    Dumbfounded
    I have now received two calls from this number.  They leave a message saying the company name is Ascension Point, looking for the person in charge of the estates of "John Doe", who is my brother-in-laws EX-WIFES deceased brother!! Unbelievable! I have not seen or spoken with her in five years, and wouldn't know how to reach her if I wanted to.  I will be calling the number back to tell them to take my name and number out of their system, and I WILL be pursuing legal action if they try to contact us again.

    I got a letter wantinge to call this number. They wanted to get on contact with the person who was responsible for settling my late husband's estate. I called them back and got an answering machine. This may be a time to contact a lawyer.

    They just called.  While one the phone with them I typed in their name... This site popped up.  They were vague on the phone and kept asking personal information I didn't want to give them, and would not say who the collector was.  I told them "I just researched AscensionPoint on the internet and it says you are scammers... is that true?"  Long pause.  They said wait while they put me on hold to check the account.  They never came back on.  Hmmmm.  My fathers estate, they just called about, I know had no outstanding debts, so I really wanted to know who gave AscensionPoint the info that the estate ows them?

    it may be a legit company but they are walking a thin line on what they are doing......they have a right only to what is in an estate nothing more and if there is no estate then they are out of luck ...those who are harrassed need to send a cease and desist letter to them and make copies and send restricted to the name of the person that contacts you. companies like this have no laws which allow them to go after deceased family memebers

    They called about my Fathers "estate" owing them.  I live in NC.  My Father died 25 years ago, his "estate" if he had one would have passed the state statue of limitations 24 years ago.  How do they get a "lead" on something this old?

    Harassing phone calls, falsehoods to get callbacks?.... Suspicions led my husbands secretary to answer and screen the call..., Karen White said " oh no we are not a debt collector, or telemarketer trying to collect or sell anything, I promise. Will yo please give the executor of the estate this message to call back with this reference number...xxx". And 12 calls later we called & when we did.., they were not only trying to collect a debt,...they were trying to collect on a debt that wasn't even his!   We were led to believe that they were a service to wrap up and finalize the estates of deceased.....  NOT EVEN RESPONSIBLE FOR the decease's debts to begin with,..!  I JUST WANT THE CALLS TO STOP~ thanks.

    I was getting called by a telemarketer and wanted the calls to stop and so I told them that the person they were calling had died (which was me).  Now, I'm getting calls from Accension Point, asking about the deceased.  LOL!!  the telemarketer sold my account to this company!!  This is the funniest thing ever!  They asked to talk to the person handling my estate, so I handed the phone to my daughter.  They asked for her name, and then asked the date of my death.  She told them that it was on the Social Security register.  They told her, they had my date of death but wanted her to confirm it so that they knew they were talking to the right person.  She replied she wouldn't give it to them because there were to many scams out there that would try to use it.  This place is totally a scam and telemarketers are selling off numbers to each other.  If you have ever told a telemarketer that someone is deceased that they are trying to call, this is it!!  They are selling this number to them.

    Good luck! replies to Cinthia
    I don't mean to be insensitive, but I'd be tempted to give the cemetery address and plot number and tell them to go collect.
    Not sure if you're saying they sent a Debt Validation Letter with the original creditor listed, along with your rights, etc. as provided in the FDCPA ... OR if they just sent a letter saying:

    John Doe owes $50, send me money.  type thing.

    These [***] at AscensionPoint are trying to get you to cough up information about the person answering the phone so they can badger you to pay for "debts" that don't exist. My advice is to file a formal complaint. If you look at the BBB, they've had quite a lot of them. How rotten of them to call someone grieving and trick them out of money.

    This is one company that deserves to go under.

    My dad died two months ago. My mom got a letter last week. We both feel it is a scam. My parents don't even owe on their house.  Thank God I have a friend at the state AG's office and several family members who are attorneys.

    I will be calling them this morning to ask for verification of what is owed. Once I don't get it from them, I'm off to the AG's office.

    The debt collectors are behaving badly again. This time they're hitting up surviving family members for money that's owed by the dead!

    The New York Times reports that some collection agencies specialize in this somewhat morbid pursuit. Collectors even receive "sensitivity" training to deal with grieving relatives. They'll speak in hushed tones on the phone like a funeral director and refer you to a legitimate grief counselor if necessary.

    In most cases, you have no legal obligation to assume the debt of a late spouse, sibling or parent. But the collectors will never tell you that.

    The only states where there is a possibility that a surviving spouse may have some responsibility for a debt are "community property states" -- Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin.

    In such states, an executor/executrix or administrator (in the event there is no will) may be responsible for assessing the estate to see if there's money to pay out to creditors.

    But in general, if you get a call from these slimeballs, know that you likely don't owe them a penny.

    Oh come on -  you know you work for either GE Capital Retail or CitiBank and you are just trying to deflect the bad publicity they are getting from these posts.  Why don't you get a real job.

    I just received my first call from this company.  They were trying to contact the Executor of my mother's estate.  Bad news for them--my mother was a victim of Identity Theft and that process is in the criminal courts.  The company, Comenity Bank and Comenity Capital Bank, was properly and legally notified.  Comenity was in contact with the District Attorney's office continually and as of a couple of weeks prior to Grand Jury.  However, Comenity chose to sell/turnover collection to AscensionPoint. Comenity/Ascension Point may have been able to recover from the thief, through the courts.

    We received several calls from Ascension.  My husband is the executor of his parent's estate and there is money to pay off all legitimate debts, which was always our intention to do as soon as it cleared probate.  My husband immediately notified ALL of their creditors as soon as they died to explain any delay in payment.  Back to Ascension:
    They called and asked for the name of our lawyers helping with the estate.  They never once identified themselves as working for Citibank (who had assured us that they would wait for payment and that they would be sending the appropriate paperwork, which of course never arrived) nor did Citibank tell us that they were sending a bill all of a month overdue to collection.  What in the hell is Citibank thinking?  They got notice that the estate was probated and that payment was forthcoming.  This is over a lousy $100.  How  *&^*#*!  stupid are they?  Why wouldn't they have the courtesy to tell us that we should deal with Ascension, which seemed to immediately be some kind of scam.  I will never put a bloody nickel of our money in any of their banks.  Idiots.
    So yes, in some cases they are legitimate, but both Citibanks's and Ascensions business practices stink to high heavens.

    Another call from Ascention Point. They tried to say they'd never contacted me before although it was the same number that I reported here a couple weeks ago, I've also received mail from them (which I threw away), and they are still trying to collect something on my stepmother who just died six weeks ago.

    This time they called and identified themselves. I told them I had told them everything I had to say when they called before. She denied calling before. I said her company had called before because I looked up her number and found out their name and also reported the call. I said nothing has changed since then. I said my stepmother died wiithout an estate and without an executor.

    This woman then acted like she had caught me out in something and said, 'm'am, we have information that you were the Power Of Attorney." I told her, 'you see, this is exactly how I can tell that you are not a legitimate company." She tried to interrupt me but I just kept talking. I said, 'if you were a legitimate company, you would know that the Power of Attorney does not survice the death the person for whom the service is being provided." I said, "therefore, my POA ceased as soon as Eunice died. I think you know that, and I think you are banking on the fact that I don't know that. My next call will be to the attorney general's office." Whereupon, she hung up on me.
