NOTICE From : DATE:XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX SOC SEC # XXXX DOB XX/XX/XXXX ADDRESS XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX Hereinafter collectively referred to as Claimant To : ABILITY RECOVERY SYSTEMS Hereinafter collectively referred to as RESPONDENT, you, your company RE : Alleged account that is not mine XX/XX/XXXX NOTICE OF DISPUTE ; DEMAND FOR VALIDATION AND PROOF OF CLAIM To Whom it May Concern I RECENTLY PULLED MY CREDIT FILE AND SEEN THAT THIS ACCOUNT DOES NOT BELONG TO ME. Be advised that your claim is disputed and validation and proof of claim of the disputed debt is requested in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692 and as amended by adding the following new Title 8 USC 802 et seq., and the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC. 1666 et seq. All of which work in conjunction with each other, including the Truth In Lending Act ( TILA ) 15 USC 1601 et seq. It is not now, nor has it ever been, my intention to avoid paying any obligation that is lawfully owed by the Claimant. In order to make arrangements to pay an obligation which may be lawfully owed, please document and verify the debt by complying, in good faith, with this request for validation and return it to me, within thirty ( 30 ) days of receipt of this letter.

This is NOT a request for verification or proof of Claimant mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION and PROOF OF CLAIM made pursuant to the above named Titles and Sections. I respectfully request that your offices provide Claimant with competent evidence as per the attached Declaration and Proof of Claim that I have any legal obligation to pay you the unsubstantiated alleged debt. Furthermore you shall cease all verbal communication. No phone calls to the Claimant.

At this time I will also inform you that if your offices have reported invalidated information to any of the 3 major Credit Bureaus, such as, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX prior to validation and proof of claim of the disputed debt, this action might constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws. Due to this fact ; if any negative mark is found on any of Claimant credit reports by your company or the company that you represent I will not hesitate in bringing legal action against you and your client for the following : Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Defamation of Character Violation of United States Code TITLE 18 PART 1 CHAPTER 63 1341 ( Mail Fraud ) This debt is considered to be invalid until I receive proper validation and your offices provide Claimant with proof of claim of the disputed debt. Your offices have 30 days to produce the required documentation in accordance with FTC guidelines. During this validation period and proof of claim, if any action is taken which could be considered detrimental to any of Claimant credit reports, said action will be considered a dishonor and cause the self-executing contract portion of this notice to be implemented. This includes any listing any information to a credit reporting repository that could be inaccurate or invalidated.

If your offices fail to respond to this validation and proof of claim request within 30 days from the date of your receipt, all references to this account must be deleted and completely removed from Claimant credit file and a copy of such deletion request shall be sent to Claimant immediately.

Title 8 USC 809. Validation of debts [ 15 USC 1692g ] ( b ) If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period described in subsection ( a ) that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or any copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector. XXXX LAW DICTIONARY : VERIFICATION. Confirmation of correctness, truth, or authenticity, by affidavit, oath, or deposition.

Voluntarily compensate Claimant for ALL costs and attorneys/consultant fees ; and, 4. Resolve ALL claims by Claimant, against Respondent, et al, exclusively and finally through binding arbitration, if necessary, to enforce the above terms, conditions, fees, penalties and damages. Arbitration replaces the right to go to court except to confirm an arbitration award. The arbitration organization that is selected will apply its code or procedure in effect at the time the arbitration is filed, subject to this agreement. The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitrators authority is limited solely to the Claims between Claimant and Respondent alone. The arbitration will not be consolidated with any other arbitration proceeding. If Claimant prevails in the arbitration of any Claim against Respondent, Respondent will reimburse Claimant for any fees Claimant paid to the arbitration organization in connection with the arbitration. Any decision rendered in such arbitration proceedings will be final and binding on the parties, and judgment may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction. This arbitration provision applies to all Claims now in existence or that may arise in the future. The arbitration provision shall survive any voluntary payment of Claimants claim against Respondent, in full, or any bankruptcy by Respondent.

This is a private communication and is intended to affect an out-of-court settlement of this matter. Conduct yourself accordingly. Should any provision on this agreement be found to not be enforceable by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall not adversely affect any other provision of this agreement and reasonable opportunity and effort shall be taken to modify it to become enforceable.

XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TX & XXXX Dispute results report # XXXX for XX/XX/XXXX ARS Account Resolution Services XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX Ability Recovery Service XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX Tax ID : XXXX Patient account # XXXX I reviewed XXXX response to my dispute in which XXXX determined my dispute was not sufficient to make any changes or deletions I requested. I want to ask XXXX what exactly was insufficient about my dispute when I asked the collection agency for additional details validating the alleged debt of {$910.00} for XXXX XXXX, a level 3 emergency room code for a bruise on my leg that did not get treatment of any kind. ARS Account Resolution has not written to me to properly validate this debt. They have not responded to the second letter I sent them via certified mail ( first letter and second letter both signed by XXXX XXXX ) asking them to provide additional details to validate this debt that claims I received level-3 emergency treatment by the provider XXXX XXXX XXXX. I believe the reason Ability Recovery Service or ARS Account Resolution are unable to validate this debt precisely because the creditor can not justify the level-3 CPT code used ( XXXX ). The provider can not substantiate having administered treatment at that CPT code level ( level-3 ). The amount billed goes together with the level-3 code requiring the provider to use level-3 criteria ( moderate complexity ) in treating what was simply a bruise. The code equals the cost of treatment. I was not treated for anything. The doctor did not even touch me and hardly spent more than 5 minutes looking at it and said I would be fine. For these reasons, I believe this provider and creditor has inflated this bill by using diagnosis billing codes that indicate the patient experienced medical complications and/or needed more expensive treatment, for example, billing for when only simple services or even only an evaluation was performed. Listing treatment as having been for a more complicated medical diagnosis than was actually the case or billing for brand-named drugs when generic drugs were provided or no drugs were provided is fraud. I did not receive level-3 emergency treatment as evidenced by use of the CPT code XXXX, a code used for patients with problems of moderate severity. If I had a problem of moderate severity, there should also be a corresponding hospital code/bill. More serious codes demand higher payments. In my letter to XXXX/Ability Recovery Service, I asked the creditor to provide additional documentation of the alleged services I received under the level 3 CPT code XXXX. The reason they have not provided this information is because they can not. If this bill is valid, then I ask, what exactly was I treated for at a level-3? Therefore, why am I to pay for level 3 emergency evaluation and management I never received? What protects people who have no insurance from such exploitation? The provider must understand that individuals have little or no recourse. Insurance companies would challenge a bill without supporting medical documentation. I am asking for transparency in this matter from the provider and collection agency otherwise I will be stuck paying a debt that is not valid. This is a type of fraud called " upcoding '' which is billing for a higher level of care than was provided. Upcoding is illegal. It is a way of cheating the system. Intentional upcoding violates the False Claims Act. As a patient, I expect that when a provider bills me, the provider certifies that every code billed is supported by medical record documentation - which is impossible if the provider has upcoded - which is my suspicion in this case. I wonder how this bill compares with similar bills covered by insurance companies. I believe this provider ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) has overcharged the patient ( {$910.00} XXXX XXXX eval and management - lvl 3 ) for " evaluation, management '' and treatment that were never given or consented to during the ER visit. Level-3 equals a problem of moderate medical complexity. A minor injury- a bruise - is being reported as a level-3 condition making it a more serious condition for the provider to treat and thus, the provider charges higher fees. A review of the information from the provider will examine the services rendered by both the provider and hospital to ascertain the said services were indeed at a level 3 category for the provider to have used the correct procedure code, XXXX which is the code used in this case. This is a predatory form of fraud exploiting those of us who do not carry health insurance. A insurance company would scrutinize the bill and would not accept such vague coding for nearly {$1000.00} without supporting documentation and doctors notes to back up the medical necessity of treatment provided. By law a patient is obligated to pay the rate of the emergency room charges for services if : 1. the patient consented ( by signature ) to receive the services ; and 2. the patient actually received said services ( I never got any treatment ) It is my understanding from research that a patient is not legally obligated to pay for any emergency room services that they did not actually receive or consent to. If the patient was overcharged during the emergency room visit, what recourse does the patient have? The provider, in this case, is taking full advantage of the fact that I likely can not perform the same billing scrutiny as an insurance company. Is the {$910.00} charged comparable to how the provider would bill an insurance company for the services/treatment rendered? How would the provider justify the use of the XXXX CPT code if I was XXXX or XXXX? This is why the only way an individual can find overcharges is to : 1. Request an itemized statement of the bill to see if the charges correspond to the treatment ( if any ), given ; 2. Establish whether signature consent for said procedures or treatment was given by the patient ; 3. Have my personal doctor review the billing statements/doctors notes, 4. Ask for the hospital to audit the providing doctors statements ; ( why is there no corresponding hospital/facility bill for the same? ) ; 5. Determine if treatment/procedure was medically necessary ; 6. Ask the provider/hospital billing department for adjustments for anything the patient did not consent to via signature ; 7. Have a patient advocate negotiate with the hospital/provider over inaccuracies. Question : Should I be denied a detailed explanation of charges simply because I am not a big and powerful insurance company? If XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX would fail to overcharge an insurance provider, why should they succeed in overcharging an individual? It is an abuse of power. The principle of billing and applying medical billing codes accurately should be equivalent to how much insurance companies pay for the same treatment/care. XXXX has advised me to either file a complaint against XXXX or the debt collector or the provider with the Consumer FinancialProtection Bureau which is the purpose of this complaint. I have requested that XXXX re-evaluate the validity of this bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX a bill now pursued by ARS/Ability Recovery Services debt collection agencies. I stand by the fact that if I was a patient in an emergency room, I should only be charged for treatment I actually received. I believe I have been charged for treatment that was never rendered to me. My treatment records could be mixed up with another patient who was a level-3 patient or are the result of clerical error or provider fraud ( upcoding ). Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Subject to Subsection ( f ), if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a consumers file at a consumer agency is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a reseller, of such dispute, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the item from the file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer or reseller. Therefore, my position is being clearly stated, these accounts do not belong to me, meaning that you are reporting inaccurate account information within my credit file. The fact that these are inaccurate account information means that you, this credit-reporting agency, are reporting incorrect accounts. Finally, you are reporting the INQUIRIES that are the result of the same type of fraudulent activities. It must be noted that I did not apply for credit accounts with the below-listed companies and creditors, some of these are the result of attempts to open accounts, but the companies did not approve the accounts. Therefore, these inquiries must be deleted from within my credit file. You can not delete the fraudulently opened accounts without also deleting the fraudulent inquiries. It should be noted that an inquiry that was not made by me is not a factual record, just as a fraudulently opened account is not a factual record and not referred to the creditor to be disputed directly with them. The credit reporting agencies have attempted to address an inquiry as a factual record of file access, but if it was done through fraudulent means, it is not a factual record. As a consumer, I should not be required to dispute each fraudulent inquiry directly with each company. These inquiries are the result of fraudulent activity and therefore, inaccurate in which the credit reporting agencies or the creditors can not verify, meaning that these inquiries are unverifiable information and must be deleted from my credit files. 1. XXXX XXXX XXXX bal. {$950.00} I am well aware of my rights as a consumer. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that you, the credit-reporting agency report accurate and/or correct account information within my credit file. My credit issues are very specific, these accounts and/or items do not belong to me. This means that you are reporting incorrect account information within my credit report. It is this in mind that I request that these listed accounts and items be Blocked and Deleted. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act FCRA, Section 1681c ( 2 ) Block of information resulting from identity theft. 1.Block. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a consumer reporting shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than four ( 4 ) business days after the date receipt by such agency of 1. Appropriate proof of identity of the consumer ; 2. A copy of an identity theft report 3. The identification of such information by the consumer ; and 4. A statement by the consumer that the information relating to the transaction by the consumer. I have provided all of the above listed four ( 4 ) items within this package. Therefore, I expect these listed accounts to be deleted and blocked within ( 4 ) business days. This is clearly an identity theft issue. I am also entitled to receive a free copy of my credit report, so I am requesting a free credit report and that all of these accounts, public records items, and inquiries be permanently blocked and deleted.

I received an email from my credit monitoring service that informed me that my credit profile was adversely impacted. I found that ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICE had illegally posted alleged medical collection accounts to my credit report. I have never started nor an opened account with this company. My report shows that ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICE open account was opened on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX with a balance of {$2000.00}, {$1500.00}, and {$1700.00}. By federal law, a debt collector is supposed to make contact with an alleged debtor and give them 30 days to validate or dispute before they move forward with collection attempts. I never received a letter in the mail that gave me 30 days to validate or dispute these accounts. I never received a letter stating that I have an alleged debt with this company and owe a balance on an account. I, a consumer defined under 15 USC 1692a ( 3 ), understand that, under the FDCPA guidelines for collection agencies, they have to provide ( 1 ) legitimate proof that they are the original holder of this debt and can legally hold me responsible for paying this debt and ( 2 ) contractual proof of obligation or an assignment SIGNED from an officer from the original creditors corporation that I am supposed to pay them. 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ) of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) grants me the right as a consumer to request validation of this alleged debt they say I owe. I fully understand 1692g. Validation of debts ( a ) Notice of debt ; that states within five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing ( 1 ) the amount of the debt ; ( 2 ) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed ; ( 3 ) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector ; ( 4 ) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector ; and ( 5 ) a statement that, upon the consumer 's written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor. ( b ) Disputed debts - If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period described in subsection ( a ) of this section that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector. ( c ) Admission of liability - The failure of a consumer to dispute the validity of a debt under this section may not be construed by any court as an admission of liability by the consumer. I never received a notice of right to dispute nor did I receive any information to verify that the alleged debt with this company belonged to me. If I would have gotten anything in the mail from this company before they illegally reported to my credit report, I would have respectfully requested evidence that I am the person they are asking to pay this debt and a contractual obligation that legally binds me to pay them this debt. Upon them receiving my validation letter by certified mail with return receipt, they would have to legally cease from collection calls, letters, and efforts and delete the account from my credit reports until they can validate this debt. But again, I never received such a letter about this account ever in the mail because it was never sent. In order for them to prove that I received it properly, the proper letter should have been mailed certified mail with return receipt or by some form of proof of tracking that would require my signature. And if the company did mail anything to me, where is the legal proof of tracking or my signature stating that I received it? Where is the return receipt or postage signature showing that I received it and signed for it? But again, I never received any sort of mail or package. They have illegally posted and reported to my credit file without adhering to the FDCPA laws. Im not sure if this company is a scam, but I know that this company has broken FCRA, FDCPA, and HIPPAA ( Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ) laws by reporting an alleged account to my credit report without informing me through mail and I did not receive notice of right to dispute nor did I receive any information to verify that the alleged debt belonged to me. My credit has dropped tremendously. Please help me get these accounts removed immediately. As a consumer, Im publicly publishing this descriptive complaint on www.consumerfinance.gov so that others can learn from my experience and so that this government agency can use this information to help work with other violations and complaints from consumers regarding this company. Under 12 CFR Part 1006 and as a consumer defined under 15 USC 1692a ( 3 ), I'm also preparing to sue under the FCRA and FDCPA because of the numerous consumer law violations committed by this company, damages to my credit and opportunity costs with making a major purchase, and business ventures that must be delayed until this illegal account is removed. It should not be my responsibility to submit proof that this debt does not belong to me. It is the responsibility of the debt collector to submit proof that they can legally collect on the alleged debt, legally report to the credit agencies, and follow all FCRA and FDCPA. As of this date, they have failed to do so. ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICE XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, PA XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX

Good afternoon : I reviewed my credit report and noticed inaccurate reporting and possible fraud. While reviewing my credit report, I observed the collection company in question- Ability XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX reported on my consumer credit report on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX also reported the same debt at or about the same time. I have attached a copy for your review. What's interesting is they are the same company. I have attached my letters written to them and the notices I received from the collection company. This violates the Fair Credit Collection Practice Act, prohibiting this from happening to consumers. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a certified letter to Ability Recovery Service aka XXXX aka XXXX XXXX XXXXe and requested debt validation according to the Fair Credit Collection Practice Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ). On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Ability Recovery Service, aka XXXX, aka XXXX XXXX XXXX. That stated they verified the debt with their client and provided NO proof of debt validation such as but not limited to contract, signature, or any documentation demonstrating facts proving this debt belongs to me, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Collection Practice Act. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a certified letter to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX disputing this debt because I believed this was fraudulent and inaccurately being reported to my credit report. I received a response from XXXX and XXXX that stated, " debt validated and will remain. '' Still, they both failed to provide debt validation, such as but not limited to contract, signature, or any documentation demonstrating facts proving this debt belongs to me or an explanation of how they validated the debt, which is a violation of the FCRA and FCCPA. I sent another certified letter by mail on XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX, aka XXXX, aka XXXX XXXX XXXX, and requested debt validation according to the Fair Credit Collection Practice Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ). with no response. Again they violated the Fair Credit Collection Practice Act. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent certified mail as a SECOND attempt to XXXX and XXXX requesting validation of the debt. Both XXXX and XXXX failed to respond within 30 days and produce facts, documentation, or evidence to prove this debt belongs to me. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent by certified mail a THIRD request letter to XXXX that the unverified items remained on my credit report in violation of the Federal Law and they are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor 's documentation on file to verify the information is in fact mines and correct. I demanded to know who verified these accounts and the method of verification and requested the account to be deleted from my account. XXXX failed to respond and produce evidence this debt belongs to me within 30 days. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent by certified mail to XXXX a THIRD attempt letter requesting physical proof of the original signed consumer contract-any an all documents proving this debt belongs to me per the Fair Credit Collection Practice Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). I received no proof again validating that this debt belongs to me, violating my consumer rights under FCRA and FCCPA. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Ability Recovery Service, aka XXXX, aka XXXX XXXX XXXX, that stated : " they have verified the information with their client. '' They failed to provide physical proof of the original signed consumer contract verification. All documents prove this debt belongs to me per the Fair Credit Collection Practice Act, another violation. On XXXX, I sent another certified mail letter to XXXX XXXX as a THIRD attempt. I exercised my right under the FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) to request a complete description of all the methods used to investigate my aforementioned dispute and requested this account be deleted because they failed to provide ANY original documentation required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), and must delete this account if it could not be verified under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA. I informed them they would be in noncompliance per Section 617 of the FCRA if they failed to comply ; it's considered " negligent and noncompliance '' I did NOT receive a proper response. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a certified letter to XXXX as a FOURTH attempt to exercise my right under the FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) to request a complete description of all methods used to investigate my dispute mentioned above. I asked for the account to be deleted because they failed to provide ANY original documentation required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and must delete this account if it could not be verified under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA. XXXX did not provide a proper response and violated my consumer rights again. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a certified letter as a FOURTH attempt by mail to XXXX demanding verifiable proof and if the debt could not be proven, it MUST be deleted again if they failed to comply with FCRA and FCCPA. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a certified letter as a FIFTH attempt by mail to XXXX demanding verifiable proof, and if the debt could not be proven, it MUST be deleted, again they failed to produce any evidence this debt belongs to me and violated the FCRA and FCCPA. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a certified letter as a FIFTH attempt by mail to XXXX demanding verifiable proof, and if the debt could not be proven, it MUST be deleted again ; they failed to produce any evidence this debt belongs to me and violated the FCRA and FCCPA. I have exhausted my attempts to resolve this matter at this point. I felt it was necessary to file a complaint.

This complaint is being filed against third party collection agency Ability Recovery Services and XXXX consumer reporting agency. This collection agency and XXXX have REINSERTED a medical account on my consumer file WITHOUT a NOTICE in writing no later than 5 business days after the reinsertion which is a VIOLATION of the FAIR Credit Reporting Act 611. [ 15 U.S.C 1681i ( a ) 5 ) ( B ) and ( C ) for failure to give me proper notice and maintain REASONABLE PROCEDURES DESIGNED to PREVENT the reappearence in a consumer file. The account number changed from XXXX to NOW XXXX but has the SAME balance {$640.00}, SAME company name ABILITY RECOVERY and SAME original creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX leading me to believe this is the SAME account. I feel like I have already took the proper steps with this collection agency DIRECTLY and XXXX refused to delete this item from my report after the reinsertion. XX/XX/XXXX I sent Ability Recovery a letter DIRECTLY at there address Ability Recovery Service, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX requesting for proper Validation as well as notifying them of the HIPAA violations being committed on my consumer file by them. Tracking XXXX. Ability Recovery RECIEVED my request on XX/XX/XXXX. Attached is a copy for your viewing. XX/XX/XXXX Ability Recovery responded and sent me a letter stating that the additional letter enclosed was VERIFICATION and they had INCLUDED a DIFFERENT third party collection agency XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in there same letter saying that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has PURCHASED the debt from XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. They also state the the balance is still outstanding and DUE TO XXXX XXXX XXXX Enclosed with that letter is a piece of paper created by XXXX XXXX XXXX that reflects NO Proper Validation. The ORIGINAL CREDITOR is NOT even listed no were on the Validation they claim to have proved. I was also confused on why a third party collection agency ABILITY RECOVERY was listing ANOTHER third party collection agency XXXX XXXX on there same letter claiming that I owe XXXX XXXX but Ability Recovery was the current owner? This is a VIOLATION of the FDCPA 1692e ( 14 ) because this third party collection agency has included another third party collection agency company other than there true identity and company name. XXXX XXXX is based out of Pennsylvania and XXXX XXXX is based out of Florida. There should be no reason why 2 different third party collection agencies should be listed on the same letter claiming validation on this alleged debt. Attached is a copy for your viewing. XX/XX/XXXX i sent Ability Recovery a 2nd letter tracking XXXX and they received my letter XX/XX/XXXX. In this letter I notified them of all the FDCPA violations they have committed by accusing me of owning them or XXXX XXXX this alleged debt that has NOT been proven to be legal. Attached is a copy for your viewing. XX/XX/XXXX I even took it upon myself to send XXXX XXXX a DIRECT VALIDATION REQUEST to there mailing address XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, since Ability claims that I owe XXXX XXXX. Tracking XXXX. My request DID NOT get to them leading me to believe that there address is NON DELIVERABLE. XX/XX/XXXX XXXX DELETED this account from my experian file. XX/XX/XXXX I noticed that this same company ABILITY RECOVERY has flagged my XXXX file. XXXX or this company has REINSERTED this SAME account with the same balance {$640.00}, same original creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX BUT now they are reporting a different account number XXXX. I sent XXXX a dispute notifying them of the Violation of Reinserting this account without proper written notices from XXXX in regards to the reinsertion 611. 15 U.S.C 1681i ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ). XX/XX/XXXX XXXX generated me with results report # XXXX and XXXX results outcome was the company that reported the information has CERTIFIED to XXXX that information is ACCURATE. If Ability Recovery or XXXX XXXX simply could not provide proper validation in order to make this alleged debt legally valid BEFORE then how is it possible to report the same debt claiming that I owe them still NOW? I want this account IMMEDITELY DELETED. My consumer rights are being VIOLATED. VIOLATIONS COMMITTED BY ABILITY RECOVERY and XXXX XXXX. 611.

To whom it may concern, Please see below letter sent certified mail to Ability Recover Services. Reading the below letter will best outline the definition and content of my complaint. PLEASE NOTE that this complaint is in tandem with complaint # XXXX that i sent today XX/XX/XXXX but I am just correcting the dates of the altered or " re-aged '' DOFB dates by the collection agency to XX/XX/XXXX not XX/XX/XXXX. Documents are attached showing original service dates of XX/XX/XXXX which Ability recovery sent me by request and then pictures of my XXXX credit reports showing repeated inaccurate and illegal re-aging posted dates of ONE year later starting XX/XX/XXXX sent by Ability Recovery Services to XXXX.

I am further disputing this claim as your company has clearly altered as " re-aged '' or what is called " illegally re-aging '' these accounts from the original date of debt as the above stated accounts reflect a new, different or altered date to the credit reporting agencies ; specifically XXXX. The copies of the original 10 debt charges that you sent on XX/XX/XXXX reflect original service dates ranging from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX and your reporting of " date of first delinquency '' or DOFB to the collection agencies ALL reflect a RE-AGED dates ranging in XX/XX/XXXX. The DOFD dates were re-aged almost 360 days ( 1 year ) in your reporting. FCRA guidelines Section 606 states : " The date of the first delinquency ( DOFD ) is the date a consumer first became 30 days late and no further payments were made on the account from that date forward. '' NO payments were made on these accounts. " The FCRA Compliance Date is the official beginning of first date of delinquency ( DOFD ) which can not be changed once an account is charged-off. " This is a serious " illegal '' offense as considered by the Federal Trade Commission and SEVERE violation of FCRA guidelines Section 606 C which specifies " that any entity that reports information to credit bureaus about a delinquent consumer account that has been placed for collection or written off must report the actual month and year the account first became delinquent ''.

I am maintaining a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Attorney General 's office, should you continue in your non-compliance of federal laws under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and the corresponding local state laws.

Ability Recovery Services ( XXXX, XXXX ) was hostile to me as someone erroneously assigned debt that was not mine. The companys representatives have been hostile, misled me, refused to help me remove an erroneous collections account, and hung up on me repeatedly. I did not receive any documentation or notifications addressing this debt until I received a notification from credit monitoring services that a collections account had been placed on my credit reports. I called ARS to clear my name, but never received a call or letter from ARS before the account was placed on my credit reports. I was hung up on by 3 separate representatives at various points during calls, and repeatedly interrupted by them also. In particular, representative XXXX XXXX was hostile and unhelpful once I informed him this was not my debt and I would not be paying it. XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) at Ability Recovery Services ( ARS ) was incredibly rude and activelyprevented me from clearing my name by : -not furnishing the PO box or fax number for ARS to provide documentation for my dispute, even when specifically asked what documents to provide and how -continuously insisting that the hospital could NOT help me in any way ( indeed, it was the hospital that helped clear things up because their billing error caused this issue ) -repeatedly interrupted me, yelled at me, and hung up on me -would not work toward resolution and instead insisted it was my debt after repeated claims it was n't -Specific examples of hostile practices : -During conversation, I asked for the steps to take to remove this erroneous account from my credit. Instead of providing a fax or PO box , XXXX 's response : " I 'm sorry sir, we do n't have a way for you to not pay your bills. '' This is further illustration of his unwillingness to assist in resolving the matter. This call eventually descended into a yelling match, as he kept interrupting me and I kept trying to talk over him. -On my third call to XXXX , the morning after our yelling match, I asked for more clarification, and I specifically said I did n't know if it was ID theft, etc., and that I " would appreciate more understanding and less outright hostility from him, '' he immediately hung up on me with no response - the exact opposite of what I plead for -XXXX was not the only rude representative, I was hung up on by at least 2 others after asking them not to interrupt me. This is a culture of bad behavior at ARS. -When I asked for a supervisor after the first of the hangup incidents, I was told they would take my name and number and call me back. I never received that promised call, even after a week and a half. Additionally, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) violated the FDCPA by knowingly furnishing incorrect information to a debt collection agency that has caused me undue stress and wasted significant amounts of working hours to resolve. I never received any notification of debt from XXXX, but was notified of this mistaken identity when credit monitoring services alerted me to a collection account added to my credit report. Upon investigation with the collection agency, I learned that XXXX initially held the debt and sold it to XXXX XXXX XXXX after attaching it to my name. The actual debtor shared my birth date, last name, first name ( spelled differently ), and had a different middle name. Upon further investigation with XXXX at XXXX ( reference # XXXX ), XXXX informed me that the account contained notes already stating the debt was in the wrong name and had erroneously been attached to the wrong person. Indeed, an individual at the correctional facility ( XXXX XXXX ) that housed the original debtor called to resolve the issue with XXXX, who did not resolve this mistaken identity. Instead of resolving the issue, XXXX knowingly furnished incorrect information to the collection agency, who then added it to my credit report and wasted my time trying to resolve this issue. The only information XXXX used to assign this debt to my name was a different name from my own and a shared birthday between myself and the actual debtor. There was no social security number ever used in the course of this debt handling. Indeed, in the debt verification letter, the address is a correctional facility - in no way does it match any of my information beyond having a matching birth date. Knowingly furnishing incorrect information and posting it to an individual 's credit report violates the FDCPA and causes undue hardship on the individual, not to mention the hostile practices of the debt collection agency. I filed a formal complaint by mail to ARS at the PO box provided and have received no response after over 4 weeks. Attached is the debt validation letter ARS provided me with, obviously containing a differently spelled first name, and an incorrect address in a state I never resided in. This case of mistaken identity should never have happened ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ' fault ), and I should have not been treated in such a hostile manner in the course of resolving the issue ( ARS ' fault ).

Ability Recovery Services is handling a debt that I accrued through XXXX XXXX. I had set up an automatic monthly payment plan of {$50.00} to pay off the debt.XX/XX/XXXX I received a voicemail asking me to call back at my earliest convenience as my payment was declined. Unfortunately I did not check my messages untilXX/XX/XXXX at which I phoned back. I reached XXXX, my account manager, at which time I explained I had lost my debit card and had to get a new one then asked if I could give her my new debit card number and set the payments back up on the first of XX/XX/XXXX. At this point she stated in a hostile voice that she would not allow me to go 60 days without payment. I asked when the payment was due, she answered " XX/XX/XXXX ). I was extremely thrown off at her tone stated that I would call back to speak with someone else, she let me know that she is handling my account so I would just get her anyways. I let her know that I was hoping to get someone that was not as rude ; at this point she asked if I was giving my card number, which I wanted to speak with someone else, she responded that she will note this as a failure to pay. Through this she informed me that she will be putting this on my credit report, even though I never stated I was refusing to pay. After I got off the phone I went into my email to check the receipts and attempt to find a different way to contact the company, Ability Recovery was taken out at various times of the month and usually twice a month. Never consistent. I phoned back later in the day at which I received another worker, she stated that my rep was right there and put me on hold ; came back on the line and stated she was going to see if my rep was off the phone ; came back on the line and stated that my rep had apparently left for the day and asked what she could help me with. I explained that I was looking to gain information on the dates that my payment plan had been set up for. She informed me that I was not on a payment plan. I stated that I understood, but was looking for the due date on my prior payment plan. At this time this rep would only answer me with the amount I owed. I stated that I understood that, but it was calling about my prior payment plan. She continued to only answer with my amount due. I explained that again I understood and that that was due to my rep making the decision to note me as a failure to pay. At this time the rep on the phone informed me that she is reading a note that the current amount she was telling me was not correct as that was a discounted rate and that my rep was not offering me that anymore. I again stated the reason I was calling was because I was looking for the prior payment arrangement due date. The current rep on the phone then read me the dates that I missed payments (XX/XX/XXXX ) and let me know that if she was my rep I would have never made it this far. The rep then continued to let me know that it was my fault that I chose to fail to follow through on my payment arrangement ( understood ), and that somehow I got lucky. At this point I asked to speak with someone else ; this rep informed me that XXXX was my accounts manager and that is who I needed to deal with. I asked to speak with someone higher than XXXX and this rep stated that XXXX is the only one I can speak with. I asked if XXXX owned the company and was told no. At this point this rep asked if I was going to give her my card number to pay off the balance at which I stated, " absolutely not. '' She then ended the call. I attempted to research and find out how to contact someone else at the company with no luck. I did however find hundreds of complaints ranging from the customer service to payments not coming out correctly. The BBB alone has 183 complaints. I did receive a call the following week from my rep, XXXX, returning my call from the previous week. At this point she offered me to pay {$25.00} this day and then {$50.00} on XX/XX/XXXX I asked XXXX what my prior due dates were and she answered with the dates that payments came out. ( Payments due every 30 days. ) I asked why the dates were inconsistent at which she stated that every time they billed my card was declined so they would bill again. Note : if taken out on the first this is impossible as that is the date myself and my husband are paid, as well as having overdraft coverage. She asked if I was going to make a payment at which point I stated I needed to speak with my husband as XXXX herself as well the other rep, who was very rude, told me this was not an option. XXXX simply stated that I needed to call her by XXXX the next day. I did not, as I am extremely hesitant to work with this company and honestly flabbergasted that they are even in business, nevermind a billion dollar company. Myself and my husband are working very hard to work our way out of debt, and unfortunately when our future is put in the hands of companies like this it feels impossible.

I received an alert that ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICES placed a medical collection account on my credit report on XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX in the amount of {$600.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I did not receive any notice of this debt in writing prior to them putting this account on my credit reports. Putting this collection item on my credit reports without my knowledge violates the FDCPA Collection Practice by placing a collection on my credit report without sending a letter to me. This letter is required under law and state my right to dispute the validity of the debt within 30 days. They took this legal right that I am owed under law away from me. I contacted an attorney for assistance. I contacted this company to try to resolve this matter on XX/XX/XXXX, while it was being investigated by my attorney and authorized ONE payment to be made on XX/XX/XXXX for {$50.00} only. On XX/XX/XXXX this account was then removed from XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX because ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICES was unable to validate the debt they claimed that I owed. If a debt can not be validated, under FDCPA laws the debt collector can not continue to attempt to collect on the supposed debt. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICES and spoke to the associate that originally took my information, XXXX XXXX, and asked that she remove my card information out of the system and I did not wish to continue making payment with them through this card either as I owe no debt with them and XXXX XXXX agreed to do so. I asked that they please send me proof of debt and ownership, Ex : a bill, contracts that I signed, my state issued ID, and any related documentation to prove this supposed debt was in fact valid. As I awaited their response via mail or email, I received letters in the mail dated XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX stating that they will process no amount, no payment ( $ ) as agreed to under prior correspondence from XXXX XXXX. This was not an issue as the letter stated no amount was due as the debt was not validated and I asked XXXX XXXX to remove my card information. On XX/XX/XXXX the same card I asked XXXX XXXX to remove from the system was charged an UNAUTHORIZED {$50.00}. This caused a financial hardship. I contacted ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICES on XX/XX/XXXX and complained that they made an unauthorized charge on my card. I was transferred around several times before speaking to management whom did not resolve the issue satisfactorily as the damage was done. They also added an additional {$5.00} to the balance they claimed that I owed which they didn't disclose on XX/XX/XXXX. I DID NOT AUTHORIZE the transaction on XX/XX/XXXX and this is a violation on my rights under the Truth in Lending Act. I will also be filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission if need be. They have committed fraud and deceived me by not disclosing an additional charge to the balance they claimed I owed for transaction on XX/XX/XXXX as well as the UNAUTHORIZED transaction on XX/XX/XXXX for {$50.00}, which is a violation of the Federal Trade Commission Act, Section 5 : Unfair or Deceptive Acts or Practices. They then sent a generic letter in the mail dated XX/XX/XXXX which is not adequate validation that this debt belongs to me. This sheet does not contain a contract, signatures by me, chain of custody giving them ownership of this debt. However it does violate HIPPA to access a patient 's information such as procedures and procedure codes by a 3rd party not authorized to that information. All around, ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICES has violated a number of my rights. ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICES is committing fraudulent activity on my credit report and " supposed debt '' that I owe. They called several times in XX/XX/XXXX not disclosing whom they were then adding this account onto XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX consecutively, yet again, each time they called and hung up on me as a scare tactic to get me to pay for an non-validated debt that was removed a year prior. This bullying has to end. I fear that they are trying to abuse me financial and deceptively. I fear for my financial safety against ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICES whom have a few hundred complaints for the same reasons. The associates are rude, hang up on you, do not disclose their identity, and do not provide an atmosphere where I am comfortable discussing any matter with this company. They need to remove this account from XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX.

Account ( Company ) Name : ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICE Account Number : XXXX Account Type : Collection Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Status Updated XX/XX/XXXX Balance {$2500.00} First Reported : XX/XX/XXXX Original Creditor XXXX XXXX Collection Agency Address : Phone Number ( XXXX ) XXXX Address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX My credit report shows a collection from Ability Recovery Services that I do not owe. I have made repeated attempts to clear this up and the company refuses to stop reporting on my credit report. I have been challenging this with all three credit bureaus since it was first reported. I have informed Ability Recovery Service that I do not owe the debt. They were no help. The person I spoke with in the past was rude and unhelpful instead I received a debt settlement reduced amount request for a debt that I do not owe. I responded to debt dispute in XX/XX/XXXX prior to the 30 day deadline. They continuously update the account in a unethical practice attempt to lower my credit score. Ability Recovery Services just recently updated the account this month. The original company is listed as XXXX XXXX. The original debt supposedly was from XXXX. They are claiming I owe ( {$2500.00} ) from classes? I enrolled in XXXX XXXX online XXXX course back XXXX, and disenrolled beginning of XXXX before XXXX in which the debt is stated as opened. I am XXXX veteran. I began having major medical issues from my military service prior to the start of XX/XX/XXXX classes. I disenrolled out of the program. I took all the proper steps to disenroll properly as informed by the college. In XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX sent me emails stated that they have not seen participation in my classes. I contacted them and informed them that I was no longer enrolled in the college. I was informed that I received the notification in error and everything was ok. I did research online and find out that XXXX XXXX has been sued with two class action lawsuits for unethical practices. Prior students complained about XXXX XXXX automatically enrolling students no longer attending the college in to classes that they have no knowledge of. The Department of Education have also fined them for receiving federal student loan funding for students no longer enrolled. I am a victim of enrollment of classes that I did not attend. In XX/XX/XXXX, I was not enrolled in any college. I even tried to recently clear this matter up with the college. I have not received any assistance with deleting this college debt that is not mine. I also researched Ability Recovery Services on the internet. Ability Recovery Services have abundance of complaints along with a lawsuit for violating the collection laws with contacting a consumer to include the extreme rude customer service like I received. I do not know what else to do. I need this debt removed from my credit reports. All my other accounts on my credit report has great payment history and this one account that is not my debt is preventing me from purchasing a car or a house for myself and my XXXX children. I three accounts open and closed shortly after extending me the credit and one account that the creditor reduced my credit limit down drastically to {$100.00} due to Ability Recovery Services continuous reporting this debt that is not mine. I am doing everything right with paying my actual creditors and on time and this collection agency is destroying my life financially. I feel very tramped. I have followed all the correct procedures with disputing and Ability Recovery Services re-reports the debt. I am now a XXXX veteran who is trying to raise my kids and provide transportation and housing for my kids and I can not do that. I can not utilize my VA XXXX XXXX XXXX a veteran benefit that I have earned because of the malicious and unethical practices of Ability Recovery Services of a debt that is not mine. I have serviced my Great country. Why do I have to come home and fight seamless debt battle that is not even mine? I do not know what else do. Can you please investigate and have this debt that is not mine removed, so the credit abuse on my credit report can stop? All I want is to have this debt that is not mine removed from my credit report, so I can have a part of the same American Dream that I served for especially when it is not my debt.

I answered a call on XX/XX/XXXX in in which the number was not familiar. I have seen the number on my phone before but it was a missed call. I answered the phone and a representative from ability Recovery Services let me know that I had a debt that was outstanding I'm at let them know that I am not received any letter or information about a debt. They said they had sent the letter in XXXX and I told him that if they accept the letter it may have not reached me or may have gotten lost or in the wrong mailbox because I've had that happen. They let me know that they said I had a building a bill outstanding for {$530.00} for a old medical bill I let them know that I have not seen a letter for medical bill and I said that there was their final call to let me know that if I didn't pay this bill that they would put it on my credit report and I let them know that I needed to work something out with them because I did not have the total amount to pay. They told me to pay in {$200.00} a month for 3 months even though that first they said the bill was XXXX and also said the bill was another amount from another representative. I let them know that the bill could have been as long as 2 years ago and I had paid on a bill and the amount disappeared. This was after they gave me a hospital date but they insisted that they want me to pay but made it so difficult to send me a verification letter for who the bill was from and the details of the bill. If they had a hospital date, I would think they had all of the details that they could supply me with over the phone but they did not. They told me that they had sent the letter and if I didn't pay or make a payment plan that they would put it on my credit I told them that I needed to talk to someone to see if I can get the money to pay because I was going through medical issues and it was going to be difficult to pay the whole amount. I also asked him for a verification of debt letter to know who they were and who bought the debt from and they told me that if I wanted that letter, it was going to take them 6 weeks to send me that letter which I have not seen I don't know if I missed it but they were supposed to send me a letter. The first individuals I spoke to on the XXXX were out of an XXXX call center out of XXXX for Ability Recovery Services and by that XXXX they had already placed the derogatory claim on my credit report. I called on the XXXX to speak to another individual this time within the United States by a number obtained on their website. The first number that called was XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX, the number I called after the derogatory claim was XXXX. During the call about the derogatory claim the representative said that he was going to suppress the claim but the claim is still on my credit report they have done nothing about it. I also let him know that I wanted a verification that is to verify that I had that debt and who the debt was from and he also told me they will take up to 6 weeks to get a verification letter. I let them know that if it was a medical debt that the state of Tennessee had passed a law that a company could not place medical debt on an individual 's credit report. He said that the company knew the laws of Tennessee and that they could proceed with it and I told him that it was only a few days after I answered the phone that they put this claim on my credit report. I also informed him over the company reviews that even after paying a lot of consumers had still not getting the mark removed from your credit reports and he told me that it would be removed after the whole amount was paid. After doing some research about the company this company has a habit of almost extorting consumers by marking their credit reports and trying to collect debts that may or may not even belong to them, mostly older debts that may or may not have been settled. This claim on my credit report is already cost me up to XXXX points on my credit report for one XXXX score. Their website is ( www.abilityrecoveryservices.com ). There have been many lawsuits and rulings against this collection service.

Pursuant to Section 809 ( b ) of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act : If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the 30-day period described in subsection ( a ) that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or any copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector. Accordingly, please provide me with the following : 1. A detailed accounting of what the money you say I owe is for ; 2. A detailed explanation of how you calculated the amount you say I owe ; 3.

In summary, I feel that I am being discriminated against concerning my student loans. Also, I feel that these companies should understand my homeless situation and how the credit file affects whether you can find housing for your family. I plan to repay them on terms I can afford but right now I am in survival mode. Companies need to be understanding of this and not so cold hearted.

Pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Section 809 ( b ), Validating Debts : If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period described in subsection ( a ) that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or any copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector. ( emphasis added ) Accordingly, please provide me with the following : 1. the amount of the debt ; 2. the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed ; 3. verification and or copy of any judgment ( if applicable ) ; 4. copy of and or proof that you are licensed to collect debts in PENNSYLVANIA and or NEW JERSEY ; 5. proof of the last payment made on the account. 6. Itemized statement of charges. 7. Original contract between creditor and XXXX XXXX of the family XXXX correct wet ink signature. I am asserting my rights under the federal and state Fair Debt Collection Practices Acts and the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including these rights : Because I have disputed this debt in writing within 30 days of receipt of your initial notice, you must obtain verification of the debt or a copy of the judgment against me and mail these items to me at your expense. You can not add interest or fees except those allowed by the original contract or state law. Any attempt to collect this debt without validating it violates the FDCPA. Also be advised that I am keeping accurate records of all correspondence from you and your company, including recording all phone calls, and I will not hesitate to report violations of the law to my State Attorney General, the Federal Trade Commission and the XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have disputed this debt. Therefore, until it is validated, your information concerning this debt is assumed to be inaccurate. Accordingly, if you have already reported this debt to any credit-reporting agency ( CRA ) or Credit Bureau ( CB ), then you must immediately inform them of my dispute with this debt. Reporting information that you know to be inaccurate or failing to report information correctly violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act 1681s-2. Should you pursue a judgment without validating this debt, I will inform the judge and request that the case be dismissed based on your failure to comply with the FDCPA. Finally, if you do not own this debt, I demand that you immediately send a copy of this dispute letter to the original creditor, so they are also aware that I dispute the debt. Furthermore, reporting information that you know to be inaccurate or failing to report information correctly violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act. If your offices have reported invalidated information to any credit reporting agency, said action might constitute fraud under both Federal and State Laws. Thank you for your cooperation,

I was working with Ability Recovery to resolve a debt issue. It started out good and I did not hear from them. I received 2 calls I did not get a clear message the first time. The second live call I returned the person on the other end extremely rude and unprofessional. Kept hanging up and telling me get a hobby laughing demeaning behavior. Scolding me for correcting the pronunciation of my name. Got me so worked up although the agent that was working with me knows I have XXXX XXXX that also affects my XXXX XXXX. I kept trying to get my rep handling my account. She eventually charged a card used previously for an amount she decided without my authorization or consent as payback. Finally hours later I got another representative that said that a request was put in for a supervisor and they will reverse the charge and report my debt on my credit report. NOTE : We have a verbal agreement if I settle the debt they do not report to the credit bureaus. I have a small balance which the lady used as a weapon to hurt my credit because of her personal attitude. Debt collection is not a weapon it is a form of remedy to a financial breakdown between the creditor and consumer. They should be accountable and held in the same responsible standard as any other firm in this country. With XXXX complaints how can they continue to operate without accountability. Consumer are HUMANS we are not to be treated as animals or objects but as people. They are responsible for maintaining agreements, providing valid information and using respectable forms of communication to initiate, execute, and close situations on behalf of a creditor PERIOD! Disrespectful, demeaning, rogue, mental abuse, cooersion, discrimination should be punishable with fines and operating abilities. Threats are threats and are illegal in any context. Dishonoring an agreement should be held accountable not only in the case of a consumer but for a Collection Agency. My agreement was violated by Ability Recovery and my credit file should not be the Collateral Damage. They need to collect my balance agreed by the form of payment I agreed to and not help themselves to any account of their choice. The abusive agents need to be held responsible for their actions. This has to end. I do not want anyone else to suffer from what is happening to me with this company. A manager is the only one who can resolve this because the representatives seem to have forgotten their roles and it is only on a management level that they will be reprimanded, held accountable, retrained if an option or released if this is not their first formal incident. My voice is my situation but a growing epidemic with Ability Recovery. This is my formal declaration or call to their being held ACCOUNTABLE FOR DISCRIMINATORY AND UNETHICAL practices. I have attached proof with the exception of the others the payment charged yesterday was not agreed, permission not requested when I called later in the day after being hung up and told off earlier I was threatened that the payment will be reversed we will report the entire debt to your credit report. No, I have a right to select the payment method and amount as our original agreement I would pay at least but not less than {$50.00}. The rep. would call me every month for a payment. The rogue rep. who charged the card to spite me is not my original representative. She I will say was professional, informative, surprisingly concerned and treated me as a human.

Dating back to XX/XX/XXXX, I had signed up to attend classes at XXXX College in XXXX, Ga. However, when I found out that any credits earned could not be transferred because of their non-accreditation status, I had cancelled the registration, which I thought was the end of this. But for years to follow, I had received collection letters from agencies trying to collect on the full tuition. Needless to say, letters of explanations had gone out and no further contacts were received. I even called the school again to remind them that I cancelled my classes before they ever began. A few years later, on XX/XX/XXXX, I had gone to my PO Box to find a letter from Ability Recovery Services , LLC stating they were collecting on this old frivolous claim. Well, due to my work schedule, I could n't respond right away. On the evening of XX/XX/XXXX, I received an ALERT from XXXX stating I had a new collection added to my credit file. On Saturday XX/XX/XXXX, I called XXXX College and spoke to a rep in the billing office to discuss what is going on. the conversation ended-up resulting in a discovery that their employee never updated the records when they should have, and I should have paid an early termination fee of {$110.00}. Needless to say, I paid them the {$110.00}, which allowed the women to update the notes to reflect there was no outstanding balance on the account. On Monday XX/XX/XXXX, I called Ability Recovery to update them on the information and to inform them on not only the misuderstanding of what happened with XXXX College, but also instruct them to remove their collection notices on my credit file. A copy of the receipt paid to XXXX College was forwarded to them. In communication with the rep from Ability, I was told they could not and will not remove the account until further investigation is conducted and that it could take a few weeks once they determine whether or not the account is valid or not. And at that point, I reminded them of the penalties that could be imposed for them reporting inaccurate information on credit files, which did n't seem to matter. On XX/XX/XXXX, I joined XX/XX/XXXX and noticed that Ability Recovery Services , LLC had placed a collection notice on my credit file back in XX/XX/XXXX, which indicated that the account was closed, but still showing an upaid balance of {$1000.00} On XX/XX/XXXX, I opened-up disputes with XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX against Ability to have them remove these negative marks on my credit files. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX sends me a noticed indication a change on my credit file. That said, I logged into my account and saw that Ability had flagged the collection as UNPAID, which still shows a negative balance of {$1000.00} ; this mark is shown on both my XXXX and XXXX credit files. In summary of this, Ability is fraudulently placing collection notices on people 's credit files ( 1 ) without giving them a chance to dispute it, and ( 2 ) keeping collection notices with balances on credit files when proof is provide that the collection is invalid. At this point, because Ability Recovery Services is falsely report a collection that does n't exist, I am demanded that they remove all collection notices and balance completely off my credit files, and to furthermore, cease and dismiss all collection efforts. Additionally, this company should be investigated for potentially violating the Fair Debt Collection Act.

About XXXX XXXX , I contacted Ability Recovery Services regarding a debt that was owed to XXXX University. I spoke to XXXX and advised him I had not received any notices from Ability Recovery regarding the debt. He advised that I would have had 30 days to validate the debt from receipt of notice. I asked since I was not given this time, would I be able to research the debt and make arrangements to pay in full to remove the debt from my credit bureau reports. He said yes. I affirmed that the debt would not be listed as paid and full, but instead removed from all reports. XXXX said yes. I provided him my bank information for payment of {$440.00} which was withdrawn on XXXX / XXXX / XXXX . The debt was not removed. I received an update indicating that the debt was " paid in full '' from XXXX . This was not what we agreed. Below is a timeline and synopsis of what has happened as I tried to reach out to XXXX regarding the issue. XXXX Called XXXX and spoke with a female who advised that XXXX was not in. She advised she might possibly help. I told her XXXX told me the debt would be deleted not updated to " paid in full ''. She indicated they do not delete debts. I told her what our arrangement was. She transferred me to a woman who indicated she was the manager, and the manager rep eated the same. I asked her when XXXX would be in. She advised me to call XXXX / XXXX / XXXX . XXXX XXXX -Called and pressed on to reach an operator. Was disconnected as soon as someone picked up. XXXX XXXX Called and pressed one to reach an operator. Woman answered and said she would transfer me. I was disconnected. XXXX Called and pressed one to reach an operator. A woman answered and said XXXX was at lunch. Advised I would call back in an hour. I was busy at work and could not call until XXXX . XXXX Called and pressed one to talk to an operator. I asked to be transferred to XXXX . This time I connected to XXXX who told me XXXX was not at his desk. XXXX said he can help. I told him the debt should be deleted, and he advised it would just be updated as paid in full. I asked when XXXX was coming back. XXXX said he was looking at his desk and does n't know where he went. I told him I would call back. XXXX Called and pressed one to talk to an operator. A woman advised she would transfer me to XXXX . I was transferred to XXXX again. I asked to speak to a manager. He said he can not just transfer me. I told him I was transferred to a manager without asking for one yesterday. XXXX advised me he can put me on hold and I can wait till one becomes available. I tried asking the name of the manager. He put me on hold and I hung up. XXXX Called and pressed one to talk to an operator. Tried to get manager ' s name from the woman who answered. The woman said it depends on what I want it for. I said to report and employee. She placed me on hold and disconnected me. At this point, I was frustrated and felt it was necessary for me to get intervention. I wish that I was able to get the names of the female employees. I really need help with resolving this issue. I even have a receipt for payment with a code for credit bureau report delete coded cbr delete. This is why I assumed everything me and XXXX discussed would be honored.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a phone call from XXXX XXXX stating I owe a debt and that I should pay it BEFORE it goes to collections. I denied owing any company any money and avoiding any debt. I asked for proof of debt but she claimed it was sent already on XX/XX/XXXX without me even requesting it. I ask her for proof she sent it because I do n't have it and apparently neither do they have it, as you will read below.. I tried to resolve the matter anyway. XXXX informed me it was a medical bill for a XXXX XXXX Facility on XX/XX/XXXX, that it was " probably a medical group ''. She had no further information. She put me on hold to talk to her supervisor. I had no knowledge of any medical bill from any medical facility prior to this call and considered it a possibility it could be a bill that was a workers compensation claim sent to my job for payment and asked for a debt validation letter. I hung up with XXXX and consulted the office manager at my job about my comp claim from last year. They do n't have anything on file but if it is indeed their responsibility they promised they will pay the bill. I called XXXX back and told her IF it is indeed a bill from my work incident they said they would pay for it, XXXX explained they do n't have it and it will take up to 10 days to get a copy from the origin of debt and a few more days to get it sent to me from there. Today XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I received notice that XXXX XXXX XXXX reported a Collections Debt to the credit bureaus. Yet I feel I tried to put the best effort to resolve this matter and they misrepresented themselves to me about " avoiding credit report '' and they still reported it on XXXX XXXX, XXXX which is AFTER my phone conversation with XXXX requesting a debt validation letter they do n't have and ca n't provide yet. Plus, I discovered she is stating it takes more time is then allowed by law to provide me debt validation letter that they do n't have and never sent, nor have proof sent. Both these actions violate federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. I can provide and do permit the CFPB the permission to access my USPS informed delivery account which the USPS records all mail sent to my address, either the USPS is wrong or there is no letter. I do not want this information on any of my Credit Reports. Also, I just contacted XXXX of XXXX as I write this, they will not let me pay them directly. The address they had was wrong ( I corrected my address with them today ), they claim the address they had on file was provided by the hospital, hence never getting the bills or collection letters and explains why Ability Recovery Services cant provide proof they mailed it to me. I am in distraught because of a spelling and claim error Between the Hospital ( which had all the right info and did get paid by comp ) and the XXXX XXXX XXXX ( which claims received their information from that hospital ) that likely passed onto collections, I am in a situation I should n't be in. This still does n't excuse Ability Recovery Services violation for reporting to the Credit bureaus without me receiving a debt validation letter or proof they sent one to the correct address. Then requesting an excessive amount of time to acquire one as well. ( middle of XX/XX/XXXX she told me )

ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICES # XXXXNOTICE OF DISPUTE ; DEMAND FOR VALIDATION AND PROOF OF CLAIM XXXX ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICES # XXXX To Whom It May Concern This letter is being sent to you in response to a computer generated, INFORMATION and letter received by Claimant from your offices. Be advised that your claim is disputed and validation and proof of claim of the disputed debt is requested in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692 and as amended by adding the following new Title 8 USC 802 et seq., and the Fair Credit Billing Act, 15 USC. 1666 et seq.

I have recently received a copy of my credit report and noticed Ability Recovery placed private information about an account I have with them on my consumer credit reports. Per 15 US code 1684 and 15 US code 1681b from the FCRA, the law clearly states : In general, subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. Meaning, if you havent received written instructions from me, THE CONSUMER, to put an account on my report, it should not be there. This is a violation. I never gave written instructions to furnish any of the following accounts on my report : XXXX XXXX - XXXX ( COLLECTION ACCOUNT ) Secondly, according to 15 USC 1681, the law states : Accuracy and fairness of credit reporting. The congress makes the following findings : ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. ( 2 ) An elaborate mechanism has been developed for investigating and evaluating the credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, and general reputation of consumers. ( 3 ) Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers. ( 4 ) There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. The following accounts are inaccurate and are in clear violation of my privacy which is a violation of the law. This is damaging to my reputation. As the consumer, I demand the following accounts be deleted from my credit report immediately. XXXX XXXX - XXXX ( COLLECTION ACCOUNT ) As the consumer, I did not give any written instructions to have this account reported on my consumer reports. I have not given this creditor permission to put this account on my consumer report. They have no permissible purpose by law to contact third parties with my private or personal information. This offense amounts to aggravated identity theft pursuant to 18 USC 1028A. They have knowingly transferred, possessed or used, without lawful authority, a means of identification of me, which is a felony punishable with up to 2 years of imprisonment, in addition to civil liability. 15USC 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) A consumer has the right to privacy there is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. They are in federal violation of my rights, as a federally protected consumer who has the right to privacy. In addition, I demand to have a copy of my updated consumer report once the deletions have been made.

The company XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX, XXXX. sent me to " collections '' according to credit bureaus over a non-existent account hurting my credit score. No due process was followed, they never contacted me. I definitely do not owe them a penny. I called the number of this company shown in website here : XXXX : XXXX and the person said that I don't owe anything but they reported me to the credit bureaus regardless and won't fix this. Then she said that they are not related to XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX, XXXX. even though the number of the website shows that company 's name. I dont know what to do. Supposedly ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICES is acting on their behalf to collect {$64.00} dollars that according to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I owe to them. This is absolutely incorrect. I paid all my bills immediately, I don't owe anything to no one. Also, Ability Recovery Services has no option for a consumer to contact them. The contact info appears to be for prospective clients. So, XXXX doesn't make it easy on me to find out what is happening and why they came up with this bogus claim that I owe them. XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX, XXXX. and ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICES need to be monitored by Federal Regulators for the following : 1- Causing financial damage to U.S. citizens without any regards to due process. I am trying to renegotiate my mortgage and then this happened!! I can not believe it. I have now a derogatory mark on my credit score record for something that is just not true. 2- Lack of business sound practices, such as producing documentation and communicating with the person that supposedly owes them money and communicating to such person that if no attention is given to the claimed amounts, that they will subsequently proceed with collections. I was NEVER contacted by any of these companies, they just didn't bother. They just proceeded to hurt my credit score and spoiled my chances of renegotiating my mortgage. Had they contacted me, I would have proven to them that their accounting and processes systems are deficient and sub-par because whatever they think they have about me is incorrect, meaning I have not used their services and I don't owe them a cent, nothing. By common sense, before you send someone to collections you first perform and document the intent to collect the alleged debt. You send letters, emails, make phone calls, leave messages. Many things could have been done and they did NOTHING. Had they contacted me I would have told them how wrong they are, but they didn't give me the chance. I dont even know how to effectively contact them and who in their organization can effectively repair this damage. 3-Having a website with incorrect contact information so people can not easily find out what is going on and why these company have hurt their credit. These companies doesn't provide a clear path to communicate and agree on a solution.

XXXX university is sticking me with a tuition bill for classes the university administratively withdrew me from. This is a scam and a way to get money. I began a XXXX with XXXX Uni on XXXX XXXX, 2015. I was shocked to receive an email from the Financial Aid office stating that they will be sending some of my aid back to the US Dept of Ed because I had not been participating in class enough. I was then informed that the university was Administratively withdrawing me from the class. I immediately balked at this assertion. I also asked how the university even knew about my online activity for my class and asked if " big brother '' was watching my clicks and logins. I also argued that the university had no right to take my financial aid and then withdraw me from class. Once the financial aid was sent back to US ED, XXXX stuck me with the bill for the class they had already withdrawn me from. It was the university ( Not me ) who initiated and completed the administrative withdrawal. It clear that they XXXX is using shady practices to commit fraud and get money out of unsuspecting Americans. They know that once they send financial aid back to the US ED, a tuition bill will result. Additionally, how can I be expecte to complete a course that I am withdrawn from? I asked if they were concerned about my clicked and logins to the online class, why didnt someone contact me to see what they issue was BEFORE initiating any adverse action. The university has all of my contact info, name, SSN, address, email, etc and could have easily contacted me about any attendance concerns. Instead, they hastily withdrew me from class without any regard to me as a student. I asked why wasnt I contacted and was told by a staffer that " no one has to contact you, it 's not a requirement. '' I was dumbfounded by that statement. It is clear that this " university '' has very shady business practices and is only concerned with getting money from students ; not in actually ensuring that students get a good college education or even graduate. They are, after all, a " For profit university '' ( emphasis added )! The university has not acted in good faith throughout this ordeal. How could I complete the coursework if I did not have access to the classwork and class assignments after the withdrawal? I still have yet to get a response to that question. I did a little research on line and found that several other thousands of people have experienced the same thing from XXXX University. So apparently, this is a business practice. This is away they get money ... off the backs of unsuspecting students who are blindsided by being withdrawn. Well, this student is taking a stand and will not allow this faux " university '' to continue to prey on people 's real goals and ambitions to get an education, only to be railroaded by this company. My outstanding tuition bill is bogus and I do not owe it.

Complaint ID XXXX XX/XX/19 : I was contacted by XXXX XXXX of Ability Recovery Services at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, PA XXXX. In the first phone call, she said the call was from a debt collector and told me the call would be recorded. She told be an amount over {$600.00}, which was to my knowledge, above the initial creditors amount due. I asked about it to which she responded that this is the amount due. I told her Id call the creditor, to which she said they will just have me call her back and hung up. I called back on the same date XX/XX/19, and the call was immediately answered by her, and without anything else she said, XXXX I have to call you back Im taking a payment. And she hung up on me. She called me back a couple minutes later and did not identify herself as a debt collector and that the call was being recorded. She was extremely rude, told me if I had just paid in the first place, continued to raise her voice, and claimed I was making demands when I was asking for the business name and address. I kindly asked for a validation of debt, and she said I was using stalling techniques and trying to make me feel as if I was being unreasonable in my request to ask for debt validation. I asked for the address and name of the business and was provided the information. She then began to say you dont have to be such a ... and then I couldnt hear anything else. I said excuse me, what did you say? And she says oh Im still here. She attempted to verify my address and couldnt say it because, per XXXX, she doesnt speak Spanish and claimed I was picking on her when I said that she couldnt pronounce it and was going to offer to pronounce it for her. He company responded saying : This matter has been removed from all credit reporting bureaus, as Consumer disputed this matter during the 30 validation period. We have requested the Itemized Bill for Consumer 's review. All Communication with Consumer has ceased. Once Consumer reviews the Itemized Bill, Consumer may contact our office and a representative would be happy to assist Consumer in resolving this matter. Thank you. Communication has not ceased. On XX/XX/19 at XXXX MST, I got a phone call from XXXX XXXX, she left a message and did not disclose that it was a call from a debt collector, just that she was calling about my XXXX XXXX schooling. I have not received an itemized bill from the original creditor, and the matter was ADDED to my credit last week. Additionally, I was contacted again today XX/XX/19 by another person from this company at XXXX MST. I want the company to uphold their statement by sending me an itemized bill and ceasing communication. I will only communicate with them via mail. XXXX XXXX is also not identifying herself as a debt collector. I also want this debt immediately removed from the credit bureau ( as stated from the companys response ) as I am disputing this matter.

I have been attempting to work on my credit for nearly 2 years now. I have been contacting creditors who I owe money to to try to pay what I owe. There are however a few creditors who are attempting to collect money from me that either I do n't owe or am unsure that I owe the amount they state I owe. Ability Recovery Service is XXXX of the collection agencies who say I owe money I am unsure I owe. Ability Recovery Service popped up on my credit report about a year ago. Well into the process of me rehabilitating my credit report. At first I attempted to dispute the account because The amount they were showing was outrageous. When I received investigation results from the XXXX bureaus stating this debt was " verified, '' I decided to contact Ability Recovery Service. At first I tried simply asking the representative at Ability Recovery Service for an itemization of the charges. However, when he told me that they added a {$600.00} collection fee I was furious. I argued with the representative as the amount they were trying to collect was {$3200.00} therefore nearly a XXXX of that balance was just a collection fee. Since I was now sure that there was definitely something odd going on with this account I asked for an actual itemization of the debt and gave them my e-mail and my fax to forward it to. I also asked for any original contracts and signatures they had on this debt. That conversation was back in XXXX of 2016. When I did n't get the documentation as I was told I would, I called again. They claimed they sent it. However, because it was supposed to be sent to me by e-mail or fax, I know for a fact that it was never sent as I never received any documentation from them. I even made sure to check my spam folder. After waiting patiently for documentation that never came, I then decided to send them a written request for validation which I will attach a copy of to you. This was done XXXX XXXX of this year. We are now in XXXX XXXX of 2016 and it 's been 90 days since my original request and XXXX since my written request. Ability Recovery Service has not provided me with any proof of debt yet they are still reporting this on my credit report as a collection. This is a clear violation of collection and credit reporting laws. Since I have been working so hard for years now attempting to fix my credit I am beyond outraged that this company would collect and credit report a debt they ca n't prove I even owe. If they continue to do so without providing me any proof of debt then my only recourse would be to simply sue them. I am hoping that I wo n't have to go trough a lengthy court case over something which should be obvious to a trained collection agency. Either provide me proof of debt or stop collecting and reporting it. Please assist me in this matter before I have to sue. XXXX University is the school.

Ability Recovery - a collection agency for XXXX University has been reporting a false debt to my credit report. I applied to go to that university and filled out all the documents per their instructions. They made it seem like I was being enrolled, but then told me they could n't accept my high school transcripts because the state of Indiana sends them electronically and they can only accept official hard copies of the transcripts from the state. After explaining this to them and even conferencing someone from the Indiana Dept of Education on the phone with them, they still said they could not accept my transcripts. They waited until I participated in an online class setting to tell me this. I 'm guessing this was to try to trap me into this debt by saying I participated. That was shady and should be illegal if it 's not already.

Now, I 'm stuck with a debt that I have no idea is legal to be there. I never attended their university. They collected my government financial aid, but never accepted me or fully enrolled me.

This is damaging my credit report and I will not pay a debt to attend a school I never attended - by their own admission when they said my transcripts were denied. I 've tried to dispute this through all of the credit bureaus, but to no avail. I have spent time and money for shipping costs to these credit bureaus and they are n't able to help me. The blemish on my credit is preventing me from obtaining credit from other places ; including getting a mortgage.

I would urge you to request correspondence from XXXX regarding our conversations. They have them in their emails. They explained to me on multiple occasions that I was not fully enrolled because of my transcripts.

The amount they 're trying to collect is {$2400.00} and I will not pay one penny to them. I 've been told this wo n't be removed from my credit report until 2023 and that is unacceptable. I do n't understand how a university can fraudulently collect debt this way and they already got federal financial aid in my name, as well.

I need help in this matter. XXXX has been underhanded, greedy, and dishonest. Please help.

I 'm enclosing an email stating they received an unofficial transcript and them requesting another. This is after I had to pay for the state to send the " unofficial '' ones. You can see clearly in the email that they REQUIRE an official hard copy, but per the state of Indiana Dept of Education, they do n't provide hard copies. I was never fully enrolled according to what they ( XXXX ) say that they REQUIRE hard copies of a document that I never provided. How can they collect on an account that never truly existed?

Thank you

per the last complaint on XX/XX/2022 complaint number XXXX the company stated, " Ability Recovery Services is a third-party debt collector ''. I never gave Ability Recovery Services any permission to use any of my identifying information to commit mail fraud or aggravated identity theft by contacting me about an alleged debt I owe. I have attached a copy of the debt validation letter, along with the cease-and-desist notice. I am aware that in accordance with Article 9, the assignment of a defaulted note is illegal. Both the assignee and the assigned are both liable for violations under 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 12 ). I have not validated any alleged debt with Ability Recovery Services and my failure to dispute the validity of these alleged debts shall not be construed as an admission of liability. As of XX/XX/2022, I have not received any documentary evidence, such as a trilateral contract, giving Ability Recovery Services any right to collect on this alleged debt. I have never received any documentation requesting validation from Ability Recovery Services, before they committed multiple violations under the FCRA and the FDCPA by furnishing this alleged debt to my consumer report, including but not limited to 15 U.S. Code 1692d ( 4 ) which the FTC defines as debt parking. If Ability Recovery Services, can not provide me with proof such as a tracking number that they attempted to lawfully validate this alleged debt with me, the consumer, prior to furnishing it on my consumer report, this has been a fraudulently furnished account with forethought and malice as an attempt to bring harm to me and my financial reputation. I am legally refusing to pay this debt pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1692c ( c ). I am demanding a cease and desist of all illegal activity, any communication and collection activity, of this and any alleged debts until Ability Recovery Services, can provide me with sufficient documentary evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay them. If this documentary evidence can not be produced and Ability Recovery Services, continues its collection efforts, I will file for litigation for actual damages caused and Ability Recovery Services, will be held criminally liable for aggravated identity theft pursuant to 18 USC 1028A, extortion, theft by deception, securities fraud, and mail fraud. Upon the receipt of the documents herein and of this notice, you are hereby notified Pursuant UCC 1-202f. Your prompt attention and response are both requested and required.

I was a full-time student at XXXX XXXX until about XX/XX/2018. In a History of Public Health course, a faculty instructor in fact discriminated against several assignments that were completed in his course. I was graded poorly and this caused me to remove myself from the program. I was in a course that caused a bit of confusion by their faculty and staff concerning the discipline of online students. I believe that I was being grade unfairly and that the problem internalized errors mistaken by net neutrality. According to XXXX ( XX/XX/2018), net neutrality rules require internet providers to treat all online content the same, preventing them from favoring- or withholding - access to certain websites, services or apps ( para. 2 ). This concept frees the information in the classroom and all other matters that effects the principle to restrict any form of discrimination or interference in the treatment of content. I have several emails where the actions of the other party at XXXX XXXX have enforced unfair accounts and inaccurate information concerning grading, grading appeals, and netiquette ( appropriate language for online learners ). I went through a formal administrative hearing and based on their decision, I did not feel I was accurately defended in my case or adequately supported by FERPA educational rights. I withdrew from the school without any formality or well wishes from the staff on my continuation to grow and learn with their university, and basically I felt like I was dismissed from the institution. I have email exchanges with my instructor and all grading components which lead me to believe I was poorly being graded and discriminated against on several assignments that led up to an assignment on a specific racial population. The policy was taken from APA manuals, 6th ed. concerning the detail of anthropomorphism in writing concerning my instructor. I have communication exchanges with the staff concerning the actions of meeting student responsibilities and requirements to the classroom by administrative appeals. I was also sent a correspondences that shares my public records and information with the university and a debt that I need to pay back. I do not feel my rights have been fairly provided in this matter and the university is in violation or in other attempts for causing a debt. XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XX/XX/2018 ). XXXX now has the 'world 's strongest ' net neutrality rules. https : XXXX

This company is a fraudulent company. They are fraudulent, their dealings are fraudulent, they are engaging in fraudulent activities, government should take note. I was looking for a program to sign up and take classes online. I got XXXX College online. for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Immediately I called to verify about their program. The guy on phone with me said the price for the program will increase the next day when I told him I was going to think about it and call back the next day. He kept me on phone that when I call back the price will increase that he was going to call me that evening. He called, but was still not ready to enroll. He persuaded me to just sign up with him on phone just for {$10.00} deposit. I said no, but he continued that I have 7 days to cancel. I then allow him. They charge my account {$10.00}, but never refunded as promised. I reported the issue to my bank. The program was about {$1000.00} that day, that I can finish in less than 2-3 months. I check the site the next day, the price reduced to about {$670.00} thereabout. I called them to cancel that I was not interested anymore, they promised to reduce the price by {$150.00}, I told them no because I began to become suspicious of their activities and dealings. I wanted to cancel they said no, that they can not allow me to cancel, that I must have to pay them {$150.00}. I did not accept any enrollment. I did not even receive any service, materials, nothing from them. Another person that I talked to said since I didn't receive any service and called to cancel the next day, said that I don't owe anything. Less than 2 weeks ago, I received a collection letter from Ability Recovery Services LLC to reply, that I owe {$220.00}. That I have 30 days to dispute. This letter is dated XX/XX/2018. On XX/XX/XXXX, my Credit Profile indicated a new item of {$220.00} has been added to my account. less than 3 weeks. I have rejected this fraudulent bill but they kept calling my phone that I must pay it. I called them, they said is my bill that I must pay it. XXXX College is fraudulent, the Ability Recovery Services LLC is Fraudulent, the government should look into their activities immediately.

XXXX XXXX alleges that I signed up for classes with their institution. This could not be further from the truth. I have never been to their website until recently, when Ability Recovery Services , LLC stated that I owed XXXX XXXX an alleged debt of {$1600.00}. I disputed this fraudulent debt with XXXX XXXX and Ability Recovery Services, only to be provided with documents purporting that I signed up. However, I filed all the required and necessary affidavit and reports to show that this is and was a fraudulent account. Nevertheless, XXXX XXXX is still, by and through ability, attempting to collect on this fraudulent debt. Moreover, they are using a company that is not registered in the State of Michigan as required. Ability Recovery Services , LLC ( a Pennsylvania LLC ), doing business in Michigan, is attempting to collect on an alleged debt, which I have clearly stated is a fraudulent debt. Ability, through the XXXX in PA, sent me multiple documents from XXXX XXXX to validate the debt, but, as I stated, it is not my debt and I have filled out all the required paperwork, affidavits and reports. They are also reporting the fraudulent debt to my credit reports, which has caused my score to drop. They have multiple addresses listed, which I have attempted to send certified mail to their address with the PA Secretary of State, but they have been returned. Ability lists three physical addresses. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX Ability Recovery Services , LLC is not registered with the State of Michigan to conduct business here. I am not saying that they need to be a licensed collection agency, but they do need to be registered with the state in order to transact business here, and they have not. Their website clearly states that they collect in all 50 states, and further claim that they are bonded and insured nationwide. They have never filed for an Application for Certificate of Authority to Transact Business in Michigan, they have no Registered Agent in Michigan, and yet they continue to flaunt the laws of this state and the State of Pennsylvania. Their illegal business practices need to be investigated at once, so more Michiganders are not put in the situation of dealing with such an unscrupulous company, who willingly, willfully and knowingly violates numerous Federal and State Statutes.

In review of my XXXX credit report on XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed a " collection '' account being reported by a company by the name of Ability Recovery Services LLC. I do not know who this company is and why they have placed a collection on my credit file. I'm requesting that they " Validate '' this debt by providing me with the following : * Provide me with a copy of my HIPPA release from the medical creditor that releases my medical information to you, therefore by providing such information they are in violation of my HIPPA rights. * Contract : provide me with a contract agreement between Ability Recovery and XXXX XXXX, bearing my signature agreeing to any extension of credit, etc. * Delinquency : the first date of delinquency in accordance with FCRA sec 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( a ) ( b ). * Original documents to show details of charges A summary of all account activities, including all payments made, late charges, interest, dates of payments received, date of payments posted, charges made and date of charges posted. Please do not provide me with a " Verification '' of debt, but Validation within the guidelines of the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act 15 USC 1692g ( a ) ( 1-5 ) ( b ). Furthermore, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Regulation F effective XX/XX/XXXX, does not give you the right to report a Collection on a consumers credit report without prior notification!

Validation of debts b ) Disputed debts If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period described in subsection ( a ) of this section that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector. Collection activities and communications that do not otherwise violate this subchapter may continue during the 30-day period referred to in subsection ( a ) unless the consumer has notified the debt collector in writing that the debt, or any portion of the debt, is disputed or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor. Any collection activities and communication during the 30-day period may not overshadow or be inconsistent with the disclosure of the consumers right to dispute the debt or request the name and address of the original creditor. I would like also to address that Ability Recovery services is in violation of Oklahoma laws as well, Oklahoma laws requires that a business such as collection company must register with the : Oklahoma Secretary Of States and/or have a registered agent - in which Ability recovery service has not and does not, Ability Recovery service can only collect, and do business in the State of Pennsylvania, IF Ability Recovery services would like I will bring these issue up in small claims court, I would not like to file in court but they are forcing me to, so to make clear if filing in court is my last option then I will, at this time cause I have dispute with out response several times I know can file in court the same as I have done against Account Resolution Services, please find there court case attached. I will Give Ability Recovery Services Until, XX/XX/XXXX to remove there trade line name before I file, but once I file I will let court make there decision, with no settlement option.

1 ) XXXX College account that went into collections. 2 ) XXXX XXXX took over account and mailed letter XX/XX/XXXX for balance amount of {$460.00}. 3 ) Account statement from XXXX showing past payments and recent payment made on XX/XX/XXXX. Which also happens to be the date this account was bought by Ability Recovery Services. Amount was for {$25.00}, statement shows balance now {$430.00}. 4 ) Receipt for {$25.00} made to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. 5 ) XX/XX/XXXX debt verification letter received from Ability Recovery Services for XXXX College account. Balance stated on letter {$460.00}. I contacted XXXX, as well as XXXX, to find out how the payment can be credited to account. It was stated by Ability representative XXXX XXXX, it would take about two weeks for the payment to be forwarded. 6 ) XX/XX/XXXX mailed a payment resolution letter to Ability Recovery Services outlining four payments to be made that would resolve the balance of {$430.00}. 7 ) XX/XX/XXXX received threatening letter in regards to account after two checks had already been cashed by Ability Recovery Services with my banking institution. 8 ) XX/XX/XXXX sent letter in response to the threatening letter received. 9 ) XX/XX/XXXX another letter sent in regards to my 'indebtness ' to the account. The last payment was delayed due to a household emergency, however, the amount stated on letter is still incorrect. It states a balance of {$220.00}, my balance was {$100.00}. 10 ) XX/XX/XXXX last payment check and accompanying letter was mailed to Ability Recovery Services, along with a spreadsheet of check numbers and payments. Check number XXXX in amount for {$100.00} still not presented to bank as of XX/XX/XXXX, mailed XX/XX/XXXX. 11 ) XX/XX/XXXX voicemail message received from representative XXXX XXXX at Ability Recovery Services, please see attached transcription.

I am constantly receiving communication from Ability Recovery regarding an account through XXXX that should not be reporting to my account. Ability reports that I owe from them returning funds however there is no contract from the beginning stating that I have a contract through this company. I applied for financial aid and this was covered. As reported in a previous report I was given more than what I needed. I never signed a agreement with this school so in no way should this agency continue to report to credit bureaus. I have attempt on many occasions for this agency to provide validation regarding this However this has not occurred yet. I recently completed another complaint and Ablility failed to provided the information request by running numbers. In the complaint it was even mention about emails and that they would be attached but this did not occur. This agency has fail to validate and this is against the FCRA. Ability Recovery is currently reporting as a UNSECURED LOAN to the credit bureaus. Again no contract, signature has been provided to confirm this information. AGAIN this is a violation of the FCRA. I have proof from my student loan agency confirming that the funds were not return on behalf of XXXX so referring this account to a collection agency as Ability is a violation. My previous complaint with the agency is XXXX. Again as mention in the previous compliant based on the statute of limitation in SC this company is legally not able to continue to contact me after three year. The limitation has been reach even though none of the reporting debt has ben verified or validated as mines. I am currently working with an attorney working to get this case in court based on the many violation this agency has committed. This will be my last and final attempt to give this agency a chance to removed and delete from all credit bureaus before finalizing legal actions. The proof I currently have confirming the funds that Ability Recovery states in complaint XXXX were return were NOT return and are included in my legal action. I will not stop until this matter is handled. This is the last of many attempts for this agency to validate the debt or delete all accounts from all credit bureaus. At this time I will attach proof of this account being falsely reported as a unsecured loan to the credit bureaus.

My complaint is concerning Ability Recovery Service, PO BOX XXXX, XXXX, PA XXXX. Ability had been calling me to pay a debt identified to me only as XXXX ID XXXX. To date I have never received anything from Ability Recovery Service in writing. Ability Recovery Service calls for three or four consecutive days every few months to demand payment. Each time I inform them that they must correspond with me in writing only and if they wish to talk to someone they must speak to my attorney at XXXX Law in XXXX XXXX XXXX, Utah. On or about XXXX XXXX XXXX I sent certified letter number XXXX which demanded validation of the debt Ability Recovery Service asserted that I owe. I also demanded proof that Ability Recovery Service was allowed to act as a collection agent for their unknown client. The XXXX XXXX XXXX website confirmed delivery to Ability Recovery Service as of XXXX XXXX XXXX. As of today, which is 108 days after a representative from Ability Recovery Service signed for my letter, Ability Recovery Service has neither validated the debt nor removed it from my credit files. In my letter dated XXXX XXXX XXXX I informed Ability Recovery Service that I will consider their refusal to respond in writing as verification that they are unable to confirm or document their claims. I furthermore informed Ability Recovery Service that this failure to reply within 30 days an acknowledgement that they are not able to validate the debt. A debt that is not validated can not be reported to the credit reporting bureaus. Ability Recovery Service must ensure that reports concerning this debt to any and all credit reporting bureaus are removed. The time limit for Ability Recovery Service to have corrected my credit files expired on or about XXXX XXXX XXXX. As of today it was still being reported on the XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX credit reporting bureaus, none of which will remove it because they all report it as disputed but within the law to report it. This caused me real economic harm when I recently refinanced my house, as I did not get the best interest rate possible on my new mortgage. My mortgage broker estimated this cost me upwards of 0.28 % higher interest, which translates to {$25000.00} over the life of the mortgage.

For months, well before XX/XX/XXXX, I have been receiving multiple, harassing phone calls from a debt collector named Debt Recovery Solutions. For a while this company was calling several times a day, rudely demanding for a " XXXX '' to speak to, leaving long voicemail messages with loud background noises. As I believe the debt in question is over 7 years old & no longer valid. However i have seen several companies re-open a dept before it hits that 7 year mark. After months of my phone constantly going off, I sent a Certified First Class letter to DRS asking them to provide validation of the debt. The letter was mailed XX/XX/XXXX in XXXX, Texas to DRS 's address of XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX. The letter was delivered XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX # XXXX I waited for the required 30 days for the response from DRS. However none was ever received from DRS. My understanding at this point is that the company could not verify the debt & dropped the case. In this letter & I told them to cease the all phone calls & voicemails. This did happen for a time, it started happening again after about a week after the 30 day response time ended. I continued to ignore these calls as I do not have the time to answer multiple calls from a company that is harassing me. I also checked my credit report to notice that DRS opened up the same debt amount under another time frame to keep the debt on my credit report. This is not the first time I have seen this happen from this company or several other companies that claim debts. The harassment from DRS has started again in the middle of XXXX. Since then, I have been trying to get to the bottom of this harassment & I have begun to answer a few calls to see if it is DRS. Since doing so, I have been told that Im stupid & a hog. Both of which I'm not & am considering their name calling a verbal assault. Then today XX/XX/XXXX XXXX I got a phone call from XXXX & say hello twice. Then the phone rings several times & am i transferred to a women who answers " Debt Recovery Solutions ''. I want to formally submit a complaint of harassment for Debt Recovery Solutions. As they have repeatedly ignored me asking them to cease & desist their phone calls & verbally assaulting me.

I would like to file a complaint of conduct for the debt collection agency, Ability Recovery Services, for their inability to follow legal requirements of providing a Debt Validation Note and/or effective communication through phone call or in person about the debt under the current FDCPA policies. According to current FDCPA regulations, debt collection agencies are required to provide possible consumers in it's first line of communication with the following information : 1. The amount of debt. 2. The name of the current Creditor to whom the debt is currently owed to. 3. A statement unless the consumer, within 30 days after receipt of notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector. 4. A statement that if the customer notifies the debt collector in writing within 30-day period that the debt, or any thereof is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of such judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgement be mailed to the consumer of the debt collector, and 5. A statement, upon the consumers written request within 30-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from current collector. If the initial communication doesn't have this information the debt collector has 5 days to provide this information. Under current provisions, this debt collector, Ability Recovery Services has failed to even provide any initial communication. I have no record of any phone calls, voicemails, in person notification, physical or digital mail for this agency about the debt that showcased on my Credit Report from the XXXX credit report agency. My first acknowledgement of this debt was through my credit report and my XXXX XXXX account under Derogatory marks. The total amount reported on my Credit Report for XXXX is {$1400.00}. The debt was reported on XX/XX/2022. According to current policies, they would need to have spoken to me in first initial contact, and then send a Debt Notice, and allow 14 business days after the notice is sent before reporting to any credit agency. I have no record of this.

On XXXX/XXXX/16 at around XXXX i had a horrible customer service experience with employee, " XXXX XXXX '' at Ability Recovery Services. I have never been treated with such disrespect from a customer service representative, let alone another human being in my life. Upon inquiring about negotiating a loan payment, XXXX XXXX became irate, disrespectful, and extremely unprofessional. During our conversation he threatened that he was going to, " play with my credit '' and alluded to putting my account into bad standing. After asking XXXX XXXX to be transferred to a manager or a new representative at the very least, he aggressively replied, " this isn '' t XXXX XXXX, you ca n't always get what you want. '' As you can imagine the whole conversation has left me in disbelief at this point. I replied, " Excuse me '' And in an extremely XXXX disrespectful tone he replied, " you 're excused '' followed by him yelling that my account would be placed into bad standing and that i could n't always get what I wanted. After XXXX XXXX abruptly hung up on me i tried calling back several times in hopes of speaking with a new rep. only to be aggressively and unprofessionally met by XXXX XXXX. After asking to speak with a manager he yelled, " XXXX, you ca n't always get what you want!! There is no other manager, I am the manager of your account!! '' I am in absolute shock at how horribly I was treated and I am extremely disappointed in Ability Recovery Services. My experience has left me feeling XXXX, XXXX, and unsafe due to XXXX XXXX ' threats. I do not feel that XXXX XXXX is fit to have access to such sensitive and personal information. XXXX XXXX prejudice behavior towards me makes me fearful ; not only that he has all of my my personal information, but also that he has expressed intent to use it in a malicious manner. I am 100 % dissatisfied with my overall experience with Ability Recovery Services. As a result of the discriminatory behavior i have endured on behalf of, XXXX XXXX, I believe that I am owed compensation from Ability Recovery Services. How unfortunate that because of my gender, my ethnicity, and my " social class '' I had to endure discrimination when simply trying to pay my debt and better my life.

Re : Account # XXXX Dear Ability Recovery Services OnXX/XX/2014 I noticed this debt had been placed on my credit report. I am disputing the above referenced debt. Please verify this debt as required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices ( FDCPA ) ( section 1692g ) and XXXX XXXX XXXX Administrative Code ( section 20-493.2 ). XXXX XXXX XXXX regulations require all debt collectors to send specific written documentation verifying the debt. Under section 2-190 of the Rules of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, verification requires all of the following : 1 ) Proof of my agreement to pay the original creditor 2 ) A copy of the final account statement issued by the original creditor ; 3 ) A breakdown of the total amount due, showing principal, interest, and other charges ; and 4 ) For all other charges, the date of and the basis for each charge. I dispute this collection because I do not recognize this debt and I do not owe any money to this creditor. I monitor my report monthly and I have become a responsible consumer and this is an unfamiliar debt to me. If it were indeed valid it would have been paid. Moreover, I have disputed this account with you numerous times and its still reporting on my credit report XXXX and XXXX. Ability said that they deleted the collection but after waiting more than 14 days this collection is still reporting. That is a violation. I will have no choice but to report your company to the FTC if this collection isnt deleted off XXXX and XXXX in 30 days. Because I am disputing this debt, you should not report it to the credit reporting agencies. If you have already reported it, please notify the credit reporting agencies that the debt is disputed and/or delete the trade line from my credit report. Reporting information that you know to be inaccurate, or failing to report information correctly, violates the FDPCA and their Fair Credit Reporting Act. Aside from verifying the debt, do not contact me about this debt. The FDCPA and Rules of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( section 5-77 ) require that you honor this request.

Ability Recovery Services contacted me on XX/XX/19. the representative did not disclose her name, company name, the recording of the call, or mini-miranda. She asked if I could make a payment and I stated no. She then hung up. I called back and requested to speak to a supervisor. I was hung up on. I called again and made the same request. I was told I needed to find something better to do and was hung up. I called back and repeated my request a 3rd time. I was told that just because i was a collector ( untrue ) I didn't know all the laws and was hung up on. I called again and the same request for a 4th time.

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that I disputing my debt with Ability Recovery Services XXXX LLC of {$2000.00}. The debt that I owe originated from XXXX University XXXX " the School '' ). The reason why I am disputing this debt is because my outstanding debt to the school is {$1600.00}. However, upon receiving a collection notice from the Ability Recovery Services XXXX LLC ( " the Company '' XXXX, the outstanding debt increased by {$400.00}. On XXXX XXXX, 2015, I spoke to XXXX XXXX XXXX a representative of the Company to request the actual amount I owe to the School. During my conversation with XXXX XXXX, I informed her that the collection amount sent to me was incorrect and that I was told by the School to ask them how much they were charging me over and above my outstanding debt. XXXX XXXX 's response was that her company was not going to disclose that information as I did not have a need to know about my outstanding debt and that the Company had a right to profit off of me. After writing the attached letter to the Company on XXXX XXXX, I received an Account History Report from the Company on XXXX XXXX, which I have included. There are few issues that I would like investigated. The reason for the investigation is that I believe the Company is conducting an unethical business. The XXXX item I would like you to investigate is the excess charge of {$400.00} over and above my outstanding debt with the School. The XXXX issue deals with the threats and harassment by XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX became threating and started harassing me during the conversation in which she told me it did not matter that I was working with the School as they were going to report my outstanding debt to the credit bureau regardless of the efforts I was taking to address my debt. At that point, I asked to speak to a manager and was not allowed to do so. In fact, XXXX XXXX told me that was not going to talk to me and that they had no reason to do so. She proceeded to hang up the phone on me. In closing, I am still striving to work with the School to see if we can settle my outstanding debt and set up payment arrangements.

After several attempts of trying to legally communicate and validate a debt that Ability Recovery Services is trying to collect they are negligent and less than professional in responding to the issue. Ability Recover Services has reported to my credit report without validating a debt they purchased. It has come to the point that it is just harassing them avoiding the issue then dealing with the matter. They are using a false instrument 'contract ' which does n't contain my signature. This contract also is a contract for a period of " 2 '' months. There report to the credit bureau 's state the XXXX delinquency as of XXXX/2014. 1. I have provided proof of payment for months including the month XXXX/2014 they claim late as report to the credit bureaus. 2.

Ability Recovery services have created a derogatory account on XX/XX/2019 and XX/XX/2019 according to XXXX. On XX/XX/2019 I have sent them, through mail, a letter explaining why I believe that the debt is not owed by me. The company has not responded to the letter. You can also note that there are multiple lawsuits against this company, with the complainants winning their lawsuits. The letter was as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NY XXXX XX/XX/2019 CERTIFICATE OF MAILING Ability Recovery Services , LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX Re : Your Abusive and Malicious Conduct Dear Sir/Madam : I am disputing the alleged debt to XXXX XXXX. Please verify this debt as required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) ( section 1692g ) and XXXX XXXX XXXX Administrative Code ( section 20-493.2 ). XXXX XXXX XXXX regulations require all debt collectors to send specific written documentation verifying the debt. Under section 2-190 of the Rules of the City of XXXX XXXX, verification requires all of the following : Proof of my agreement to pay the original creditor ; A copy of the final account statement issued by the original creditor ; A breakdown of the total amount due, showing principal, interest, and other charges ; and For all other charges, the date of and basis for each charge. I dispute this debt because I do not owe this debt. As someone who currently attends University XXXX Pennsylvania XXXX XXXX, it is highly unlike that I would attend XXXX XXXX, a school that is often attended by those without high school diplomas. Because I am disputing this debt, please notify the credit reporting agencies that the debt is disputed and delete the tradeline from my credit report. Reporting information that you know to be inaccurate, or failing to report information correctly, violates the FDCPA and the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 15 U.S.C. 1692, et seq. Aside from verifying the debt, do not contact me about this debt. The FDCPA requires that you honor this request. 47 U.S.C. 227, et seq. Thank you. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Subject : Formal Notice of Violations and Request for Remediation Dear Ability Recovery Service, I am writing to bring to your immediate attention clear violations of both federal and state laws in the manner Ability Recovery Service has handled my credit information. It has come to my notice that unauthorized items have been reported to my credit report without my explicit consent, constituting a serious breach of privacy and identity fraud. This action violates FCRA Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( A ), Ohio Revised Code ( ORC ) Section 1349.19, and ORC Section 1349.191. Furthermore, the unauthorized reporting is adversely affecting my creditworthiness, and I assert that even in the case of a permissible purpose, my explicit consent is a necessity, as outlined in FCRA Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( A ) and ORC Section 1349.19. I am formally demanding the immediate removal of this unauthorized and unverifiable item from my credit report, in clear violation of FCRA Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), Ohio Revised Code Section 1349.19, and ORC Section 1349.191. I expect this to be done within 30 days from the receipt of this complaint, as stipulated by FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 8 ) and Ohio state law. Failure to comply within the specified timeframe will be considered willful noncompliance, subject to legal consequences. Moreover, I insist on Ability Recovery Service providing a written document that proves I, as the consumer, have granted explicit permission for your agency to access my consumer profile. This failure to obtain consent is a direct violation of FCRA Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( A ) and ORC Section 1349.19. This correspondence serves as a formal notice of violations, and I expect prompt action to remedy these breaches of federal and state laws. Failure to address and rectify these issues will leave me with no choice but to pursue legal action to protect my rights. I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and demand a swift resolution to ensure the accuracy and integrity of my credit report. Done in good faith.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX Ability Recovery Services, XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX [ Their Address ] [ City, XXXX, Zip ] Re : Dispute of Debts To Whom It May Concern, I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, am writing to dispute two specific debts currently listed on my credit report. The first, reported by Ability Recovery Service with a last report date of XX/XX/year>, concerns an open balance of {$510.00} related to XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX. The second, reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX with a last report date of XX/XX/year>, concerns an open balance of {$880.00} related to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX As per my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), particularly under 15 U.S.C. 1692e and 15 U.S.C. 1692g, I am disputing these debts and request validation. These statutes mandate accurate and honest communication about the debt and require you to provide a detailed validation notice. Furthermore, there seems to be a potential violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2, as my consent was not provided for accessing or reporting my credit information. This is particularly concerning regarding the debt from Ability Recovery Service, where there is no clear permissible purpose under the FCRA for accessing my credit report. I also cite 15 U.S.C. 1692d and 1692f, which prohibit harassment, abuse, and the use of unfair or unconscionable means in debt collection. Given the remarks on my credit report about the XXXX XXXX XXXX debt being disputed and meeting FCRA requirements, it is imperative that these matters are handled with strict adherence to these laws. I request a prompt review of these debts and provision of evidence validating them. Should you fail to validate these debts, I expect their immediate removal from my credit reports and a written acknowledgment of this action. Non-compliance will leave me no option but to pursue further legal action. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I await a timely and compliant response. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

On XX/XX/XXXX I sent the following letter to Ability Recovery Services disputing a collection account that showed on my credit report for a debt that I did not recognize. XX/XX/XXXX ATTN : ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICES , LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Re : XXXX Dear Ability Recovery Services, I am responding to a collection notice from your company that is reflected on my XXXX credit report. I do not recognize this claim and do not believe I am responsible for this debt. Please provide me with written documentation via mail at the address below to validate this purported debt : An itemized statement showing the amount you claim I owe. A copy of the written agreement or contract I signed relating to this purported debt. Proof of the last action taken on the account. Proof that you are licensed in the state of XXXX to pursue this debt. Kindly suspend all further collection activity until you are able to validate the above-referenced claim. Thank you. I will await your reply. SINCERELY, The letter was sent via certified mail and receipt was confirmed on XX/XX/XXXX. In response, Ability Recovery Service sent a photocopy of a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX that stated : As per your correspondence, please find the information that you have requested. After reviewing please contact me at ( XXXX ) XXXX. '' The second page included a print out of an online college application. There was nothing that showed that I had any type of monetary account, no proof that the debt existed, and no itemized information on the activities they have taken on my account. In fact, there was nothing dated within the receipt time frame requested in my XXXX letter. I also disputed the collection account with XXXX. Instead of removing the debt after failing to provide the information to validate the debt, they reported the debt again with XXXX. I was told that I would need to file a new dispute from XXXX in order to have the duplicate account removed. Presently, I have not received a response dated within 30 days of when my letter was sent.

On XXXX / XXXX / XXXX I contacte d Ability Recovery Services LLC. in a n attempt to settle a debt that was outstanding on my credit report. When I called the first time I spoke with a gentleman that offered me a 15 % discount off of the original amount owing. I informed him that I was unable to pay that amount and asked if there was any better offer he could come up with. He informed me that the best he could offer was the 15 %. That ended our conversation. Less tha n 5 minute s after the original conversation ended I was called b y Ability Recovery Services LLC. and spoke to a female representative. She informed me that the original person I had spoken with was not the account manager on this particular account, and that she was authorized to make me a 50 % discounted settlement on the account. At that point I informed her that I could make that payment as soon as I received a letter stating the terms of our agreement. She informed me that she was located in Pennsylvania and that " preemptive letters '' were illegal in that State. I told her I would figure some things out and get back to her, and our call ended. On XXXX / XXXX / XXXX I was called on my cellular phone b y Ability Recovery Services LLC. bu t was unable to answer because I was at work. On XXXX / XXXX / XXXX I called again. I was run through a recorded prompt. I talked to the same female as previously and asked again for a settlement letter. Once again the female representative explained that they do not send out " preemptive letters '' and that I was on a recorded line and that was good enough. I explained that I would not be making any payments until I received a settlement offer in writing. She said she would send me a bill and that is where the conversation ended. On XXXX / XXXX / XXXX I call ed Ability Recover Services Again, Talked to the same representative again and was once again told that they will not send preemptive letters out, and that in fact it was illegal for them to do so.

Ability Recovery Services is attempting to collect a debt that I do not owe. My credit profile took a huge downfall due to the company reporting several accounts as collection accounts. The information they are reporting to the three credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ) is incorrect. The company states they are collecting on behalf of XXXX XXXX Department. The accounts that Ability Recovery Services are attempting to collect have " service dates '' that were covered under a charity care that was provided to me from the hospital, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX Emergency Department utilizes this charity care program as well. Due to communication issues not involving me, my charity care was not forwarded to the XXXX Emergency Department and my coverage was not applied to several accounts. In addition, these same accounts were sent to collections without notification to me and, as expected, really hurt my credit profile. In an attempt to help this matter, I provided documentation to the Gainesville Emergency Department showing that I was covered 100 % during the service dates. The XXXX Emergency Department agreed and confirmed this information upon receiving copies of my approval letters. The XXXX Emergency Department said they would forward the information to Ability Recovery Services. I have called several times and Ability Recovery Services have said that they are not sure if the information have been received and was not sure ig if corrections were applied yet. I took it a step further and decided to send the documentation via certified mail to Ability Recovery Service myself. I feel this is unfair and I would like this fixed immediately. I want to ensure that Ability Recovery Services corrects this error, remove this information, and cease reporting this incorrect information to all three credit bureaus. I also want to prevent this incorrect information from being reported again in the future and/or sold to another collection agency. I would like this situation cleared up immediately. Thank you.

On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I enrolled in a online course through XXXX University. I enrolled in this class with a Federal Student Loan Credit. It was a Direct Unsubsidized Loan. XXXX XXXX XXXX did not provide for any other means of payment for the course, other than this student loan. According to the student loan, the student must be enrolled for a certain amount of days for the loan to pay off. I withdrew from the course on XXXX XXXX, 2015. The financial aid office was aware of this ( the payment date of the loan ) ; they made me aware of this. Still, they made no further provision for payments. The days of which I participated on-line was to be paid through financial aid. It is my understanding that I had the jurisdiction to withdraw without penalty/payment expected, because the payments was set up under the guidlines of the rules of the U. S. Dept. of Education Federal Student Loan. And no other provision was expected, nor signed for. XXXX University has placed a debt of {$910.00} on my credit report and I deny that this is my bill. I believe that this should be removed from my credit report. With the exception of the weekend days, I only had less than 10 days of on-line opportunity of which to work on line for the course. XXXX was aware as to when the student loan was to pay off and did not request any payments for the days prior to the payment from the student loan company. They did not make this request at the time of registration and should not be allowed to do so after the withdrawal. The instructor kept complaining that I was not submitting my work in the proper format that he could receive it. I tried many times to correct this issue and it did not resolve. Therefore, this online course was not appropriate for me and there was not a need to waste the Federal Student Loan. I have discussed this issue with the financial aide office at XXXX University many times. I have discuss this situation with the credit reporting agency - XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX PA XXXX - via a response mail.

Collection Agency : Ability Recovery Sercives LLC Original Debt Holder : XXXX University Written Notification Complaint # 1 : I have received numerous bills in the mail ( last one dated XX/XX/XXXX ) about a {$2600.00} debt thats supposedly owed to XXXX University. I have asked the collection agency ( last phone call on XX/XX/XXXX ) to send me an itemized bill. I have NOT received a bill. A representative for Ability Recovery Services LLC told me during a conversation on XX/XX/XXXX, that I had previously requested a bill and should have already received the statement in the mail. Just recently, I was told by a representative with Ability Recovery Services that it would take 30 days to receive the bill and that her company policy requires that she receives the bill first, then she will send it in the mail to me. If the bill was previously requested by me and sent to me, why doesnt the collection agency already have a copy of the bill to forward? The 30 day waiting period is ridiculous. False Statements Complaint # 2 : It has been reported to all three credit bureaus that I have defaulted on a loan thats in the amount of {$2600.00}. The original debt holder is reporting a different amount. There is a massive discrepancy in the amount being reported by XXXX and Ability Recovery Services. Communication Tactics Complaint # 3 : Ability Recovery Services LLC rep XXXX ( last name ) was extremely unprofessional. He hung up on me while I was requesting an itemized bill. Told me that he didnt want to waste his time sending me the itemized bill because he knew I wasnt going to pay it. He took a prejudice/bias accusatory stance by stating your not going to pay this bill anyway, so why did you call. After being hung up on, I called back and XXXX hung up the phone again, after I requested to speak to a different collections rep. Again, refusing to accept my request for an itemized bill. I had to call back a third time to talk with a professional collections agent.

XX/XX/XXXX To whom it may concern : I need assistance from your agency. I recently obtained a copy of my XXXX credit report, and I saw where a collection agency, named Ability Recovery Services LLC, has placed a fraudulent {$64.00} medical collection onto my credit file. This collector did not verify this debt prior to ruining my name, and credit rating with this debt that is not mine and has never been mine. I do not owe this fraudulent debt, and I want it immediately removed from my credit files, FROM ANY, AND ALL credit bureaus that they have placed it on. About 8 years ago this collector did this same thing through XXXX, they placed medical debts onto my credit files of a deceased person that I do not know, nor have I ever known. This collector has placed XXXX XXXX onto my credit files, for a deceased person, a XXXX XXXX, along with addresses that I do not know, nor have I ever lived at. They have had XXXX to add a XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX, to my credit file. I have never lived at this address, and I want this fraudulent address information removed from my credit files, as well. If your agency can do something about this collector who does not even verify the fraudulent information that they ruin peoples credit with, it would be greatly appreciated. On top of damaging my credit with debt that isnt mine, they are also breaking Texas statute of limitations law. They claim that this debt from whomever became delinquent in XXXX, then they report it onto my credit files in XXXX of XXXX. I want this collection agency to remove my name and information from their agency files, and I want hard copy written proof that this has been done. As previously stated, I want this fraudulent medical collection, as well as the fraudulent address information removed from ALL of my credit files with all of the credit bureaus, and I want hard copy written proof that, that has been done. cc : Attorney XXXX XXXX cc : The Federal Trade Commission

Date of Service : XX/XX/2013 Amount Owed : XXXX Since XXXX I have been trying to have this erroneous reported debt removed from my credit report. It has had adverse affects, especially at a time when I am trying to get a home loan. I was part of the hospitals financial assistance program and my date of services was XXXX out and covered by the program : XXXX. The hospital sent word that : " Ive just heard back from XXXX XXXX. Theyve confirmed that the account has been closed from ARS ( Ability Recovery Services ) per the financial assistance approval. They have also removed any derogatory credit reporting that was done as a result. '' Yet when I contacted the credit bureaus recently, they say the removal happens immediately once it has been reported and it has not been removed. I feel I have very little control over what is happening to my credit. The credit bureaus don't care about the proof I have submitted or what I have to say or what the hospital has to say. They only want to take the side of the creditor which is a 4th party at this point. I can not live with this type of unnecessary stress and now am having negative repercussions for something that never should have been sent to collections and on my report to begin with. The hospital has been amazing and has done all they can do. I am extremely impressed and thankful for their help. This is now up to Ability Recovery Services to remove this account from my report immediately. Not when they feel like it, but immediately. I'd also like to send a complaint about the bureaus for not performing proper investigations into this and for not accepting the word of the hospital and proof I sent in. This could have and should have been handled immediately once they received all of these documents. They also refused to contact Ability Recovery Services. So tell me, how can they perform investigation on disputes without proper communication? Thank you in advanced for your help in this matter.

I attended XXXX University in XX/XX/2015. I eventually dropped out of classes. While in classes I used federal student loans to cover my courses. However XXXX University now has a collection agency Ability Recovery Services reporting I own a balance of {$3200.00}. At no point did I have a contract with XXXX University for them to now report to the credit bureaus stating that I owe them any money. I attempt to complete this issue with XXXX as well as Ability Recovery but I still have not recieve anything stating that I directly own them any money. I am currently passing my loans back including XXXX through XXXX XXXX, the student loan company that I have been working with with all of my student loans. On top of XXXX and Ability Recovery not being able to provide validation of a contract that I had directly with them they did not return the funds back to XXXX services that originally was posted to my accounts for course in advance. This has still not been explain. This is an account that should immediately be deleted from all three credit bureaus. The actions that XXXX has taken is illegal and Ability Recovery as a collection agency is in the wrong for not having the proper paperwork as well also due to I never I completed a contract with them so at no time should they be contacting me regarding any debt. Further more based on the statute of Limitation in South Carolina the limit is three years for collection of debt. Even though there is no validity to this debt above is another reasons as to why I am requesting this debt be removed from all three credit reports immediately. Attach I have a statement from XXXX services confirming that the funds were not return. This is against the law and XXXX or Ability Recovery is able to explain but they are requesting funds from me that finiancial aid would have covered, which I why Im currently making money payment with a legitimate student loan agency, XXXX XXXX.

Reporting inaccurate and unsubstantiated information to a credit reporting agency may constitute fraud under federal law.

Ability Recover Services, LLC has repeatedly reported to the XXXX credit bureaus that I owe a debt that was paid to the original creditor by insurance. I have called them 4 times to resolve the issue and after they stated they would remove the debt from my bureaus, it has now reappeared on XXXX. When I call them to ask them why, they tell me that I " probably '' still owe the amount even though they have sent me an invoice that shows it was paid by insurance to the original creditor. The original creditor submitted an invoice to me that shows that it was paid as well as their payment company, XXXX. My last communication with Ability Recovery Services was today XX/XX/2016, over the phone where the Manager stated to me that I needed to speak to the person who is handling the account who is under here and that she believes that I still owe the money even though there are " paid '' invoices on file. When I tried to explain to her that I had received an invoice from the original creditor as them showing that there was a XXXX balance, she put me on hold for over 20 minutes. I have sent this company a request for validation of the debt pursuant to the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act 15 USC 1692g SEC. 809 ( b ) by USPS mail with signature required delivery but they have not responded to that request. They have only sent a generic letter or verification which ironically had the invoice that shows the debt was paid. On XX/XX/2016 their representative XXXX stated that the error would be removed from my credit reports and that it would not be put back on them. On XX/XX/2016 I received a notice from XXXX that the debt was placed back on my report by Ability Recover Services LLC. To date, they have continued to tell me that I need to contact the credit bureau 's and dispute with them and the credit bureaus tell me that I need to call the company that is reporting the negative file to have it removed.

This will be my third complaint submitted regarding this company. XXXX XXXX XXXX, a credit agency working behalf of XXXX University. In my last complaint I explained how the information provided was inaccurate. I requested that the information regarding a collection account on my credit report reporting negatively be validated. Until this day this information still has not been done. The company however did send a letter that I will have attached to this compliant. This letter states information that AGAIN I want to VALIDATED. Due to the lack of cooperation with this agency I went to the source. My XXXX provided to get them to validate the information. This could not be done. Due to XXXX services not being able to validate this information this loan along with other loans have been deleted from all three credit bureau. I will provide a copy of the deletion from XXXX credit bureau to this complaint. If this was case that XXXX services could verified and validate I would cooperate with the company how this could not be done. At this point and time I am considering the actions by Ability Recovery Services and XXXX University as harassing and will continue to go as far as needed to settle this matter. I am currently working with my attorney to see what is needed to take this case to court if this account is not delete from my credit report. This company has failed to provided the necessary information and the main source of their information XXXX has step up and deleted the account from all credit bureaus due to it being inaccurate.The company is reporting funds were returned to XXXX XXXX however XXXX XXXX has deleted this account along with other due to inaccurate information. I will allow 30 days for this company to respond appropriately by deleting this account from my credit report. If this action is not taken I will move forward with the next step in the legal process.

This is my 3rd attempt with filing against this company for blatantly placing an item on my report when they did not in fact send me a dunning letter prior to placing this erroneous, inaccurate item on my report. By law I was supposed to receive a letter from them and then I would have had 30 days to dispute the validity of the account. In their previous response they indicated that they sent me a letter. Why then did they not attach the letter to their response. They then went on to state that they mailed a letter on XX/XX/XXXX. As of today, I have not received any correspondence from them. I am escalating my complaint to the FTC as well as the Attorney General and BBB. This company has and continues to violate my consumer rights. I sent this company a letter in XX/XX/XXXX ( see attached ), certified with return receipt requesting the following ( all of which validates a debt in the state of Texas ) : Proof that you are licensed to collect in my state ; and Provide me with your license numbers and Registered Agent A summary of all account activities, including all payments made, late charges, interest, date of payments received, date of payments posted, charges made, and date of charges posted Copies of all charge slips, invoices, promissory notes, and all other documents proving indebtedness Copies of all documents sent to me regarding my account ; Copies of any papers that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe bearing my original signature ; Prove the Statute of Limitations has not expired on this account ; To date, this company has not responded. How too then by them responding and contradicting themselves by saying they have sent me debt validation is this item reporting not in violation of my rights and not in violation of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act ( FDCP ) of which they are regulated as a third party collection agency?

I was contacted by Ability Recovery Service XXXX XXXX, Wyoming, XXXX XXXX by phone concerning a medical debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX in 2017. When they first contacted me, I explained to them that I am a XXXX Veteran with a service connection rating of 100 percent by the US Department of Veterans Affairs and if they would mail me a statement verifying the debt of {$2000.00} that I would turn it in so the VA could pay it. They demanded that I pay something on it now. I explained to them again that I needed something in writing and updated my mailing address with them so they could mail me a written statement. The person put someone in management on the phone and he eventually told me that they would mail me a statement. After this no statement ever came in the mail and they continued to call me in a harassing manner demanding that I make payments on this debt. I tried explaining again every time they called to mail me a statement. Finally I received a notification from my XXXX account that they reported this as a negative account to XXXX and XXXX. I then contacted my credit advisor at XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) XXXX XXXX and explained what happened and she advised me to file a consumer complaint with FTC. The Department of Veterans Affairs will pay this debt for emergency medical services but they always need written verification of the medical services provided to veterans at civilian hospitals. Also I asked for written verification by mail to avoid identity theft because earlier this year my debit card information was stolen and I had to file reports with FTC and local law enforcement. The actions by Ability Recovery was harassing in nature by the repeated phone calls and vindictive by reporting me to the credit reporting agencies because I was trying to work with them to get this debt paid. Thank you for your assistance on this matter.

I received multiple calls in one day, and per the caller, I was being sent to a collection from an unknown medical visit, to which I have heard nothing about from 4 years ago. I said the debt is NOT mine and that they were harassing me by calling me multiple times. the man speaking to me threatened me and told me I was wrong. I informed them that I am protected by law for surprise billing and to contact my congressman, the man did not know what a congressman was. I questioned his authority and that he was even a legitimate citizen of this country. he belittled me by saying that XXXX XXXX, who passed this law along with my congressman, was not to be called XXXX. I told the man I was not going to argue with him about this and that if he called me anymore and did not let this go, I will file harassment against him. I then got a letter saying it is in collection and this company is Ability recovery services, in XXXX XXXX for {$340.00} I also would like to add that if this was a real bill that belonged to me, why did it take 4 years to be brought to my attention? Also, it says the company claiming I owe them from something 4 years ago, I have never done any business with.Why would I try to work something out with either of these companies when I don't even believe that this is my debt? I have Identity Theft affidavits on file both with my state and through the Federal level. How do I know if someone tried to falsely use my identity. Is this even a legitimate medical bill? Explain to me how XXXX XXXX XXXX is associated with a medical bill? I have never heard of such a place. I asked Ability Recovery to give me an itemized bill for this claim and they did not provide it to me. Who would pay a bill that sounds like some sort of extortion mafia who can not even prove that a bill belongs to me or what it is for. This reeks of FRAUD!!

In XXXX of this year, I saw where I had a couple of medical collections on my credit report. One for {$170.00} and one for {$200.00}. Both of these collections were with the same collection agency called XXXX. I called in XXXX and I paid both of these accounts even though I had no idea they ever existed. In the beginning of XXXX of this year, I noticed these two collections along with another collection for {$470.00} suddenly reported with a new collection agency named Ability Recovery Services. Myself and my wife have called Ability Recovery and we've provided proof that the collections have been paid. This was done almost 2 weeks ago. When I first sent in the letter to show the account was paid in full, they responded asking me for the account number even though the account number from the original creditor was on the letter showing the account was paid in full. At that time I didn't have the full account number for Ability Recovery because it was listed on XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX doesn't show the account numbers. My wife called everyday last week asking if they could escalate this because we are in the middle of trying to purchase a home and these collections suddenly reporting have caused scores to drop. Noone at this company was helpful or attempted to escalate the problem for a quicker resolution but instead told my husband on yesterday that it would take another 60 days for a resolution. We do not have 60 days and this is not our error. We paid these accounts as soon as we knew they existed and they should've never made it into Ability Recovery office. With the way the interest rates are rising, we don't have 60 days to wait for them to take their sweet time investigating information. There is nothing to investigate. I clearly sent them a receipt showing the accounts had been paid in XXXX.

I am writing to file a complaint against Ability Recovery Services Collection Agency who has failed to investigate fraudulent accounts opened under my name at a school that I've never attended. This school is an online program which I have never attended nor signed up for education. They have added ( 2 ) account to all ( 3 ) credit bureaus and even after sending proof of police reports and identity theft, as well as disputing these accounts, they have failed to remove them from my credit reports. The accounts are {$370.00} and {$460.00} and are hurting my ability to obtain credit. I have been since XXXX when someone used my identity to file a fraudulent income tax. I have also lost a wallet containing all of my personal information back in XXXX. I did not sign up for any educational services with XXXX XXXX as I am a current XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX University and have been since summer XXXX, enrolled in a XXXX program which requires a XXXX XXXX, which I obtained in XXXX from XXXX University where I initially enrolled in XXXX of XXXX. This can be verified thru the XXXX XXXX XXXX or by contacting either university directly. With that being said, I have absolutely no reason to sign up for any services with XXXX XXXX as Id already had ( 2 ) XXXX degrees ( during the time youre stating I was enrolled at this school ) and will be graduating soon with a XXXX XXXX. There is absolutely no way I could have combined universities with the workload I carried during my XXXX classes at XXXX University as I was already a XXXX XXXX taking XXXX credits per term. Whoever signed up for classes with this school did so in a fraudulent manner. I am requesting that this agency investigate this matter and correct this as soon as possible as this is hurting my ability to obtain employment in my field of degree.

Ability Recovery Services acquired a collection account from XXXX XXXX which claimed that I owed them {$410.00}. I have since contacted XXXX XXXX , requesting debt validation, the company mailbox is closed, and the account is also closed. In XXXX XXXX , Ability Recovery Services offe red to settle the account at a 20 % discount. On XXXX XXXX , XXXX , I paid {$330.00} via credit for a debt your firm claimed that I owed. On XXXX XXXX , XXXX , I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , with reference account # XXXX , and the same creditor of XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX , stating I owe them {$82.00}. That account number of # XXXX is the same account number listed on a letter I received fro m Ability Recovery Service on XXXX XXXX , XXXX . Now, if I paid Ability Recovery Services w hy is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX attempting to collect the balance of the same debt for the same creditor? Ability Recovery Services is refusing to remove this item from my XXXX credit reports and holding me accountable for {$82.00}. XXXX XXXX sold the account t o Ability Recovery S ervices, transferring my information without my knowledge. Ability Recovery Services s hould have proof of this debt, to provide me. I requested a debt validation, and as on XXXX XXXX , XXXX , the company has failed to response to my notice. I have a copy of the digitally certified mail delivery proof showing my registered letter was delivered. All I am asking for is the proof of the debt, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, I am entitled to this proof. If they do not have this proof, they will need to refund me back my money, and I will seek legal actions.

On XX/XX/2018 I filed a complaint very much similar to this same complaint with this exact company wth exact amount and account number. I requested debt validation and to have this removed from my credit file untl futher notice or the amount alleged that is owed was paid. On XX/XX/2018 the company responded with the following statement " The matter has been placed in a properly disouted status along with credit reporting bureaus. We have requested from our client XXXX, the itemized Bill and Signed Admission Form for consumers review. '' Subsequently the item was removed from my credit file as per my request. On XX/XX/2018 The item has been once again added to my credit file which has caused my credit score to drop significantly which displeases me tremendously. First I thought the companies wording " The matter has been placed in a properly disputed status ... '' was a play on words. There was never any intention of verifying this debt with me and it was simply a bid for additional time to once again add it to my credit file I have attached a copy of the previous complaint dated XXXX, XXXX Complaint # XXXX Under the circumstances I now am requesting this entire file be deleted from my all reporting credit reporting bureaus and closed. If not I will be forced to contact an attorney for violation of FDCRA. I was told I would receive information regarding this debt and I have NOT. I was told it would be removed from my credit file and it has NOT. I am now saying that this will be my last request that I process for FREE. Any additional complaints will be charged to Ability Recovery Services at a rate of no less than {$120.00} per hour with a mininum of 1 hour or {$120.00} charge. At this point I am NOT requesting for verification, I am demanding a Total Deletion.

Ability Recovery Services contacted me by phone several times, the most recent being XX/XX/XXXX for a debt owed to XXXX University. As of XX/XX/XXXX this debt has been fully paid to XXXX University through their online portal payment system. As a result, the balance with the University has been satisfied and is no longer owed. I spoke with XXXX XXXX and another rep who identified herself as XXXX XXXX on Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX and XXXX. I notified the collector that I had made a payment with XXXX University via their online system in the amount of {$1600.00}. These payments were made on XX/XX/XXXX for {$300.00} and XX/XX/XXXX for {$1300.00} and covered the total debt I had with the University. The representative was very short with me and extremely rude. She hung up on me and denied me access to speak with a supervisor regarding my account. I inquired about the process for removing the account from credit report once the balance has been paid. The representative stated that the account will first report as paid in full and then two weeks later it will be removed from all three credit reports. I asked could I get a statement in writing confirming this and she noted that Ability Recovery Services would not be able to furnish a written statement. I have repeatedly asked to escalate mt concerns to a supervisor and the representative continued to say " I am not going to go back and forth with you or transfer you ''. The representative has noted that unless I am calling to make a payment she will not speak to me. I also have reason to believe that the representative who identified herself as XXXX XXXX, lied about her name. Based on the voicemails I have received from " XXXX '', her voice and accent sounds exactly the same.

I applied to enroll at XXXXXXXX XXXX XX/XX/16 and completed document submission on XX/XX/16. On XX/XX/16 they received theofficial transcript from my previous university. On XX/XX/16 I submitted the XXXX XXXX Mastery Promissory Note ( MPN ) XXXX XX/XX/16 I received an email that said my payment was past due. I spoke with someone in the Financial Aid office and was told to disreard the email as i had just completed the MPN. Classes began on XXXXbut i was unable to attend or even begin the classes. Because of this I sent an email to my academic advisor about dropping and unenrollin. On XX/XX/16 I received an email from my academic advisor that said I could drop and unenroll because I had not participated by simply replying to the email. I replied to email on XX/XX/16 and was unenrolled and withdrawn from the course.On XX/XX/16 I received an email to complete the Student Loan Exit Counseling Request and completed it on that same day. Per the Department of Education the loan was closed with a XXXX balance. I never received any correspondence that there was outstanding debt until XX/XX/16 and the account was then sold to Ability Recovery Service ( ARS ) in the amount of {$6700.00}. ARS placed this debt on my credit report in the amount of {$8100.00}. I have requested a validation of this debt directly from ARS by certified letter including the MPN with my signature and they only send an itemized sattement of the classes totaling {$6700.00}. I have since learned that ARS is not registered in my state to collect debt. I have also disputed the item with the credit agencies and ARS keeps validating the debt with them. I am filing this formal complaint as this is not a valid debt and should not be reporting on my credit profile.

Hello I have a Collections company named Ability Recovery Service on my XXXX & XXXX XXXX reports. I disputed this account on XX/XX/XXXX, sent a certified letter with a Debt Validation Request on XX/XX/XXXX, the letter was delivered to the companies post office subs the address is a PO Box XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX. The company claims I owe this debt but I know I dont because I never heard of the original creditor XXXX XXXX. The collections company keeps actively flagging my credit report for collections from XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX. After the opening a complaint with Ability Recovery Services local XXXX. They Ability Recovery first stated that the client XXXX XXXX recalled the account on XX/XX/XXXX. However I have proof the account remained on my credit report after. Since they flagged my report in XXXX, Ability Recovery Service then responded that same again except they added their client XXXX XXXX sent the debt back to them in which they placed it back on my report on XX/XX/XXXX. Now I must be missing something or can Ability Recovery Service explain. If the debt was removed on XX/XX/XXXX and placed it back on my report on XX/XX/XXXX, how could I have disputed it on XX/XX/XXXX, mailed a letter on XX/XX/XXXX and the letter arrived at their post office on XX/XX/XXXX? They also tried to same that the account # on the report was new from XX/XX/XXXX but if you look at the pictures in include the account number goes back to XXXX. Also if I actually owe this debt to XXXX XXXX why did XXXX XXXX recall it. Why is Ability Recovery Service lying so much about the account? Why? Ill tell you why because I dont owe the debt I never heard of XXXX XXXX or Ability Recovery Service until the day XXXX checked my XXXX & XXXX XXXX reports.

Dear CFBP Officers : I am writing you to complaint about an illegal or even a fraudulent debt collection attempt by Ability Recovery Services LLC and thus destroying my credit history which is denying me credit opportunities and this fact is even more exacerbated by this trying times. - First of all, this company never notified me in writing that I owe any debt to them. This a clear FDCPA violation. - Without any notice to me they send such fraudulent information to credit reporting agencies. This a clear FDCPA violation. -Failed to send me a validation of debt which is a clear FDCPA violation. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus and collection agencies are obligated to report only 100 % accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information is reported is completely accurate, correct and belong to the right person. Clearly Ability Recovery Services LLC has failed in reporting my credit file accurately. Therefore, the following information bellow must be removed as soon as possible. I respectfully request that you provide me the proof that these items belong to me and were authorized with an instrument bearing my signature and supported with IDs and any other legitimate supporting documents. Failing to prove that, unauthorized, inaccurate and most likely fraudulent items must be removed from my file immediately : 1. ABILITY RECOVERY SEVICE - Account number XXXX I also need to inform you that in XXXX, I notified all 3 credit reporting agencies and CFBP that similar attempt was made and investigation by credit reporting agencies proved that I never authorized such a purchase or service and was removed immediately from my credit report.

The company that called me was Ability Recovery Services. I left several messages for a supervisor to return my call. On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX the phone # XXXX called me and they hung up when I answered the phone. On the XXXX I called the number back and they gave me my name and an address asking me to verify the information. I told them they needed to identify themselves before I gave them any information and she hung up on me. I figured it was a scam. On XXXX XXXX I received a call where the caller did the same thing- say my name and an address and asked me to verify that information without identifying themselves at all. When I told her I would not give her any information until I knew who she was she identified her company as a debt collection agency ( did not give the name ) - and did finally say her attempt to collect a debt disclaimer. She quickly listed 2 debts and became rude when insisting that I needed to pay them immediately. When I told her that it was the first time I had heard about these particular debts and I was not ready to pay them today she said to me " It 's not like it 's going to matter, your credit is terrible anyway if you want to know what they are check your credit report next month, '' and she hung up on me again. I called the number back immediately and asked to speak to a supervisor. I was told that a supervisor was not available, but I could leave my name and number and someone would call me back. They did not. On XXXX XXXX I called again to speak to a supervisor. The person that answered the call put me on hold and then picked up the phone again and gave the name XXXX XXXX but it was OBVIOUSLY the same person I had just spoken to.

When applying for a new credit card on XX/XX/XXXX, I was declined and advised of a recent collections entry on my XXXX and XXXX credit reports. There is a collection showing for {$650.00} from Ability Recovery Services referencing XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. This was the first I had heard from either company. I contacted Ability Recovery Services via the XXXX, since I was afraid this was some sort of scam and didn't want to contact them directly. I advised them on XX/XX/XXXX that I would like some sort of proof regarding this alleged debt and that I had not received anything from them via writing or phone call as is required under federal law under the FDCPA. Ability Recovery Services sent me a letter on XX/XX/XXXX with a copy of a non-itemized statement from XXXX XXXX XXXX showing a balance of {$650.00} as past due with a different date of service, XX/XX/XXXX. This does not serve as verification of the debt as there is no indication as to what services were rendered or that I have agreed to pay any such services. They did not send this within the 5 day timeframe as required by FDCPA 809. This is not my debt. I received no services from XXXX XXXX XXXX on either XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX and I am concerned that the company has provided differing dates to different organizations. Ability Recovery Services has not only failed to provide the required notice prior to placing collections activity on my credit report, but they have failed to provide itemized debt validation as well as failed to respond within the 5 day period required by law. This needs to be removed from my credit report immediately or I will be seeking legal remedy up to the maximum allowed by law.

Received phone call from Ability Recovery Services ( XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX. Also received calls on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. The company claims that I owe a debt to the XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$100.00} from XXXX. The first time I had any phone contact with this company was on XX/XX/XXXX. At that point, they made a claim that they had sent me multiple letters since XXXX attempting to collect this debt. I have received none of them. I told them I was able to make arrangements to settle the debt on XX/XX/XXXX. I did not give them any credit card information. On XX/XX/XXXX I called XXXX XXXX XXXX personally. The person I spoke with said according to their records my account did not show any outstanding balance and that my information was never forwarded to a debt collection agency. Also on XX/XX/XXXX, Ability Recovery Services attempted to contact me and left a voicemail because I was unable to answer the call. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received another phone call from this company ; this time with a very threatening tone. The woman I spoke to began by telling me that I owe this money and that I should " stop lying about not receiving any of their letters. '' She also threatened to add it to my credit report and refused my request for a certified letter. In addition, she made disparaging remarks about my financial situation and told me I " was a scam. '' She also refused multiple requests for information necessary to dispute said claim. Finally, on XX/XX/XXXX, I once again reached out personally to the XXXX XXXX XXXX. Once again, I was reassured that my account was up to date and no further action had been taken against me in regards to my account going into collections.

On XXXX/XXXX/15, I contacted ARS ( Ability Recovery Services ) and spoke with a XXXX XXXX to discuss a settlement request for less than the balance owed. At that time I was informed that my balance could be reduced by {$340.00} and I declined and informed her that I could not pay that amount but could pay {$1000.00} as my offer was also declined. I further informed her that I would be making several payments towards the {$1000.00} and we discontinued the call. XXXX XXXX, 2015, I received a voice mail message from XXXX XXXX asking for a return call. I called and spoke with another representative explaining my situation and he asked me did XXXX ask me/offer monthly payment arrangements and I told him no and he then transferred me to her. I asked the reason for her call BECAUSE I NEVER GAVE HER PERMISSION TO CALL ME and she stated that she wanted to verify if I was still going to make a payment. I informed her that I did not give her permission to call me and reiterated our last conversation and she then began to display her ignorance by raising her voice and being sarcastic, accusing me of not wanting to make a payment, and I became upset and also displayed my ignorance. She hung up the phone and I called back to speak with a supervisor and they transferred me back to her and the argument started again. If I never had any intentions on paying my debt ; why would I contact them? I refuse to be bullied by a debt collector or anyone else for that matter and the lack of respect, professionalism, and harassment is unacceptable. I never made an agreement to pay a certain amount or within a certain timeframe and I specifically informed them not to contact me by phone.

On XX/XX/2021, Ability Recovery Service responded stating they sent documents to validate this alleged debt, which was never received. However, Ability Recovery Service still did NOT send me any of the documents that I requested about this alleged debt. The forms they submitted was not validating the debt and because they refuse to send the documents I requested, this account needs to be deleted from all of my consumer reports. 15 US CODE 1692g Validation of debts Notice of debt ; contents Within five days after the initial communication with a consumer in connection with the collection of any debt, a debt collector shall, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the consumer has paid the debt, send the consumer a written notice containing ( 1 ) the amount of the debt ; ( 2 ) the name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed ; ( 3 ) a statement that unless the consumer, within thirty days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector ; ( 4 ) a statement that if the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, the debt collector will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment against the consumer and a copy of such verification or judgment will be mailed to the consumer by the debt collector ; and ( 5 ) a statement that, upon the consumers written request within the thirty-day period, the debt collector will provide the consumer with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor.

XX/XX/XXXX I mailed collection company certified letters disputing debt and asked to see documents showing that I owe the debt. I received nothing except a bill I sent a second letter XX/XX/XXXX I sent a second letter Based on what The bureau says I should ask regarding debt collection Original furnisher, Contract they own debt etc. 45 days went by and I received nothing except a bill from them from their client a data furnisher. I personally contacted the original company they said that they did not work or deal with debt collectors. And that I was not in a position they could speak to me do to HIPAA This is not proper debt collection or debt validation practices. The company also sent me a medical record which was a HIPAA violation My father never signed a release. Also my father passed away around that time. I have tried to tell these collection companies this. We had the same name. I noticed on the bills they had his old addresses on them not mine. I am assuming they did a search and randomly posted addresses to it. I can prove this by the attached consumer report from a smaller consumer reporting agency see attached this company ran my name a few times. I have not lived in Florida since XXXX My XXXX page can prove that as well. Also The medical records sent to me were for someone on life support its quit obvious its a mistake. However they have been notified of it and still refuse to remove according to what the law states They have also have had a history of removing and reinserting on my credit report. which is also illegal I should be notified and was never notified i have printed copies of credit reports from past 8 months

On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I received a call from XXXX XXXX of Ability Recovery Services LLC about a possible debt. She sent me a bill for the amount of {$400.00} and a letter notifying me I could dispute the charges. On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I replied to XXXX with fact information regarding the account in questions claims that I had paid for the services rendered. A few weeks later I received another call from XXXX that she could not validate the account. She also claimed that 'Store It All ' whom claims this debt was to submit her contract information which I had asked her to send me when she received it. On XXXX XXXX, 2015 while trying to refinance my home it was brought to my attention that Ability Recovery Services reported this so called debt to the credit bureaus without validating the debt. On the evening of XXXX XXXX I tried getting in touch with XXXX but spoke with a XXXX XXXX of Ability Recovery Services whom was verbally aggressive and refused to validate the debt and demand I just pay this debt. I will not tolerate this abusive behavior from any business. I strongly believe Ability Recovery Services is in violation of the FDCPA and needs to be investigated. On XXXX XXXX, 2015 XXXX XXXX from ARS LLC returned a call I made and made me aware she has take over this debt and XXXX is no longer there. XXXX also gave me a hard time about validating the debt and I advised her of violating the FDCPA. I explained to her she legally has to provide proof of validation. She told me " that it will remain on my credit report and I have to pay the debt '' and then she hung up on me like everyone else there when I strongly ask for debt validation.

I am in the receipt of your company 's letter informing me you are handling the collection of this account. However, after reviewing my records, I am unable to find any documentation of any contractual relationship between ( ARS LLC ) and me which makes you a person entitled to enforce a commercial claim against me. This letter is not a request for verification or validation. This is a request for proof of contract to substantiate your claim. Provide me with a certified copy of an original contract, with my signature, specifically naming your company as a person entitled to enforce a commercial claim against me. Certification can be done through the presence of a notary public, who duly swears the copy made is in fact a copy of the original paper contract in question. Failure to respond and provide strict proof of contract will constitute your tactic agreement that you, ( ARS LLC ), are not entitled to enforce a claim against me. In the event you continue your collection efforts against me without providing proof of contract, I will file a complaint with the Attorney General and FTC, and file a police report against your for harassment and invasion of privacy. You have 30 days to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collections efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. If you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, he/she will immediately reported to the State Bar Association and Professional Liability Fund for code of ethic 's violations.

XX/XX/19 : I was contacted by XXXX XXXX of Ability Recovery Services at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, PA XXXX. In the first phone call, she said the call was from a debt collector and told me the call would be recorded. She told be an amount over {$600.00}, which was to my knowledge, above the initial creditors amount due. I asked about it to which she responded that this is the amount due. I told her Id call the creditor, to which she said they will just have me call her back and hung up. I called back on the same date XX/XX/19, and the call was immediately answered by her, and without anything else she said, XXXX I have to call you back Im taking a payment. And she hung up on me. She called me back a couple minutes later and did not identify herself as a debt collector and that the call was being recorded. She was extremely rude, told me if I had just paid in the first place, continued to raise her voice, and claimed I was making demands when I was asking for the business name and address. I kindly asked for a validation of debt, and she said I was using stalling techniques and trying to make me feel as if I was being unreasonable in my request to ask for debt validation. I asked for the address and name of the business and was provided the information. She then began to say you dont have to be such a ... and then I couldnt hear anything else. I said excuse me, what did you say? And she says oh Im still here. She attempted to verify my address and couldnt say it because, per XXXX, she doesnt speak Spanish and claimed I was picking on her when I said that she couldnt pronounce it and was going to offer to pronounce it for her.

The collection agency received a debt from my college that was supposed to be paid by financial aid. I called this morning. Without verifying my information ( other than my name ), the collector gave me the information, and then was very verbally abusive, rude, and even threatened to end the call. She refused to send me information stating that she would delete from my credit report even though she advised that she would over the phone. I advised her that she had been calling a number that was similar to my mothers number, but not hers. ( I have had the same number for 13 years ) she advised that I should have updated the information with the school. I tried to explain that I already had my degree and that I did n't know I needed to update the information. I never expressed a problem paying just wanted to have proof that what she said would happen would happen before I paid and that I had record since correspondence and calls were apparently going to the wrong place. She was very hostile. She refused to let me talk to someone else. she threatened to hang up in my face. She told me that she could email me if I paid when I asked for something while on the phone she started yelling at me for my address. I tried to redirect a few times to calm the call and she continued abusing me and threatening to hang up because I was not going to have it my way. I advised her that I was a bill collector and she advised me that I should know the fdcpa or something of that sort. Her name was XXXX and we spoke today at between XXXX and XXXX am today. I tried to explain that this was supposed to be paid by financial aid.

Ability Recovery Service XXXX has called me far too many times that it is bordering on harassment and they refuse to listen to any explanation I give them because all of my student loans are in repayment plans. However they Say that they represent XXXX for a repayment of a loan that is in a repayment plan, and every time they call me they are rude and unwilling to accept the truth and their calls end with threats and an abrupt hanging up on me. And I have Explained to them many times that my student loans are in repayment plans but they refuse to listen to that or accept it - they say I am playing games and then threaten legal lawsuits. And, I do n't know why they have this but I have heard that this company buys accounts that have passed the Statute of Limitations in order to make false claims in order to make people believe that money is owed and collect money that is not owed under false pretenses. In Addition I am not even sure what loan they are talking about because they do not specify the debt type or the amount all thy said is that they had this since XXXX of 2015 and my student loans have been in repayment plans long before this time, so something is not right about this company because of the claims they make and the harassment and threats because a Professional or legitimate business would not harass or threaten people and they would be willing to listen to you instead of dismissing anything you say as excuses, lies, or games, and I have spoken with XXXX before a they said that Ability Recovery Service is not a company the school uses because they have their own service for that purpose.

I contacted the company after numerous contact from the company to asked them why they were sending a dent collection. i also stated that i did not take any course from them after the 1st attempt. They continued to state that i will have to pay the dollar amount owed. The gentleman whom i spoke with around earlier months XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/2019 stated that i needed to pay the dollar amount. A few months later i contacted the agency after all contacted me, to asked me to pay for the dollar amount owed. ( i never saved their number ) which is why I wanted to know who was calling me i spoke with ARS - XXXX XXXX who stated that I was responsible for a XXXX $ and XXXX . i was willing to set a payment plan. Though I explained that i was not responsible for the debt because i never finished the course and i made the payment twice when i was still taking the course. ARS XXXX XXXX stated that i needed to set up a payment plan. In the process of cleaning my credit, i felt obligated to set it up. Then i had family obligations which affected my ability to follow through with payments. I contacted the company and asked for an extension and XXXX XXXX refused. I should not pay for a full amount that i did not use. That is not ok. Today on XX/XX/2019. Ability Recovery rep XXXX XXXX contacted me and stated that i was a liar and she is seeing that i am challenging the items. I do not think that she has the right to contact me and use such obscene language towards me. Whether i am challenging the account or not, she should not determine my actions towards the false claim that is hurting my credit unnecessarily.

I called Ability Recovery Services Llc, on XX/XX/XXXX because I have alerts set up concerning my credit report due to identity theft. I asked to speak with a supervisor and advised them that this isnt a valid debt and please remove this from my records. The supervisor XXXX then asked me to send proof and I did and he said he can have it removed the same day. After spending {$15.00} faxing and printing paperwork for them, I called to see if they received it and they said yes. I asked how long will it take to show as removed and he advised me to call and check at the end of the month because they report once a month. I called today XX/XX/XXXX and asked to speak with a supervisor and I explained my situation and the agent was very rude and stated that supervisors don t just come to the phone. I called back again and got another agent who hung up on me and said they mailed me an updated bill, and then finally after calling a few times I got a professional agent who got me in touch with XXXX when the other agent stated he was out of the office. I also told XXXX that his agents arent professional and he said he will deal with that and apologized. He also stated that his client hasnt responded back yet and to call in another week. I dont feel I should have to wait this long on a fraudulent account and I never did business with either companies. This company is very unprofessional and they feel as if they dont have to follow the laws. I can say that XXXX was nice, but his whole staff needs to be re trained and they need to remove this fraudulent account immediately because its really affecting my credit.

XXXX XXXX calls and leaves voicemails at least once per week. On XX/XX/2022 at XXXX EST, XXXX XXXX called and I answered. She informed me she was calling to collect on a debt from XXXX XXXX and asked if I wanted to setup payment arrangements. I said no and asked her to send me records of the debts. She said the company would not send me anything, that Ive been disputing the account for years and began calling me names and screaming. She hung up. I called back and asked her to add me to the do not call list and to instead communicate via written letters. I asked her what address she had on file and to update it with my current address. She again began calling me names and yelling telling me to not call her place of employment again. She then hung up after refusing to update the account per my request. I called back and she hung up. I called again and she answered and threatened to sue me if I called again, then hung up. I called again and this time was met by a supervisor. I repeated my request in accordance with the FDC act and he said he would add my number to the list. I asked to make a complaint against XXXX XXXX and he said the office was closing up for the day. I do not own this debt. Ive supplied the credit bureaus with proof that the debt is resolved with the original owner of the debt and the collection was removed. Please see attachments. I was offered a reduced tuition payment and I accepted. My student status was then restored without restriction. The collection is not being reported to any of the 3 credit bureaus but this company continues trying to collect.

Your company broke the law!!!! Your company is in violation of the following subsection of the Fair Credit Reporting Agency. Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 the accuracy and fairness of credit reporting. Congress makes it clear that the banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. Pursuant to 15 USC 1681a ( 3 ) Consumer reporting agencies have ASSUMED a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers. Ability Recovery Service assumed this role and because of your assumption, you have negatively affected my life and caused hardship. 15 USC 1681b. Congress also makes it clear, any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : Pursuant to 15 USC 1681b ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. I did not give this company written instructions to furnish anything on my consumer report. As a consumer reporting agency, Ability Recovery Service used my consumer report for monetary fees, dues that regularly engages in whole or in part in the practice of assembling or evaluating consumer credit information or other information on consumers for the purpose of furnishing consumer reports to third parties, and which uses any means of interstate commerce for the furnishing consumer reports.

I received a letter dated XXXX XXXX 2017, and called the Ability Recovery Services LLC to pay the debt. The original amount was {$69.00}, and they sent me a collections notice for {$83.00}. I called to pay the {$83.00}, and was told they already sent my account to collections. I paid the " {$83.00} '' and completed my call. After a couple minutes the receipt came through on my email and they charged me {$88.00}. I called multiple times and the phone number no longer worked. I XXXX another number for them and called, and they told me that they charge everyone an additional {$5.00}, although they do not tell people. I was sent to multiple different people and they told me that the additional fees were not charged by them, but by the XXXX XXXX XXXX . After talking to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , she advised me they do not charge additional fees other than a late fee, which brought my account to {$71.00} and some change, and that the other fees were the collection agency. I told the collection agency that I did not authorize an additional {$5.00} fee to be charged to my credit card, and no representative told me they would charge my card an additional fee. After being passed around and put on hold for a lmost 20 minutes, they finally told me everyone was out of the office for the day and to m aybe try calling back tomorrow. Charging my card for an unauthorized amount is illegal, and it is not my fault that their representative failed to tell me there were additional fees on top of the fee that was sent in the collection notice.

I previously reached out to credit bureaus in regards to this item. Every time is stayed as verified. I contacted you guys CFPB a few weeks ago and you closed out case because they responded. The issue is the information that was sent to me was not valid. 1. The address this on what they sent me which looks like an application was from an address that never was associated with me. 2. The signature there isnt one listed. There is not a personal signature only shows electronic. I have rights and there this isnt legal proof. There should be a signature that shows prof that it is my account. Also the bank account numbers that show on document had never been associated with me either. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 1 : USC 1692g Sec 809 ( b ) that your claim that I owe you money is disputed, and validation is requested. Under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, I have the right to request validation of the debt you say I owe you. I am requesting proof that I am the correct party, and there is some contractual obligation which is binding on me to pay this debt. This is NOT a request for verification via XXXX or proof of my mailing address, but a request for VALIDATION made pursuant to the above named Title and Section of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Reporting inaccurate and unsubstantiated information to a credit reporting agency may constitute fraud under federal law. Compliance with this request is required under the laws of state and federal statutes. There is no proof that this is my account and this company is violating my rights.

On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Ability Recovery LLC in regards to a medical debt on my credit report. According to Ability Recovery I had an unpaid medical bill of {$100.00} which was the same amount that was reporting on my credit report. I spoke with a agent ( guy ) who told me that if I pay the debt now it can be deleted from my credit report. I agreed to pay the debt in return for a written letter stating that debt will be deleted once paid in full. The agent agreed to send the letter via email to XXXX stating that debt was paid in full for deletion. In XX/XX/XXXX I viewed my XXXX credit report and noticed that Ability Recovery LLC was still reporting the debt so I filed a dispute through XXXX but the results only revealed that the account was updated to paid in full but not deleted. I continued to call Ability Recovery LLC to request that they delete the debt from the credit bureaus and each time i called a rep will say they already sent it to be deleted but as of now it still shows on my credit report as a paid in full collection. Ive contacted XXXX to dispute multiple times and I even sent it the email that I received from Ability Recovery llc saying that debt was paid in full for deletion but they too refuse to delete it. I dont understand how a recorded and monitored conversation on XX/XX/XXXX is not being used in the manner that it was discussed on that call. I am left to seek legal counsel if this collection from Ability Recovery Llc is not deleted from my credit report as agreed upon on XX/XX/XXXX.

XX/XX/2009, I went through a divorce my husband took everything. Looking to better myself I signed for some online courses. Came across the online school XXXX XXXX. I spoke with a representative, ask questioned like was the school accredited?. All my questions were answered falsely. They told me school was accredited. Signed up and I found out the next day, that the school was not accredited. I was not happy about that and I called to cancel my classes. I was told that my classes would be cancelled since I have been in classes for less than 7 days. They told me I could withdraw as long as XXXX % of the course work was not completed. If I recall correctly I only completed XXXX % of the work. I attended another local university and never logged on again. Now I am in a position to buy a home and this XXXX XXXX XXXX is on my credit report preventing me from doing so. I have called XXXX XXXX they told me they sold my account and have no information of my case. So I called the collection agency and they told me that they only have records of me attending for the one day noted above but they could not take it off my credit report and I need to pay them the XXXX. If I had in fact completed that course I would have no problems paying the money, But I did n't. Furthermore it 's really sad that organizations like this exists praying on the weak and less fortunate. Who in there right mind would spend time and money on a course that is not accredited and you will not be able to gain employment afterwards?

on four separate occasions totaling in 120 days or more, I have requested validation of this account. they have refused to send me any documentation regarding this account. This is in total violation of the FCRA. They have neglected to respond and remove this account for failure to respond my last letter is sent was along the line of ..... This letter is formal notice that you have failed to respond in a timely manner to my dispute letter, deposited by registered mail with the U.S. Postal Service on that date. Federal law requires you to respond within thirty ( 30 ) days, yet you have failed to respond. Failure to comply with these federal regulations by credit reporting agencies are investigated by the Federal Trade Commission ( see 15 USC 41, et seq. ). I am maintaining a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance. I further remind you that, as in Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., XXXX XXXX ( C.D.cal. XX/XX/1995 ), you may be liable for your willful non-compliance. Be aware that I am making a final goodwill attempt to have you clear up this matter. You have 15 days to cure. {$710.00} {$1300.00} THEY NEVER RESPONDED they also stated that the medical facility stated I authorized other medical providers to access my account. I informed them THAT THEY ARE NOT A MEDICAL FACILITY, THEY ARE A COLLECTIONS AGENCY. I ASKED THEM TO PROVIDE ME WITH THAT INFORMATION OF A RELEASE TO THEM AND THEY SAID THEY WOULDNT

I just seen a account from Ability Recovery Services LLC pop up on my credit report randomly one day ( Back in XXXX-XXXX of 2019 ). So a few months go by then I decided to write them a letter around XX/XX/XXXX or so XXXX ishh and let them know my concerns regarding the bill and I would like VALIDATION not Verification of the item on my credit report. They then sent me a letter back saying basically you owe this debt to us and we bought it from the original creditor XX/XX/XXXX. They then have an attached document to go with it showing some doctor or so they say I went to they claim, and just an amount? I then sent in a letter letting them know if thats the case they're violating HIPPA Law by releasing medical documents without a hippa release form and a suit will be filed by me and my attorney if it is not removed from my credit profile. Also detailing the guidelines under the FCRA. It's been 2 weeks with no response of validation, full break down of the bill, bill of sale, or proof of a Hippa Release form. The 2nd letter regarding the violation was sent out XX/XX/XXXX & received XX/XX/XXXX. Today is XX/XX/2019. 2 weeks from the day. I dont want to have to take legal action. And it's best for everybody if its just removed from my credit profile. If not I will sue for monetary damages, loss of wages, and legal/lawyer fees. I have just spoken with my Attorney today and we're ready to take all courses of action but would rather not to avoid senseless situations like this but will if need be.

I received a call from, Ability Recovery Services, reciting incorrect info. They asked for me to verify the last 2 digits of my social. They stated that the numbers were " XXXX '' which is incorrect. So I explained to them once again, that they are to delete this account from my credit report due to incorrect information. They then proceeded to state that the debt was for someone by the name of " XXXX ''. I do not know anyone by the name XXXX. I am not XXXX. I asked the supervisor I was speaking with how someone could absorb another 's debt as such. He stated that it could be a relative or child. I have two daughters neither of which are named XXXX. I also explained that this was another reason to remove this account completely, also that I need an email stating that they will remove it from my credit report. The response I was given was, '' We don't have the ability to do that ''. This is not the first call I've had with them in regards to this so called account. I have been hung up on before and left on hold for hours just for them to hang up. I advised them that I would be making a complaint against them in regards to this matter. The account number I was given is, # XXXX. According to XXXX ( the manager I spoke with ), there is two accounts attached to that number I was given. Both of which have the wrong social security number. XXXX is their contact number. As of writing this email I am yet to receive a dispute email from Ability Recovery Services, as promised by the manager.

I am writing to dispute the Ability Recovery Service XXXX in my file : This account has been in my report since I started working closely on improving my credit score. I was honestly surprised that this keeps on reporting inaccurately in my credit report because I dont recognize that account base on the report of Ability Recovery Service . Please know this letter will be sent thru certified mail on making sure that this account will no longer show in my credit report because of FCRA violations. Below are the violations reported : XXXX ) Date when the account was opened is inaccurate, reporting and violating the FCRA laws because I havent opened any account this year in the institutions mentioned above in my XXXX credit report, please provide in writing the agreement of this account. This type of manipulation puts me in financial harm as it shows that account in collections in my credit report. Attached to this file there is a copy of my XXXX Credit Report. XXXX ) The account doesnt show payment history or monthly transactions reporter. This manipulated my credit score intentionally as the report attached do not shows updates and changes in the account. XXXX ) No credit Limit at all, no higher balance and neither payments to the account. I have previously disputed this account on my credit report and you VERIFIED these to be 100 % accurate on my credit. 1681of the FCRA states if any information after reinvestigation is found inaccurate, the account must be DELETED!

On or around XXXX I was alerted by XXXX XXXX that I had a change to my credit. When I checked the change I was informed that Ability Recovery Service had added a collection to my credit report. I immediately contacted them about this collection. I explained to them that I spoke with XXXX a few months earlier and was denied the right to try and fix the issues. I was informed by one of the reps that because of the delinquency there was nothing they could do. I was not allowed to get on a payment plan or dispute it, or anything. So I submitted a disputed through XXXX XXXX and requested that they showed me evidence of them informing me of this debt. According, to the rep that was assigned my collection. XXXX did not submit supporting evidence to prove I owed them any money. In winter of XX/XX/XXXX I attended XXXX University, maybe two weeks into my program I emailed the academic advisor and informed her that the program was not for me. Instead of her dropping me immediately from the class because I was still within my grace period. She waited two weeks which caused my loans to have to be returned to lenders, and balances I was quoted when I called are totally different than the ones reported. XXXX XXXX the rep that is working on my collection contacted me directly and informed me that XXXX did not submit verification and the collection would be removed. However, now when I spoke with him hes trying to convince me that paying a debt that I do not owe is the best thing.

I deserved in XX/XX/XXXX that I had two accounts on my credit report from the same collection agency with two different accounts with different amounts. When I called the company I paid off one that I knew was mine and asked the company to provide documents on the second account so that I could verify if the account belongs to me, because I knew for fact it was not mine account.The company never sent me any documents but continue to report this debt to my file .This account was deleted on XX/XX/XXXX off my credit file. On XX/XX/XXXX this company turned around and reported this same collection as a new account, when in fact it's not new and the account is not mines. I understand that I have the right to validated information that is being reported on my file and I have did that, and I ask that you step in on this matter and figure out why they are reporting false information and have them provide poof of documentations for the account they reported. Also on the day of contact with this company they guy was very rude, they had my cell phone number programmed in their phone directory. I asked for documents again and the guy refused to send them to me. By law if this company can not provide documents for debts they place on people '' the collection is to be removed '', which was done. How is this company able to keep reporting collections that are removed due to their lack of documents be placed back on? This company is causing a disturbance to my credit file.

This company started reporting a debt they claim was owed to XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$670.00} I tried to ask the collection ( Ability Recoveries ) to provide proof of the debt along with any supporting documents from the original debtor the representative proceeded to argue with me and threaten to " get their money '' and that the debt was my debt, then proceeded to hang up on me. I called back and asked to speak with a manager and was told it would take 48 hours to speak with a manager or supervisor, I was then again hung up on and told to stop calling regarding this matter as " they were going to get the money they were owed '' I continued to demand to speak with a supervisor regarding the matter and was again hung up on several times. I called back 4-5 additional times and was hung up on each time and then eventually spoke with someone else who told me that the person who was constantly hanging up on me and threatening me was one of the managers. I informed them that i would be filing a complaint with reporting agencies and credit bureaus as this information had not been verified but was being reported on my credit as an open collection, however the debt has been more than 7 years old and I stated that to the collection agency and they continued to argue with me and hang up on me, i asked them to stop reporting the inaccurate information and they stated they would not do that as they had already verified the debt without my verification.

Received a letter from Ability Recovery Services LLC. I called and asked about the details of the debt. Spoke to XXXX XXXX, this debt doesn't belong to me but it's someone else. I asked him to mail me the information and told him that this debt is not mine & disputed it right away. He told me he will request the information & it will come as junk mail. That call was on XX/XX/XXXX lasted for 3 minutes & 19 seconds at XXXX Since he asked me to mail the information, I waited for good 10 days but nothing came in. I decided to make another follow up call on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX, call lasted 6 minutes 18 seconds. When I spoke to him, He seemed frustrated and said how come you haven't received it, it was mailed etc. I informed him that this is a follow up call for the documentation, that he is claiming i used medical services. He said, I will request again. I informed him clearly this is not my debt and i am disputing this no negative action should be taken till i receive the documentation. He agreed. On XX/XX/XXXX they reported it to my credit. My credit was exceptional. I lost XXXX points because of Ability Recovery services LLC. It takes lot of efforts to keep your credit history clean but companies like this mess up everything. This is not legal, I have proof of calls and call records with date and time. Better communication, patience, providing the documentation via email I am not receiving via mail. Don't put it on XXXX or send it like junk mail.

At the end of XX/XX/2019, I received a letter in the mail from Ability Recovery Service attempting to collect a debt, from XXXX XXXX for {$4300.00}, that does not belong to me. I never attended this school. This makes the second time that they have tried to collect on fraudulent debt. I sent them a police report a few months ago stating that my identity was stolen and they are now trying again but on a different account. Their letter clearly states that I have 30 days after receiving the letter to dispute the debt in writing. Their letter was dated for XX/XX/2019 and I received it a few days afterwards, however they went ahead and placed the item on my credit report before the 30 days are up. Today is XX/XX/XXXX and it was placed on my credit between XX/XX/2019 and XX/XX/2019. That is not 30 days. I did dispute the letter in writing that will arrive to them on tomorrow XX/XX/2019 ( delivery confirmation included ). I also left a message with XXXX XXXX at XXXX. I have not heard back from her. I called again on today XX/XX/2019 at XXXX cst and spoke with a representative that would not provide his name. Placing this item on my credit before receiving my dispute and before the 30 day deadline is very unprofessional and underhanded. Add this to them collecting on a fraudulent account is a recipe for disaster for any consumer. I am in the middle of buying a home and this wrongful action by XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX has dropped my scores drastically.

Hi there, Last year in XXXX I had joined the online college program through XXXX XXXX because I had previously went to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX online program. Right when the course started Covid had hit and I was working at XXXX so with covid our company took a big loss. We were all losing hours and i couldn't afford the program so I called and told them the pandemic was causing a shortage in my pay. So i needed to cancel the program this was so early in the start of my program I didn't receive any materials, books or anything for the course. I talked to a few people at the online campus about it to make sure it wouldn't affect my credit or name negatively and we were all under the influence that it wouldn't. A couple months after I received a bill from collections during the pandemic and it was XXXX dollars. For a course that I didn't even get to take .I called the school and they told me I could get it taken off of my credit. This debt is causing me troubles I can not apply for apartments or homes, I can not put my own car in my name I needed a cosigner because of the debt on my credit and it's putting my credit score lower than it needs to be I pay everything on time I have nothing else on my credit negative besides this. This is really starting to affect my life, I have a child and I have things that I need to provide like a home and a reliable car I can't apply for anything with this on my credit I am very frustrated with this situation.

I received a robo / spam call on XX/XX/2021. I called the number back, spoke to XXXX at Ability Recovery Services on XX/XX/2021 at XXXX pm and had the following conversation regarding the following collection account being reported by your Company to the Credit Reporting Agencies. In my conversation with XXXX, which she said was recorded, we talked about an account you are reporting on my Credit Report regarding the aforementioned account. I old her I do not know who she was and the alleged account is disputed in its entirety. XXXX told me to pay it in full or Ability Recovery Services will report and continue to report the account to the Credit Reporting Agencies even though the account is disputed in its entirety. No address or contact information was given to me to contact the original creditor other that the name of a hospital. I was not given any further assistance in resolving this matter by XXXX. When I explained to her my only other alternative was to file a complaint in court, serve your company, the hospital and the Doctor and she told me to go ahead. She also laughed and said go look at your credit report. I have contacted the Original Creditor by phone and they do not have any records they can forward me. The XXXX Practices of Ability Recovery Services use intimidation, threats and causes intentional damage to consumers like me in order to collect monies they do not even know are owed.

This collection company does n't abide by the laws set forth by the FDCPA and have made clear violations of FDCPA 809 ( b ). I was never contacted by this company regarding a debt they were collecting on. I found out by credit monitoring service that reported new collection activity. After reviewing my credit reports I disputed this collection account with the XXXX of the XXXX major credit reporting agencies ( XXXX and XXXX ) as XXXX was not reporting such account. Both disputes with XXXX and XXXX came back as verified so I sent a letter to Ability Recovery Services requesting validation of the alleged debt on XX/XX/2016. They failed to respond yet continued to update their collection status on XXXX and XXXX and even started reporting to XXXX. I had to file an initial complaint with the CFPB regarding their lack of response to my request and their continued reporting of alleged debt. They responded with their documentation and claimed that they mailed a response to me on XX/XX/2016. I never received such response. They attached the documents they claim they sent me and both documents are dated after XX/XX/2016. Regardless, their continued and new credit reporting and collection efforts occurred between the time they received my request for validation and the time they claim they responded to my request. I am hereby filing a complaint against this company for their violations of FDCPA 809 ( b ).

However, in my records, I am unable to locate documentation that they complied with this requirement, which is a violation of the FCRA & FDCPA. Also, ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICES failed to give me my " Mini-Miranda '' five days prior to placing this derogatory item on all of my credit reports, per Section XXXX07 ( 11 ) & FDCPA 809, Under 809. Validations of date and Mini-Mirandi under Section807 ( 1 ) ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICES failed to send me my initial communication before placing this alleged item on my credit reports further violating the FCRA, with {$1000.00} per violation ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICES is held liable as well for defamation and in the state of OHIO indebtedness with those of other creditors against an individual debtor or codebtors.

In 2015 I was going to a clinic for XXXX called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA and they told me they accepted the insurance i had at that time. I believe the main office is located on XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, PA XXXX. Soon after I started getting bills in the mail. So i talked to the reception lady up front and she told me it would be taken care of. I kept getting bills, so i questioned them again i was again told they would wipe the charges off my account since they wrongfully told me the insurance was being accepted. Soon after i quit going to the clinic. I now have 16 different accounts of {$240.00} that are in collections and is affecting my credit. I tried contacting the billing department for XXXX XXXX XXXX and there was no answer and nobody attempted to reach me back. I think this situation is completely wrong and I know of other patients that have ran into the same problem with the company. They are trying to charge me what my insurance should have paid but would not while telling me they were. I feel i was being told false information, I was told the problem was taken care of several times, and now it is affecting my credit and there is absolutely nothing i can do. The debt collection company doesnt want to hear anything about it and XXXX XXXX XXXX is such an unprofessional clinic it can not take care of a simple billing problem.

On XX/XX/XXXX a {$350.00} debt appeared on my credit report from Ability Recovery. I contacted the debt collector explain that I did not owe this debt as I was a XXXX patient and the originator of the debt was a hospital who had my XXXX information on file. Ability Recovery refused to help resolve this issue. As such, I contacted the hospital billing department and was advised they no longer had information regarding the debt so I contacted the phone number on the back of my XXXX card ( XXXX ) and explained the situation. The representative from XXXX/XXXX confirmed that I was covered by XXXX/XXXX on the date in question and instructed me to write a letter to XXXX XXXX explaining the situation and attach the information regarding the medical bill so that it could be researched. XXXX XXXX determined that on the date of service XX/XX/XXXX I was a CT XXXX XXXX XXXX recipient and that the provider in question was enrolled in CT XXXX. XXXX XXXX indicated in their response that the provider has been contacted and advised that they can not balance bill a CT XXXX recipient. I submitted the response from XXXX XXXX to the debt collector and filed a dispute with the credit bureaus, but all that happened is the debt collector confirmed a debt that I can not legally be billed. I am attempting to prepare for a house purchase and want this debt that I do not owe off of my credit report.

In XX/XX/XXXX Ability Recovery Services LLC placed debt on my credit report. I immediately contacted them to inquire what this debt was and why was it put on my report. When I spoke with them they stated it was an unpaid medical collection in the amount of {$1200.00} from XXXX. I told them I am not aware of any medical visit around that time and believe it was an error. They stated there was nothing I could do but pay for it! So in XX/XX/XXXX, I requested a debt verification letter giving me the details of this matter and to show proper proof that I agreed to pay them. Instead what I got was an alleged copy of a bill on another companies letterhead with private medical info on it. Not only did this letter NOT meet proper debt verification standards, but it also was NOT accompanied by a HIPPA release form. This is a violation in which I intend to file a lawsuit. I have since sent the same debt verification letter to the credit bureaus. As of today, Transunion is the only one that has removed this debt because it was unverified. I'm confused doesn't all 3 credit bureaus receive the same information?? So I am forced to file a complaint. This debt has NOT been properly verified and needs to be deleted from my credit report! Once this is done I am also requesting a deletion letter be sent stating that Ability Recovery Services LLC is no longer trying to collect on an invalid debt.

Ability Recovery Services has inserted this account on my report and have not sent me a dunning letter or any notification that they were attempting to collect a debt. This is in violation of my consumer rights. Additionally, this is a collection company of which I have never heard of nor ever did any business with them. How then are they reporting that I have a 1-month term with them? How do I have a balance and a past due balance with them when I have never heard of them. This account is inaccurate and unverifiable. It should be deleted from my report immediately. This company has not sent any not even 1 piece of information to my address. I only noticed this account on my credit report when I pulled it. If they sent me something to indeed prove this then why did n't they include it with their response. This company is lying and in direct violation of my rights. I sent them a letter on XX/XX/XXXX. How then did they send me a letter in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX yet they just reported this account in XX/XX/XXXX. It is obvious they are lying. I am requesting that this account be removed because they are in no way telling the truth. Had I received any documentation from them, I would have disputed prior to XX/XX/XXXX. I have a credit monitoring service that notified me on this day of this account being added ; hence, my reason for disputing with them in writing on XX/XX/XXXX.

On XX/XX/2020, I wrote a letter to Ability Recovery Services asking them to validate the debt they say that I owe. I sent a certified letter to them and it was received and left with an individual on XX/XX/2020 per the USPS tracking. They responded and sent back verification which is not what I requested. Per the FCRA, I have a right to request VALIDATION, which is documents that bear my signature binding me to the debt they say I owe. They never sent anything bearing my signature. Per FCRA, they must do this within 30 days or the item must be completely removed from all reporting bureaus. Please see my attached letter asking them to VALIDATE not VERIFY. Again, validation bearing my signature was never received. I have a right to have this negative item deleted from all my reports and I am requesting that this be removed ASAP as the law allows 30 days for removal. In addition, if you are a collection agency, you have to be licensed in the state where the debt incurred to even be able to collect funds from someone. Per XXXX, Ability Recovery Services , LLC is not licensed in the state of IL to collect on debts. These are two ( 2 ) reasons that I am asking this debt ( and anything associated with this company ) to be completely removed from all credit reporting agencies asap. Failure to do so will result in me exercising my legal right to pursue action against them.

I had filled out an auto loan application and was denied. So I went and checked my credit. On my credit was Ability Recovery Services who I have never ever heard of. They were saying they were collecting for a medical bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have never recieved a bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX because I am on XXXX and the XXXX program. My XXXX should of paid the invoice. So I called up Ability Recovery and a XXXX answered. She was so rude. I explained to her I have no record of them sending me an debt collection notice nor had I ever recieved a invoice from XXXX XXXX. She told me to bad and that if I would take care of my bills then I would not have to worry about Debt Collectors. She kept interupting me. I also tried to tell her that according to there record the bill was a new bill and I believe there is a no surprise act toward medical bills. The XXXXXXXX XXXX can not turn over to a collection agency until they send me a bill I believe it is called the NO SURPISE ACT. I asked this XXXX to please provide me with a copy of the bill and a copy of the Debt Collection paper the sent me. She told me that I need to look around my house and find it and then she hung up on me. I am XXXX and I tell you this lady made me cry. .She really did. I noticed on some reviews of this place this lady is pretty awful to seniors. They want remove the debt from my credit reports.

XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX submitted a debt to collections that was paid by my insurance company. I spoke to my health insurance company and confirmed check # XXXX was sent to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/15 and cashed on XXXX/XXXX/15. I spoke a representative name XXXX with Ability Recovery Services in XXXX and explained the situation. She stated there is nothing she can do that XXXX XXXX XXXX has to close out the account. I spent two weeks attempting to reach a representative with XXXX and each time I called I received a voicemail with a recording stating the mailbox is full. I called back to Ability Recovery Service and spoke with XXXX who stated there is nothing she can do and that the account has to be closed by Advance Urgent Care. I advised her that is unacceptable and that she needed to do something about this. I told her that this is account is reporting on my credit and therefore affecting me in obtaining licensing needed for work. She said she " does not need to do anything '' and that she is " getting paid either way ''. I asked for her manager and she said " no '' she would only transfer me to the voicemail. I told her I will hold to speak with a manager. She said " that is not how it works '' and blind transferred me to the voicemail of XXXX XXXX. I left a voicemail message for XXXX XXXX the " manager '' and have not received a response at all.

Hello my name is XXXX XXXX DOB XX/XX/XXXX. Ability Recovery Services LLC ( XXXX ) contacted me on my cell phone. The first I heards of this debt was in XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX. I attempted to gather information regarding this debt ( {$1300.00}, account ID XXXX ) because I know very well what my family owes and this debt is not one of our debts. As I began to ask questions regarding the debt the representative told me this was a visit to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on the first few months of the year XXXX. I informed her I XXXX XXXX have not visited a medical place in XX/XX/XXXX much less located in XXXX XXXX. The representative then asked me are you not XXXX XXXX DOB XX/XX/XXXX and this was a visit to this clinic in XX/XX/XXXX???? I responded absolutely NO! She then began to ask me what my date of birth was and I was very suspicious of these people trying to pin this debt on someone with the same name so i did not offer any personal information ( please do not share any of my personal information to them ). I did state to them this was not my debt and i was not paying for it, her response was then will see what you 'll do when it gets on your credit reports. I am outraged at his company and how they are trying to pin this debt on me and i did not even get sick in XX/XX/XXXX and i have not visited an urgent care center or nothing alike in XX/XX/XXXX.

On XX/XX/2019 I received a letter from Ability Recovery Services , LLC in reference to an alleged debt with XXXX XXXX. I called Ability Recovery Services and informed them that this was not my debt, that I had never signed up for anything with XXXX XXXX, and I was not going to pay this debt. The CSR informed me that since my date of birth matched up with what they had in the system, that this was in fact my debt, and I would have to pay it. He further stated that XXXX XXXX would have " proof '' that I signed up and that because of that I would have to pay it. Once again I informed him that I never signed up for anything with XXXX XXXX, that I was the victim of ID theft and that this was not my account. The call ended with that, but that is not where it stopped. I got an alert from XXXX that a new " collection account '' was listed on my credit report. This collection account was listed by Ability Recovery Services, and has XXXX XXXX listed as the original creditor. This caused my score to drop my over 50 points. I filled out an ID theft affidavit, and I also went to the XXXX Township Police Dept. This is not my account, I want it deleted from all of my credit reports. I would file suit immediately in the XXXX Federal Court, but Ability is NOT registered with the state of Michigan and they have a history of default judgments in this district.

Ability Recovery Services is a debt collection Agency, located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX or XXXX. XXXX XXXX in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. The collect for XXXX XXXX located in XXXX The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX. Sometime last year 2017 around XXXX, I was considering attending XXXX XXXX for their travel program. My mom got deathly ill and I never started. Well I received a bill from Ability stating that I owed {$800.00} ( and some change ) to them on behalf of XXXX. I told them I never started so I did not owe anything. They said since I didnt cancell, I owed but I could settle for {$310.00}. So I paid the {$310.00} on XX/XX/XXXX ( which was before 30 days ), so it would not go on my credit report. Once I received my credit report it showed I owed {$800.00}. I called Ability to ask them for a receipt to be sent to me via email to show I no longer owe any money on this account # XXXX. My account rep began to say he could not remove the {$800.00} off my credit report and lied to me that I would receive a paid receipt. Luckily I paid with a credit card and can show proof. He refused to update my credit report with the damaging information and was very nasty and rude and hung up on me. I have filed a dispute but am filing a report for fraud. I work in the legal capacity and this company should be shut down. A lot of complaints from others.

This debt was previous disputed and removed by another collection company " XXXX XXXX '' because the original lender could not prove that I legally owed this debt, so after I disputed and resolve this debt. It was sold to another company " Ability Recovery Services '' and I ask then to do the same. XXXX did not do their due diligence in their investigation, if they did, then XXXX would have recognize that I disputed this debt before and it was removed cause the original creditor could not verify this debt and months later it was sold to another collection agency. I requested the collection agency 'Ability Recovery Services '' to provide me with several documentation : 1. What do I owe this money for? 2. Explain and show me how they calculated what they say I owe? 3. Provide me with copies of any papers that show I agreed to pay what they say I owe? 4. Provide me with any judgement, if applicable? 5. Identify the original creditor? 6. Prove that statue of limitations has not expired on this account? XXXX has said they verified this information. I believe they never contacted the original creditor and they never provide me with a letter or letters from the original creditor. I attached all the necessary documents as proof, to further prove that XXXX did not do their due diligence in verifying if this information is correct.

In XX/XX/XXXX, the debt collector threatened to add this medical debt on my credit file, and stated my score would go down. I inquired about the debt collector sending me Proof of the debt. I received the document and reached to the creditor. I advised due to the Presidents XX/XX/XXXX, Executive Order on strengthening access to affordable, quality health care coverage, that the debt could not be added to my credit file for 2 reasons : 1. The medical debt is under {$500.00} ( {$480.00} ) and that the collection agency has had the debt less than 6 months ( They received it in XX/XX/XXXX ). In the Executive order the President 's Administration also noted the following, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) will investigate credit reporting companies and debt collectors that violate patients and families rights and hold violators accountable. The CFPB has already issued a bulletin to prevent unlawful medical debt collection and reporting. A month before the Executive order was signed, the three largest credit reporting agenciesXXXX XXXXXXXX, and XXXXannounced that they will no longer include certain forms of medical debt on credit reports, removing XXXX of dollars in debt from consumer reports. This change covers borrowers with already paid debts, unpaid debts less than a year old, and debts paid or unpaid under {$500.00}.

A few months ago I noticed 4 fraud accounts on all 3 credit reports. I called all three CRA 's and they told me to file a police report if I think the accounts are not mine. I picked the police report up from the police department. I made copies and sent it to all CRA 's, I also included a statement saying that the fraud accounts are not mine, that they should be blocked immediately. XXXX and XXXX removed ALL fraud accounts, but XXXX started the '' dispute " process. The 4 Companies are Ars llc opened date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX opened date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX opened on XX/XX/XXXX and the fact that XXXX XXXX wrote a letter years back and had it notarized that he was responsible for this account and the fact that even with that XXXX still wouldn't assist with removing this debt the last company is XXXX XXXX date opened XX/XX/XXXX.

I have been disputing with a collection agency by the name of Ability Recovery Services that has reported a bill in the amount of {$870.00} to the credit bureaus that is inaccurate. The company was contacted numerous times in writing and by telephone. I had submitted certified letters to the company dating XX/XX/2019, XX/XX/2019, and XX/XX/2019 and the company has refused to reply to any of the correspondence within 30, 60, and now 90 days. In my letters to the company, I requested validation, made pursuant from the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act, to validate competent evidence bearing my signature, showing that I have ( or ever had ) some contractual obligation to pay Ability Recovery Services. And if this is a medical account, I have requested a copy of any HIPAA authorization that was allegedly provided by me. Also, I had informed them that any negative marks found on my credit reports ( including XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX ) from their company or any company that they represent, for a debt that I DON'T owe, is a violation of the FCRA & FDCPA ; therefore, if Ability Recovery Services can not validate the debt, they must request that all crediting reporting agencies delete the entry. Again, they have not sent any evidence nor have they responded to any of my letters.

I was alerted by my bank last year that this company put a collection on my credit report. I contcted the business they were collecting for, XXXX XXXX, and I was told that XX/XX/XXXX could not do anything to erase this report even though they had the wrong person ( me! ) I finally received a notice about 4 months ago and got a phone number. I called and talked to a " supervisor ''. I explained that they have me confused with my son. After checking social security numbers on the account, they confirmed it was not me. This liar of a lady assured me she was going to contact the credit bureaus and send me a confirmation letter stating that this was not me and it should be erased from my reports. I never received a letter, nor was it removed from my credit reports. I contacted them this past Monday, XXXX XXXX, 2016. I talked to this oh so pleasant lady. Once we confirmed that my Social Security number was no where in the system and I had nothing to do with the account of my sons, she told me it was not their problem to call the credit bureaus and have it removed. It was my problem. She proceeded to tell me I was a no good parent for not teaching my son to put XXXX at the end of his name and then she hung up on me when I got loud with her. This piece of horse dung company thinks they can bully people. Not me!!!

Today XX/XX/2020 I reached out to Ability Recovery to satisfy a debt. This debt was accrued due to false, misleading information from XXXX University which led to me attending classes. After learning of the misleading, false information I ended my relationship with the institution. At that time {$5000.00} was charged to my account. To prevent negative information from reporting to my credit I began making payments as I can recall, because XXXX will not provide me with billing information I paid the account down {$3700.00}. XXXX sold the account to a collection agency and they are charging in access of {$700.00} I am still making payments and inquired in the {$700.00}. The representative immediately became rude and said I was giving him a hard time and hung the phone up. No one will tell me where the {$700.00} was applied. REP. XXXX informed they do not charge any fees and to contact XXXX to see where the money was applied. I attempted a conference call XXXX informed he cant do third party calls. No on will provide me with any information on the money I already paid towards the account and they are tellling me its just cheaper if you pay 2700+. Also I am currently making payments towards the account they continue to hang up as soon as they answer the phone and XXXX told me to get a life and pay my bills.

My First Issue : I pulled my credit and found this collection on all three credit reports. I have never received any paperwork or a call, from this company, nor do I know what this collection is for. I tried to call the number on my credit and I get voicemail. The account shows the original creditor is for XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have state insurance for my girls and XXXX XXXX/ XXXX XXXX, So I would have never received a bill from this original for anywhere near this amount. I would have like to be billed properly and have a chance to dispute any amount claimed that I owe. My Second Issue : This collection company is reporting differently on all three credit reports. For example : on my XXXX, the name of the company or what the account is for does n't come up. It states that is a collection for XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, it reports a completely different company with the same account number and address as on XXXX. On XXXX, is shows the full account. I 'm about to purchase a home, and the mortgage company wants to know why it shows three different companies have the same collection. Because of this incorrect reporting by the collection company, I show that I owe a total of XXXX in collections not the XXXX. I want all of the accounts removed off my credit reports.

I tried to reach a settlement for some type of medical bill that hit my credit last week but was dated back to 2015. I can tell its a small office because I kept getting the two same rude employees. The guy said his name was XXXX and the girl said her name was XXXX, but I dont believe either of them. She kept hanging up on me when I asked for a supervisor after she was refusing to give me information on the bill and wouldnt give me a settlement amount. She said, Nope, {$830.00} Im full, have a good day ( sarcastically ) and she hung up in my face. Even when I told her she was being recorded she still hung up. The guy was just as rude and when he picked up and I asked for a supervisor he transferred me to her I guess trying to be funny. I need to reach a settlement amount with this company and once its paid I need to make sure they dispute it off of my credit. The employeees there are NASTY, and those two need to be terminated. I remember the womans voice distinctively. Can someone please help me resolve this issue! I went on the BBB website they had one positive comment, and 146 complaints. And many recent. And they were complaining about the same two people! Something isnt right. The name of the company is ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICE in Wyoming, PA.

XXXX XXXX, 2023 : I received a debt collection letter from ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICES and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX, 2023 : I mailed a letter to ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICES, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, disputing the debt and denying that I owe it to XXXX XXXX XXXX. Also in this letter, I demanded that ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICESXXXX XXXX verify the validity of this debt in writing within 30 days and submit a copy to me at the address below. I also asserted my rights under HIPPA and demanded a copy of the HCFA-1500 used to make decisions on my behalf and made part of my designated record set, within the next 30 days. I further requested these items : 1. Provide a billing statement which matches the balance being claimed. 2. Provide an itemized list of services with the charges that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX claims to have provided, that total {$4000.00} OR provide the itemized list of services with their charges and any partial payments my health insurance company and I have already made towards these charges. My letter was not returned from sender, so it would have arrived. Further, this company ignored my dispute, provided no documentation to me and recently reported this debt to major credit bureaus without stopping collection and validating the debt.

A false debt appeared on my credit report from ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICES XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX for a medical bill that I never had. I was never a patient at this practice, never received care from This practice and even the XXXX determined that this company is illegitimate. This medical bill is fraudulent and fictitious. This bill is not real. No one ever tried to contact me or send me any information. This just randomly appeared on my credit report for no reason at all. Completely fake. My insurance covers All of my medical expenses! This is a fraudulent account that does not exist. Please remove this from my credit reports. It is not real. One of the credit companies has already removed the information from my report because it is not real! It is fraudulent! Please Help! This company is creating false debt using clinics that went out of business and no longer exist, they steal your information and create false accounts and then place the accounts in collections! They never contact you, they just destroy your credit and try to trick you into paying XXXX of dollars for fictitious accounts that they created by stealing your information!

I submitted my 1st complaint with Ability Recovery Services ( XXXX ) asking for VALIDATION as I'm entitled to. They stated in their response that they sent me itemized bills, which does not qualify as VALIDATION per the FCRA. I then submitted complaint number 2 ( XXXX ) letting them know that the itemized information they sent me does not qualify as validation and per the Federal laws concerning the FCRA, they are supposed to send me information bearing my signature that proves that I am the one that owe the alleged debt. This erroneous reported information has negatively affected my credit score and my inability to purchase a home. It has been over 30 days since I submitted complaint number 2 and Ability Recovery Services stated they would send me proof of VALIDATION. They have not done this and because of that, by law they have to delete all negative reporting accounts from all credit reporting agencies. If this goes unanswered, I will be contacting the XXXX and my attorney is on standby to get involved. I can no longer have items that do not belong to me reporting negatively affecting me. Below is a link to the federal laws concerning the FCRA. https : //www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/pdf-0096-fair-credit-reporting-act.pdf

I called Account Recovery Services on XX/XX/XXXX to inquire about a Collection Placed on my Credit Report. They told me it was from a XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and for a total of {$310.00} They claimed to have sent me a notice about this but I never received anything via mail or phone calls. I was then told they had the wrong phone number, either way I was never given a chance to dispute this and it just came up on my credit report out of nowhere on XX/XX/XXXX They gave me information over the phone but refused to send any actual physical paperwork to me. I'd be willing to pay to clear this up if it is indeed my debt, but I was told I won't be sent any paperwork saying that until I pay. And they will only send it via email and not a physical hard copy. They then wanted credit card payment over the phone right away and I'm not entirely sure this collection is even accurate. I've contacted the original facility that Account Recovery Service said this debt is from and they have no records showing any outstanding debt or even a visit from me during this time frame. I also contacted the hospital 's internal and external billing departments and no one shows any recorded visits from XX/XX/XXXX or any past due bills from that time frame

Starting in XX/XX/XXXX I started receiving calls from ability recovery solutions regarding a Medical bill they claimed wasn't paid and I told them I was approved for SSI and Medicaid in XX/XX/XXXX. I had been fighting for XXXX for a few years altogether, and they backdated the Effective date for Medicaid back to XX/XX/XXXX they told me to call the hospitals and have them pull the accounts they had sent to collections back and file them with Medicaid instead. The hospital that the bill came from told me they pulled them all back and they were paid and closed. Well, I started getting calls from the collection company, and when I said to them that debt was paid they got rude and said to send proof to them, then they might close it. But when I tried to communicate with them about it they got hateful on the phone and threating towards me, and I called the hospital the bill came from, and they said they shouldn't be collecting on that debt, and they tried to contact them. but they refused to take it off my credit report and kept calling multiple times daily threating legal action and hurting my credit and because of them, my credit score dropped down really low. Also, they never sent proof in the mail about the debt when requested

This company has been calling me incessantly for months now. They call and as soon as the call connects to a representative, they hang up ... as though they are trying to force you to call them back. I spoke with an agent on XX/XX/XXXX and asked who they were. They advised me that they were calling regarding a debt from XXXX where I owed {$130.00}. I advised them that their claim was fraudulent as I have been insured for the past 15 years through the same company and my maximum co-pay amount is {$100.00}. I further advised them that this debt was settled through another company XXXX XXXX. They hung up on me and have proceeded to call me multiple times daily since. I contacted XXXX regarding they debtor. XXXX conducted an investigation and found their claims to be fraudlent and deleted the collection from my credit report. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, the same thing happened. I spoke with a representative and advised her that I was going to report them to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and the representative told me to go ahead and hung up on me. I am tired of being harrassed by this agency, who clearly does not own this debt!!! They are scammers who are trying to bully me into paying a false debt ... and damaging my credit to make matters worse!

On XXXX/XXXX/2016, I received a debt collection letter from Ability Recovery Services , LLC, in XXXX. The letter was addressed to a similar name to mine. However, there is no one residing with me ( and never has been anyone residing with me ) by the name on the letter. Through my work, I know that Identity Thieves do not always get the names correct and felt that I was a victim of Identity Theft. Therefore, I checked my credit report through XXXX and found that this debt collection had been reported to the Credit Bureaus. After contacting Ability Recovery Services ' client, XXXX XXXX, it was found that a person with a similar name to mine had enrolled, but the address was in XXXX, XXXX ( a PO box ). Also, there were no Social Security numbers associated with the XXXX XXXX account. My complaint is : 1 ) Ability Recovery Services reported this debt collection to my Credit without a Social Security number that would link this debt to me ; 2 ) this debt is not my debt ; 3 ) Ability Recovery Services degraded my Credit score, dropping my score from " XXXX '' to " XXXX '' ( XXXX points ) ; 4 ) as of this complaint, 5 ) Ability Recovery Services has not removed this from my Credit, which they advised me would occur by this date.

To Whom It May Concern, The reason for my dispute is ABLTY RECVRY was required to notify me no later than 30 days after furnishing the negative information to credit bureau reports, in writing ... under such section 623, subsection ( 7 ) ( A ). However, in my records I am unable to locate documentation that they complied with this requirement, which is a violation of the FCRA & FDCPA. Also, ABLTY RECVRY failed to give me my " Mini- Miranda '' five days prior to placing this derogatory item on all of my credit reports, per Section 807 ( 11 ) & FDCPA 809, which is {$1000.00} per violation and the state of FLORIDA allows treble damages. Under 809. Validations of date and Mini-Mirandi under Section 807 ( 1 ) ABLTY RECVRY failed to send me my initial communication before placing this alleged item on my credit reports further violating the FCRA, with {$1000.00} per violation. ABLTY RECVRY is held liable as well for defamation and in the state of FLORIDA allows for serious fines ABLTY RECVRY is not HIPAA-compliant I fail to see where AR RESOURCES is in compliance with FLORIDA LAW. ABLTY RECVRY has not even tried to contact me regarding this collection account. Please DELETE/REMOVE this account immediately. Thank you!

I called the company to try and get more information about the debt because I felt that this debt had been paid through a Federal Student Loan. The account manager, XXXX XXXX, felt differently. She was very hostile, raising her voice and insisting that she was not removing it from my credit report. I advised her I made the dispute through XXXX XXXX because of this reason and she flew off the handle. I asked her to not be so hostile, that it wasnt necessary and she insisted that she wasnt. However, when she continued to accuse me of trying to not pay the debt and I kept trying to explain that, I am just trying to get more information, she agreed that now she is getting hostile because she doesnt need to hear me say it one more time. I told her, at XXXX months XXXX, I dont need to be treated this way or be yelled at in such manner and she continued to tell me she wasnt going to sit on the phone because I am XXXX and she doesnt want anything to happen because of her. Overall, she said shed send me a letter from the school certifying the debt, which if she had been kinder and more forward about that from the start, it would have been what I was asking for. I dont think this behaviour is acceptable or productive.

In XXXX, XXXX I received a collection for 1200 something dollars so i began to dispute it. Next time i checked my credit report it was gone, but XX/XX/XXXX the collection reappeared. I contacted to original creditor that was listed on my report and was told they couldn't help me, that i needed to contact the collection agency. I continued to do so and recieved very unprofessional rude service. The account they reopened has a amount of XXXX XXXX When i spoke to them they claimed i owed pennfoster, i was confused because it was a pay as you go course cancel anytime which i did. They only required you pay in full once completed in order to recieve your diploma, which i never recieved because i never completed it and canceled. For one the course was XXXX $ so i don't know why their claiming XXXX XXXX I never signed any paperwork for said course, it was only required upon completion for the diploma. This was not a loan. I never recieved anything from these people. They admitted to me they open multiple accounts for this same debt. I just sent out a validation/verification letter to the agency on the XXXX of this month. If you could please assist me it would be much appreciated!! Thank you for your time!

hello my name is XXXX XXXX I am a XXXX year old male with very limited funds. i thought about pursuing a career in XXXX at XXXX College online school. i only enrolled but i never started the courses or used any materials and their system will show that i have never used their services. the class once finished was supposed to be priced at a cost of {$870.00} for full tuition yet Instead of cancelling my account after noticing i havent started the class or used any materials they send the full tuition debt to collections for {$870.00} which i feel is unfair and unethical practice and I paid an initial cost to enroll but never used anything so why would they pursue payment for a service that wasnt used at all .their system shows proof that i never used it. i am now being contacted multiple times daily by a company called Ability Recovery Services LLC. I could understand if i even started and read the first page of the course but the fact that i only enrolled but never used anything yet they expect full tuition is outrageous. I think any company that is selling a service such as pace by pace course online should never charge a consumer for materials or courses never used at all. i only enrolled.

I was down to owing XXXX XXXX XXXX back in spring/summer of XXXX when I had a death in the family. In XXXX of XXXX, XXXX XXXX contacted me and said if I pain 80 % of the remaining balance, {$280.00}, they would mark the loan as paid in full and close the account, so I did and they sent me a receipt. Now suddenly, 6 months later in XX/XX/XXXX, a collection agency Ability Recovery Service starts reporting to all 3 credit bureaus that I owe THEM the {$360.00}. I have tried to call the number that they list, but it comes up either busy like it's off the hook, or no one answers. THIS IS FRAUDULENT and unfair and an attempt to collect on something that has already been paid. I WILL NOT pay twice and the fact these people NEVER WROTE to me, called me or contacted me says it all. I want it taken off my credit report. And I want credit reporting businesses like XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX to be held responsible. Apparently they will just take ANYONE 's word WITHOUT ever ACTUALLY verifying information. I could send them a letter saying my ex-husband owes me {$36000.00} and they would put THAT on his credit report. SHAMEFUL!!!!! Goes against EVERYTHING the FCA is suppose to protect consumers from.

Recently, I noticed that there was a collection account on my credit report. I reached out to the company and asked for a validation of the debt. I received the letter, however, the letter comes from Ability Recovery Services LLC but the current creditor is showing as XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. This seems very scammy. Please provide me with a breakdown of all charges, dates of service and procedures given including fees associated. Additionally, I am allowed under HIPAA ( Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ), to protect my privacy and medical records from third parties. I do not recall giving permission for XXXX XXXX XXXX to release my medical information to a third party. I am aware that the HIPPA does allow for limited information about me but anything more is to only be revealed with the patient 's authorization, therefore my request is XXXX folded and as follows : Validation of Debt and HIPAA Authorization - Please provide a breakdown of fees including any collection costs and medical charges - Provide a copy of my signature with the provider of service to release my medical information to you - Cease any credit bureau reporting until debt has been validated by me

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent Ability Recovery Services a certified letter requesting information on a collection of {$610.00} that is on my credit report. I asked for proof showing that this is my debt and I also asked that if they couldn't provide me with this information, to please remove the collection from all 3 credit reports so that they can reflect accurate information. On XX/XX/XXXX, Ability Recovery Services responded with a bill from their company and also a bill from the XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX, the collection agency that they purchased this account from, but I didn't receive anything from the original creditor where it shows that this is my account/charge/bill. I then submitted all of this information to all 3 credit bureaus, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. The credit bureaus disputed this with Ability Recovery Services as well and they couldn't provide the credit bureaus proof that the account was indeed mine. On XX/XX/XXXX, I am writing CFPB to get them to remove this {$610.00} charge off of all 3 credit bureaus since they don't want to voluntarily do it and they can't provide me with proof. My certified letter was sent to : Ability Recovery Services XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX, PA XXXX XXXX

Good Day, Thank you very much for allowing me to register this complaint with the CFPB on my behalf regarding the debt collection company Ability Recovery Services , LLC. This company has repeatedly sent me a copy of a contract agreement that does not contain any agreement to pay XXXX, XXXX for an alleged debt. I have requested that they forward me a signed contract, by me, to pay XXXX, XXXX and they have refused to do so. Additionally, I have asked for proof that this company is authorized and licensed to operate in my state to attempt to collect this alleged debt. I have requested to receive information regarding how they obtained my personal information without my signature to provide permission to obtain my personal data, which they have ignored as well. I have informed XXXX, XXXX that without proper VALIDATION, which has not been provided regarding this matter, they must stop all of their illegal attempts to contact me via email, mail, or phone and discontinue reporting this alleged debt to the credit bureaus immediately because they are committing a violation of my privacy rights and they are engaging in character XXXX. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

I received a letter from Ability Recovery Services, dated XX/XX/XXXX, regarding tuition payment I owed to XXXX University. The letter I received stated that I owe {$2900.00}. Because of medical issues I was not able to pay the bill until XXXX. I started paying every week as I got paid. Based on the letter, I only owe {$470.00} to pay the account off. I have already paid {$2500.00}. I have submitted a dispute with XXXX and XXXX because the amount I owed on my credit reports were not correct. On XXXX XXXX, I contacted the collection agency about correcting the amount owed on my credit report. They informed me that I owed XXXX XXXX plus dollars because of charges XXXX added to my account. However, the letter they sent me does not reflect that. I contacted XXXX they can not pay me the amount I owe. They are saying whatever the agency says I owe, that is what I owe. They could not even tell me the amount of charges that may have been added. I should have been told in the letter and up front when I call The collection agency to settle the account the amount if extra charges and fees were added. I have attached the letter I received and the records of my payments I received from XXXX.

XXXX was listed as a creditor on my credit report as a debt collector for XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$1000.00}. This account was challenged and deleted from my credit report. In less than 30 days this account was picked up by Ability Recovery Services , LLC. I DO NOT believe that XXXX XXXX had adequate time to resell/retain this account to Ability Recovery Services , LLC who claim that they retained this account from XXXX XXXX.

I am requesting that the new creditor : 1. Submit to me validation to prove that XXXX XXXX has retained them to recover the amount they have listed now as {$1100.00}. Including an itemized bill detailing line by line fees and interest. 2. I am also requesting that Ability Recovery Services , LLC provide proof they have not received this account through XXXX XXXX or XXXX. 3. I request names and address of all to whom they contacted as well as date and time. I will be following up on this correspondence directly. 4. I request that Ability Recovery Services , LLC provide to me their legal licensee number as a registered collection agency for the State of Maryland to be checked through the Maryland department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulations system.

I enrolled in XXXX University XX/XX/2017. I was only in the class for three days and requested to be withdrawn from the course. My adviser received the email but failed to withdraw me. XXXX tried to get me to pay even though I withdrew before payment was necessary. They admitted the mistake but continued to claim that I owe {$1400.00}. It has now been reported to Ability Recovery Services. I tried to talk to XXXX and get the matter resolved but they would not help me. When I was added to the course I was added late according to XXXX. Upon being added late XXXX now states that I was added after the date and am not entitled to a window of withdrawal. XXXX did not inform me of this when I signed up for the course. When I spoke with my adviser on the phone she stated that I would not have to pay and that late add students are entitled to the equal opportunities that regular students are. I am now being attacked by this debt collector after being lied to by XXXX. I proceeded with due diligence and read the policies and it did not have a policy for late add students. All I want from XXXX is for the debt to go away and to have equal opportunity in their educational entity.

My name is XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer, and I am making this complaint against Ability Recovery Service for committing identity theft. I have never given Ability Recovery Service any permission to use any of my identifying information to call me or commit mail fraud by contacting me about an alleged debt they claim I owe. I am legally refusing to pay this debt pursuant to 15 USC 1692c ( c ). I am demanding a cease and desist of all illegal activity, any communication and a collection activity, of this and any alleged debts until Ability Recovery Service can provide sufficient documentary evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay them. If this documentary evidence can not be produced and Ability Recovery Service continues its collection efforts. I will file for litigation for actual damages caused and Ability Recovery Service will be held criminally liable for aggravated identity theft pursuant to 18 USC 1028 A, extortion, theft by deception, securities fraud, and mail fraud. Upon receipt of the documents herein and of this notice, you are hereby notified pursuant to UCC 1-202f. Your prompt attention and response are both requested and required.

I was contacted by Ability Recovery Services over the last three months and they have already listed a " Collection '' with my credit agencies hurting my credit score. I have-on every occasion- asked them to provide me proof that this debt is mine... they refuse to do it. I wrote a letter to them sent it certified return receipt wherein I requested information on the original creditor : name, address, account number. If the debt started with another creditor their name address and account number and the date the debt was transferred. I asked for a copy of the original contract between me and the original creditor to prove it's a valid debt ... .the date this debt became delinquent and an itemized payment history, I asked if any fees have been added I asked if they they had a debt collector license in Georgia and if so provide the name on the license and the license number plus the name of the state agency that granted the license. I told them that I dispute the debt. They received the letter on XXXX and acknowledged such but told me they did not have to provide me with anything! They refuse to show the collections reported to the bureaus as being in dispute.

on XX/XX/XXXX I received an alert that a new collection report was added to my credit report. When viewing the report I saw the collection company so I proceeded to contact the company, the lady who answered told me they been trying to contact me since XX/XX/XXXX but had no luck. I asked if they left messages she said no then she told me they sent letters about my " supposed debt owed '' to an address I do not reside at. She told me I owed {$800.00} but wouldn't tell me who or what it was for and just wanted me to pay it. I repeatedly asked for a manager to which she told me she was not going to give me a manager I had to deal with her. She stated the debt was from XXXX to which I replied with the debt is out by time isn't it? she said no and I said if you do not provide me with any information I am not going to pay to which she stated that " I need to get a job to pay my XXXX bills '' and some other words. I then said she was being very rude to which her reply was your momma 's a XXXX so get off the phone. I then kept asking over and over for a manager she finally hung up. Every time I call back she is the only one who picks up the phone it seems like a scam.

The agency has violated multiple FDCPA regulations. The entity which provided me no notice that a debt existed or that the debt was in collections and placed the debt on my credit XX/XX/2021 in the amount of {$750.00} and {$340.00}, in an attempt to have me pay an unknown debt without validation. When seeking validation of the debt the agencies phone representatives hang up in my face if I do not acknowledge the debt, in an attempt to reset the statute of limitations before even validating the debt in writing. The agency uses harsh collection methods which violate the rights of consumers and do not align with FDCPA guidelines. I have sent the consumer a letter of validation on XX/XX/2021 without response. The agency refuses to assist with a validation in efforts to run out the time to request validation. This agency should be fined and ashamed as I have seen this agency do this to multiple people violating the rights we have as debtors and limiting the options we have to resolve debts before financial and credit impact occurs in an attempt to get a fast payment agreement and reset statute of limitations on what could potentially be older, non-obligated debts.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received eight alerts from different sources informing me that there had been a change to my credit report. I logged in to find that there was an erroneous collection account from Ability Recovery Service for an alleged ambulance service with XXXX XXXX XXXX dating back to XX/XX/2019. I contacted the collection company and they would not provide me with any information as to where I was supposedly picked up from or where I was supposedly transported to. I spoke with an attorney and as was advised that this information is not a violation of HIPAA even though the collection agency said that it was. I called the ambulance company directly and they said that they dont have records dating that far back. This negative information has been placed on my credit in the amount of {$1000.00}, and I have never received a bill from either company or a phone call from either company and I find this extremely suspicious and want this information investigated immediately. I spoke with a supervisor at the collection agency and when I mentioned that I would be involving an attorney, he became very defensive and said that he was going to end the conversation.

I am writing to dispute the validity of the debt associated with Ability Recovery Services. I recently became aware of this collection entry on my credit report, and I believe there may be errors or inaccuracies in the reporting. I am formally requesting that Ability Recovery Services provide me with the following information : 1. Verification of the debt, including the amount owed. 2. Copies of any documents proving that I am legally obligated to pay this debt. 3. Details of the original creditor and their contact information. I also request that you provide me with a written statement confirming that the debt is not being reported to any credit bureaus during the investigation period. Please note that, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I have the right to dispute the validity of this debt and request verification. I expect Ability Recovery Services to comply with this request within 30 days. If you are unable to provide the requested information, I demand that you remove the collection entry from my credit report promptly. Your cooperation in resolving this matter is appreciated. I look forward to your prompt response.

I had my credit report pulled from the credit bureaus, to see what was on my report as I was in the beginning stages of a homeowner program. I noticed that there was a collection debt reported by a Company called Ability Recovery services for the amount of {$1000.00}. I have no knowledge of this debt so I sent Ability Recovery a validation of debt letter, this letter was sent to them on XX/XX/XXXX and I waited 30 days and received no response from them, regarding the validity of the debt. I again sent out validation of debt letters again on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, with both resulting in no response again from Ability Recovery Services in regards to the validity of this debt. The homeowner program advise me to send a admission of silence letter to them, which was sent on XX/XX/XXXX and they did not respond to that letter either. However they continue to report this debt to the credit bureaus as verified while they have repeating violates my request for proof of validation of this debt. I would like Ability Recovery Services to remove this debt from my credit report since they have denied me my right to receive proof of validation of this debt.

XXXX XXXX was a school i was attending to online for a month. After the one course was over they decided to update the website and would not work with my XXXX that i just purchased in order to attend school because they said that will work for all classes. Once the update was done i could not attend to any part of the classes, i could not get to any part of the class work or homework. I was unable to take exams. I reached out to them many times to state that this was happening and all they told me was to go purchase a laptop. I decided after that to withdraw from the entire program within their tie period of dropping the program so i do not owe money. They continue to charge me, even when they knew i was not attending. I have also emailed them say i should not be charged because i withdrawn within the appropriate time frame given. From there they sent everything off to collections without proper acknowledgement that that was happening. No phone call, no email, no written statement. I have been trying to get this written off my collections and gone because i have no knowledge of the collection and should not owe a school any type of money.

Hello, Back on XX/XX/XXXX I did a tenant screening with XXXX XXXX and found that a Company named Ability Recovery Services is claiming that I owe XXXX University. I was at XXXX University for one semester and Financial aid covered the cost and made my account balance for the school XXXX. The Financial aid loan is also through XXXX my student loan provider and since I am actively in school the loan is in deferment. Fast forward to three to four years later and this company is trying to capitalize on a student loan that is already with a provider. When I reached out to XXXX I was told my balance was XXXX and have the screenshots of the balance and proof showing financial aid did their disbursement and I was only there for one semester then left with a XXXX balance. I was never enrolled in any classes. I disputed this with credit bureaus and when tried to contact no one is answering and I am ready to take this as a legal matter because it shows this loan is clearly loan Letter I number 11 on my Department of education XXXX student loan. Someone needs to look into this company as well as XXXX University for reporting false information.

I recently had a Collection appear on my XXXX Credit Report as of XX/XX/XXXX from Ability Recovery Service. I have never spoken with this company prior to this date, nor have I received any written correspondence regarding alleged debt. I contacted the company and I was hung up on and was spoken to rudely when I attempted to get information as I have no knowledge from this alleged debt from this company or the original creditor. After reviewing my records, the date of service that they alleged is not one that is in alignment with the last time I was in the hospital after an automobile accident in which that debt was paid so this appears to be an error. I also received nothing from the original creditor. I received no notice or validation of this debt from this agency or the original creditor. I have no knowledge of this debt. Upon finally being able to speak with someone, they confirmed they in fact allegedly sent information to the incorrect address so I have no knowledge of this debt. They said the debt is from XX/XX/XXXX but have it listed as XX/XX/XXXX on my credit report so they are also modifying dates to reage the account.

I woke up this morning with a credit alert in my email. The alert was from XXXX about an account by Ability Recovery Services. The original debt supposedly was from XXXX XXXX. They are claiming I owe {$1200.00} from classes? I dealt with these people years back, before 2012. I had cancelled the program. Now they contact me 5 or more years later and just listed this on my credit report. Its interesting to note that this is the first time I have ever heard of this. I would like to see proof of my original signature and other information to prove this debt is mine. Like I said, years ago I had contacted them about a program, but cancelled it because credits would not transfer to a state university. I was XXXX with a XXXX XXXX in 2012, and know I would have not signed up for a school program. Half the time, a can not even see to read books and other information. XXXX XXXX was also involved in a class action lawsuit for deceptive and misleading conduct. Maybe the governement should look into the relationship between Ability Recovery and XXXX XXXX. I think they are trying to scam people. Do the research, it is all over the internet.

Ability Recovery Services has violated FDCPA by reporting a debt they could not validate to credit bureau 's. Ability Recovery Services is using a false instrument to collect a debt that does not contain my signature. I would also like to point out that the instrument they use is also a contract of an agreed XXXX months which I have already have submitted proof of payments. They have also reported to XXXX " Status as of XX/XX/XXXX - Unpaid : Date of 1st Delinquency XX/XX/XXXX ''. I have enclosed 'FACT ' information to their 'Delinquency claim of XX/XX/XXXX ' that it was paid the month prior and after XX/XX/XXXX. Since I 've contacted Ability Recovery Services of their shady practice of submitting a false instrument to collect a debt they have ceased contact with me but the information still remains on my credit report. I 'm submitting FACTS:1. A contract that does not contain my hand writing signature2. Proof that I paid for services of the two months in the contract they submitted. 3. XXXX Report containing delinquency they reported as of XX/XX/XXXX, along with my proof of on time payments of XX/XX/XXXX

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to bring to your attention a serious issue I have encountered with a collection agency Ablility Recovery. Despite sending them a debt validation letter requesting proof of the debt on XXXX they are attempting to collect from me, I have not received any response from them even though it has been more than 30 days since I sent the letter. I believe this behavior is in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), which requires collection agencies to respond to debt validation requests within 30 days of receiving them. I am concerned that this collection agency is attempting to collect a debt from me without providing me with the proper documentation to prove that the debt is legitimate. Furthermore, I am requesting that the collection agency delete this debt from their records as they have failed to comply with the FDCPA. I believe that this is a fair request given the circumstances, and I ask that you investigate this matter and ensure that the collection agency in question is held accountable for their failure to comply with the law.

After reviewing my credit profile on XX/XX/XXXX I identified a discrepancy with accounts listed under XXXX XXXX XXXX. I requested a validation on XX/XX/XXXX as this was an account that I did not recognize. I reviewed my credit report again on XX/XX/XXXX and the account continues to reflect on my credit report and I have not received any correspondence from creditor to validate these accounts as correctly belonging to me despite my credit report nor any updates to reflect that the accounts are disputed and therefore a XXXX validation letter was sent out on this day. As of XX/XX/XXXX I have not received the requested validation in a timely manner according to the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act and I do not believe the account belongs to me nor do I believe that the creditor has HIPAA authorization to access the account nor authorization to attempt to collect on the account and the account continues to negatively affect me. Please strike and remove this account from all XXXX credit bureaus until adequate validation has been received proving that the accounts belong to me and all information is correct.

I spoke to Ability Recovery Services and asked to settle my account, I was told I could settle my account and I requested a letter with information in order to do this. They assured me they would send me a letter with information regarding my account. One week later I still had not received a letter, I called Ability Recovery Services again, I was then told they sent it to the " wrong address '' I gave them my address again and they assured me they would send me a letter. One week later I still had not received a letter. I called Ability Recovery Services a third time and this time was told that they could not send me a letter legally and would have to speak to their lawyers in order for me to get a letter? I was very confused by this as they had said they sent one. I told them since I was working with a financial advisor I needed my debt settlement in writing before paying, they told me they could not provide that to me until AFTER I paid them not before. This seemed fishy to me ... as I have been paying off all my debts and every other debt collector had no issue sending me a letter.

Yesterday I submitted a complaint, please see ( XXXX ) for Ability Recovery Services , LLC. They did not respond to my right for them to have valid proof that they are licensed to collect debts in IL. Per the XXXX site, they DO NOT have an active license to collect debts in this state. Please provide proof of your active license, as per the Fair Credit Reporting Act you must be licensed in the state you are attempting to collect a debt. In addition in that same complaint, they responded stating they sent me an itemized bill. As stated in my original complaint, AN ITEMIZED BILL IS NOT PROOF OF VALIDATION. Proof of validation requires you to provide me with a document bearing my signature to show proof that I am obligated to pay this debt you say I owe. Please provide proof of your active license to collect debts in the state of IL and also please provide proof of Validation, not an itemized bill as that is verification, not validation that I requested. Again, if you can not provide proof of both of these requests, I will be pursuing legal action and my lawyer will be contacting you.

I am writing to file a complaint against Ability Recovery Services LLC regarding their validation response to a debt on my credit report. On XX/XX/2023, I sent validation letters to all three credit bureaus regarding a debt in the amount of {$1200.00} attributed to Ability Recovery Services LLC. I included my identification, credit report, and supporting documents with the letter. Although it has been nearly 30 days since I mailed the validation letter, Ability Recovery Services LLC has provided a validation response affirming the debt. However, I find this validation response questionable as it does not align with the information I have provided and raises concerns about the accuracy of the reported debt. I firmly believe that Ability Recovery Services LLC has not adequately validated the debt in question. I request your intervention in investigating this matter to ensure that the debt is properly validated and that my credit report accurately reflects my financial obligations. Thank you for your attention to this complaint and for your efforts in protecting consumer rights.

I am a XXXX veteran and have 100 % community care, I went to receive care from XXXX XXXX XXXX and when the hospital billed, they billed my private insurance which left a balance after speaking with them I informed them they needed to bill the VA, the bill was denied by the VA and sent them instructions how to resubmit for payment correctly. They never did and 4 years later I get a bill from a collection agency Ability Recovery Services. I contacted them and the initial individual I spoke with hung up on me and did not want to listen to anything I had to say. The second individual shared that the VA needed to send something showing I was approved for care in the community, they did provide it because I sent it in myself, I have tried calling them since then and no one answers or return my calls and the collection after I filed a dispute with the credit bureaus the result came back as correct and the account was to stay on my credit. I am not responsible for the debt, and it was the actions of the initial collector to not request payment the resulted in the bill not being paid.

There was a debt was on my XXXX account in XXXX of XXXX of {$960.00}. I disputed it online and with a certified letter, and within 30 days it was removed. The creditor, Ability Recovery Services, and the credit bureau has now reinserted it back on my credit as of XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and I was not notified of the reinsertion. I spoke with XXXX, and they understand that it has been reinserted and that I was not notified, but refused to remove it from my report. Ability Recovery Services, and the original creditor has never sent me a bill, statement, or documents stating that I owe this. I have no proof that this is my debt whatsoever. Furthermore, the dispute agent from XXXX seemingly accused me of this debt, stating that either it was indeed mine, or I was victim of identity theft. Either way, this was reinstated and I was not notified in writing within the 5 day time period. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and this was reported XX/XX/XXXX, so they have had plenty of time to send me a letter, but when I spoke with them, they disregarded that and stated they would only dispute it again.

There was a collection on my credit report through another credit collection company, which I disputed and it was then removed only to be bought by another collection company called Ability Recovery Service. I have requested the original credit application with my signature and any other information that would allow me to verify the debt is mine. Furthermore, the previous company told me it was a XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX through XXXX XXXX, I do have a XXXXXXXX XXXX with XXXX but it is in good standing and paid every month. Also, according to the letter sent by ability recovery service this debt is almost 6 years old. Isnt the statute 3 years in NY state? I would like for this to be removed from my credit report as it is not my debt and I have not received anything verifying its my debt. I also went through all my debt two years ago and paid everything that was showing as a collection or negative account so I dont understand how this can surly show up out of no where. I have attached the letter that was sent to me from ability and I sent back on XX/XX/XXXX with no reply.

There is an account on my credit report ( XXXX only ) with the status of open when it should be showing a status of closed because it was included in a bankruptcy in XX/XX/XXXX. Its shows a balance of {$0.00} and past due amount {$0.00}, but yet is still open on my account. There is also an account open only on XXXX again of a balance of {$570.00} that I have never received a bill for, but is showing it was opened in XXXX this year. I have disputed these two account with XXXX and sent them proof of bankruptcy and they still have not changed the status of the accounts even though I have received confirmation emails stating the dispute was completed. It is almost impossible to receive information regarding this situation because it is impossible to even receive access on their website because their system can never accurately match my information to confirm my identity and their phone number wait is always backed up hours at a time because no one can access their online features. XXXX should not be a trusted agency for being responsible for people credit information.

I had an old medical debt at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, Kansas. They sent the debt to XXXX and XXXX. I paid it on XX/XX/XXXX. Just after XXXX, a new company called Ability Recover Services reported the same old hospital bill that I paid off as a new debt on my credit report. I disputed it with my credit reporting agencies and XXXX of them has already removed the collections from my report, but the other XXXX haven't. I've called them 3 times and can't get them to stop doing this. I just got off the phone with them AGAIN because at XXXX, I got an email that they'd put this debt back on my credit report after just getting it removed again. Now I've had enough! I don't owe this debt and I'm not about to give them money. I paid what I owe. This is illegal. They know I don't owe that debt and they keep coming after me trying to milk me out of money I don't owe. They know I'm trying to buy a house and they just destroyed any hope I have of doing that now. I want this company to get what's coming to them in the form of a fine. They shouldn't be doing this to people.

I was contacted by Ability Recovery Service after this debt was recorded on my credit report in XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke with a representative inXX/XX/XXXX to inform them that I did not owe XXXX University anything. I ask for a debt validation and they sent me a statement from XXXX University that showed that I had a balance on my account. I asked for documentation that provided a detailed breakdown of what the amount was for and nothing new was sent. I reached out to XXXX University and they said that it was a student loan refund check sent to me but because I did n't finish the quarter I owed them that money back. I have never been informed before this year that I owed a balance. I withdrew from school because of a XXXX and as a result in XX/XX/XXXX all of my student loans were forgiven by the government. They say that I owe {$1800.00} because the money that I received in the amount of a refund is owed to them because I withdrew from school but that money was included in my forgiven loans. They never sent any student loan documentation in support of their claim

I set up automatic payments with Ability Recovery Service ( XXXX ) that was to begin XX/XX/XXXX and {$50.00} XXXX payments were supposed to come out automatically. The company however decided to take the payments out on days that were not authorized. The first payment was taken out of my account on XX/XX/XXXX however, the next payment were taken out XX/XX/XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. When I called the company to inquiry why the payments were taken out on these dates and not the dates that were authorized, the representative called me a liar and begin to yell at me. when i asked to speak with a supervisor, the supervisor stated they will take the information and look into it but the issue at hand is repaying the debt and begin to pressure me to discuss repayment. The supervisor completely disregarded the issue and my complaint. I asked the company to stop all auto payments and submitted a complaint to the attorney general. By running payments on dates that were not authorized this company did not comply with the XXXX law nor did they care to fix the issue.

Hello, I'm not turning to the CFPB to aid me in finally recovering from this nightmare. I'm being asked for {$430.00} for a hospital bill that does not belong to me. I have not been to any hospital and ever since XXXX, me and my local police department have been trying to remedy the situation. I'm not sure what's going on, but I've gone back and forth with the hospital. Following sending them my I.D . and documents, they ceased to respond. What's going on now globally does not make this any better. Please aid me in recovering from this tragedy! At this point I am just ready to sue the bureaus and collectors involved. I've reached out to the creditors as well as to the bureaus. What 'was incorrect ' was removed, excluding this 1 creditor. I did send a certified letter with tracking in XXXX. And aside from that, have sent it to the bureaus. Please remove this ridiculous account from my credit report immediately. It's such a ridiculously small amount, if it were mine I would've paid it! I base a salary of {$70000.00} a year. This is NOT my account!

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to inform you that on XX/XX/2023, I disputed an item on my credit report regarding a debt that was reported by Ability Recovery. I patiently waited for a response from your office regarding this matter. In the letter I sent, I explained that I do not recall signing a contract or having any dealings with Ability Recovery. It is possible that they purchased a debt from my original creditor, but I am certain that I owe them nothing. According to my knowledge, the original creditor has written off the debt and filed it as a loss, which, by law, means I no longer owe the debt. Given the importance of this issue and my desire to fully understand the situation, I kindly request that you provide me with documentation that clearly shows why I owe this debt to the current collector. Having such information will help me resolve this matter and ensure the accuracy of my credit report. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your prompt response. Thank you for your assistance.

I enrolled in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX program in Accounting I was unsure whether I would like the online learning format, so I asked the enrollment counselor with whom I spoke on the telephone what date I would have to withdraw by in order to not incur tuition charges. And I was been told you will receive student grant financial add you don't have to pay anything I hated the online format, and was absolutely certain to withdraw by the date I was told by the advisory. However, I was subsequently billed by XXXX, nonetheless. I disputed the matter back and forth with XXXX, informing them of the conversation I had with the enrollment adviser, but they insisted I withdrew past the deadline. Since the conversation I had with the adviser took place over the telephone, I have no proof -it is merely word against word. But I am certain I withdrew by the deadline in order to not incur charges. XXXX turned the matter over to collections Agency and they, in-turn have now reported a derogatory remark on my credit report, resulting in a lowered credit score.

I recently pulled my credit report from all XXXX agencies. I noticed a collection listed from Ability Recovery Services with 2 accounts that I did not recognize. Acccount ID : XXXX for {$52.00} and XXXX for {$52.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a certified letter to the Ability Recovery Services requesting validate the debt. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from the company with a printout of a bill. On that bill it states that the XXXX XXXX Due amount is XXXX. Then under that it states under creditor information that the current balance is {$52.00} for both accounts. The printout does not state what the charge of {$52.00} for both accounts is for. I sent another certified letter which was picked up by someone at Ability Recovery Services XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX. In that letter I requested that the company provide me a breakdown of the fees, what the fees were for, who and how it was verified and verification of a HIPPA authorization. I have not received any documentation or response from my letter since it was received by the company XX/XX/XXXX.

XXXX XXXX failed to properly submit student loan documentation causing student loan to fail to be approved when it should have been. This failure by XXXX caused cancellation of enrollment. After cancellation, XXXX fraudulently charged a " technology fee '' which their attached letter states " Designates CHARGE not yet due ... This bill does not reflect pending financial aid. '' The XXXX letter also states " Previous Balance : {$0.00}. Current Balance '' {$0.00}. Amount Due {$0.00}. '' However, after XXXX XXXX failed to properly process the Financial Aid application and enrollment was cancelled, it properly canceled the " Future Balance : {$1700.00} '' and increased its phantom " XXXX XXXX Fee {$150.00} '' to {$180.00}. XXXX University and its unethical collection agency are inaccurately reporting to the credit bureaus that {$180.00} is due when no money is due after XXXX XXXX 's failure to process the financial aid package which directly resulted in the cancellation of enrollment in the XXXX Fall Semester and all subsequent semesters.

This company is engaging in the illegal practice of DEBT PARKING. I was never notified of this debt and I have not lived in Texas for over 7 years. This is a junk debt buyer and they have not provided validation of the debt to me. They also continue to illegally validate the debt to the credit bureaus and this has detrimentally affected my credit scores. They are violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices as I was never notified of this fraudulent debt in writing before placing on my credit file. I could not dispute the validity of the debt within 30 days. I had no medical debt when Ieft Texas XXXX and XXXX years ago and I was not notified of any purported debt during my residency there. I called and the customer service representative threatened me over the phone if I did not pay them the {$120.00}, which I do not owe. They refused to send me evidence of this fraudulent debt. I have disputed this with the credit bureau and this company continues to validate the debt with them. No one will send any paperwork to me about this debt.

This is a complaint against Ability Recovery Services located in XXXX, PA. This company has continuously disregarded my consumer rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and has caused me much unwanted financial AND mental worry. For starters, they're reporting a wrong & unverifiable account on my credit report and not to mention an account in which I've requested for evidence of claim and which they were not able to furnish, per the FCRA & FDCPA. In spite of my endeavors to fix this unfortunate problem for quite a few months now ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ), Ability Recovery has completely dismissed my communications and multiple requests to delete this mistaken information from my credit report. This company 's negligent conduct has caused lots of great harm, not only to my capacity to establish credit & good interest rates, but also to my character as a Professional and as an individual. Please help me. I really appreciate your time and guidance in this matter and hope to hear from you very soon.

When I originally wrote the letter I requested them to comply with the fair debt collection practices act and fair credit reporting act:1 ) providing me a contract or bill with my signature on it as follows : I am requesting validation, made pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Please note that I am requesting validation ; that is competent evidence bearing my signature, showing that I have ( or ever had ) some contractual obligation to pay you. They are in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act by claiming I owe money and they have no document bearing my signature wherein I allegedly authorized these charges. They are reporting this fraudulent claim to the credit bureaus as a valid debt, yet they are unable to validate the debt.

The company is reporting inaccurate and damaging information on my credit report. The company failed to give notice prior to reporting this item on my credit report. They also failed to validate the debt. The date opened, date of last payment made is wrong, credit limit, high balance amount, responsibility, and payment status is reporting inaccurately. There is also missing information not being reported. There is also inconsistent information being reported to different bureaus. Why isn't your data consistent between various credit bureaus if the information is supposed to be 100 % accurate and complete? How can you tell the credit bureaus you verified this information when your own information being reported is wrong and inconsistent. The furnisher reported doesn't even have a record of this information or account. I called them and they have no record of anything you are reporting. What did you do with the money you said was paid? Who did you report this to and do you have proof? What account was this applied to?

I received a notification from my credit managing company that 'Ability Recovery Services ' has stated that I owe {$750.00} from a 2016 hospital visit and has put this account in collections. This is now affecting my credit score. I spoke with a rep at this Ability company and the woman stated that I could 'pay {$300.00} for this to all go away '. I stated that this debt is not valid and that this hospital account was closed 5 years ago. After further research I discovered that this specific company buys closed medical accounts and attempts to collect money from unexpecting people. I have requested my medical records through a medical release form to prove the validity of my statements. I have also discovered via a XXXX search that Ability Recovery Services is involved within several law suits due to their fraudulent activity. I am disputed these claims and I am filing this complaint because my credit manager with XXXX recommended I do so. Please feel free to contact me if there is further questions. Thank You

XXXX XXXX XXXX placed a couple of medical collection on my account that had been placed by a different collection agency in the past, but had to be removed because they did their research and this was not my debt. I have never done business with XXXX XXXX XXXX and I don't owe XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX anything. I wrote a letter asking XXXX XXXX to remove the debt because its not mine. 3 months past by so then I reached out via phone and they were very rude and keep hanging up on me. I don't owe these collections to XXXX XXXX XXXX and I definitely don't owe it to XXXX XXXX. If you have any medical records with my name on it, I will be extremely upset because there is a Hipaa Law that protects us. You should not be holding any of my medical records from anyone. I don't have an outstanding balance with XXXX XXXX XXXX. If XXXX XXXX has proof that this is my debt, then please send it like Ive asked over the phone and in the letter that I mailed out. There is a reason why the previous collection company removed it.

I am beyond exhausted with all my efforts to resolve this matter with ability recovery services for a # of months Ive been back and forth trying to find a solution to have this account remove off my consumer report. I have no response back from any of my corresponders within all departments. Ive been advised by my attorney to file a suit and sue for for damages that Im entitled to under the FCRA. I prefer to work directly with this company in resolving this issue that will result in removal of this account off my consumer report. I have no choice but to sue should I find no response once more after this complaint, this is my final attempt. I will therefore move forward with my supporting document. Ability recovery services has this account # on this report that I have absolutely no knowledge of. This has been a complete devastation to my entire family and myself due to fact this has held up an entire mortgage process having us nearly homeless. Please assist me in the aggressive removing of this account.

After reviewing my credit profile on XX/XX/2019 I identified a discrepancy with account listed under Ability Recovery Services. I requested a validation on XX/XX/2019 as there was an account listed that I did not recognize as I have always had insurance/Medicaid that fully covers my medical. On XX/XX/2019 I reviewed my credit profile again as Ability Recovery Services had not responded but the account was reflected as disputed. Therefore a 2nd validation request for the account was sent out on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX Credit report was reviewed again on XX/XX/2019 and the account is still reflecting on my report and I do not believe the account belongs to me nor that the creditor has authorization to legally access my medical records and to attempt to collect on this account and these accounts continue to negatively affect me. Please strike and remove this account from all 3 credit bureaus until adequate validation has been received proving that this account belongs to me and that all information is correct.

THE DISPUTED ACCOUNT REMAINS ON MY CREDIT FILE : ABILITY RECOVERY SERVI Account XXXX The company that reported the information has certified to XXXX that the information is accurate. This item was not changed as a result of our processing of your dispute. COMPLAINT My complaint is this is wrong information. They have deliberately increased the balance of a student account. I have been XXXX XXXX since XXXX. I withdrew from school and the financial aid payment was returned to the Federal agency in XXXX my last payment to the school would have been in XXXX before I got sick This can easily be verified by last date of enrollment. Ability Recovery Services has added {$400.00} to the collection amt reported by the school. that should be illegal. not only that the date the account was opened is clearly incorrect XX/XX/XXXX and this is old enough to be removed immediately. I need info on how to file a lawsuit. i have asked them to verify this amount and dates of enrollment with no response. copies attached

Hi, I contacted Ability Recovery Services this morning about a debt on my credit report that I had previously disputed with both the agency and XXXX University where the debt originated. I clearly stated to XXXX the issue and provided proof, this was improperly transferred to collections. When I tried to communicate that this morning an exceptionally rude woman at the collections agency told me the debt was dispute but she knew it was legitimate. I explained it was not legitimate which is why I disputed it. She told me I had to prove it. I explained I had, and asked for the contact information for the university to see if there was another office I needed to go through. She was exceptionally rude and abusive and should be addressed as that is not the proper way to collect a debt. Additionally, she never verified any information, I never gave her any information and she never gave any disclosure that is given about " this is an attempt to collect a debt any info will be used for that purpose..etc ''.

I wrote and mailed a dispute letter to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX in XX/XX/2018 pertaining to a collection account that had been placed on my credit report from the collection company Ability Recovery Associate for {$930.00}. XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX responded with a copy of my credit report stating that the account in question was verified by the creditor. Ability Recovery Associate did not provide any documents or evidence to verify the account. I sent another dispute letter to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX in XXXX asking again for proper validation of the debt, and instead of verifying the debt XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX reported the debt was verified at the previous amount. Of {$930.00}. Under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act. I have the right to request validation of the debt, therefore I am requesting that you investigate this matter and delete this account from XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX or provide me with physical proof. Such as a signed legal binding contract. Your immediate response will be greatly appreciated.

On XX/XX/XXXX I called Ability Recovery Services LLC and set up weekly payment arrangements with XXXX XXXX. He told me that because I responded to the debt so quickly, that it would not be reported to credit reporting agencies. I repeated this back to him to verify that the debt would not show up on my credit report. On XX/XX/XXXX this debt showed up on my credit report. I immediately called ARS and spoke to supervisor XXXX XXXX who told me that was no their policy and there was nothing he could do. He advised me that he would go back and listen to the tapes but it wo n't change anything. I pay them {$200.00} a month from a {$1300.00} a month salary to get this debt taken care of as soon as possible. My credit score dropped 4 points because of this. XXXX XXXX told me if the debt is n't paid in 30 days, they report it, which I was never told. I 'm trying to repair my credit and would have tried to make arrangements to pay in full had I known this. Not happy about the lies. Poor business practices.

Good morning. I am here complaining about company that goes by ability recovery services. They put 3 different collection accounts under my name which I paid off back in XXXX I was told all the accounts will be deleted and that it'll be reported to all the credit bureaus as complete and will be taken off any report However, spoke to them back in XXXX of XXXX XXXX and I was told that they will send the status update to the bureaus again and that it could take 30 days for that to update in their system Coming today after over a month, the bureaus are still showing all 3 of the debt collection accounts and are not deleted. I tried calling the company and they asked me to dispute the charges with the bureaus directly with no better solution I have had no help from them! I am trying to close on a home and I am getting pushed back cause of this company not doing thier work of actually submitting the account status as they are supposed to. Instead asking me to take this up directly with the bereaus.

In XXXX of 2022, I received notification via mail that Ability Recovery Services acting on behalf on XXXX was attempting to reinstate an old debt back onto my credit report. It has been several years since the XXXX and all debt collectors have reached out regarding this debt being removed from my profile. The notification from Ability Recovery Services laid out a few options that I had before the debt was replaced back on my profile. One which included Verification of Debt. The notification provided a date in which the dispute or request for additional documents were to be submitted. Two days after receiving the notification via mail, a debt validation letter was sent to Ability Recovery Services to request hard copies to prove that the debt belonged to me. I have received no additional follow-ups from the debt collection company and the debt was placed on my profile regardless. I have noted that this company apparently has been notorious for this happening in the past with other clients.

I tried to attend an online education program back in XXXX by XXXX XXXX. After like 3 weeks I felt the program was a waste & advised them to close my account. Well the account ended up in collections in XXXX. I don't know if this even is the same company that tried collectiing before or a different one. This collection company that this debt was sold to is reporting it as a new debt opened up in XX/XX/XXXX. This is not the case. Maybe that's the day they acquired the debt but the debt is approxiatemately going on 3 years old. I've disputed the accuracy of these dates on my credit report multiple times to no avail. I have not received any proof as to when this account was closed and/or opened by Ability. Both XXXX XXXX & Ability have multiple complaints against them on the XXXX website about their collection antics! I want the correct dates on my credit report as to when this acct went into collections not when it was bought & sold to a collection agency! XXXX XXXX will be my next complaint.

My ex-husband agreed to pay for medical services from XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX for the amount of {$1300.00} and he did not pay. He provided my information and I was not present nor agreed to pay for such debt. I have no financial responsibility whatsoever because I was not even aware. Last year a the collection showed up in my credit report and I contacted XXXX for an investigation. They only verified the accuracy of my identity but not the origin of the debt nor the correct debtor. I contacted the collector, Ability Recovery Services LLC ( the account was purchased by XXXX XXXX XXXX ) by certified mail on XX/XX/XXXX and instead of contacting/collecting from the correct debtor, they sent me another collection letter. I called them today XX/XX/XXXX and instead of investigating they hang up on me twice. Again, I never received medical services from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX nor I engaged in any financial transaction with them, therefore they should remove my name from such debt collection.

While attempting to enter the United States XXXX in 2021, I attempted to attend XXXX University and begin the process of completing my XXXX XXXX. In the course of my time at XXXX though, my schedule began to conflict with the timing and scheduling of the classes I was enrolled in and forced me to not be able to complete them. At the time, I had no way of submitting paperwork to begin the withdrawal process from the University. Inevitably, I failed the semester and was then told afterwards that I owed not only the University, but the collections agency. It was determined in the following years that XXXX University was found to be a predatory institution by the U.S. Department of Education. Currently, Ability Reovery Service has claimed responsibility of the debt repayment, even though I have attempted to reach out to the University to rectify this situation. As a servicemember reentering the military, I was not and still am not sure if I was covered by the Servicemember 's Civil Relief Act.

On XX/XX/XXXX the response was " Consumer should be advised that this matter has been and shall remain in a properly disputed status along with credit reporting bureaus. Ability Recovery Services is a third party debt collection agency representing our client XXXX XXXX XXXX, a medical debt buyer, in the collection of their outstanding medical debt. Attached please find a copy of the Itemized Bill for Consumer 's review. Our client is offering a 40 % discount with deletion for this matter. Consumer may contact our office and a representative would be happy to assist Consumer in resolving this matter. Thank you '' This collection agency has admitted that they purchase debt from creditors yet they are trying to CHARGE ME for the same debt that was CHARGED-OFF from another creditor. Which is ILLEGAL. The original creditor has already charged the debt and gave me a 1099 form which states the debt is written off. Either remove this account permanently or litigation is the next steps. Thank you

I am beyond exhausted with all my efforts to resolve this matter with ability recovery for a # of months Ive been back and forth trying to find a solution to have this account remove off my consumer report. I have no response back from any of my corresponders within all departments. Ive been advised by my attorney to file a suit and sue for for damages that Im entitled to under the FCRA. I prefer to work directly with this company in resolving this issue that will result in removal of this account off my consumer report. I have no choice but to sue should I find no response once more after this complaint, this is my final attempt. I will therefore move forward with my supporting document. Ability recovery has this account # on this report that I have absolutely no knowledge of. This has been a complete devastation to my entire family and myself due to fact this has held up an entire mortgage process having us nearly homeless. Please assist me in the aggressive removing of this account.

It shows it was for a medical provider XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and opened XX/XX/XXXX. I have not been to the hospital in years so I called them to find out what this is or if this was a mistake. They told me it was from a debt back in XX/XX/XXXX. I never received anything in writing about this from Ability Recovery or anyone else for that matter. I asked the customer service person what location it was and she didn't know. I asked what they would settle for and she said {$700.00} I know had I was made aware of this at the time I would have been able to get help from the provider on the cost. The women told me that I should have done it then when it was with the provider. Again I was never told or I would have. She was extremely rude and all I was trying to do was get information.

The complaint is with Ability Recovery Service. I was involved in an auto accident in XXXX. There was a medical bill that was PAID. It went to collections by accident, and I was able to successfully dispute it, as it was already paid. Ability Recovery Services contacted me on XXXX about a medical bill that they would not fully disclose. They informed me that if I did not pay them, they would have the police come and arrest me. They also insulted me in several terrible ways, calling me a financial failure and telling me that I belong in jail for not paying my debt. I told them that I had already successfully disputed this, then they told me they would be sending the police to determine whether I was a liar. I was at work during this time, minding my own business and it really upset me because I was not expecting someone to call and talk to me like that. They keep calling and I just want them to stop. Every time, they progress with the insults. This is not even a real debt!

While I was being pre-qualified to purchase a home in XX/XX/2018, I was denied due to derogatory mark on my credit report. I enrolled in XXXX XXXX to view this negative mark and saw that a collection item placed by Ability Recovery Services, original creditor XXXX University, was present as of XX/XX/2018. Ability Recovery Services failed to send me initial communication before placing this alleged derogatory status on my credit reports violating FCRA. On XX/XX/2018 I sent letters to both Ability Recovery Services and XXXX University requesting validation of debt, dispute put on credit reports while researching and deletion of tradeline if validation can not be provided. Neither Ability Recovery Services nor XXXX University provided me with validation of debt to date. They failed to respond within 30 days of receipt of these certified mails and thus the tradelines should have been deleted. I am requesting immediate removal of tradeline from all reporting credit bureaus.

Ability recovery services, has repeatedly called myself, family, and my mother and father in law about a very old debt. they have threatened saying that i will be in severe legal trouble if i do not call them or pay back this debt. i do not even know how they got my in laws numbers. but they call and harass at all times of the day and night. it is getting stressful and harassing at this point. They call from many different numbers, so it doesnt matter how many times i block a number they just call from a new one. and then when i try to call back the number it is some random person who answers, it is like their cell phone or landline. so it is like ability recovery services is rerouting their calls through other peoples phone numbers. the most recent call was today from ( XXXX ) XXXX at XXXX XXXX. yesterday XX/XX/20 calls from XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX and this one calls the most ( XXXX ) XXXX i get a call from that number almost on a daily basis.

The agency has violated multiple FDCPA regulations. The entity which provided me no notice that a debt existed or that the debt was in collections and placed the debt on my credit XX/XX/2021 in the amount of {$370.00} in an attempt to have me pay an unknown debt without validation. When seeking validation of the debt the agency will not provide it and hangs up saying if I do not acknowledge the debt they will not assist me, in an attempt to reset the statute of limitations before even validating the debt in writing. The agency uses harsh collection methods which violate the rights of consumers and do not align with FDCPA guidelines. I have sent the consumer a letter of validation on XX/XX/2021 without response. The agency limits the options we have to resolve debts before financial and credit impact occurs in an attempt to get a fast payment agreement and reset statute of limitations on what ia an older, non-obligated debt outside the statute of limitations

At first I was going to pay just to get them off my back so I tried to settle they refused on several occasions to accept a settlement stating they would never accept a settlement. So I reached out to the federal government and they stated they had been paid in full on XX/XX/2015 for the one class in the amount of XXXX which was more than what the actual class was. The collection has refused to remove debt and XXXX has to as well.

I reached out to this creditor to discuss a debt that was reported falsely on my credit three times to XXXX, XXXX and XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. The original account was opened in XX/XX/XXXX and removed in XX/XX/XXXX and ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICE re-opened this account in XX/XX/XXXX as a new account which its not. The representative proceeded to tell me that the charges weren't false and that I went to the doctor three days in a row and acquired 3 separate bills for the exact same amount which is XXXX with in those three days. Which is ridiculous. While im trying to explain to the representative that what he is saying is incorrect, he began to speak over me. I told him that i would like proof of these three separate bills with a total of XXXX for each on 3 separate occasions and he hung up on me.

Starting XXXX of this year, I got a alert on all 3 credit bureaus that I have a new collection from this fraudulent company. I looked up this company to inquire & was immediately verbally harassed & hung up on for trying to gather information on this collection. Ive never had a collection or unpaid anything IN MY LIFE & it is ruining my credit as of XX/XX/2023. Ive dispute w/ all 3 credit bureaus and only XXXX confirmed to me that this debt isnt even under my name or social security! Complete Fraudsters taking advantage of hard working citizens for profit. As a young armed forces veteran I expect better care but respect & honor only goes so far for many. I want this collection removed indefinitely, Ive tried contacting multiple times over the last few months & constantly I get harassed & verbally abused & hung up when I try to get receipts or concrete info detailing anything! Please, by XXXX help me get rid of these hasslers off my credit. Blessings

I did not respond and this week, I have a collection account on my XXXX credit report for this fraudulent charge. This is a fraudulent charge because this is not my name and I never received this service and I have never spent time in XXXX, Arizona. I am putting a freeze on my SSN and filing a fraud alert with my bank and the credit agencies. I am working with a XXXX XXXX to ensure my identity is not compromised further.

These 2 collections were taken off my credit in XXXX of XXXX. Myself and the instance I had at the time contacted the collection agency and my insurance told them the company had a year to bill them and after that they could not.

For about 6 months, I have been disputing an collection account placed with the credit bureaus by ABILITY RECOVERY SERVICES , LLC. This is not my debt. I have previously called the public phone number for Ability Recovery Services and explained that I am not going to pay a collection that is n't mine and to remove the fictitious report from my credit report. The debt collector hung up on me. I have disputed with XXXX and XXXX and they have still not removed the account from my credit report. I have filed a CFPB complaint ( # XXXX ) against Ability Recovery Services and their response was they will be requesting validation and send it to me. In the meantime, they are tarnishing my credit. CFPB please help me. This company must be investigated for these illegal acts. They are ruining my credit report. Ability Recovery Services is responsible for me being denied for a credit card solely based on a collection account they reported.

Ability Recovery is a debt collection agency reporting illegally to the bureaus under their own name which is illegal on a MA Consumer credit report. MA state law says that an account may only be reported by the original creditor ( law below for your records ). They have been informed of their illegal activity via certified mail three times. They have failed to reply to take action for removal. 209 CMR 18.17 : Unfair Practices : A debt collector may not use unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect any debt. Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the following conduct is a violation of 209 CMR 18.17. ( 11 ) For a debt collector to report to a consumer reporting agency on its transactions or experiences with a debtor in the debt collectors name. However, a debt collector may, with the express written authorization from the creditor, report to a consumer reporting agency in the creditors name.

In XXXX of XXXX I visited the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX twice : once to receive XXXX to a small lXXXX XXXX injury, then again a week or two later for a XXXX XXXX XXXX. I believe the bills must have been sent to the wrong address. I did not have insurance and the bills went to collections, eventually popping up as two collections accounts on my credit report. One was in the neighborhood of {$1200.00}, and the other maybe {$800.00} ( it seems so long ago ). In XXXX of XXXX, I negotiated and resolved these two collections accounts, which were removed from my credit report. XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed the {$1300.00} collection from Ability Recovery Service on my credit report. I contacted them and asked for something like a medical billing statement or some kind documentation that shows the services I was originally charged for, which they said they could not provide. I contacted the original creditor and they could not find my account.

Hello, My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am reaching out to complain on XXXX for their not of response and reporting. I have done everything and followed every step on removing false accounts that are reporting and still have not heard anything. It has passed the 30 days multiple times and at this point, and nothing has not been resolved. They keep reporting accounts that do not belong to me. I have mailed several certified letters, that are dated, that have everything listed in detail, that have everything required and they still done anything to remove them. I am very frustrated at the point and need to get these accounts removed as soon as possible. I will be listing some dates below that I have sent out to them : XX/XX/2020XX/XX/2020 XX/XX/2020 XX/XX/2020 XX/XX/2020 ALL THESE LETTERS HAVE BEEN SENT VIA CERTIFIED MAIL AND HAVE A STAMP WHEN THEY RECEIVED THE LETTERS.

The last time, I have responded to this debt collector was on XX/XX/2018 n response to their letter on XX/XX/2018. I have responded to this debt collector asking them to show proof of the original debt in the amount of {$380.00} and the second one {$890.00} for services rendered by XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX and that it belongs to me. They have not done so, yet they keep reporting it to the credit bureaus. It's been affecting my credit score and my overall credit health. I have asked them multiple times, kindly, in writing to supply proof, but they have not. I have no knowledge of this medical bill and would gladly pay it if I was fully aware of its original existence. The next step will be to file a complaint with the Pennsylvania Attorney General 's office to make them aware of the unfair business practices of this company, followed by filing civil charges against Ability Recovery for violating my credit history without solid proof.

The original date of the debt incurred was on XXXX XXXX of XXXX, for {$300.00}, where I was in a XXXX XXXX and hospitalized against my will. Because it was against my will, I told them the state was responsible for the debt. The debt has since been transferred from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Texas XXXX, to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which then sold it to XXXX, and apparently XXXX sold it to Ability recovery services, which has falsely reported it on my credit, causing damages by interest rates/lack of transfer offers on my cards, lower than appropriate pre-approvals for loans for the house I'm trying to buy, and significant XX/XX/XXXXfrom this which I'm having to talk to my XXXX about, and expect them to pay for. I attempted to dispute the debt with XXXX, however, they will not remove it saying the creditor is providing appropriate information. That's clearly not true since it's showing on my credit report as a new debt from XXXX of XXXX.

I contacted XXXX XXXX and talked to someone named XXXX in patient services or billing. She told me that I don't owe the hospital anything. I believe this company is fake and bought my address from another company. They are calling me from XXXX PA from this number. ( XXXX ) XXXX. The lady will not give me her name. They are abusive. She gave me the wrong address when she called. And the phone number goes straight to her not to an operator. The bill said {$150.00} at first and now it says {$150.00}. I want to report Ability Recovery Services for fraudulent collection activity. They put this as debt on my credit report from XX/XX/2017 and I want it removed now. They brought my credit report down 20 pts and the lady that keeps calling me said I need to pay it to get it removed.

Similarly, in XX/XX/XXXX I received another bill for {$2700.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX. Again, I requested for a written explanation and disputed the amount as well. Thus far I have yet to receive any explanation from either company even though they claim that no interest has been included on their billing statements.

I want to make another complain on this collection. This debt was claimed by another collection agency XXXX in the amount of {$900.00} in XXXX and then they closed it because this is not my account. Then Ability Recovery took over the debt again and reopened it in XX/XX/XXXX for the amount of {$1500.00}. This LLC is a scammer and I won't stand for them tarnishing my name and credit. I need something to be done about this because this is against the law to report false information like this. I need this bad debt out of my life from all three credit Bureau 's. This is not my debt as I explained. If you have a paper with a digital signature that doesn't mean it's me until I see proof with my real signature this is a scam.

They were reporting my payments wrong to XXXX and to the credit bureaus. At the time of filing the complaint I only owed them {$570.00}. On XX/XX/2020, I paid {$230.00}. On XXXX XXXX, I paid {$230.00}. I paid {$100.00} on XX/XX/2020. That is a total of {$570.00} dollar, which is all that I owed. They are now telling me that I owe them {$50.00} and refuse to credit my account as Paid in Full and correct my credit report. The bill stated that I owed them {$2900.00} dollars and that is what I paid them. I am not paying them any more money. I have attached Complaint XXXX, the original letter I received with the amount of debt owed, and a screen shot of the payments made since the last complaint to prove that the account is paid in full.

AFTER REVIEWING MY CREDIT REPORT I HAVE NOTICE THAT A MEDICAL BILL IS ON MY CREDIT REPORT THAT DOES NOT BELONG TO ME. FIRST OFF ALL OF MY MEDICAL EXPENSES ARE PAID IN FULL BY THE United States OF AMERICA. I HAVE NEVER DEALT WITH ABILITY RECOVERY OR ANY COMPANY THAT THEY REPRESENT. Additionally, I am allowed under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ( HIPAA ) to protect my privacy and medical records from third parties. I do not recall giving permission to any provider for them to release my medical information to a third party. I am aware that the HIPAA does allow for limited information about me but anything more is to only be revealed with the patients authorization. Not only is this debt does not belong to me due to fraud but your company could have also been in violation of HIPPA if it was mine.

I went to Florida Hospital XXXX XXXX XXXX in the year XXXX with a XXXX insurance. I was provided service and I gave my XXXX details. In XXXX, I was monitoring my credit report and saw collections from ability recovery of an amount of {$850.00}. When I called them to explain that I had XXXX and that the provider was responsible for claiming the money from XXXX, they were mean and rude to me, called me a liar and refusing to take responsibility. They will not listen to me or even give me any information. They only want my credit card details. They have been calling my phone constantly, threatening to hit my credit. I have contacted the credit bureau to get this resolved but the collection agency keeps putting it on there. I'm totally not liable for this debt. The provider failed to claim payment from the insurance I had at the time. I don't use that insurance anymore and i'm not responsible for the said amount. Thank you.

On this month, I now have a collection on my credit file from Ability Recovery for the fraudulent account at XXXX University!

This debt appeared on my credit report and I have no knowledge of this debt and no one has sent anything to verify this debt. I have seen several reviews about this company attempting to collect debt that has not been disputed. I have not received anything in writing about this debt and It has been falsely placed on my credit report. Under the FCRA a client is supposed to receive notice about what goes on their credit report and the credit bureau is supposed to thoroughly review and verify these items. According to the FCRA If a consumer makes a timely request for debt validation and a debt collector fails to provide proper validation or does not respond at all, the debt collector may not legally continue to pursue the debt. If collection activity continues, the consumer may file a lawsuit in state or federal court for violation of the FDCPA. This DEBT was listed as XX/XX/2018 and nothing has been received.

Received Validation of debt around XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX called and settled the debt that I received Validation on. Used account number to pay debt. On XX/XX/XXXX, called Ability Recovery Services due to account still reporting to credit bureaus as unpaid. I was told it may take a little longer due to Covid. Called back on XX/XX/XXXX, because I felt that it should not have taken this long. This is when I was told that the account paid was not the account I received the bill/Validation for. Was told they would have someone to contact me. On XX/XX/XXXX I called again about this account because I only authorized my card to be run for the account I received the bill/validation for and any other accounts was unauthorized. I was told there is nothing he could do, he would have to send the dispute to someone else and I should expect a response in 30 days. 30 plus days has come and gone and no communication.

I submitted a complaint with CFPB about Ability Recovery. Ability Recovery stated that they are only the 3rd party trying to collect. XXXX XXXX XXXX are the original debt collectors, but I have never done business with them at all and I absolutely owe them nothing. XXXX had already hired another debt collector and it had to be dismissed because they couldn't prove that this was my debt. Now XXXX XXXX XXXX hired someone else to collect. I asked for proof that this is my collection and they sent the documents attached, which is absolutely not proof. First of all, you will see on page 1, they have my birthday as XX/XX/XXXX. That alone should tell you that this is not me. I was born in XXXX. The rest of the pages just show a name addresses and an amount due. THIS IS NOT PROOF! Please remove the collections from all the bureaus that you reported to immediately because it is affecting my credit.

I just found out by a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2023. I owe more than one thousand in a school I never signed into as part of a contract. I never had auto payments deducted because I never signed on to auto pays and the collector known as Ability Recovery Services has been found as a fraudulent company who harasses and attempts to collect amounts with discrepancy and not accurate. I sent a formal letter to this collection company asking for information that goes to as how I owe anything to that school and they could not provide by Law any documents except an enrollment not signed by me papers. That is how this company is going by. That by Law is fraud. They have not rights at all in the state of Florida to attempt to collect any un accurate debt. The papers this collection agency has, does not show nor proof I owe debt to this school nor are the papers a contract signed by me.

This company is still being lying scammers they are as Ive already complained about this company & fully explained the situation. My new issue currently is the fact they lied to you guys ( CFPB ) claiming that they deleted the collection off all 3 credit bureaus. Its been over 30 days & it is still showing on my credit when they said to wait merely 10 days for the change to be adjusted. Im afraid they were lying because as I read theyre response it raises a red flag Why would claim to have cleared the matter & in the same response to ( CFPB ) & consumer say that you can contact our clients & were offering 50 % discount for deletion! These guys are professional fraudsters. That itemized bill is complete fraud. I hate that I even have to go through this! After all the blatant disrespect & slander Ive taken from this company in the last few months I deserve better man seriously.

Ability Recovery Services is trying to collect a write off debt of XXXX for XXXX University. A XXXX University Instructor hid the students grade until the end of the semester. While submitting every assignment on time throughout the course, the grade reflected an A grade average without any missed assignments. Without indication that any assignments were not received by the instructor, the final grade was posted, the instructor gave the student a grade below average and refused to allow the student to resubmit the assignment. The financial aid office returned the studentss federal payments accusing the student of not completing course work causing a negative balance on the students account. XXXX University has refused to give the student an unofficial transcript and have posted student federal refunds on the account not verified by the student or validated by the course work.

I have requested an itemized validation of the debt because it is a hospital bill that I would like to know if I have already paid a portion of or that I didn't owe to begin with. I got one statement from them that had a one line total, date and who it was for, nothing else. Every time they call me, they ask for my date of birth, last four of SSN and my street address. They call from different numbers and I do not feel comfortable giving any of that info out. I have asked them to quit calling me while I am at work ( I XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and that they can reach me after XXXX XXXX, but not only do they continue to call, they called 2 hours after I told them not to call me at work. I have started paying down the smaller debt directly to the XXXX. These people are nasty and rude and I do not want to pay them anything. I have proof of my last three payments to the hospital ER.

I attempted to attend XXXX University with a student loan. While awaiting student loan approval, XXXX University registered me in a class and charged me tuition without my knowledge. I was unsure of the process and never completed activities beyond a survey. Some months later I was approached by a counselor who told me I was at risk for not finishing my class. I advised that I had never signed up for a class. They told me to contact the school. I did, but no resolution came from it. Some months later, when my loan was approved, I contacted my admissions counselor to begin courses. She was no longer employed by the school. I emailed the person who they told me was now responsible. That person never responded. Some time later I started getting collection notices. I have disputed every one and every one has been found to be fraud, but they just send it to a new agency.

I have insurance and so does my wife. The point I am making is out of no where an account from Ability Recovery Service, appeared on my credit. I reached out to them immediately because the debt does not belong to me and I never received a collection notice from them. I have yet to hear back from the- but they communicated to the bureaus and verified the account belong to me. I have enclosed a copy of the insert from my credit that report the account. I was in the middle of financing when this account popped up on my credit and I have never received any communication from them what so ever. As you can see it says the account was Opened on XX/XX/2020 and it was First Reported on XX/XX/2020- MY POINT IS WE ARE IN XXXX ... XXXX WHEN DID THEY SEND ME A NOTICE OF DISPUTE??? IT APPEARS AS SOON AS THE RECEIVED THE DEBT IN XXXX THE PUT IT ON MY CREDIT IN XXXX!!

This amount was for bail and the person went back to jail so the bond should not have been called. There was not skipping of bail. The person the bond was written on did appear in court as per the agreement. Beyond that, it was not clear to me that I ever signed any of their paperwork as I live in another state and was not involved in the transaction. They claim to have my signature but I do not know how they would have gotten that. I tried to work with them but it is my feeling that bail bondsmen feel as they answer to no higher authority and could do whatever they please. The original amount of this debt was around $ XXXX and now they are adding interest at a completely undisclosed and unknown rate and date of inception and means of calculation. The whole thing is unnerving. No one ever has the same answer and no one knows what anyone else is doing there.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, an affiliate of Ability Recovery Services, has been soliciting a payment from me relating to a medical bill I paid last year.I called them and was not given any information relating to the bill or why I was being contacted by this third party. The person on the phone told me they were aware the call was being recorded then told me I was breaking the law by recording it.The representative then told me that I had said that I was refusing to pay the bill, which I did not do, and that they would be reporting me to the authorities for this infraction.This is a total scam, these people have bought my information with the expressed intention of intimidating me into paying a fraudulent debt.I cannot believe companies are allowed to put their names on paper and operate with impunity.I am writing my senator about this.I hope action is taken.

Ability Recovery Service reported a collection for $ XXXX to the bureaus in XXXX, for a debt in XXXX. Theyre claiming I paid nothing on the debt ( taken out XX/XX/XXXX ) but state the delinquency occurred XX/XX/XXXX three years later. The document does not have a grace period of three years, so that timelines is impossible. I pointed that out ; it was not fixed. I pointed out that the original debtor had 90 days from the date of delinquency to report/sell the debt, and the collector 90 days to report it- it was not fixed. At this point, my problem is with ARS AND the credit bureaus ( mainly XXXX and XXXX ) because Ive disputed it maybe XXXX, with supporting documents, to no avail. I am entitled to be represented accurately by the bureaus, instead Ive received letters refusing to even look at my disputes- even if I did provide supporting evidence.

Ability Recovery Services is reporting a collection account in violation of FDCPA. I have never received a notice from this collection agency. By law, I should have been granted 30 days to dispute the debt. I became aware of this account as I checked my credit report. I am requesting this collection agency to provide proof that I have received their letters or any other communication that they may be falsely claiming to have mailed to me. The reason I emphasize this matter is because I lived XXXX for a very long time and I have recently relocated back to the States. I know for a fact that I did not have the opportunity to dispute. 2- I am requesting a valid/legit proof of debt written contract or agreement. Please note that this agency has not listed a phone number on the credit report and has only listed the following address : XXXX pa XXXX

XXXX is reporting the debt of XXXX XXXX / Ars LLC / Ability Recovery Services , LLC of {$860.00}. This item does not belong to me ; I have never had any business dealings with these companies. In a prior dispute, this item was removed from a different credit file ; however, there was no XXXX response. This account is fraudulent not belonging to me I have not had a relationship of any kind. As a result of the false information or accounts obtained falsely, it negatively impacts my credit, and the bureaus or the collection agencies have NOT done due diligence to verify and rectify.

In addition, my credit report for XXXX has not been updated with " Consumer Disputes This Account Information ''. Also, they have not responded to my previous requests in the time allowed.

This is a follow up complaint, as prior complaint was closed without addressing actual issues. In the attached documentation it is clear that inaccurate information is being reported and illegal duplication accounts being reported. No validation response has been received from ability recovery. The documentation attached to the response to the complaint does not provide any justification for incorrect and inconsistent dates, or the illegal duplicate reporting. Again, the information reporting is false and defamatory and needs to be removed immediately. The response is incomplete at best and provides false information. Stating that I have been provided documentation is an absolute lie, I have never received any documentation from Ability Recovery. I provided proof of the dating inconsistency and duplicate reporting, which is illegal.

I called them telling them that I had been trying to get debt validation and they sent over printouts from when I attended the school the debt came from. I called them telling them that this does not show me how the amount is what it is. She said well thats all the University sent over. I said well you need to take it off my credit report if you are not going to send sufficient paperwork showing how this amount is owed because printouts of the work I did in the classes is not sufficient. She started yelling at me and cursing saying well the debt has been validated we aren't taking XXXX off your XXXX report then hung up the phone in my face. Ive been asking for this info for months and they only provided printouts of the work I submitted while I was at XXXX University but nothing validating debt. I do not owe any money to this school.

I have looked at my insurance portal and this isn't an amount that matches what they say I owe. The date that the collection came on my credit report is XX/XX/2023. The only thing close to that is a service date of XX/XX/2023, and that wouldn't have even been run through the insurance company, much less been submitted for collections.

Collection appeared on my report out of no where for the first time, with no original date of debt from original creditor, after investigating myself, I found out this is an debt from XX/XX/XXXX which is almost XXXX years ago which make it illegal to collect or send to a collection agency. I had no clue about this debt until XX/XX/XXXX, I also had medicaid during the time this was even a factor.. XX/XX/XXXX the state of XXXX law has changed to stop reporting or collecting medical debts that are 3 years old this is why i feel as if this medical debt magically appeared out of no where! I will like a cease and desist & this to be removed from my credit as it exhibits me from progressing in personal affair.. I would also like for it to be no longer reporting especially when law goes into effect XX/XX/XXXX.

Collection appeared on my report out of no where for the first time, with no original date of debt from original creditor, after investigating myself, I found out this is an debt from XX/XX/XXXX which is almost 5 years ago which make it illegal to collect or send to a collection agency. I had no clue about this debt until XX/XX/XXXX, I also had XXXX during the time this was even a factor.. XX/XX/XXXX the state of virginia law has changed to stop reporting or collecting medical debts that are 3 years old this is why i feel as if this medical debt magically appeared out of no where! I will like a cease and desist & this to be removed from my credit as it exhibits me from progressing in personal affair.. I would also like for it to be no longer reporting especially when law goes into effect XX/XX/XXXX.

I began to review my credit earlier this year and noticed several inaccuracies. Out of an abundance of concern, I requested that VALIDATION in accordance to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act be provided to me timely for my personal and legal review. However, after four separate requests made timely for this, the company has failed to provide me with this validation. The company not only denies me of my rights as a consumer under this act, they also continue to employ illegal practices, reporting tactics to bureaus, and harassment methods via phone and letter. They continue to tell me " they have verified the debt as belonging to me '' but refuse to send the methods they utilized to arrive at this conclusion. Yet, reporting this information on my credit file causing me stress and financial harm.

Looking at my credit report on XXXX XXXX I saw an account in collections and I never gave any company the right to share my information whatsoever. I see one for {$230.00} which is listed on my credit report as account XXXX. I sent a letter to the agency on XXXX XXXX requesting that they validate the debt and show competent evidence bearing my signature that I have or ever had some contractual obligation to pay them. I do n't know this company and they have never sent me anything stating that I owe them. The last company I reported about this same account must have sold my information to this company. As a result they are in violation of the FCRA ( Fair Credit Reporting Act ), the FDCPA ( Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ) and HIPPA ( Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ).

Ability Recovery Services is attempting to collect a fraudulent debt and reporting illegally on my credit report. In XX/XX/XXXX I sent, via certified mail, a 93A Demand Notice requesting validation of debt and informing Ability of their illegal reporting. They failed to reply. In XX/XX/XXXX I sent a second 93A Demand, via certified mail. They failed to reply however they did remove their listing from my credit reports. In XX/XX/XXXX I sent a third request for validation of debt. They failed to reply. In XX/XX/XXXX Ability fabricated the same account, claiming it was a new account, then again reported to the bureaus. They failed to provide me with my rights under federal and state law. They also added this " new '' fabricated account illegally to the bureaus in violation of federal and state law.

This debt is from XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX daughter signed up for the online high school in XXXX. It said in the agreement if you complete less than 50 % of the program ( that was paid monthly ) and cancel you will not have to pay anymore and entitles to a refund. She completed only 10 % of the entire program and decided to go back to public high school and they charged us for the entire cost. It's been five years and they have not refunded but put the account in collections and after 5 years. We should not have to pay for what what she did not use. I got a certificate from them in XXXX under the career school and paid in full. They used my information to attach to my daughter 's account to report a collection. She was XXXX at the time she signed up and they took advantage of her situation.

I have never received a debt validation letter, any form of written communication, or proof of this debt UNTIL XX/XX/2023. WHICH IS ILLEGAL AND IN VIOLATION OF MY RIGHTS AS A CFPB RED CONFIRMED OVER THE PHONE. THE DEBT NEEDS TO BE REMOVED BECAUSE THEY DID NOT RESPOND FOR NEARLY 60 DAYS. RESPONSES MUST BE WITHIN 30 DAYS TO BE LEGAL. t claims it was opened in XXXX of XXXX but this debt did not appear on my credit report until late XXXX. This is completely illegal and against my rights. They suggested I pay 50 % of the bill to have this deleted. IT MUST BE DELETED BECAUSE OF LACK OF TIMILY COMMUNICATION. THERE IS NO OTHER RESOLUTION THAT IS WITHIN MY LEGAL RIGHTS.

I have disputed this debt with the school and debt collector and they are still reporting it on my credit report. The documentation they provide to support billing is not only confusing but it also lists a statement date that covers the year XXXX in the top right corner and I did not attend until XXXX. XXXX is showing loan disbursement amounts totals of {$3600.00} disbursed on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX is showing loan disbursement totals of {$3600.00} disbursed on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. There is also a discrepancy with the statement indicating that it covers Winter Quarter XXXX at the top right. Please remove this from my credit report as this debt does not appear to be mine.

After reviewing my credit profile on XX/XX/XXXX I identified a discrepancy with account listed under Ability Recovery Services. I requested a validation on XX/XX/XXXX as this was an account that I did not recognize. I reviewed my credit report again on XX/XX/XXXX and accounts were listed as disputed by consumer but I had not received any correspondence from creditor to validate this account as correctly belonging to me. Therefore on XX/XX/XXXX I sent a 2nd validation letter. Credit report was reviewed again on XX/XX/XXXX and the account is still reflecting on my report and I do not believe the account belongs to me nor that the creditor has authorization to legally access my medical records and to attempt to collect on this account and these accounts continue to negatively affect me.

Ability recovery has erroneously re-aged a debt reporting on my credit files after request for validation and dispute. I filed an initial complaint with CFPB in XXXX of XXXX on lack of response to a debt validation request from Ability Recovery Services LLC for a debt in the amount of {$730.00} originating from XXXX University. After receiving the validation information sent from Ability Recovery Services I filed a dispute for erroneous information. The date of the original account on the letter they sent me reads XX/XX/XXXX. The debt was being reported to the credit bureaus as having an opening date in XXXX. Instead of correcting these dates the company has re-aged the debt to XXXX in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act! This type of predatory action should be stopped.

Not only was the company unable to provide me validation of the debt they sent me a generic peace of paper that doesnt have my Signature on it nor does it have me listed at as the patient who received these services which was the information that I requested for validation purposes. I also asked them for their method in which they verified the debt was mine and I owed for those services. They have reported this incorrect information on my credit file which has hindered me from obtaining financing. I asked that if this company can not provide me with validation of this debt that they remove this debt from my credit file!

Ability Recovery somehow refuses to acknowledge that validity of debt does not allow them to report inconsistencies, inaccurate information and duplications. I have disputed this information several times, and it has been fraudulently verified. The validity of debt does not allow for false reporting of dates and amounts. It is defamation to report false information including dates, amounts, and duplicated debt to make it appear that debt is newer, older, or to attempt to collect more money. I requested debt validation in XX/XX/2020, and received no response. I was not given any opportunity to validate, verify or ( if valid ) satisfy the debt prior to credit reporting. The attached shows clear inaccurate date, inconsistencies, and duplicate reporting all violations of the FCRA.

Ability Recovery Service has damaged my credit terribly with duplicated collections that they refuse to verify with my signature, list of services, dates, and amounts. I've called and emailed them about removing these fraudulent collections and they tell me that I have to pay or have bad credit forever. The staff is very rude and kept insisting that I owe this debt. I even told them how the same exact amounts were duplicated multiple times and that there's practically no way that can happen with several visits to the hospital as they are claiming I did. I've fought with them for over 2 years and this has impacted my family and business tremendously. I've been denied resources because of this on my credit. Please investigate them and remove these items from my credit reports.

The first collection agency I disputed this with sent no proof and harassed me over the phone that I owed {$1000.00} to them. I filed a complaint and they deleted the collection. I now have the same collection on my credit report from a different agency called Ability Recovery Services. I called in XXXX and still have not received any proof from this collection agency about the {$1000.00}. I researched Ability Recovery Services and they are not even licensed to collect debts in the state of Arkansas, so why are they harassing me?

Upon receiving my recent Credit report, I have found information regarding debt that is being claimed against me. I've been working diligently to improve my credit, despite having difficulties with collection agencies in the past. I've done my research on debt collection practices and how to manage my personal finances better. I've been saving for quite some time to pay off my accounts and finally did. This was difficult as the collectors were unwilling to work with me at times. That said I was able to pay off the accounts by starting with a new slate on my credit. The collection agencies in question have not removed the accounts from my credit report yet the rest being damaged because of it. They informed me that they would stop reporting the accounts but haven't.

Ability Recovery Services apparently states that they are collecting for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, a debt that is not mine as I was never seen by those physicians. I disputed the debt when it first appeared on my 3 credit bureau reports in XX/XX/2017 as well as with the company. It was removed from my credit reports during that time. Then the debt was sold to XXXX XXXX who placed it on my credit report, it was again removed. It is now appearing a 3rd time being reported this month as a debt that is owed. The amount of {$180.00} appears each time. It is not a debt that I owe. I consider this harassment to have it removed each time. It should be illegal that they can keep reporting the same debt that is not mine in the first place and affecting my ability to buy.

I have made reasonable attempts in writing to contact this debt collection agency after finding their contact information on my credit reports. I have requested valid documentation to show that this is indeed my debt and I should pay it. I have received nothing except a billing notice with no pertinent information to show what services were provided. I have made an attempt to contact the original service provider and they did not respond to me. I am unwilling to pay a debt I do not owe. Ability Recovery Services are reporting unsubstantiated claims on my credit file. I have given them ample opportunity to resolve this issue with me directly and they have not done so. I am of the opinion that this is a fraudulent attempt to collect monies that are not owed.

What I follow your line from suggesting that there is information that is incorrect in my credit reports to the fact that I find that it is not correct first the 3 office that gives fact information concerning the credit repair even when I keep them informed this one is not doing its job properly. He continues to put information that is fair in my credit report for which I am not guilty is that I see what any service at as if the right to put information that is unfair to the fact in my credit report and which means that my credit can not advance and that my score is really stupid or else a credible one who will not be able to allow me to take credit or want to work on my credit so that it can advance and that I was waiting for the level I am wishing for.

I attended XXXX College and majored in the XXXX XXXX program. I talked to the representative and after committing to the program I found out they misrepresented themselves tell me that the classes would help me in my career and also that I could transfer to a four year university after completing this course. I found out shorting that wasn't true and that their courses don't meet state requirements. I shortly contacted them and let them know that their program wasn't transferable and that I was no longer interested in the program. XXXX College continue to debit money from my account and I had to end up closing my account to stop them. I then tried to apply for a auto loan and was denied because they reported to the credit bureau that I owe them XXXX.

I have filled a dispute several times through XXXX explaining that this is not my debt. I don't live in XXXX.. I live in XXXX. I requested the company send proof of this and the only thing they can send is an invoice. No letter showing that I may have acknowledged this debt or taken responsibility of this. I have no unpaid medical bills. This is clearly fraud. I refuse to pay for something I didn't do. My next order of business is pursuing legal action. I would rather pay a lawyer to sue you for pain and suffering than to pay for something fraudulent. This only shows on my XXXX credit report and XXXX is agreeing with the company on this bogus proof or debt they are providing. Is XXXX an accomplice? I am happy to add them to the lawsuit as well.

In XX/XX/2020 I paid {$500.00}. I have a balance due of {$1900.00} after paying the {$500.00}. Prior to XX/XX/2020 I made smaller payments ; I lost my job and I was unable to make the payments. I called on XX/XX/2020 to make a payment and I was told I would have to make the payments to a collection agency in the amount of {$2300.00}. I asked to make monthly payments to cover the amount for {$1900.00} but they would not accept it. I believe the sent the debt to the collection agency prematurely and that they should work with me to continue paying on the debt. They destroyed my credit rating ; and the payments would have been made in larger amounts now that I have a job. Companies involved : XXXX University, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, MD XXXX

To this date no proof of validation has been submitted to me as demanded. I have never done any business nor do I wish to do so. The alleged debt is in the amount of {$1200.00} which is a fraudulent charge. By law pursuant to 15 U.S.C. section 1681s-2 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Ability Recovery Services has failed to validate this alleged debt within the 30 days allotted time frame pursuant to 15 U.S.C.

I have fraud alerts on my account because someone has been using my information. Upon investigation I noticed that this account has been deleted off my records 4 times and resold. If this collection company doesnt remove this off my records immediately I will be forced to take legal action because theyre in violation of the FCRA and theyre breaking the law. I would like a phone call from the company that says I owe them and I want to know that this is off my records because its destroying my credit. Im giving them one week to respond and get this removed or I will get attorneys involved.

The school was notified and information was shared of the situation where a leave of absence would be required. However, the school did not update my status and blocked me from returning when I tried to complete the degree. In addition, The school stated the returned funds to the department of education which has not been founded. Therefore, since this was a statement they applied they charged my account for monies in which they stated that was returned. In addition they have blocked me from receiving my transcripts to continue education elsewhere. now they are attacking my credit report with a falsified bill of service that never occurred.

I disputed this account since I have never been do the hospital where the collection came from. After months of sending them information I was told my the collector that the account would be deleted. Two weeks later is was deleted. Now, months later, the debt has reappeared and they tell me it was just updated and was never deleted and now they want more information. They are super rude and even harassed my mother at her address for years with letters and phone calls before they finally asked her for my phone number. Very unprofessional and are not willing to listen to logic. They just want money, don't care if their information is correct or not.

Ability Recovery Services llc is still reporting a fraud account from XXXX XXXX. I have disputed this account and they replied on CFPB that they was removing it from my credit report. As of today this collection is still on my credit report ( XXXX and XXXX ). This is a violation of FCRA and if Ability Recovery Services violates the FDCPA, EFTA, FCRA, or any state law, you may be entitled to money damages. For example, under the FDCPA, you may receive up to {$1000.00} in damages plus actual damages. The FDCPA also has a fee-shift provision, which means the debt collector will pay your attorneys fees and costs. At this point, I gave this company enough time to remove this fraudulent debt but they are playing games.

I want my contract with this company for the alleged account with my wet signature and the company 's signature. I want the services that I had with this company, and I also want to know if this company is a third-party debt collector. I have already filed a complaint with the Attorney General and the FTC. Pursuant to 18 USC 8 & HJR 192 of 1933 it's the US obligation. The account has several different dates on my credit report, and they are also reporting to all three CRA 's and I want them to delete the account from my report. I DO NOT give my consent to this company to report anything on my credit report

My credit report shows a collection account by XXXX XXXX XXXX for something called " XXXX XXXX ''. I sent the attached letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX requesting proof in the form of a signed document by me stating that I am responsible for this account and to date no one has responded to my request. I believe this is a violation of the Fair Credit Credit Reporting Act. My identity was stolen and I am only finding out about it now as I went to apply for a credit card. I am demanding strict proof that this is my debt and I want to see where I signed for this loan/credit card or whatever the original debt is. It has been over XXXX since since I made my request and this is hindering my approval for an apartment.

I am composing this dispute letter on my own behalf. Please be aware that I am well-informed about my rights, as I have recently familiarized myself with US laws . I am aware that, under the HIPAA law ( Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ), I have the right to safeguard my privacy and medical records from third parties. It is important to clarify that I do not grant any third-party collection agency access to my personal financial information. While I acknowledge that HIPAA allows for limited disclosure of information about me, such details may only be disclosed with the patient 's explicit authorization. Consequently, my request comprises two aspects as outlined below :

The collection agency is practicing illegal acts : Ability Recovery Services , LLC located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX. They have been on my credit file before XXXX but they are reporting the account in their office as new as of XX/XX/XXXX. The account they have is more than a year old. That is illegal.

Ability Recovery has also failed to provide copies of any HIPAA authorization since this is a medical account or copies of any agreement that bears the signature of the alleged debtor wherein he or she agrees to pay the creditor agreement that I have with their client that grants them the authority to collect on the alleged debt, or proof of acquisition by purchase or assignment, and authorization under subtitle D of the ARRA, SEC. 13401.

I am filing a complaint today against the above company because I have asked for debt validation and have yet to receive anything saying that I owe a debt to the actual company. Also I have never signed a contract nor had any services through Ability. Not to mention they appeared in my credit report before but was disputed due to not having validation of me owing their company any money. I recently checked my credit reports and saw they were back on there without giving me the proper notification of them putting the debt back onto my reports. I do not have any knowledge of me owing Abilitly for any services through them and when I requested validation of the alleged debt, they did n't respond.

Ability Recovery Services keeps calling me about an outstanding debt. I attempt to talk about the debt and recieve very hostile treatment from the agent. The agent 's name was XXXX. I called and asked what this was about, she said I had an outstanding debt with XXXX XXXX ( somewhere I do not recalll attending ). She bluntly states " Do you want to do anything about this, or not? '' and I said " What can i do? '' the agent then says of course not, you'll have an outstanding report on your credit in full, and hung up. This particular company has attempted to collect on this debt many times and everytime the agent is very hostile, and has threatened law enforcement action in the past as well.

I contacted the company to confirm the debt and it was accurate and the amounts they were suggesting I owed. I offered to pay what was set to be paid, even though all services were not provided to me. They threatened instead of resolution to file with the credit reporting agency instead of verifying the debt, confirming the amounts were owed, in fact saying they did not have that type of communication available to me. My only option was to pay the full amount in payments or credit reports. They then reported my credit against the Fair Debt Collection. https : //www.ftc.gov/enforcement/rules/rulemaking-regulatory-reform-proceedings/fair-debt-collection-practices-act-text

When I check my credit report and I notice Ability Recovery Services states that owe this XXXX money. At some point they remove the debt and then add it back on which is totally illegal. If I owed XXXX XXXX any funds, why didn't the school reach out to me or sell me my debt for whatever percentage it was sold to Ability Recovery Services.

I dont know know this company, and they have harassed me several times ; I have repeatedly asked to them explanation of the collection and to send a letter to my current address validating the debt and explain the charges. They have not done so. I have offered to pay this debt in full if they are willing to remove this derogatory remark even though I dont believe I owe us this debt, they have however, refused to answer me after that as well. They continue to harass me without explanation or whom the original creditor was. I believe they have reported to my credit twice from different company names XXXX XXXX XXXX And Ability Recovery Services

I have recently been looking into repairing my credit. While doing so, I came across a collection on my credit from Ability Recovery Services which stated that I have a balance of {$2400.00}. I have no knowledge of this debt, It has been on my credit reportedly since XX/XX/XXXX. I have not received one letter or call about this debt. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a certified letter requesting the validation of this debt. On XX/XX/XXXX is when they sent me a letter responding with a breakdown of charges related to this debt, no contract binding by me and this creditor, no signatures exchanged, or nothing of the sort. I am not aware of this debt.

There was a collection account showed up on my XXXX credit report. I called the debt collector to tell them it is not my account and I never used those services. The representative asked me for my address, but I refused to give my address, as I have been a victim of identity theft before. The representative started using abusive language and threatened to report the debt to all three credit bureaus to damage my credit. I hung up the call as she started becoming more abusive. I have not used those services, and I can prove that that is not my debt, but I did not want to give out my personal information to that collection agency.

A company by the name of Ability Recovery Services LLC placed 4 collections on my credit report with no explanation ( aka no notices or letters ). I attempted to resolve this and still have not received any information. Which does not surprise me since I have not been to the ER in 8 years and I have great medical insurance. I recently had issues with things of this nature appearing on my credit and have had to file a complaint against XXXX & XXXX, and surprise, these are the 2 agencies reporting this false information. It seems like harassment from the credit reporting agencies as well as Ability Recovery Services LLC

The hospital did not file the claim within the timely filing period. I contacted the billing department and they cleared the debt because it was being reported wrong and is not my responsibility. This debt is not mine and should not be in my credit report. I disputed the debt through the credit bureau and the company did not do the research. So they are continuing to report an invalid debt. Had they done the reasearch they would know that the debt is paid in full and never was my responsibility. This account has been sold over and over again and is now with Ability. They need to follow suit and delete this account.

I both wrote to them and filled out the complaint form with CFPB. The only response I received was that I did not provide them with enough information for them to research my complaint and debt validation/verification. I gave them my address, phone number and social security number - the same information they apparently used to gain access to my credit reports. Despite all of this, they are still attempting to collect the debt via placing a negative mark on my credit report.

I have requested supervisors, none return my call. The representatives I do speak with are extremely rude in tone, and verbage. I have been trying for 6 months to have this debt removed from my credit. I have disputed, because it was paid by insurance and they confirmed my reason for disputing but did not remove it. I have been hung up on when requesting a supervisor as well. I have not had any success with this debt being removed.

Ability Recovery Service is still reporting that I owe {$360.00} to them. I have done all my research and the so called debt was with XXXX XXXX, which I paid in the amount of {$260.00} as my final payment for the semester. I have provided receipts, bank documents and a letter from XXXX XXXX saying it was paid in full. So, my complaint is now against XXXX XXXX, Ability Recovery, and XXXX because they are allowing this to continue. Other credit reporting agencies show this closed and are no longer reporting, which is correct and accurate. Why XXXX continues to allow it is UNFAIR and ILLEGAL.

I contacted the company to get information pertaining to the alleged debt. They sent me a debt validation which shows I owe a balance of {$150.00} to the school when I had student loans and financial aid. The debt is not owed. The first time the lady hung up on me. I called back and they do n't tell you there name and the person said they will not remove the debt and will still on my credit she does n't care what I say or do. Then she rudely hung up on me. I then went to the Indian a Secy of State to check them out and found they are not licensed or registered in the State of Indiana.

Company ignored my request for debt validation, reported a wrong debt on my credit report, they fail to identify themselves when they contacted me through this site, they did not provide me with any updated information and They did not provide a detailed information at all that could help me identify the debt in question. This actions violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The only medical service I had that year was a workers comp case, which makes this collection illegal and to report it to credit bureaus its against the law.

I have paid {$100.00} per month after setting up a payment plan since I finally heard from Ability Recovery. In total I have paid {$300.00} to date. The original creditor was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was in the process of moving and received no notification of not only my right to dispute, but even that there was a debt. I found out about it pulling my credit report to find why my score had dropped. The reason for not knowing there was a debt was that I had confirmed with the hospital my debt had been cleared due to income. As far as I had been told, I had no outstanding debt.

Ability Recovery Services agent XXXX XXXX was rude when spoke to me regarding a debt. I was not aware of the debt and asked her to indicate that as my response. She told me she would write " I refused to pay ''. I then asked her to speak to a supervisor and she told me she would not transfer me to a supervisor to tell them the same thing I told her. I attempted to call the company back in hopes of getting someone else but I kept getting her. Each time she would hang up on me. I have filed a complaint with the XXXX hoping to have them cease communication with me but they continue.

I have never enrolled in XXXX XXXX and yet I have 3 reports of debt owed in the amount of {$930.00}, {$920.00}, and {$820.00} supposedly having taken place all in XXXX of XXXX.

I noticed a collection on my credit report. When looking into it, it was unpaid medical expenses that should have been covered when I obtained healthcare from the state. It was sold to a third party debt collector. I reached out to the company who is holding the collection and asked how to show proof I have medical coverage, I provided the information needed to have it taken off the report. Six months later, it is still there. I have disputed it numerous times and it still stays on my report, preventing me from buying a home, a car, and getting credit cards to build my credit.

This is a follow up and not an initial dispute. CFPB - PLEASE ATTEND TO THIS ISSUE. The company was given my identity theft affidavit, and shown I've done a local police report. FCRA 605b requires that they cease any and all collection activity as a result. They stated they're going to request an itemized bill, something ANYONE can type and send. This company is frivolous and needs to be shut down. They have 0 documentation that will stand in court, especially against IDENTITY THEFT. They are in violation of my rights under the FCRA.

XXXX keeps turning me into collections every year since 2012 for a bill i paid off in 2012. Every year I have to send the collectors and the original company my proof of payment. Every year they send me a letter of confirmation saying it was an error and they have corrected it ... but here we are again. I have more than enough evidence that I have paid that bill and I am tired of effortlessly trying to improve my credit score in hopes of a house and babies XXXX day, when XXXX keeps holding me back for nothing ... for a bill i have paid 4 years ago.

They fail to cease communication through all mediums pursuant to federal law. All mediums mean telephone, email, social media, letters, and consumer reports. My consumer report is in fact a medium and I demand a deletion from my consumer report.

The only thing they have provided is a ledger that has my name on it and a balance due. I have never attended this college or done any type of business with this college. This debt company has caused me significant monetary damage as it is affecting my credit. This is bullying by a debt collector attempting to collect a debt from the wrong person.

Furthermore, I hold serious doubts about the accuracy of the debt being claimed. As per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, I have the right to request validation of the debt. Thus, I kindly request that you provide me with the required validation and take appropriate actions to address this issue.

Id reached out to the company in XX/XX/2019 when it was paid ( {$56.00} ) and theyd informed me that theyd combined it with other medical bills but they would remove them individually and was unsure why it was still reporting to my credit report. Theyd also informed me that the inquiry would be removed within the following months. Id let them know that I was facing financial difficulties due to my son being hospitalized but would attempt to make other arrangements as soon as I could. Please remove this inquiry.

Ability Recovery Services is negatively reporting on my credit profile. This account was included in a bankruptcy ( with the original creditor ). This account was illegally placed in collection AFTER everything was paid in full ( XX/XX/XXXX2016 ). This reporting tactic is demonstrating financial harm and presents legal grounds for suit.

Now that they " closed '' this account that was included in bankruptcy was never reported as a charge-off off before the bankruptcy, however they 're reporting this as a Charge-offs. Per the FTC, if a debt was not in charge-off status BEFORE you filed for bankruptcy, it can NOT be reported as a charge-off AFTER your bankruptcy,
