Company: Financial Credit Service, Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Today, XXXX XXXX, XXXX I talked to someone with a company called ARA, Inc. They had made two previous calls to my cell phone but never left messages, so I called the number to see what the calls were about. The person then proceeded to tell me they were calling to settle a debt from XXXX from a XXXX XXXX XXXX account in the amount of {$4000.00}. I told him the account he mentioned did not sound familiar. He mentioned the account was opened in a different state than where I lived in XXXX, then subsequently sold to different collection agencies. I reiterated to him, I didn't even live in that state in XXXX. Not only that, but he repeatedly kept referring to me by my First and Middle names only. He had very detailed information about me and my credit record. He sited my complete social security number ; he referenced current accounts on my credit report, and then stated that I had good credit, ( " re-established credit '' ) and then insinuated that he would do whatever necessary to recover the {$4000.00} and pursue legal action. He then accused me of using different names. I stated that in the 19 years I have lived at my current address, I have never been contacted by anyone regarding a XXXX XXXX  credit card account, and at this point, all this was, was a random call to get money out of me and I requested he send me detailed information about the account / debt.

Company: Southwest Recovery Services, Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I previously filed a complaint regarding this matter. The party described responded and said that they would instruct their employees to cease and desist. They have reneged on that statement. They today called both myself and my wife claiming that they are seeking to deliver legal documents. This debt collector needs to be held accountable with the full force of the law. 
Please see below the text of my prior complaint. 

Southwest Recovery systems has repeatedly contacted me and harassed me over a debt that they say I owe and one that I have disputed for years. The client that they bought this debt from deceived me with regard to a website building offer and I canceled after learning of their deceit. Southwest has contacted me on at 12 different occasions and has attempted to bully me and harass me into paying a debt that I disagree with. They have never delivered proof of the original debt or amount. Today - XX/XX/2018 @ approximately XXXX they called my phone and attempted to get me to provide my date of birth, social etc over the phone. After i informed them that I have repeatedly asked them to stop calling they stated that they would just call again. Minutes after my wife called me to conference me in for someone calling her to ask for me. The same agent of Southwest was on the call and began berating me for hanging up on her earlier and smugly said she would call my wifes phone again. This company is very well known to practice harassing and threatening behavior and must be forced to stop or suffer financially for their actions.
