It is illegal for a debt collector to make empty threats to sue you or garnish your wages. It is also unlikely AAS would sue you for a debt you may not owe or they cannot validate. However, debt collection agencies are known to have summoned debtors to court and garnish wages after a default judgement. Contacting an attorney BEFORE this could possibly happen would be a smart move. We’ve helped thousands of consumers fight back against unscrupulous debt collection harassers.

Unlawful Debt Harassment? Learn the Law & Sue the Collector.
Absolutely. You can sue a debt collector. Here is a Sample Case Complaint:
Complaints against Affiliate Asset Solutions commonly cite problems resulting from disputes about the validity of debts and allegations of aggressive and potentially illegal communication tactics. In February 2018, a complainant indicated she had received “harassing, repeated calls with RUDE, IGNORANT agents despite telling them NOT TO CALL HER AGAIN!” She stated that she had been receiving “repeated phone calls from this company almost daily… and has the phone records to prove it.” She said that she had “asked their agents NOT to call her again, and their continuance in this behavior constitutes HARASSMENT!” She stated that she recognized that AAS is a collection agency but insists that she had “absolutely NO IDEA what they are trying to collect on, for which account, or for which company…because the people who have called her from this company excel in IGNORANCE, BELLIGERENCE and HOSTILITY” and do not “know HOW to appropriately communicate intelligently with people.” The complainant stated that she is “a professional person”; that she “understands how to conduct collections”; and that AAS representatives have not upheld standards. She concluded by stating that she was amazed that AAS “has such a high rating with…BBB, …which makes her question the veracity of … BBB. Nonetheless, … she filed this complaint in an effort to utilize a progressive response to AAS’s constant harassment.”
In response, Affiliate Asset Solutions stated that their “records show only one oral communication with the consumer…who notified AAS at that time …to cease and desist communication with her.” AAS said they had “abided by that request.” AAS acknowledged that their “review of that recording, and their agent’s response to the consumer’s aggressiveness, was not up to their standards. Consequently, AAS counseled… and reprimanded the agent in accordance with their Quality/Compliance and HR policies. AAS apologized to the consumer and promised to renew their pledge to be the most patient-centric and consumer-centric receivables management organization in the world.”
Federal laws protect you. The Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA) regulates the behavior of collection agencies by prohibiting actions such as the use of abusive or threatening language; harassment; or the use of false or misleading information to collect a debt. The FCRA regulates how collection agencies and creditors report delinquent debts to credit reporting agencies. Additional consumer protection laws include the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and the Consumer Financial Protection Act (CFPA).
Yes. If you want to enforce your rights, or recover money for violations — you need to sue. Federal laws provide individuals like you with a means to seek monetary damages in court. For example, the FDCPA allows consumers who have been violated to recover damages of up to $1,000, plus attorney fees and court costs.
You may have a case, if…
“To anybody who has a problem with a debt collector, I highly suggest Lemberg Law. I obtained attentive, personalized service and obtained resolution within three months.”
“I could not have stopped the collection calls myself.
“Thank you Lemberg Law!!! Harassed non-stop by rude collectors. My attorney was speedy and polite, really knew what she was doing. They took my call, asked what was going on, never interrupted, and were extremely patient. I knew what was going on every step of the way. They got the calls to stop and sent me a check in the mail as promised. I even paid off my debt with the settlement! Ha!.”
“Thank you for standing with me Lemberg Law. I was so afraid I could lose my job because of a caller who called my job number 4 hours straight back to back. He not only harassed and threatened me but also abused workmates who received the call when I wasn’t around. Since I solicited for your services, I’ve had a peace of mind, and I’m happy because of the few dollars I got as a settlement.”

Affiliate Assest Solutions calls me almost every morning at 8:00 a.m. for months now, sometimes twice in a day. I have phone records as proof. I called them back today and the debt they are calling about was paid through Florence Hospital years ago. That hospital also went bankrupt. I’ve asked AAS to stop harassing me and since they won’t, I’m seeking your assistance. Thank you.
Not sure, they called me many times with really bad attitude.
I saw your page about Affiliate Asset Solutions. My son and I are being harassed about a hospital bill they say wasn’t paid. We called the hospital and received a receipt for the bill that was payed in full. Furthermore, they never heard of AAS. I would like the harassment to stop but I’m more concerned about my son’s credit report. Thanks!
