This company called my work (A R G & Ass)  while I was at lunch and spoke with my boss. They asked my boss how they would handle me being served at my work for court. My boss got all the information that the guy would give call back number, case number but would not leave a name. When I returned I was given the information and my boss stood by my desk while I called. The 1st person to answer said that the name of the company was A I G Assoc but then I was transfered to a man who stated the name of the company was Assets Relient, still not sure what their actual name is. Anyways the gentleman that I talked to asked me who I was and he stated that I use to be called by a differant last name and the one he told me was a name I have never had so I told him he must have the wrong person. Then he asked me if my last four of my social are  _ _ _ _ and i said yes then he stated then this is you. He told me I owed a debt on a car loan from 1999 that I am being sued in civil court on. I told him I had never had a car loan on 1999. Hw just kept arguing, I asked what the amount was he said 10,300.00 but he would settle today for 1,248.13. I told him I was not paying him anything because this was not me and he still continued to argue. I asked him to fax me something regarding this and I was told that he does not have to fax me anything that I know I owe this. These are scams people do not send them anything. I tols this man that he was on speaker phone and my boss was listening to everything and he hung up. A real debt collector will want to give you information on the item being collected for. DO NOT SEND THIS COMPANY MONEY. Anyone who has contact with these people need to report them.

    You are dealing with a fraudulent "debt collection" shakedown racket.
    As you already know, the "car loan" is fake.


    They commonly use threatening calls to employers to intimidate you by threatening to embarass you in front of your employer.  It's a phone extortion racket, run by criminals.

    If they have your SSN, they may have gotten it from some fake "payday loan application" website you might have applied on, even if you never got any loan.

      This is precisely what happened. I attempted to apply for a loan last week. After thinking about it. I decided I didn't really need to go that route. Now. I'm getting so many phone calls and even text messages.

        I applied online for a loan, but never finished it.  Within 2 days, almost $100 had been taken out of my account.  Luckily, my bank reimbursed me and said this company had attempted 2 more times to get money.  Closed that account and opened new one.  Then they said they were suing me over the money that I never got!  How crazy!

    TJ you are the fraud. No one else but you buddy. You support people who don't pay their bills or outstanding debts because you have that in common with them. That's why you have the time to respond to every post made on every blog site referencing collection agencies. If you went to work like these debt collectors you'd be busy earning an honest living and paying back your old creditors. Not encouraging people to not handle their past financial obligations. This company is not fraudulent. You people complain to BBB, FTC, AG Office, all at an additional cost to our state and government! Pay your bills and contribute to this country rather than continue to take advantage if the resources at your disposal just as you took advantage of the creditors who extended you that credit in good faith. Pay your bills! Quit crying, quit lying, quit pointing  the finger! I am I the collection industry but I go to work everyday to provide a service to help consumers resolve past mishaps in a professional manner without passing judgement, to provide for my family, and be a good person all around. Not to lie or manipulate anyone. Karma is a bad thing... Good luck to you all. We all should know what is right and what is wrong.

      You are an idiot and if you were a self respecting "business man" you would know the ftc laws on how to correctly collect a debt. You could get a real job and then you wouldnt have to get so butthurt when someone who cant pay theyre bills on time or if someone investigsates a company before giving them they're card number and information why would that upset you. ARG is a fake company collecting debts and not turning them into a credit service as paid. you would be an idiot to not be pissed about giving money away for free to some goober thats too dumb to rip people off the real way face to face and risk getting your hoe card pulled. nget the [***] outta here you geeker [***] [***] boy.

      You are a super idiot to think that these companies are real. Some of them are not and some are. But if your calling me to tell me I owe a debt and I know I don't. If I ask for proof they should have it. No REAL Legit debt collector is going to ask for money and can't tell you any information about the debt but expect you to pay it. I've had several companies call to extort money claiming they were FBI agents, and detectives and they were coming to my job or house to arrest me if I didn't pay money. Even to go as far as saying they are suing me in court. By all means please do so. Because I know my debts and these bs people need to find some legit employment instead of hounding hard working citizens and trying to weasle them out of money they don't owe.

        got the call too replies to Lady luck
        Total fraud; I just received the call and I have never taken out any car loans or mortgages or loans of any kind.  I don't have any debt at all.  I pay cash for my cars.  Complete nonsense.

      Boss Man works for said scam collection agencies.  If the debt was legitimate, then the collection agency would provide the information needed to confirm that it was legitimate, not hang up on the person as soon as they ask for that information.  You are the trash that preys on the elderly and unsuspecting victims to steal their hard-earned money. You are correct, Karma is a bad thing.  GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

      "in a professional manner without passing judgement" Mr Boss man, If you think that harrassing people at work and calling to speak with their boss about their business is ok, then you MR. have it all wrong! You, as well as other so called collectors do often call and harrass people who have never taken out these loans. The information you get from whatever source, is often wrong. You bully and intimidate! And how in the heck do you know that this TJ person does not have a good job, or even just, A job? There are MANY scam artists out there and if you were a legit collector, you would not be hanging up on people as they question your authenticity as a real collector and ask for proof. And yes.. you must show proof, not just assume they are going to believe you because you know the last for of someones social. I really can't see how some people as yourself can rest at night knowing how you bully people throughout the day. Shameful!!

      you are an idiot, a scum thug working in a under regulated industry, that harasses mostly hard working people that have been scammed by a system that lures people into taking out loans they cant afford....I can go on and on about the politics and greed that creates these hardships including recent market and economic depressions and recessions, created by politicions keep people in debt and poor by protecting corporate greed, but, it would easily go in and out one ear and the other because there is noting there to grasp the complexities that create consumer debt...your a leach in trying to "justify" your thug actions in a corrupt system that preys on peoples broken dreams...and then blames them when they get caught in a well planed out, premeditated criminal financial trap...get a real job...then talk your [***]...ARG is a scam, they dont want to solve anything, they want naive people to pay them for debts that have already been settled, based on their threats of investigation and court....and they never follow through with any of the threats, just phone harassment...theses criminal companies are leaches on society...their days are coming to an end

      Consider the following when you go to work tomorrow:
      Wire fraud takes place over phone lines or involves electronic communications. The legal definition of wire fraud has four elements:
      The defendant created or participated in a scheme to defraud another out of money or property;
      The defendant did so with intent to defraud;
      It was reasonably foreseeable that the defendant would use wire communications; and
      The defendant did in fact use interstate wire communications.
      This includes phones, email, wire transfers etc.
