    I was contacted by a text message. This is what the text message read. FINAL NOTICE OF DELIVERY FOR Teresa Jarvis. Reschedule delivery to your address. ###-###-#### order # ******. First off very first notice. When I called the number, the lady was extremely rude, pretended that she couldn’t hear me. I attempted to call back several times finally after several tries she answered she said that a letter was trying to be served to me that had to be signed for, but no one was answering to sign for the letter. I have been out of work since December 2023 still out of work. I am home all day long. If anyone would have attempted to serve a letter to be signed for I would have answered the door. This is rude they threaten to sue you they threaten to garnish your pay your taxes civil suit against you. I reached out to the original company and they will not accept calls either so I don’t know how any of this is supposed to be settled when no one answers calls I just want the text messages or when you call the company ugly harassing people on the other end of the line.

    Ms. ****** had attempted to reach our office today, during which we were experiencing technical difficulties. It was explained to Ms. ****** that the final notification was because of the fact that any and all other attempts to reach her both by mail and email were unresponsive. There was never any threats made to Ms. ****** at any point and given time during the duration of our call with her. We had stated exactly what the matter is for and that we would be able to assist her through various options to resolve her account within our office. It cannot be iterated that Ms. ****** had reached out to the original company when we sent her an email validating as whom the account was presently with, account information, and everything else to validate that we can assist. Along with all Mini Miranda's as per FDCPA were iterated as well to Ms. ****** so she knew specifically what it was pertaining. To where if she had reached out to our client directly, whom owns her account, then she would've spoken directly to them since we speak with them daily as well.

    This company contacted me threatening legal action due to an unpaid balance on an account they purchased from ********. When I tried to ask information about the account, they became combative and said that I was refusing to cooperate. I asked that they mail me information and he said he was putting me down as a a refusal to cooperate. Completely unprofessional, and ILLEGAL. They claimed they have been emailing me about collections. When I asked for something to be mailed, he declined and hung up on me. I L L E G A L

    Ms. ******* had contacted our office and we made her aware of the balance pertaining to her ******** account. During the duration of the conversation, it was iterated to Ms. ******* that all attempts to contact Ms. ******* by mail, email and phone were already made with there being no response. Ms. ******* had claimed she never received anything but verified all the information was still valid and that was how she received everything originally. There were never any threats of legal action made to Ms. *******. We also notified her that the letter pertaining to the account would be there within 7-10 business days. Ms. ******* became irate that once we had her on the phone, we told her it was important for us to discuss the matter by phone since she has never responded by alternative methods by both mail and email. Ms. ******* was put as a refusal status due to her unwillingness to discuss the matter without a letter. If Ms. ******* would still like to resolve the matter it would have to be by phone with there being no responses previously by mail or email.

    Scranton recovery group tried to charge my credit card 100 dollars when I never gave them my credit card information.

    Business Response

    Date: 04/06/2023

    Ms. ******'s statement is incorrect. Ms. ******'s credit card information was information she voluntarily provided for us to assist her in resolving an account within our office. As per our discussion with Ms. ******, there was an agreement and Ms. ****** was sent an email as well outlining the agreement that was voluntarily made within our office. She afterwards sent a letter to our office, stating that she no longer wanted to resolve the account. Shortly afterwards, the information was deleted and omitted and her file was removed from our office.

    Ms. ****** had contacted our office on 1/12/23 pertaining to her account on the same day that she filed this complaint. Ms. ****** was notified that there was still a remaining balance towards the account at that time and that she merely was dialing the incorrect number. The representative she had spoken with at that time also explained that there was a phone number that appears for each of her transactions that she would've been able to reach out to us for as well to contact us as an alternative means. Ms. ****** had then contacted our office on 3/31/23, iterating that she has a new card to put on file after 2 months of us speaking with her previously.
