I was contacted by a bill collector early June 2015. I was told I owed a past debt and they have been sending me notices to 341 hale Rd W. I haven't lived there since 1987. I was told my total bill is$4,782. If I did not take care of this with payments or payoff the debt a judgement was going to be filled. I was also told that they wanted to offer to clear this side they could see on my credit report I was working hard to make better credit They scared me. They lied and I was freaking out. I did have some debt a long time ago but I dont remember to who. They said they would charge my CC. I told them I wanted to speak to my attorney and they said they wanted me to! The proceeded to keep me on the phone and scare me more. I paid with my CC. They also mentioned they were from Lewis County, WA court house. I don't know if this is a frauds but with the hurt, taking a CC, I agreed to pay $2,580 which was processed very fast. I am sick with this whole thing. I felt I had to do this to stop them from bugging me.

Aggressive attempts to collect fradulent collection account from a health club account in a state I never lived in from 1997. Asked for personally identifiable informaiton, SSN, etc prior to disclosing that this was a collection matter. I did not provide the informaiton requested and did not Attempted to provide wrong information when asked about statue of limitations and if records showed any last activity which was reported from 05.
ARA made settlement offer of $1008.50 on a $2017.21 matter. Asked them to provide documentation of orginal affidavit and assignment. They did not respond. They did later email me a "proof of debt" that proof was for a bank credit card (not health club) in someone elses name. This organization has contributed to privacy breach risk of this poor consumer who does not know his debt info has been mistakingly reported to me as "proof" of my non-existant debt.
