Company: Apelles, LLC
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
XXXX has been trying to collect a sum of money from me that they state is outstanding as a result of a three-year service contract. I never engaged in a contract with XXXX. They have tried to shift a possible service contract that my deceased father may or may not have had with them into my name. My father died on XX/XX/2019. His estate has been settled for more than one year. This is the second credit bureau to contact me. There was one previous one contacting me. My attorney communicated with them directly and explained to them that I do not have any debt to XXXX whatsoever, and explained that they must stop contacting me. They did, for many months. Then, this new agency began to write to my father. The mail was returned to them indicating that he is deceased. About a month later, they, too, began writing to me. I am in receipt of a letter to me today indicating that I owe them money for an outstanding balance. Nothing has changed : I don't owe them money. I never entered into a contract with XXXX. My father 's estate has been settled for more than a year, and there is no evidence that he ever entered in a contract with them. There is no money going to XXXX -- EVER! They, and all collection agencies -- including the current one ( APELLES ), must stop harassing me, or I will take further legal action.

Complaint narrative:
In the beginning of XXXX I talked to Beyond Finance. They told me they were going to lower my debts, and work diligently to get them reduced. I made my first payment of {$100.00} on XX/XX/XXXX and every XXXX weeks after that until XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX they came to me with a settlement of a debt that had increased by more than double since I in rolled in their program and I had not touched the card. Their settlement was a {$42.00} savings over what I wouldve paid if I hadnt contacted them. They said most deaths are reduced by half. After increasing my debt, the settlement they came to was half of the new amount they drove up. They only work on one debt at a time that to me is not working to reduce my debts it is working to reduce a debt. I had a hard time paying off my debt before they did this now I have to file bankruptcy to get out of the hole they continue to dig me into.
