I get these calls all of the time, if they were a legitimate collections agency they would send documents stating that you owe them and for why you owe them. These guys are scammers. Don't pay them a cent, well send them a penny only because pennies are now obsolete and worthless now in this country. lol

You are a heartless [***]. My husband and I paid our debts for 30 years, without fail. My husband ran out of work and because we live on a small island, it had dried up. We own our house but the market crashed so if we sold it, we would walk out of here with nothing. Don't ASSume you !@@#*#* that it is always black and white. Try to find some compassion!

where is the government when we need them? harassing calls from unknown people

So ive been getting the same calls, the company is call "accounts recovery corp" there a collection agency

I am appalled by you lack of compassion and understanding for people. Perhaps you are a collector or you think ....you do not know what other people are going thru. perhaps you should have kept your stupid comments to yourself.

I get calls from ARC between once every 3 days to 3 times a day for about a year now.
I'm convinced it is a scam. They claim I owe bell Canada because I defaulted on my account.
I informed them that the number they called me on IS my bell account.
How could it be defaulted if I'm using it? I pay my cell phone bill in advance, for over 2 years I have been running a constant credit between 100-300 dollars per billing cycle. Always ahead.
So I called bell... They told me; "Your account is fine, better than the vast majority of accounts, you don't even need to make a payment for a few months. I'm sorry I don't know why they would say that, we don't even deal with that company, we send our defaults to some one else."
They don't even deal with ARC according to billing at Bell.
I told ARC this about... 12 times? They still call on a regular, I recognize about 5 of the numbers they use randomly.
PURE SCAM. And you cannot stop it. You can't even block the numbers, they will call with new ones.
I'm labeling this a chronic prank call, that's really what it is.
Simply ignore, don't even bother engaging them, they are not capable of understanding anything, it's not in the job description.

Ever since I changed my number to a local one after moving, I've been getting a bunch of calls.  Each time I look it up on this website, it's the same company - ARC.  The annoying thing is that I don't owe any money at all.  None.  My parents payed off my student debt (OSAP) on their line of credit, so I pay them back at prime + 1% interest, rather than prime + 3% interest that OSAP charges.  I literally don't owe the gov't any money.  I'm so sick of these calls.  I've ignored all of them so far, but maybe I should just answer & let them know it's the wrong person...

I have no loans and have a perfect credit score that the bank reps are always surprised when I go in to deal with them to discuss finances. I have had my number for over 11 years so I assume either someone gave my number by mistake on a debt or this is clearly a scam. I only received an automated message to call their toll free number but it was so quick I couldn't even write it down. Glad I came here to read this. I will ignore them as they either have the wrong person or clearly a scam.

Well everyone is not an [***] like you.

Keeps telling me I owe money for an old Bell account but not the case I just got a line of credit and obviously the banks go through your history with a fine tooth comb however I entertained there phone call making the mistake of verifying they had the person they were looking for on the phone. MISTAKE now no matter what they just keep calling you can change your number etc. won't matter they find you. Be weary of ANY information being given.

Spoken like a true collector on commission .

Best suggestion is look up the collections act in your province , your claim may be stat barred and they have no right to harras you any further.. You can put a stop to the calls if you are in a protected position  under statutes of limitations .. Educate yourself first before making mistakes and get a copy of your credit report and look at dates the claim became collectible ..

I heard ARO, on the voicemail, they said it had something to do with Ontario minister of finance. I live in BC, and have nothing to do with Ontario minister of finance. I think calls like this get people wondering about who they owe money too. But it stinks like scam to me.

these guys are calling my number on average 19 times per hour looking for the person that used to have my phone number. i have told them the person they are looking for no longer has this number and they told me they will continue calling me until the person they are looking for changes their contact info.

Yeah...these slime balls called my corporate 800 number which is forwarded to my cell.  Obviously it is a scam and these slobs should be arrested, but the FCC has no friggin idea how to deal with these slime balls.  Wake up FCC, this is a real problem that could be resolved if you focus your efforts on stopping these thieves instead of drinking coffee and wasting our tax paying dollars!

Good for you...ARC folks brought on the Kool Aid and you drank it...watch what happens next.  These people are slime balls...you, unfortunately, fell for their slime tactics.  Go see a psychologist or stop drinking the Kool Aid!

It's a scam company who recently changed there name to catchet partners group inc...they try get money from innocent people. ..then shut down the email account and phone number and disappear..
