Complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and across the internet allege that A.C.A. Recovery, Inc.'s customer service representatives use profane language, fail to identify themselves as debt collectors, and threaten to take legal action against consumers while calling to collect on debts.

- Calling consumers before 8:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m.
- Falsely implying that a consumer has committed a crime or will be arrested for not paying a bill
- Using any language that the natural consequence of which is to make a person feel abused
- Threatening to take any action the collector does not intend to take
- Allowing a consumer's telephone to ring continuously
- Calling consumer's at work when they know the employer does not allow personal calls
- Contacting a consumer after being asked in writing to stop
- Failing to provide a consumer with basic information needed to verify a debt
