832-476-1739

I started getting automated phone calls from these people every day in early november 2008. It identifies itself as a collection agency, but I know that I don't owe anyone money. The person who eventually gets on the line does not know my name, but wants my social sec number and information.  I refused to furnish it, because I believe this person is "fishing" for personal info to sell as identity theft.  It is very annoying to get hounded every single day, and I wish that I could get them to stop. I am trying to find a way to register a complaint.

Received a vm from a Tom Jacobs saying that this was a debt collection call and to return the call. Given that I would expect a debt collector to mail a letter first I looked up online and found this string of posts. I won't be returning the call. If they have our phone number, I'm sure they have/could find our address if this is legitimate. Phone # left was 1740 instead of the 39 on the caller ID.

Harris county is located in Houston Texas. I also got a letter and a call. I am currently doing my own investigation on who they are and their exact location, since I live here.

The Address is AvanteUSA 2950 S. Gessner Rd, Suit 265 Houston Tx. 77063.

Bother This Guy. PAYBACK!!!!!

the man mr johnson let a nasty message on my machaine wich if they are a collection place they vialoated the fdcpa and they will be hearing from my atterny

And I have written to the company asking for information concerning what debt they are trying to contact me in regards to and gotten no reply, but still get extremely rude phone calls demanding that I return their call.

keeping calling my home but want said nothing i ask want thet want then they hang up

Avante called and said we had credit card debt. We do not own a credit card.
The frightening thing was they had our ssn but no date of birth.

This company has been calling several weeks leaving messages instructing us to call Tom Jacobs about a debt. I do not owe anyone anything and when you answer their calls a recording picks up. They call several times a day and leave these messages on the answering machine. If anyone knows how to stop them please leave a post; maybe a class action lawsuit is in order!

Company continues to contact me on the home office fax line at akk houra looking for a Robin Hinant.  Upon calling them back at 832-476-1740 or as of today 281-501-7534 as requested and making sure this is not concerning me, they are rude, assinine and upon being fussed at by them about this is the number they have listed and it is not their problem if this is the only number they have to call for Robin Hinnant they refuse to believe that this is not the Robin Hinnanr residence, and they hang up on me without warning.  I continue to be told that they will remove this number of mine that again is a home fax line from their registry to only be contacted again and again by the same folks looking for this person named Robin Hinnant.  If I knoew the person, I'd give them a piece of my mind and turn them in!!!

I received a call from them tonight.  Concerned, because they said it was in reference to a utility bill, I called back.  I spoke with a woman who was EXTREMELY nasty.  They had my former married name, the last four digits of my SS#, but an address where I've never lived and an account number that is not mine.  They have a website, Avante USA, that identified them as a company that assists in collecting "accounts receivable."

This company called in the past looking for someone we don't know. They left the number 832-476-1740 to call back. They called again yesterday and I've had it. I filed a complaint with the do not call registry (probably a waste of time) and also the Houston Better Bus. Bureau. I would urge anyone else having problems with this company to do the same as it will be taken more seriously by the BBB. We do not owe any debt and the people at Avante were exceedingly RUDE when I asked them to please stop calling our home.  If anyone else is still having problems with them, please reply back- as I am writing Avante and will not let them slide out of this this time.

They all leave messages to return calls.  We are not behind on any bills so we don't even know why they are calling and we will not be calling them back to find out.

I recieved the IMPERATIVE message from this number. The guys name was ron peterson and my sister thought someone was calling from the police station or something because he was very persistant. He asked for my cell phone number because it was soooo important.

I've been receiving calls from this company for approximately one
month.  They call just about every day.  They identify themselves
as a collection agency and state that it is extremely urgent that
I return their call.

My husband was hurt at his job when he was 17 years old.  The insurance company paid the hospital not the doctors (they never received the bill).  We have never received a bill in the last 9 years.  Out of nowhere about a month ago we received a call from a very rude ignorant collection agency (Avante USA).  After some research we finally figured out what they could be talking about so we did some digging spoke w/ his old employer as well as the insurance company.  They advised they didn't know about the bill but would be happy to pay it....problem solved right? NO WRONG!....Avante contacted us back and we told the what was happening we told them we needed a bill sent and insurance would pay...they were not happy w/ that they told us we needed to pay the bill now..they were so mean and rude the things that came out of their mouths, absolutely unbelievable.  The have told us 5 times now that they would mail or email a paper to us, we have yet to receive anything.  About a week or so ago the insurance company was nice enough to send the money w/o receiving a bill but do you think the calls have stopped? Ofcourse not.  The called again today my husband who is way calmer then I am tried for the 7th time probably to explain the situation.  The ignorant female on the phone could have cared less so I got on the phone and tried to calmy explain what was going on, when I finished she said I don't know if you thought you were going to change my mind by getting on the phone and before she could finish what she was saying I finally lost it.  I will be contacting the BBB tomorrow.  This is not how you conduct business.

Answered the phone, got the message that it was a "debt collector" and to press 1 to "talk to an agent." Pressed 1 and the phone hung up. Checked caller ID, called them. They were looking for someone I do not know. I said that I had this number for 11 years and no person by that name ever lived here. They apologized and said they would take this number off their list.
Great, huh? Except this is the 3rd time they have told me that! Now, they get to be reported to my State Attorney General.

called said it was imperative to call 1-832-476-1740  which  did, they asked for my wife and I said she is not here  they implied that she was, i advised not to call again and they stated they would call whenever they wanted as is is not harassment, I told them Im not valerie and you are harassing me, i owe you nothing, they said she did and will call till they get ahold of her. I stated I was contacting the states attys office and the girl said go ahead you dont know my name and hung up. That is a definete violation of the fair credit act, they have to identify themselves upon request. I then contacted an attorneys office. we will see what happens.
