Debt is not mine
Complaint: I purchased a tablet from XXXX which subsequently stopped working.I returned the tablet to XXXX and, unfortunately, I ordered a replacement.The replacement also stopped working.I returned the replacement, all at my expense, to say the least.I called the Customer Service department and informed them over a recorded conversation to not send me any more products from XXXX.Believe it or not, I received another tablet and returned it also at my expense. Later I receive a letter from a collection agency, namely Tate & Kirklin Associates ( XXXX, PA ) informing me that I owe {$170.00}, Original Creditor XXXX, Creditor XXXX, Account Number XXXX.I disputed the bill with the credit reporting agencies and after their investigation, I received the attached form from XXXX showing a XXXX balance.I thought after receiving this form from XXXX, that my nightmare was over.Not at all!!! And, yes, it is still listed as a disputed collection on my credit report.What good is the XXXX balance when it 's not reflected on my credit report as being in good standing? I know all of these predators are out to make money, but this is ridiculous.I would really appreciate your help in resolving this matter.I realize that the amount alledgedly " owed '' is n't a lot, but it 's a lot when the debt is n't mine. Thanks In Advance, XXXX

Debt was paid
Complaint: I bought " free sample '' product on the internet, paid shipping. then they charged me {$300.00} or more. I called them, told them I did n't want the product and they gave me an XXXX number to return the product and I 'd get the money back. this was XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX I get a letter from some saw firm Tate & Kirlin Associates, Inc that I owe money and I needed to send a letter saying that I do not owe any money. I did that. Now I get a letter from the same law firm saying the original letter was wrong and the original creditor was XXXX, which was where i got the original email to return the product. I have documentation of all of this and I 'm tired of being harassed with letters saying I owe anyone money. I 'm sending the Tate & Kirlin another letter saying I do n't owe anytihing but I was also telling them that I was going to put in a complaint, so that is what I am doing. These are Internet scams to get you to but some product for free but you miss the small print where it says they are going to charge you an exorbitant amount of money for the product afterwards. I returned the product, made a claim against my credit card and got the credit back. I DO NOT OWE ANYONE ANY MONEY. And I 'm tired of getting these XXXX letters saying I do.

Called after sent written cease of comm
Complaint: We have XXXX issues here, XXXX they CONTINUED mail me letters after receiving XXXX WRITTEN requests via email ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ). Also, though not legally standing -- I VERBALLY requested twice to cease communications. The XXXX issue involves who the mailings come to as they are addressed to my former name of XXXX XXXX. I asked agency to send them to new name, old name XXXX new name, or new name XXXX old name as I REFUSE to open mail for someone who LEGALLY does NOT exist anymore. NOTE THAT I HAVE SENT THE LETTERS BACK VIA RETURN TO SENDER. I totally grasp that regardless of my legal name then and now that IF these debts are valid, I am legally responsible for them. They may argue that my requests were invalid because they did n't respond to emails and emails possibly went to wrong party. However, any REPUTABLE company would forward collections related emails to the right department. By the way, any REPUTABLE person would understand that it 's a federal crime to open mail that 's NOT legally addressed to you ...
