July 7, Dear ***:I am writing in response to the customer complaint in the above matterI have researched the facts of the complaint*** is correct that as to the terms of the agreement, except for a minor error in the original amount owedOur original balance was slightly less in that the amount owed was S3,865.59, not $3,*** is also correct that we agreed to accept monthly payments in the amount of $and a final payment of $to pay off this accountNo further interest would be accrued if there was no default on the arrangementThis would avoid the statutory rate of 6% being applied.I believe this complaint was initiated because a payment was not received on time and a call and letter was sent to ***The customer called into our office on June 24, I also believe that this is where the confusion beganAs payments were not received timely, there was a default on the arrangementHowever, this firm is standing by the original agreement is not pursuing any interest from ***Since *** sent us a cease and desist letter on June 24, 2014, I am unable to contact her directlyMy records indicate that *** has paid $3,to dateHer last payment of $50.00, not the agreed payment of $100.00, was credited to her account on July 2, There is a balance due of $515.59, per the original agreement.Please let me know if I can be of additional information or assistance.Thank you.Very truly yours,

Please be advised that I have reviewed the customer’s complaint. We have investigated this matter and found that our firm’s receptionist received a call from the phone number listed in the complaint on July 12, 2016.  However,...

the call we received was not from the customer, [redacted], but rather from a woman stating that she was [redacted]’s fiancé. Our receptionist transferred the caller to one of our collectors, Wendy, but the call was disconnected. We suspect that the caller must have hung up, as our phone systems have been tested and are working correctly with no full voice mailboxes. We did not receive any additional calls from that number.  In any event, this firm could not discuss [redacted]’s account with the caller regarding, as this would constitute an unauthorized third party disclosure in violation of the FDCPA. If [redacted] would like our firm to be able to communicate with his fiancé regarding his file, he must first contact us by phone or in writing and provide this firm with authority to speak to her on his behalf. We will be more than happy to work with [redacted] if he provides the appropriate authority.  At no time did this firm act contrary to [redacted]’s benefit. Thank you.

Thank you for this inquiry. My firm entered a judgment against an individual with the same name as the complainant, but at a different address (I believe it is the complainant's son). In Pennsylvania, liens are not filed by law firms on judgments. We did not file a lien against the complainant or...

his property. Most likely, the judgment came up on a title report due to the similar names during the complainant's refinance process.
The complainant has provided documentation of his identity and we have confirmed that he is not the individual against whom we secured the judgment.
I have talked to the lender and will provide a letter documenting the fact that we do not have a judgment against the complainant. The lender is satisfied with this and there will not be a lien considered to have been filed against the complainant.

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.  When the amount owed is paid in full of $515.59 I want a letter stating that, and I want my credit to show that it was paid in full.
Regards,
[redacted]

Review: RE: Acct [redacted]

The alleged debt of $1,700.01 is not to [redacted].

This was addressed previously with [redacted]'s in 2011, 2012 and 2013. In November 2013, GORDON & WEINBERG, P.C was contacted and the debt was disputed for reasons stated on phone and in writing. Nevertheless, GORDON & WEINBERG, P.C is still pursuing this debt. This is in proper and contrary to the Court records, orders and/r decrees on the matters/issues regarding the propery of [redacted].

A confirmation letter that this alleged debt will be closed out on [redacted]'s account, or records returned to [redacted]'s is hereby demanded within 10 days, otherwise, the alleged debt to [redacted]'s account #[redacted] would be deemed invalid.Desired Settlement: Remove the debt or return the files to [redacted]'s.

Dear **. [redacted],

Thank you for your letter dated November 15. 2013 m the above matter. I have researched the facts of the complaint. Although **. [redacted] disputes his legal obligation for this debt by claiming the debt was awarded to his wife in the divorce decree, [redacted] is still the responsible party for this debt. Our client has provided us with a copy of the contract signed by **. [redacted], which makes him liable for the amount owed regardless of the divorce decree. This was explained to **. [redacted] during a telephone conversation with my office on November 14, 2013; however, **. [redacted] continues to dispute his obligation.

Please let me know if I can be of additional assistance.

Thank you.

Very truly yours

Review: [redacted]

I am rejecting this response because the documents, arbitration and divorce decree speak for the**elves.

I do not agree with the Business' response, and therefore, their response is not sufficient.

Dear **. [redacted]:

Thank you for your letter of November 25, 2012 in the above matter, directed to my associate [redacted]. Please note that **. [redacted] is no longer with my firm and that future correspondence should be directed to my attention.

I have reviewed the additional concerns of the consumer and understand his concern. Unfortunately, his divorce decree has no bearing on his contractual obligation. The divorce decree evidently placed responsibility on this breach of contract on the spouse. However, that is between **. [redacted] and his spouse and is not binding on my client. **. [redacted] would have every right to pursue his spouse in the domestic relations action, but I am not permitted to provide a consumer with legal advice. Also, any communication I would have with **. [redacted] would be considered a third party disclosure if I provided that to you. If you obtain consent or authorization from **. [redacted], or if you already have it, I will be more than happy to provide you with a copy of my communication to him.

Please let me know if you need anything further on this.

Thank you.

Very truly yours,

Consumer

The information in the latter is false, mistate, misconrued and clearly deceptive. The information is not what is being relied to you. For that reason, Revdex.com must reject business response.
