The business addressed the issues within the complaint, but the consumer either a) did not accept the response, OR b) did not notify BBB as to their satisfaction.
I received a letter from AR RESOURCES, INC. dated September 26, 2023 demanding payment for their "client". The irony is that their "client" has admitted a serious billing mistake on their part. I am appalled by the absurd nature of the letter from AR RESOURCES, INC., and the underlying demand of payment where the fact is that there is NO PAYMENT DUE to their client by me/family. I have documentary evidence showing a ZERO balance and documented evidence from the "client" demonstrating a mistake on their part where I was wrongly billed. The said "client" has advised me that this has been rectified and AR RESOURCES, INC. should see precisely a ZERO BALANCE for the account in question. I would like to demand that AR RESOURCES, INC. stop any further collection efforts for this "alleged debt" as they have outlined in their letter immediately and demand a letter of explanation from their "client" about the billing mistake committed on their part. ARR account number: ******

I checked my credit report and notice it was flagged on July 23rd, 2023 they reported it as a collection unpaid debt, without first sending me a notice to respond. They are required by law to do this, They didn't allowed me to respond before they rushed to report a false debt onto my credit reports (*******, **********, ********). This is in violation of ***** 15 USC 1692g(a). I sent a debt Validation letter, but never received a response back from them. I also do not have a contract with AR Resources INC.. According to the ***** regulations, they failed to provide proof of a debt they are claiming that I owe. I explained I will be reporting this false debt and violations to the *****/FTC. They have not validated this debt. Therefore, this needs to be deleted from my credit reports (*******, **********, ********) immediately, and for them to never contact me again. I attached copies of some of the documents I sent out to AR Resources INC.

Complaint: ********

I am rejecting this response because: by law they should have taken the necessary steps before reporting this unvalidated debt to the credit bureaus. They reported it as a collection of unpaid debt, without first sending me a notice to respond. They are required by law to do this, They didn't allow me to respond before they rushed to report a debt onto my credit reports (*******, **********, ********). They didn't follow the law, 15 U.S. Code § 1692g - Validation of debts. As stated before a validation letter was sent out, but no response back from them. I also do not have a contract with AR Resources INC. They failed to provide proof of a debt before reporting an unvalidated debt to the credit bureaus. Effective November 30, 2021, an amendment to Regulation F, which implements the FDCPA, says that a debt collector can't report a debt to the three major credit reporting agencies, *******, ********, and **********, before first contacting the consumer. Therefore, this needs to be deleted from my credit reports (*******, **********, ********) immediately.

I apologize for late response I was in the hospital and just got home. I have provided 2 pictures showing how this company has reported multiple times the exact same thing. This is fraudulent as I have never entered into a contract with this company. They still have not provided me a copy of the original contract as requested. Im almost positive I have not received a copy of the original contract because there is no contract between AR Resources and myself. I demand this be removed from my credit report immediately.

Have attached screenshots of my credit report. Not only have I never entered into any agreement nor contract with them but they are reporting the exact same account 4 times and another account twice and then another account twice. So they are fraudulently reporting on my credit report. As well as I still have yet to receive a copy of the original contract with them. I demand this be removed from my credit report. It is fraudulent and does violate the consumer laws.
