    I have made a couple complaints prior that keep getting closed for "templated language". This company has wrongfully put a collections on my report from a company called 27TwentySeven. I am not liable for this debt and need help getting this resolved. I requested the original contract and proof of this debt and they have not sent me anything. I do not have a contract with this company and need the collections removed from my report.

    Phoenix Recovery Group has reported the negative information on my credit file without my consent. I have never signed any application permitting this agency to report such information. , I will be seeking legal actions if this issue is not rectified under federal laws and removed. I have contacted **************** to assist me with this matter. My consumer rights have been tarnished and violated.

    I was notified by my credit karma about the debt on my account and was confused and reached out to the agency who was holding the collection, I was met with nothing but rude answers and no answers as they claimed they had no information on my account in NOV. This month I received an email with more info on where the debt was coming from. I called them and received nothing but shouting over the phone the second I started asking for more information behind the debt; invoices, proof that the company tried contacting me to give me time to pay, proof of my account and/or contract that I had no legally signed to them. They would provide me with nothing other than transfers to the supervisor claiming I was being argumentative when really i was trying to explain the situation and was not being heard, I was told to shut up. I was also told that the company didnt and was not obligated to send me an invoice or opportunity to pay, however thats what the company stated per the email I received was from the creditor. It stated that the debt was being held in collections because the company could not reach me, although they had my number and email. I had messaged with them many times. All in all I received. O solution just screaming over the phone by a man name ******* and another associate who would just talk over me. Below I will provide the email I received to contact the collector. As well as proof that the company who sent it to collections had my email to at the very least be able to email me a final balance or statement or opportunity to pay or settle some type of resolution before sending to collections.

As the consumer has requested, we have provided a copy of the signed lease agreement and ask the consumer to refer to section 23.5-Other Remedies which outlines the original creditors intentions to seek recovery of unpaid amounts. We have also included a copy of the final statement listing all the amounts for unpaid rent, damages, and eviction costs. We encourage the consumer to contact our office directly to work to resolve the issue. To protect the consumers privacy, we will not provide any additional details on this public platform, thank you.

    This is an incorrectly placed complaint assigned to Phoenix Recovery Group for resolution. Our company does not recover vehicles, nor recover any other assets. Please review and assign to the correct collection agency.

    I have countless times asked this company to sent me debt validation of this account that reporting on my credit report I have send multiple disputes to the credit bureau. To have this removed. Please help get this resolved immediately.

    Business Response

    Date: 10/14/2024

    Our company has completed our investigation and validated, with the original creditor, ***** ***** Properties (******************), that the debt is accurate. This is a duplicate request for validation which we have previously sent to the consumers physical address listed in our system of record. In response to this and previous complaints, our company has attached validation via this portal listing the signed lease, previous balance, and other fees as validation. We are a collection agency, collecting on behalf of the original creditor and did not purchase the debt. We continue to encourage the consumer to contact our office directly to work to resolve the issue. To protect the consumers privacy, we will not provide any additional details on this public platform, thank you.

If you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at the above-listed phone number or email address.
