Company: Amsher Collection Services, Inc.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022, I activated service for a new phone, watch and modem. The promotional rate I signed for was not honored and change without my consent. I refused the imposed terms and tried to return the items but was not allowed to. The cite that returns are allowed during the first 2 weeks only. During my time with XXXX, the terms I agreed to were never implemented. I called numerous times asking when will my rate take effect and was told it takes up to 3 months. After 3 months, I was still being charged the wrong amount. I called and XXXX apologized and told me they had made a mistake. The promotion they offered ended the previous day and therefore invalid. They offered a new plan which cost more, and I refused and offered to return all devices. XXXX refused XXXX accept the devices citing the 2 weeks return period and forced a rate I never agreed to. After trying to settle with XXXX unsuccessfully, I involved XXXX XXXX  mediated but XXXX did not change their position or offered any explanation. The account was sold to a collection agency Amsher. I explained Amsher the situation, but they insist on full payment. Furthermore, XXXX has blocked my online profile where all original documents are saved, and I can't retrieve them to use as proof of the unauthorized changes. Simply put, XXXX offered me a great rate which they changed unlawfully and without my consent after the 2 weeks return period. They then forced a much higher rate and gave me no recourse. I am also a XXXX veteran with severe health issues and this situation is imposing a great hardship on me.

Complaint narrative:
UPDATE TO CASE # XXXX UPDATE TO CASE # XXXX UPDATE TO CASE # XXXX GATESTONE & CO had 30 days to validate a debt ACCORDINGLY under 15 USC 1692g and my letter sent and have failed to validate the debt. GATESTONE & CO has instead responded with BANK STATEMENTS which is not sufficient evidence of a debt according to 15 USC 1691g and FEDERAL CASE - XXXX XXXX  FCU vs XXXX XXXX XXXX  has attempted to collect an alleged debt through obscene matters and is now in violation under 18 USC 892 for attempting to create extortionate extension of credit because a consumer credit transaction was created which comes from a FINANCE CHARGE under 15 USC 1605 where in fact is a SUM OF ALL CHARGES so any alleged debt coming from a FINANCE CHARGE is already paid for and any secondary collection on any extension of credit is fraud, obscene and in violation of 18 USC 1962 under RACKETEERING. GATESTONE & CO has failed to validate the alleged debt accordingly and IS STILL LIABLE for remedy under 15 USC 1692k and 15 USC 1644. I am willing to settle the matter one last time before matters escalate to litigation.
