RE: Complaint of ****** *****
Complaint No. ********
Greetings:
Our company is in receipt of and has reviewed, the complaint submitted by ****** ***** and received by our company on April 23, 2025. Spire Recovery Solutions (“Spire”) is a third-party consumer debt collection company that collects on defaulted consumer accounts that have been placed by our clients.Spire does not own the accounts we collect on, nor do we engage in credit reporting activities with respect to the accounts that are placed with us for collection.
We were attempting to locate an individual to speak with them concerning an account that was placed with our company for collections. As such, we were engaging in obtaining location information for this individual when we contacted Mr. ***** on April 22, 2025. This was the only call Spire placed to Mr. *****. Mr. ***** then called into our company on April 22, 2025 and stated that we had an incorrect number and the individual could not be located through him. At that time, we removed Mr. *****’s contact information from the account to ensure that he is no longer contacted concerning this matter.
We would note that this account was only placed with our office in the beginning of February and we just commenced making phone calls on this account in mid-April. Mr. ***** in his complaint threatens showing up to our Ohio office to handle this matter in person. We would point out that Spire does not have offices in Ohio and Mr. ***** may have us mistaken with a different collection agency that may have been contacting him concerning an unrelated matter.
Nonetheless, we have removed Mr. *****’s phone number from the consumer’s account and he will not receive any further phone calls from our company with respect to this matter.
It is the position of our company that our call to Mr. ***** was proper and not in violation of any collection laws.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.This same company has called last year several times. I will file the complaint with the FTC and the Attorney General.
Calling me over and over ends. You removed my contact information until your next call. I am not responsible for anyone's debit but mine and I will not tolerate collection calls from no one.

This company is trying to scam me. They are fraudulently claiming I owe $2750. I do not owe this company anything. They keep calling and texting. They refuse to tell me why they are calling unless o provide full name birthday and social security number. They refuse to honor my demand to have all original agreements and past due bills to be mailed to me. But they refuse to mail me anything. They refuse to stop contacting me, even going so far as to harass my family. If they do not cease and desist all communication to me or my family, I will seek legal counsel for violation of the FRCA!Business Response

Spire Recovery Solutions (“Spire”) is a third-party consumer debt collection company that collects on defaulted consumer accounts that have been placed by our clients. Spire does not own the accounts we collect on, nor do we engage in credit reporting activities with respect to the accounts that are placed with us for collection. Our client, ******** LLC, placed Mr. *****’s charged off ********* ******* account with our company for collections on February 21, 2025. On January 30, 2025 our company emailed Mr. ***** the Model Validation Notice “MVN” advising him that this account was placed with our company for collections along with providing him with information as to how he can contact our company to discuss this matter. The MVN was mailed to *****[email protected] which is the same email address Mr. ***** provided as part of his complaint. On February 26, March 6, March 14, March 24 April 1 and April 9 our company sent Mr. ***** follow up emails requesting that he contacts our company concerning this matter. These mail and email attempts were not responded to by Mr. *****. As we were unsuccessful in contacting Mr. ***** via mail and email, we began making calls on this account on April 16, 2025. As we did not have a verified correct phone number for Mr. ***** at the time, we commenced making calls on this account, we engaged in lawfully permissible skip tracing activities in order to locate a good contact number for Mr. *****. We would point out that all calls made on this account were done in full compliance with Regulation F. Additionally during these calls we never disclosed to any third party why we were attempting to locate and speak with Mr. *****. On April 16 and April 18, we received incoming calls from an individual we now know to be Mr. *****. At the time of these calls, we were unaware who we were speaking with as Mr. ***** refused to complete our verification process to ensure that we were speaking with and disclosing information to the correct party. As Mr. ***** was unwilling to complete the verification process we were unable to confirm we were speaking with the correct party and, as such, we were unable to assist him during these calls. As Mr. ***** has some confusion as to what this account concerns, we have attached copies of the underlying account documents for his review.It is the position of our company that all collection activities were conducted in lawful and compliant manner. Nonetheless, pursuant to Mr. *****’s request, we have placed his account into a cease and desist status to ensure that no further collection efforts are made by our company with respect to his account.Initial Complaint

Spire Recovery Solutions is harassing my family by doing skip tracking to locate my family members. They say they have personal business with me. I do not have an account or personal business with them as I did not do business prior to this with them. They texted and said my name and DOB and quoted Federal disclosure laws I needed to follow. Upon looking these laws up it references government entities. They have never mailed me a notice no MVN was sent to me. I want them to send me the original contract with them I signed or original contract with the company claiming I owe money to them. Furthermore I want them to cease and desist skip tracking and contacting and current or former employees and family members. I also want them to cease and desist any claims it is personal business as I have none with them no personal or business relationship l. Furthermore I request all contact be done via US mail only. If not I will take further action for illegal debit collections. I tried logging into the account see photos for errors I got.Business Response

***** *******' with Spire Recovery Solutions has been constantly harassing me about some random "debt" that I apparently owe. Which is news to me since I literally have no debt. Also, judging by the reviews left here, this "company" has been providing a nearly identical response to every complaint, AND it's painfully obvious their responses are scripted with supposedly specific dates of attempted contact. For anyone else reading this comment, I encourage you to adjust your phone setting so it ignores anyone calling you that is not on your contact list. That way you don't waste your precious life moments with the likes of this scammer.Business Response

This company who I've never done business with or have a contract with keep calling multiple times a day and calling family members. They used a spoof website to contact from a number that is a dcf phone number. I called dcf and they reported they didn't call me. They are calling before 9am which I do not appreciate either. I work day time hours and don't want people harassing my family or myself. They personally have no debt with me and need to leave me and my family alone.

Spire Recovery Solutions (“Spire”) is a third-party consumer debt collection company that collects on defaulted consumer accounts that have been placed by our clients. Spire does not own the accounts we collect on, nor do we engage in any credit reporting activities.
Ms. ****** had a charged-off RBT **** ** ********* account placed with our company for collections by the current creditor, ***** ******** LLC on February 7, 2025.
On February 14, 2025 our company emailed Ms. ****** the required Model Validation Notice “MVN” advising her that this account was placed with our company for collections. The email was sent to Ms. ****** at *************[email protected], which is the same email address Ms. ****** provided as part of her complaint. Follow-up emails were also sent to Ms. ****** on February 17, February 26, March 6, March 14, March 24 and April 1.
As we received no response from Ms. ****** in our attempts to contact her electronically, we commenced skip tracing activities on April 2, 2025 in an attempt to locate a good contact number in which to speak with Ms. ******. All skip tracing calls were made in a frequency to ensure compliance with all laws governing the collection of debt, including Regulation F. Additionally, during these skip tracing calls, we never disclosed to any third party why we were seeking to speak with Ms. ******. The only day our company made phone calls on Ms. ******’s account was on April 2, 2025.
Additionally, our company never represented itself as child protection services in Kansas. When we place phone calls, our name on the caller ID shows up as our DBA of “SRS” so not to disclose the nature of our business to third parties. Apparently, SRS in the State of Kansas is an acronym for their social services agency. Our DBA of “SRS” is used throughout the country and was not done to deceive Ms. ******. We apologize for any confusion caused by this.
Based on the request contained in Ms. ******’s complaint, we have placed her account into a “cease and desist” status to ensure that no further attempts to contact her are made by our company. We have also made our client aware of Ms. ******’s complaint.
It is the position of our company that all collection activities have been performed in a lawful and compliant manner.

Upon receipt of this complaint, we were able to verify that this was Ms. ****** as the telephone number that contacted us was the same telephone number that she provided in her complaint.
On the day after we received this phone call from Ms. ******, who refused to verify we had the correct party, we received this complaint from your agency. We would have been more than happy to assist Ms. ****** when she called into our company on March 17, 2025 if she just would have completed our required verification process. Ms. ******’s complaint is nothing more than a cease and desist request and no actual allegations of misconduct or wrongdoing by our company.
As this complaint contains no allegations of misconduct or wrongdoing by our company, we would request that this “complaint” is not published by your agency.

This Spire recovery solutions keeps contacting me about a debt of my partner that we aren't even sure is actually their's. This is my personal phone so it feels like harassment as I have nothing to do with it. They call nearly every day more than once and fill up my voicemail inbox fast with their lengthy messages and they do not even tell you it is for a debt. You would have to talk to them to know (I only know because I googled and saw all the complaints similar to my own).Business Response

Greetings:Our company is in receipt of and has reviewed, the complaint submitted by ***** ********** and forwarded to our company on January 29, 2025. Spire Recovery Solutions (“Spire”) is a third-party consumer debt collection company that collects on defaulted consumer accounts that have been placed by our clients.Spire does not own the accounts we collect on, nor do we engage in credit reporting activities with respect to the accounts that are placed with us for collection. We were engaging in skip tracing activities attempting to locate an individual to speak with them concerning an account that was placed with our company for collections. We only contacted Ms. **********’s phone number four times January 15, January 21, January 23 and January 28 on in the belief that the consumer we were attempting to located and speak with could be reached at that number. In lieu of filing this complaint, Ms. ********** could have simply contacted our company and advised that she was not the consumer and that the consumer could not be reached via her telephone number. We would then have immediately removed Ms. **********’s telephone number from the account. Nonetheless, based on Ms. **********’s complaint and requested relief, we have removed her phone number from the consumer’s account and documented the account to reflect that Ms. **********’s phone number is not a good contact number for the consumer. Ms. ********** will not receive any further phone calls from our company with respect to this matter. We apologize to Ms. ********** for any inconvenience caused in this matter. That being said, it is the position of our company that our calls were justified and not in violation of any collection laws. SPIRE RECOVERY SOLUTIONS
