It's Account Control Technologies, they are debt collectors for various businesses.

It is but then again maybe it isn't . Suffice it to say their overall M/O thats being reported across the net is less than professional not to mention them asking for someone never connected to my phone number for at least the last 15 years

I can't tell if this is real or a scam. The phone rings 2 times then hangs up.

Got a call today and looked the company up to find they are a data security , debt collection company. Not sure why they are calling me because I dont owe any debts and am not late on anything. Nor have I requested there assistance. The called asked to verify my information without telling me who she was calling on behalf of the nature of the call. Which is against the law. In todays society you cant trust anyone. Most banks and collection agencies will tell you who they are, why they are calling and who it is on behalf of if collecting a debt before even opening there mouths to ask you to verify anything. This caller did not. So I gave nothing.

Technically that isn't true, since they have to verify who they are talking to before stating anything about the debt since they can be sued for releasing the information to someone other than the debtor.  Now, since they talked to you, they are required to do this:

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

What you can now do is this:

You need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation letter (think of it as the best $6.47 you ever invested).  Also send it first class mail in case no one will sign for it.  Make a notation of that fact at the bottom of the letter.  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/

Guess the ones that are giving it a low rating have a higher moral and ethical value than the other thieves that work there.
Looks like they get sued a lot:

They also seem to be operating a bogus charitable foundation.


It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.
