      ******* is hounding me about a balance with **** for approximately $650. **** claimed I did not return my equipment for their internet/cable package. I returned ALL the equipment in 2016 before the end of our contract due to their over billing practices and refusal to issue credits for over-billing. After returning all of their equipment to them in the same condition it was received, they began attempting to collect replacement cost claiming I did not return it to them. I provided them with a copy of my receipt acknowledging I returned the equipment. They have continued to send me to collections ever since. For almost 7 full years they have kept this balance in collections and continued to harass me about this supposedly stolen equipment. They have ruined my credit, they call me several times a day, text me, and send me letters. I have explained over and over and over to multiple credit bureaus over the years that I returned the equipment. I want them to take it off my credit report, and I want them to stop harassing me. I do not owe them any money. They cut my service off when they still owed me 3 months worth of service because they kept over billing me and forcing me to pay, threatening me with collections. Then when I finally just gave up and sent the equipment back, they claimed I never returned it, and have continued to submit this debt to the credit bureaus over and over and over. They wont stop calling me about it. They stole from me and are continuing to try to steal more. ********** has had this collections account for the last 3 years and are just the latest agency to endlessly harass me about this fraudulent debt.

      Dear **********************,

      *******, LLC (MRS) received a copy of the complaint that the consumer, *****************************, submitted to the Better Business Bureau of New Jersey (BBB). We welcome the opportunity to assist with this matter.

      Recap of Complaint
      ***************************** asserts in the complaint that MRS has been hounding them for more than three (3) years about a balance with AT&T for approximately $650. The complainant asserts MRS ruined their credit, calls, and sends letters and text messages to them.  The phone number provided with the complaint ends in *****.

      The consumers desired resolution is no further contact by the business.

      Response
      MRS denies any suggestion that it violated collection laws in connection with the communications described in the complaint.

      The complaint is regarding an account that our client, AT&T, placed with MRS for collection. The account is not related to or for ******************************

      What we did when we received the complaint
      MRS initiated an investigation in order to address the concerns. Our investigation included a review of the account activity and the information provided with the complaint. 

      What we found
      MRS does not have any account in its office for ******************************  MRS is not aware of any account he may or may not have with AT&T.  MRS did not mail any letters to ***************************** and did not place anything on his credit profile.  

      Phone number ending ***** was provided to MRS as a viable contact number to reach a different AT&T customer. MRS attempted to contact the intended party via text message and phone calls. The attempts to contact this intended party were all within the last 10 months.  Any calls or text messages received by ***************************** more than 10 m months ago were not from MRS.   

      On February 3, 2023, MRS received a series of text messages from the phone number ending *****.  The first notice MRS received from the consumer.  However, there was nothing in the messages to identify that they were from ******************************  It was not until we received this BBB complaint that we learned that the phone number at issue was a wrong number to reach the intended party.  
       
      Actions we have taken or are taking
      MRS will not attempt to contact the intended party using the phone number ending *****.

      We trust this will satisfy ******************** desired resolution.

      From December 2022 to January 2023, I have received multiple texts from *******. I have struggled to verify the legitimacy of the claim that I owe $84 debt to Spectrum. They repeatedly ask for an MRS ******* Number that they do not initially provide making it difficult to receive more details of their debt claim. I also tried calling but I could only get in contact with an automated agent that provided no resolution to my concerns. I have contacted Spectrum about my former accounts and they have confirmed that I do not owe any money to the organization. I'm asking for the debt collection agency to either elaborate on the claim or to cease any more communications with me regarding the matter with Spectrum.

      Dear **********************,

      *******, LLC (MRS) received a copy of the complaint that ******************************* submitted to the Better Business Bureau of New Jersey (BBB). We welcome the opportunity to assist with this matter.

      Recap of Complaint
      ******************************* indicates in the complaint that they received multiple texts from MRS regarding a debt allegedly owed to Spectrum.  ******************************* asserts they repeatedly asked for an MRS account number.  ******************************* asserts they tried calling but could only get in contact with an automated agent that provided no resolution to their concerns.  

      ******************************* indicated they contacted Spectrum and confirmed they do not owe Spectrum.  

      The desired resolution is that MRS elaborate on its claim, or cease communication with them regarding the matter with Spectrum.  

      Response
      MRS denies any suggestion that it violated collection laws in connection with the communications described in the complaint.

      MRS denies any suggestion that ******************************* repeatedly asked for an account number.

      MRS denies any suggestion that its automated agent provided no opportunity for resolution of any concerns.  

      What we did when we received the complaint
      MRS initiated a thorough investigation in order to address the concerns. Our investigation included a thorough review of the account activity, recorded calls, and the information provided with the complaint.  

      What we found
      On November 17, 2022, our client placed an account with our office for collection. MRS was provided with phone number ************** as a viable contact number to reach the intended party.  MRS attempted to contact the intended party via text message and phone calls.

      MRS did not receive a response to any of the text messages, such as a request to STOP (the opt out is included in the message). 

      On January 12, 2023, MRS received a call from the phone number on the complaint.  The caller verified their name ********************************  The caller did not express any concerns or ask for any assistance.  Had the caller expressed any concerns, or asked to speak with a representative, the call would have been immediately transferred to a live representative who would have been able to assist.

      Recap of Complaint

      MRS initiated an investigation in order to address the concerns. Our investigation included a thorough review of the account activity, recorded calls, and the information provided with the complaint.

      What we found
      On September 27, 2022, our client placed an account with our office for collection. MRS sent a letter containing notice of the placement of the account with MRS and information related to the right to dispute the debt or request additional information about the debt in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. This letter was mailed to the same address as the consumer provided with this complaint.  

      On October 25, 2022, MRS called the phone number ending ****, in an attempt to reach the intended party.  The representative asked for the intended party by name.  The individual who answered the call would not identify themself, and asked if we are a debt collector.  The representative did not confirm or deny, stating we would need to know who we are speaking with.  The individual told the representative not to call again.  

      Shortly after the above call, an un********** person called MRS and spoke with another representative.  The caller would not identify themself. The representative explained that we handle sensitive information and must know who we are talking with.  The caller terminated the call without identifying themself.  

      The representatives were not hostile as described in the complaint.  MRS has a ****** that requires verification of certain pieces of information before disclosing any details, to maintain confidentiality of personal and financial information protected by various federal and state laws.  MRS ****** is that we cannot conduct a conversation about an account without verification.  This can lead to frustrating interactions when a caller does not verify their identity.  We do this to protect confidentiality and customer information.   

      Actions we have taken or will take
      Per the consumers request, MRS will cease efforts to contact the consumer regarding the subject account. The account has been returned to the current creditor.

      MRS apologizes to the consumer for any misunderstanding or inconvenience.  

      Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation.  If you or the consumer have any additional questions or concerns regarding our investigation, you can contact MRS directly. Our contact information is below.

      Sincerely,
      MRS BPO, L.L.C.

My regular ******* Wireless bills were around $70 a month, all of which has been paid however they're now stating I owe "over $500 in fee's" but can't explain what those fee's are and why they were imposed on me.
