      Since December 2023, I have received notices from Aargon Agency about a debt owed to ********************* Services. I confirmed with my insurance that all payments were made directly to the lab. On May 28, 2024, I called Aargon Agency to verify this and update my mailing address. They failed to update the information, and I still have an outstanding balance. The documents they sent to validate the debt all show a $0.00 Amount Due, which is why I am confused about the outstanding balance.

      The above referenced account was placed with office by our client, ***************************** on May 11, 2024 as the result of the consumers contract default and outstanding balance from a service provided December 29, 2023.

      Notice of the debt was provided to the consumer in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act on May 16, 2024.  Information regarding this account has not been furnished to a credit reporting agency.

      Our agency already provided the itemized statement from our client on May 29, 2024, and the consumer received it. By adding all of the items on the itemized statement that show Adj: ********************* on 05/11/24 on the statement and the additional $10.00 fee for being referred to collections that is explained in the final paragraph of the last page, it amounts to $34.45,which was what was assigned to us. I took off the interest that had accrued. The $0.00 balance shows that they zeroed out their books when sending to collections,as an accounting method when in A/R status. Our agency does not own the debt and collects on behalf of our client who we have a signed business agreement with. Our client did not show that this was paid. In the interest of consumer protection, we have closed and returned the account to our client and the consumer may contact them directly to pay if they so choose.

      Our office has reviewed the account regarding consumer,***************************. Below are our findings regarding the above-referenced complaint filed with your office in which the consumer disputed the debt, stated they hadnt received previously requested verification, and requested deletion.

      The above referenced account was placed with our office by our client, Las Vegas Athletic Clubs, on April 6, 2021 as the result of the consumers contract default and outstanding balance from a service provided August 15, 2019 through November 15, 2021. The final payment our client received was on November 1, 2019.

      Notice of the debt was provided to the consumer in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act on April 8, 2021.  Information regarding this account was furnished to a credit reporting agency on June 5, 2021 in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act as a result of no response.

      Our agency had previously marked the account as disputed upon receipt of an eOscar dispute via the credit bureaus on June 11, 2021. Upon additional eOscar disputes, we requested additional information from our client to send directly to the consumer. We sent the statutorily required verification,plus a copy of the signed contract between the consumer and our client, directly to the consumer on August 5, 2021. We collect on behalf of our clients who we have signed business/service agreements with and do not own the accounts. The consumer may pay our client directly if they choose. We will resend the verification, as a courtesy, per this dispute. The statute of limitations is six years in ****** with a contract, and this debt is within that time.

      Complaint: 21718152

      I am rejecting this response because

      I respectfully request the removal of this collection from my credit file for the following reasons:

      1. Dispute and Verification Requests
         While I acknowledge that a notice of debt was sent on April 8, 2021, and information was furnished to the credit reporting agency on June 5, 2021, it is important to note that I had promptly disputed the debt. Despite this, I did not receive the required verification at all and it was not sent in in a timely manner according to the date in your response. The initial verification was sent until August 5, 2021, which was well after the debt had been reported to the credit bureaus. This delay has caused significant damage to my credit score and financial well being. I am not sure what address the verification was addressed or sent to as well. 

      2. Statutory Requirements and Consumer Rights
         I understand that the statute of limitations for this debt is six years in ******. However, my primary concern is the process and the timeliness of the verification provided. As per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), verification should have been provided promptly after my initial dispute. The delay in verification is a clear oversight that should be rectified by removing the negative entry from my credit report.

      3. Impact on Financial Health
         The presence of this collection on my credit report has severely impacted my creditworthiness, affecting my ability to secure loans, housing, and even employment. Given that I have always been a responsible consumer and am eager to settle this matter, I kindly request your understanding and cooperation in removing this negative **** from my credit report.

      In light of the above points, I respectfully request that your office remove this collection from all credit reporting agencies. This gesture of goodwill will be greatly appreciated and will demonstrate your agency's commitment to fair consumer practices.

      Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your positive response and to resolving this matter promptly.

      Sincerely,

Disputing through the credit bureaus does not trigger our statutory responsibility to provide written verification. We have a responsibility to our client to attempt to collect the account on their behalf and absent any violations on our part,we will continue to attempt to collect said account and report the account as disputed at this time.

      As you can see from the screenshot provided, the account was not deleted and I certainly did not open ANY account in 2023. Please provide proof of deletion.

      Sincerely,

      Previous Response on April 23, 2024: Our office has reviewed the account regarding consumer, *****************. Below are our findings regarding the above-referenced complaint filed with your office in which the consumer disputed and requested verification or deletion. Notice of the debt was provided to the consumer in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act on January 12, 2023.  Due to the length of time our agency had the account without payment, we closed and returned the account to our client. The deletion request was sent to the credit bureaus. The consumers request for deletion was granted. Based on the information available at this time, I have concluded my initial investigation and as a result did not find any State or Federal violations.

      Current Response: The consumer is stating that a reporting app as of April 6, 2024, showed the account opened January 9, 2023 (which is when the account was assigned to us) and that the account wasnt deleted yet. The previous response was given on August 23, 2024 and a manual request was sent to the credit bureaus that day. I will provide the consumer with a deletion letter if she needs it before the app updates. We do not have control over the credit bureaus or apps updating their records.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.
      It appears that the account has been removed from my credit report.

      On Thursday 11 April 2024 I received an alert email from Experian credit monitoring service that Aargon Agency *** placed a derogatory account on my credit. I first thought it was a scam but tried to call on Saturday 13 April, as they were closed I called on Monday 15 April and spoke to a representative. This was the first time I learned that Aargon was trying to collect around $1200 related to a medical bill that was in dispute, and that I did not even know went to collections, as the provider hadn't answered my written communications to them. When I asked Aargon if it is standard practice to place sth on a person's credit report without First trying to collect the debt (writing a letter asking for payment); I was told that this was not standard practice, but while the charge was referred to them on 18 Dec 2023, they didnt have my 'new' address, which they only received on 17 March 2024 and thus had not send a letter to me. I am at the same address for the last 5 years, moreover even if they only had my address on 17 March, why not send a letter then? Why report sth to a credit agency before writing a letter, sending the bill? It is outrageous to damage someone's credit (my credit has been clean up to now) over a debt you DID NOT even attempt to collect. I did pay the bill on the spot and was told that a letter will be sent to me. But as far as the credit report, while Aargon said they will taking the report down, they do not know when, if credit reporting agency will delete this.Aargon should review their standard practices, and delete anything from my credit.
