How can I protect myself and fight back against Asset Management Outsourcing Inc?

There are many ways for you to fight back against such predatory companies such as asset management outsourcing Inc. To start, you must be willing to tell them to stop calling you. Although this may seem silly and ridiculous to do, they are legally obligated under the FDCPA to stop contact with you if you request them to. If they do not, it is a breach of the FDCPA laws, and considered illegal in terms of debt collection practices.

The second way to protect yourself is to verify the debt.

Requesting authentication of the debt is well within your rights as a debtor and consumer. This can be done in several ways, such as asking to speak with the original debt holder, or asking for written authentication in a letter or note. If they do not provide you with this information, then you are not obligated to pay the debt in any form.
