800-851-5736

Sarah Mills

I would like to know who this number is:800-851-5736.  They won't leave a message to who they are but the guy was sorta rude when he called me.

Do you know who this number belongs to?

The number belongs to some company called Ashwood Financial which does billing and collections.

Received message on answering machine. First time someone said that called to get our SS#; second call with request to call back and left a reference number. No other info provided.

tired of this calling. Don't know who they are. Really upset because they tell you tocall s
certain numbers to blocks these call and they don't work they just keep calling people. Really would like some kind of service to worl with this annoyance.

This company has been leaving messages and saying they are a debt collector and to call back.  I called back from a different phone # and the line rang line 10 to 15 times and no one picked up.  I think it may be a scam.

Has called at least ten times this past week. Very tired and fed up with this number calling.and now today makes ten times.

Calls everyday.  Person says to press a number to speak to someone, but that doesn't work and the recording keeps talking

They are the worst and most and are collecting with notes that are not accurate and call all day even when told I am at work.  They are HARASSING ME at this point

When dealing with a debt collector it is best to communicate your wishes by certified, return receipt mail.  It should start with a letter on a company letterhead that says you cannot receive personal calls at work.  Then on a personal level you should be making them follow the letter of the law.  It starts here:

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and (this is the important part) 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. 

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.

Have you received that letter?  If not then they are violating the law.  If so, you should have immediately responded with this:

You will need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation (by law they have to go back to the original creditor to prove you owe the debt) letter (this will be the best money that you have 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/

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.
