What NOT to Say If You Answer 610-916-7261
Anything you say to RJM Acquisitions can be used to collect. Protect yourself — avoid these common mistakes on the call.
Don't admit the debt is yours
When 610-916-7261 calls, saying "yes, that's mine" or apologizing can be treated as acknowledging the debt — which may reset the statute of limitations. Neither confirm nor deny until you've seen written validation from RJM Acquisitions.
Don't agree to a payment on the spot
A single payment to RJM Acquisitions — even a small "good-faith" one — can restart the clock on an old debt and make it collectable again. Never authorize a payment over a call from 610-916-7261.
Don't give bank or card details
Do not read out your bank account, debit, or credit card number to anyone calling from 610-916-7261. Any legitimate RJM Acquisitions resolution can be handled in writing after validation.
Don't confirm personal information
Avoid confirming your SSN, date of birth, employer, or address to the 610-916-7261 caller. If it truly is your RJM Acquisitions account, they should already have what they need and must prove it.
What To Do If 610-916-7261 Keeps Calling
Here are concrete next steps for this specific RJM Acquisitions line. Work through them in order — each one strengthens your position before you ever discuss the debt.
- 1

- 2
Do not return the call to 610-916-7261 until you have the account details in writing — a call-back can be treated as engagement.

Ask, in writing, that RJM Acquisitions identify the original creditor behind the 610-916-7261 calls and the date the debt was opened.
Your Rights When RJM Acquisitions Calls From 610-916-7261
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) give you real leverage. Here is the debt-validation playbook we use at Crowned Credit.
1. Demand Debt Validation (FDCPA §809)
Within 30 days of first contact, send RJM Acquisitions a written debt-validation letter. They must prove the debt is yours, the amount is right, and they have the legal authority to collect — or stop collecting.
2. Dispute With the Bureaus (FCRA §611)
If RJM Acquisitions reported a tradeline, dispute it with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. They have 30 days to investigate; unverifiable items must be corrected or deleted.
3. Log the Calls
Write down every call from 610-916-7261: date, time, and what was said. Repeated calls, calls at odd hours, or threats can be FDCPA violations — and leverage for you.
4. Send a Cease-and-Desist
You can demand in writing that RJM Acquisitions stop calling you entirely. The calls must stop, even though they may still report or pursue other legal steps.
5. Check the Statute of Limitations
Every state limits how long a collector can sue on a debt. If the debt is time-barred, RJM Acquisitions generally cannot win a lawsuit — and a payment could dangerously restart that clock.
6. Know the Anti-Harassment Rules
The FDCPA bars RJM Acquisitions from calling before 8am or after 9pm, threatening you, or lying about the debt. Each violation may entitle you to statutory damages.

Is 610-916-7261 a scam number?
RJM Acquisitions is a real, registered company, and 610-916-7261 is a documented line tied to it. That said, scammers do "spoof" the caller ID of well-known collectors like RJM Acquisitions, so the number showing on your screen is not proof of anything.

Do I have to answer or call back 610-916-7261?
You are not legally required to answer 610-916-7261 or call RJM Acquisitions back. In fact, it is usually smarter to say nothing on the phone and instead demand everything in writing. Under the FDCPA, once you send a written debt-validation request, RJM Acquisitions must pause collection until it mails you proof of the debt.
Why is RJM Acquisitions calling me about charged-off consumer debt?
A call from 610-916-7261 usually means an original charged-off consumer debt went unpaid and was sold to RJM Acquisitions, which now owns the balance and dials this line to collect it. The account may have aged or changed hands more than once, so demand the full paper trail before you accept the balance as accurate.
Can I stop RJM Acquisitions from calling 610-916-7261?
Yes. The FDCPA lets you send a written cease-and-desist demand telling RJM Acquisitions to stop contacting you by phone. They can still report to the bureaus or pursue other legal steps, but the calls from 610-916-7261 and any related lines must stop. This is a useful way to end harassment while you build your dispute.
Should I pay the debt RJM Acquisitions is calling about?
Do not pay anything based on a call from 610-916-7261 until the debt is validated. Once you confirm the debt is yours, accurate, and still within your state's statute of limitations, you can consider a written pay-for-delete arrangement. Paying an unverified or time-barred debt can restart the clock and lock in a negative mark. Get a free assessment first.
