Is A&S Collection Associates a legit Debt Collection Agency?

Although A&S Collection Associates do have a legitimate background and information layout, there is some misinformation and unknown factors to consider about them.

They are said to have been in business since 1993, and have a combined business experience pool of over 150 years.

The Better Business Bureau has them listed as residing in Citrus Heights, California. They are listed as having started in 1995, with 24 years of experience under their belt. They are also listed as having been shut down after the passing of the listed Vice President, Ronald Saldi Jr. on the BBB.
