      MSW ******* bought a debt that I had from SunBelt with my car title as collateral. I had paid the debt in full and received a letter confirming this. I have tried contacting MSW several times and the phone line goes strait to a busy signal and disconnects. The other number I found has some kind of medical alert scam sounding recordings. All I want is my car title.

      MSW Capital, LLC is a passive debt-buying company meaning that we purchase charged off accounts and outsource the collection effort to our collection agencies and/or law firms.  MSW Capital, LLC does not make active collection attempts as we are represented by our servicer (either law firm or agency) who handles representation. 

      In response to your claim that you just want your car title.  We do show this account that was used as collateral for your vehicle is indeed paid.  This account was purchased from Mariner Finance back in December 2015 (this was the same Sunbelt account though which you referenced in your complaint.   We needed a bit of time to research thoroughly, to see if a title was provided with the purchase in 2015.    We never received the actual title for the *** ID:  *****************.   We are unable to provide you the actual title because we are not in possession of it.  It is still possible that Mariner Finance (perhaps the specific branch in which you originally applied using this vehicle as collateral) may have retained the physical copy.   I reviewed the *********** DMV site to see if by chance this was an electronic title (which happens on occasion) and then it could be released electronically but this does show its a paper title (see below)

      BBB Case: ********
      MSW Ref #:  534016431

      **************:

      We are in receipt of your correspondence from the Better Business Bureau, BBB Case Number ******** and have finished our temporary review.    

      MSW Capital, LLC is a passive debt-buying company meaning that we purchase charged off accounts and outsource the collection effort to our collection agencies and/or law firms.  MSW Capital, LLC does not make active collection attempts as we are represented by our servicer (either law firm or agency) who handles representation. 

      In response to your claim that you just received notice that we are trying to *** you and have not received any information yet.   We will need more information from you.    MSW Capital, LLC is the full owner of this debt with the last 8 of this credit card as 09007420.    First, you want to make sure that the paperwork matches.   We have not sold this debt to anyone else.   Currently, no law firm within MSW Capital, LLCs network is attempting to *** you for this debt.    Only a law firm, on behalf of MSW Capital, can legally *** you for repayment and we have not done so, so at first glance, this would appear to be some type of fraudulent collection activity. 

      The account itself is a Credit Card that was opened by *************** back in 2012.   This was subsequently charged off by *************** in 2013 (almost 1 year later) and sold to MSW Capital, LLC in March 2013 through ******* Originator III.    I have also included the Chain of Title/Bill of Sale which are legal documents and which your account was included.    As stated above we have no law firm attempting to *** you on our behalf.   We have closed this account and it has been closed for years.   There is no current collection activity occurring on this account.  To be certain this has no ties to MSW and is a fraudulent collection attempt by another organization, I would ask for the name of that company so we can report them back to Credit One back and *******.   Furthermore, any law firm or agency attempting to collect this debt outside of our network legally would have to have purchased it from MSW Capital, LLC which has not happened.  

      Our goal is always to try and assist every customer in resolving their accounts in accordance with the ***** and all other Federal and State laws and guidelines.   We appreciate you bringing this to the BBB and allowing MSW Capital, LLC a chance to review this matter for you and hopefully assist you moving forward.

      In your message you stated that you were being sued; however, it wasn't a new suit so that's why we were initially confused and assuming there had to be an issue.    In reference to that court docket/case that you listed.   This court case hasn't been touched since 2017.    This law firm is no longer in business and the court is setting the case for dismissal.    See the attached notice.    As you can see, this was filed in early 2017.  Nothing has been done on this case by that firm and it would appear the court is clearing it off it's docket because of the length of time it's been open.   

      The last note from the court states  "Hearing on Motion for Dismissal"

      I had a credit card that was charged off and sent to MSW Capital LLC back in 2019. I paid it off in May of 2019. I am now receiving calls that the credit card company, Credit One, is suing me for the credit card even though it was handled. I have been trying to reach out to MSW to get whatever document they sent originally because I can't find it so I can send it to the law firm. When I call the only number available it asks for my ssn so they can transfer me to the correct place it doesn't do anything. I can't get a hold of them and I need some information. There is no website for me to go to anymore so I can log in. I made my payments on a website and it can't find it.

      We are in receipt of your correspondence from the BBB Case Number ******** and have completed our research into your complaint.   In your BBB complaint you stated that you have previously taken care of this debt and looking to get your lien released off the vehicle.      

      MSW Capital, LLC is a passive debt buyer meaning that we purchase debt which has been defaulted on due to non-payment and we do outsource the debt to our collection agencies and collection law firms to handle the debt with our customers.  

      We agree with you that this debt has been previously paid.   There were letters of lien release that were previously sent out years ago (back in 2016) when this was settled.   Its possible you didnt notice them because they were from MSW Capital, LLC and not from ******* Law.   ******* Law was the law firm who you made the settlement agreement with. 

      I have attached a letter from MSW Capital, LLC that I just drafted today confirming the account is paid and lien is ok to be released.   Because it is an electronic lien and the lien is still showing Mariner Finance, they would need to assist in having that electronic lien release removed.    We will contact them to assist in releasing your lien but also, if youve spoken to Mariner Finance or have a local branch nearby it may be just as quick to show them the settled payment letter from MSW Capital, LLC so they can remove it as soon as possible.

      MSW Capital, LLC is a passive debt buyer meaning that we purchase debt which has been defaulted on due to non-payment and we do outsource the debt to our collection agencies and collection law firms to handle the debt with our customers.  

      We apologize in the delay it has taken to respond by us; however, due to the ongoing pandemic, we have had to make drastic cuts to personnel over the last year so certain processes are taking a little bit longer than normal.   I appreciate you contacting MSW/BBB so that we can help you resolve this matter.   

      We understand through one of our agencies (P&B Capital Group) that you have contacted them to resolve the account balance.    They have been in contact with us, and we have agreed to settle the account for less than the full balance and that have communicated that to you to hopefully expedite this issue.   Once the situation is resolved then we can work with Mariner Finance on removing the electronic lien they placed on the vehicle prior to MSW Capital purchasing the debt.     

      Our goal is always to try and assist every customer in resolving their accounts in accordance with the ***** and all other Federal and State laws and guidelines.  We appreciate you bringing this to the BBB and allowing MSW Capital, LLC a chance to review your case thoroughly and attempt resolution on your behalf.  




      Sincerely,



      MSW Capital, LLC
