Aargon Agency, Inc. Debt Collection Complaint

Aargon Agency, Inc. Debt collection department,

Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.) Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed Debt is not mine Alaska

I noticed a hit on my credit monitoring site from Aargon Collection Agency. The original debt was from -, which I visited in -/-/2015 for an emergency repair. I paid at the time of service. I called - asking for information about the bill. They refused to provide me with an itemized bill, and told me to contact the collection agency. - did attempt to confirm my contact information. The wrong address and phone number ( not even close - in another state ) was on the bill. I expressed concern that I did n't think the bill was mine. They refused to discuss it and told me to call the collection agency. I called Aargon Collection Agency, who initially told me that I would have to get the itemized bill from the vendor and there was nothing they could do for me. They also had the wrong address and phone number. I told them that - had told me that I would have to get the itemized bill from Aargon. The Aargon representative became aggressive and told me that asking for verification of the debt would take time, and kept pressing me to pay the bill. I refused, and


vendor, but collections would continue. I asked him to transfer me to someone who could file a formal dispute. He told me that the manager was on break. I asked for a callback, at which time the manager magically reappeared. The manager told me that I had to request an itemized bill in writing from Aargon. I told her that this was not what the original representative told me, and pointed out that if I had not insisted on filing a dispute, nothing would have been done. She told me that I could put it in my letter. My concerns are : 1 ) the only correct information they had on this bill was my name, which should give any reasonable person doubts as to the accuracy of the bill ; 2 ) I was pressed to pay the bill over the phone even after expressing these doubts and asking for verification ; and 3 ) the original representative gave me false information about how I could verify and/or dispute the bill, and tried to prevent me from speaking to someone else.
