Consumer complaint received 2018-12-27
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Conn's, Inc. (TX)

Complaint:
I setup a payment plan in XX/XX/XXXX. The payment schedule they agreed to, was never properly followed by Conns. They withdrew monies that went against our arrangements. 

I made an initial payment to them, and I received another settlement offer, despite being on a payment plan. 

I called in XXXX to schedule an arrangement for {$50.00} per month beginning XX/XX/XXXX. Instead of attempting to withdraw those funds for {$50.00} they attempted {$240.00}. They never even attempted to withdraw {$50.00}. 

They have broken agreements and continued to send collection and settlement offers while my payment plan was in good standing. 

I want to resolve this account, but it needs to be done in a way that is ethical and we are on the same page. I am at a point where I do not trust giving my financial information to them.

I was called by a debt collector M.A.R.S in XXXX, Ok.

I'm being charged {$300.00} for rent, and a prorated move out fee I shouldn't be, I was told that I would only pay {$30.00}, not {$70.00}, but somehow I owe both those costs.

Company: Ad Astra Recovery Services Inc (VA)

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from this company. I advised them that the alleged debt they claim I owe is not a debt that I recognize. I pulled my credit and submitted a dispute through the credit bureau. At that time, I also mailed a written dispute and a request for validation to this company - Ad Astra Recovery Service. I gave them 30 days to respond and advised per the FCRA they are required to provide this to me or they must stop reporting and cease collection efforts. I never received a response in writing. They only responded to the credit bureau as " verified as reported ''. How can a company claim its verified if they can not even send the consumer proof of the alleged debt? I just pulled my credit again in XX/XX/XXXX and noticed the tradeline is still on there. I followed up with them again and they claim they never received my letter back in XX/XX/XXXX This is very unfair to me. I did everything I was supposed to do per the law and they are not complying or following the law. This is an unethical business practice. This is not my debt. I am have repeatedly disputed this with them. They are not following the FCRA guidelines. If they are doing this to me, how many other consumers are being affected by this company? They should be investigated.
