877-697-4059

Called our business and it was a robo call recording. Hung up without listening to it.

I've been receiving daily calls from this number for at least a month now.  Heard a beep followed by the usual call center boiler room noises on the line when I picked up, then the call disconnected. Number is now blocked.

No one said a word: just hung up:

This is a scam. They say you owe money and fill you with threats. Once you provide them with your credit card, they run it for $1 while on the line to make sure it is legit and run it for maximum amount. It is a scam. They got my grandma. Not sure how they got her work number but threatened to call her there until she payed up.

Called 10.38 am on Monday September 21 2020
I didnt answer

Scam

They called me at almost 8pm at night and they asked me for my birthday and when I answered they said I was wrong and asked again. When I replied again they said sorry we have something else and hung up.

They called and I picked up her name was Allison with some corporation.. I hung bc she kept asking my name which I didn't GIVE her.

This is from Ad Astra Collections

That would be Ad Astra Recovery Services, Inc.

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), cease and desist calling, or "not me" 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/

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.  If and when you get that letter you should immediately send that debt validation letter by certified, return receipt mail.

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 complaints with the FTC: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1

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