Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: The Receivable Management Services LLC (MS)

I contacted this company explaining that I found this debt on my credit report and was not accurate, I called several times to XXXX  who has told me that I needed to contact Receivables Mgmt Svcs, LLC that they can not help me because the debt was sold. 
I talked to RMS on the phone explaining that at the time they show I owe this debt I had insurance with another company and my current company stated I can't have 2 insurance policies running at 1 time and that XXXX  should not have been in effect. 

I contacted my state Attorney General 's office who got me into contact with an attorneys office which helps in matters like this that told me to send the below letter which was sent XX/XX/XXXX and delivered on XX/XX/XXXX I then contacted them back on XX/XX/XXXX and asked why I had not received any correspondence on this matter and was given the name of XXXX XXXX and phone number of XXXX to contact. I tried to contact the number and keep getting a voice mail. I then contacted RMS back and told them that all day the phone was going to a voice mail and the woman explained that wasn't her problem and that her office no longer handles this account. 

I explained I sent a certified letter and wanted information on what was happening and that my next step was to file a complaint with the consumer finance agency. she put me on hold and a man came on the line who explained he was a manager and told me to file any complaint I think I needed to file. I told him that because of this I found out that my insurance premiums was adversely affected and went up do to my credit rating and he told me he did not care and that it would keep affecting my credit and hinder my ability to get home and car loans if it was not paid. 
I told him this was not my bill and that I was going to file a complaint and he then told me " I don't care who you file a complaint with they can't force us to do anything because we are a private company '' I told him that I was going to file a complaint with you when I got home and he told me to go cry to anyone I needed too and that your agency was a joke and couldn't enforce anything. 

I am also currently working with an attorney to get this matter into small claims court and found these on all 3 credit reports. I am filling separately on each of the credit reports and working to get my case started when it reopens because of this COVID-19 XX/XX/XXXX Receivable Mgmt svcs, LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, PA XXXX Re : Acct # XXXX To Whom It May Concern : This letter is in response to your recent claim regarding account # XXXX, which you claim my account was charged off {$180.00} Yet again, you have failed to provide me with a copy of any viable evidence, bearing my signature, showing the account is being reported accurately.
