      The account is for **************** at ********* ******************* maintenance fees and real estate taxes.  The resort has been open since 2005 and has always gone by that name.  **************** is the company that handles the bills for the association.  We will note the account as Cease & Desist per his request, however, the account will remain in collections reporting as an unpaid collection.  We will update it as disputed on our next reporting date.

      We were hired by the Vacation Village at ******************************************** to collect the past due maintenance fees and real estate taxes.  The consumer would not have a contract with a collection agency trying to collect from them.  This is the first request we have received for verification of debt.  We will send it to the address listed.  If the account were paid in full, we would be willing to remove it from their credit history.

      I found out my vacation package was put into collections. Someone from Aspen collections called me and I told them Im going through financial difficulties and will contact them when I am able to pay. He recently called me last week and proceeded to insult me and tell me I need to find the money some way or the other and I need to pay immediately. He said that I have money because I must of already received my income tax refund and I need to use that money and pay them. He was very rude and very disrespectful, so I hung up on him.

      I apologize if you felt you were treated rudely.  In reviewing the notes, it does show we have only talked to you 3 times.  In January you said you had recently had a baby and would file your taxes and make a partial payment in February.  Then we spoke to you in February and you were waiting on your tax return.  We never heard from you again until the conversation May 21st.  You said you were trying to reach the other parties involved with the membership and had used the tax return for something else.  The collector may have been frustrated because when we are updating your account as one that will possibly pay but you refuse to make a solid commitment, it looks bad to our client.  Your account has been here since October and nothing has been done to resolve it.  We will request the amount it would take for you to resume your payments and see if we can cure the default.  That would also allow you use of the resort when you get back on your regular payments.  We will have someone else call you when we have the amount.  It will probably be later today so if you see a missed call, please call us back.

      The fact that you were hired by a third party does not give you legal standing to place anything on my credit reports.  I have no account with your company.  I demand that the derogatory information youve placed on my credit be immediately removed as required by the Fair Credit Collections Act.

      We were not hired by a third party.  We were hired by the creditor that you owe money to.  If you ever see a collection account or a lien or foreclosure on someone's credit report, they did not give specific authorization to that entity to report that.  It does not mean it cannot be reported.  No one authorizes a collection agency to report to their credit, but people still have collection accounts on their credit.  The purpose is to reflect an accurate credit history.  If the consumer had to authorize anything that is reported, there would never be a negative item on anyone's credit history.  That would not be accurate.

      They do not have a contract with Aspen because they did not hire us to collect from them.  We were hired by the owner's association to collect passed due maintenance fees and real estate taxes.  We have never received a request for their original contract with our client until now.  We will send verification of debt and mark the account as disputed for credit reporting purposes.

      We sent verification of debt including a copy of the original contract with the resort.  Of course they has no contract with Aspen Collections.  We were hired by our client to collect a debt they owe.  The contract itself has been cancelled, but the fees owed to the owner's association were a separate bill.  They are responsible for all the fees owed up to the time it was cancelled.  If the account were paid in full soon, we would be willing to remove the item from their credit history since the contract has been cancelled.
