SquareTwo Financial Corporation Debt Collection Complaint

SquareTwo Financial Corporation Debt collection department,

Credit card Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed Debt is not mine Kansas

I opened a business in -/-/- with another person. At that time we opened up a number of business accounts with vendors and banks. In -/-/- I left the business and sold my ownership to my business partner. We provided all of our vendors and banks with our documents showing the business ownership changes.


During that time he apparently racked up debt he could not afford and he started receiving collection notices. I received - from - at that time in my name. I contacted - and provided them with my change of ownership documentation and the lady I spoke with claimed to update the account and never contacted me again. In -/-/- I ran my credit report and saw a collection agency was listed trying to collect on the old - debt. I called the company, explained the situation, and they stated that when - sold them the debt they only listed my name on the account and not my old partners. I was able to get my old partner to contact the collection agency and agree to pay the debt. I provided the collection agency all of the ownership change forms at the time and they never contacted me again. My partner never paid the debt and when I attempted to get a mortgage recently I saw that the debt was still on my account. I contacted the collection company, CACH LLC and they said that they would not remove me off of the account because that is how they purchased it. I requested that they contact - to get updated records because my partner should have been the personal guarantor and they would not do it. They said I had to get - to provide me that documentation. I called - to request details on the account. - said they can see that my partner is a personal guarantor and they have notes in their system that there was an ownership request documented but they don't have any additional details. They don't have copies of the change of ownership forms I sent in nor copies of the contract stating I am no longer responsible for the business. They are going to provide me with a letter stating that my partner is a personal guarantor but will not provide me with anything stating that I am not.I have also requested documentation from CACH LLC and -, verification of what the debt is. I was not with the company during the years that the debt was incurred so I have no idea what they believe I am responsible for. Neither CACH LLC nor - has been able to provide me with any account statements stating who used the account, what was purchased, whose card was being used and in what amounts. I have received nothing from them. I originally made this request in -/-/- and they did not provide it and I'm making the request again in -/-/- and they are telling me they don't have any of those details. I don't have chance to dispute these charges if they can't provide me with the details on the account.
