Dear *****************************,
We have several people with the same name in our system. Could you please send us a DOB or last 4 digits of your SSN so I can pull up the account? We do collection services for our clients, so we wouldn't have a signed agreement with you. Is there an original creditor listed on the credit bureau? You can email me at ******************************** or call us toll free at ************.

Complaint: 21814487

I am rejecting this response because: I have no knowledge of this debt. When signing into my appointment, and signing out, They said no money was owed on the ac**unt, and that my **************** was **vering the procedure. Pretty sure I even paid a ** pay while I was there, and was told numerous times, nothing else was owed. Is there any documentation that I have signed? Does Delta Dental or the ************** have any signed forms stated I was going to owe a balance?

Sincerely,

Complaint: 21520012

Still not really sure where we're getting the $2,850 balance from. Attached you sent me my pay history, yes there was only 4 payments made but two of them were for 2 months so there was a total of 6 months paid. The payment on March 20th was $300 and covered March and April, May and **** were paid, and then August there was a payment of $300 again covering July and August. There was a total payment of $900 which paid 6 months. The total Total for minimum Term is $3,812.90 as stated by ***********;(see attached file).As per the contract (see file attached) I'm only obligated to pay 50% of the REMAINING balance NOT TO EXCEED $1,000. So I'm not exactly sure again where the $2,850 balance is coming from.
Sincerely,

Dear ***************,
I believe we can work something out to everyone's satisfaction. The reason our client did not set the balance at $1000 is because you did not provide notice that you wanted to terminate the contract early. They attempted to contact you and there was no response. There was even a credit card chargeback. Therefore, they charged you the remainder of the contract.
In speaking with them today, they are willing to accept $1000 as payment in full. The client mentioned today that you have reached out and would like to rejoin the gym. They have informed us that if you pay the $1000, you can rejoin upon completion of that payment. You can make a payment and/or set up a payment plan with us by either calling us toll free at ************ and ask for *****. Or you can mail us a payment at:

Again thats not true, attached youll see the email I sent back in July trying to cancel my email and their response. Theres a whole chain of emails of us corresponding back and forth. I tried working something out with them before and I would no longer like to rejoin, I dont want to get in business with them again as they continuously lie to their customers trying to figure out a solution. They stopped responding and I heard nothing from them for months and then all of sudden I got sent to collections. Before any payment is made please write up an agreement that my account will be removed from collections and dropped from my credit as soon as payment of $1,000 is made.

Sincerely,

I am rejecting this response because I have never entered into any business arrangement and I have never signed any contract to conduct any kind of business with you, you are a 3rd party collector, you have no permission to furnish any information on my credit report in the first place. The law states that before you collect any information, about me, you have to get my authorization to access my credit report for any reason. You didnt do that first, and theres no way I would ever give a collection company permission to slander me on my credit report for a payment that I have already made. Here's the *********************** communications. A communication is described in this

I am writing to submit a formal statement regarding my experience with Forest Recovery Services, as I believe their actions have been unethical and necessitate investigation.I received a notice from Forest Recovery Services claiming that I owed a debt related to an appliance company. Immediately, I contacted them to dispute the debt, asserting that I had never signed for any services with an appliance company and that the debt was not mine.Their response was shockingly nonchalant and dismissive. I was informed that "the company somehow got your information," which is both vague and deeply concerning. I reiterated that the account was not mine, and I did not owe any such debt.Instead of investigating the matter thoroughly or providing any evidence to support their claim, they simply apologized and suggested that if I paid the amount, they could make it disappear from my credit report "as if it were never there." This felt like a thinly veiled attempt to strong-arm me into paying a debt that I did not owe.This response raises serious concerns about the legitimacy of their collection practices. Instead of addressing the validity of the debt or providing evidence to support their claim, Forest Recovery Services seemed more interested in coercing payment without due diligence.I am filing this statement of facts with the Better Business Bureau to request an investigation into Forest Recovery Services' practices. I believe their actions violate ethical standards and may potentially harm the credit reputation of innocent individuals.
