I am not liable for the debt with 05 SURFSIDER OWNERS ASSOC **** I do not have a contract with Aspen National Collection. When I requested, they provide me with original contract, they DID NOT provide one.Business response
07/31/2024
We will send verification of debt. This the first time he has requested it. We called the phone number he provided for a year, no answer. He called us June 24, 2024, because he was trying to close on a home. He was aware what the bill was for and we even offered to remove it from his credit if he paid it in full. Later that day we received a transunion dispute claiming identity theft. He does not have a contract with Aspen because no one hires a collection agency to collect from themselves. The ******************************* has every right to send delinquent accounts to collections in the best interest of all the owners as a whole. If he contacts our office and pays it in full, we would still be willing to remove it from his credit.Customer response

I sent a check (#****) on June 9, 2024, which was written on June 3, 2024 to the ************, *********, but this collection agency somehow got hold of it and wants to charge me $560+. I am sending them copy of the front and back of the check, and hope this will get resolved.Business response
07/22/2024
The account was assigned to our office June 24, 2024. Regardless of the date of the check, our client received it July 1, 2024, at their lockbox. We allow a 7 day grace ****** on new accounts sent to us so we cancelled the account with our office.Initial Complaint

I am not liable for this debt with Vacation Village at *******. I do not have a contract with ASPEN NATIONAL COLLECTIONS, they did not provide me with the original contract as I requested.Business response
07/11/2024
The account we have listed is under **************** with that address and phone number. It appears the consumer goes by both names. We spoke to her at the phone number above January 10, 2024, asking about payments and if it was paid, would it come off her credit. She was to call back, but did not until June 6 ,2024. At that point the account had been updated to include past due fees for 2024. We have never had a request for verification of debt. Just an itemization which was sent the day after she called. We will send her verification of debt showing her obligation to our client. She has no contract with Aspen because we were hired by the Vacation Village at *************************** to collect the past due bill from her and the other party. No one has a contract with a collection agency to collect from themselves.Customer response

Complaint: 21967013The burden of proof falls on the collection agency not the consumer( me). I find it concerning that Aspen National Collections is not complying with legal requests. I request Aspen National Collections provide proof they sent debt validation, as is my legal right. If Aspen National Collections cannot provide proof, I demand this account be removed from my credit report as is my right per FCRA section 623.(a)(I).
This is my last request before I file a formal with the **** and the FTC.
Sincerely,
***********Business response
07/24/2024
We sent verification of the debt July 13, 2024, at their request. It is was signed as **************** and ********** and ******** and that is who is being reported to the credit bureau. Again, no one has a contract with a collection agency. Just like I would not have a contract with a repossession company that takes my car if I don't make the payment, but that does not mean they are not going to take the car. *************** has the right to hire a collection agency if owners don't pay their bills.Initial Complaint

I am writing urgently to address errors on my credit report caused by the disclosure of my personal information to credit bureaus, resulting in significant financial and emotional distress.Under 15 USC 1681 Section 602, I have the right to financial privacy and expect my information to remain confidential.Additionally, per 15 USC 1681 Section 604(a)(2), a consumer reporting agency cannot share account details without my explicit consent, which I have not given.The discrepancies related to ASPEN COLL have negatively impacted my financial situation and need immediate correction.Moreover, compliance with 15 USC 1666(b) is crucial, as it prohibits creditors from treating credit card payments as late under certain conditions.For your reference, here are my account details:Account Number: ****************I request a thorough review of my account, prompt correction of the credit report inaccuracies, and strict adherence to federal laws governing my information.Failure to address these concerns promptly may result in legal action. I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter.Sincerely,*******************************Business response

The account was assigned to our office July 26, 2021, for past due maintenance fees and real estate taxes for the ***************** Resort Owner's Association. **** continued to accrue until a deed in lieu of foreclosure was recorded in 2023, satisfying the mortgage obligation. The fees that were due to the owner's association were not included in the deed in lieu. We have noted the account as disputed and been trying to reach the consumer as well as the other owners on the property with no luck. We will mail verification of debt and if the account is cleared up, we would be willing to remove the item from his credit history.Initial Complaint

I do not have any contracts with Aspen, I do not agree to pay Aspen anything. I dispute the amount they claim to be collecting. I dispute the added fee they put on my credit report every month. I have never received a full contract show where they can prove I agreed to the amount they claim I owe to their client. I have never received proof that any contract allows them to add an abundance of fees to any money they claim is owed. I want this cleared from my credit records as there is no proof of debt.Business response

The account was assigned by the management company for Vacation Village at ******* Owner's Association. She would not have a contract with our office. She did not hire us to collect from herself. We have never had a request for verification of debt before. We will mail it to the address provided. If the account were paid in full soon, we would remove it from her credit history.Customer response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: your proof of debt is a deed that someone put my name on - I did not sign this I did not put this in my name.So all I have to do is file a paper signed by a seller and put in someone else's name?
The other proof of debt you sent was bylaws .
Since I would never have done this, unless I was drunk, I don't even like Florida that much and my kids don't like Disney.
I dispute the ownership of this debt and everything associated with it.
Sincerely,
************************* *******Business response

Hello,
We provided a copy of the legally recorded deed which you would not have signed. If you think it was fraud, you can discuss that with the company that recorded it. Because you purchased it from a third party, our client would not have a copy of a contract with you. I sent along our clients notes from conversations they had with you last year when you were trying to let your sister use your week, but you were not up to date. Also, notes from last week when you contacted them about being in collections. Our client, the owner's association, bills the deeded owner according to the county records.
