    I have an unresolved issue with my account at **********************. I had been on a structured payment plan to pay off a total of approximately $2,801, with monthly payments of $701 scheduled on the 13th of each month over four months. In January, I knew I would not make the amount for the payment scheduled, so I asked if the date could be moved to the 20th of each month. We agreed and the payment was successfully made in the month of February. My payment for March 20th, 2025, did not go through as expected. On March 26th, 2025, I called ARC Management Group and left a voice message in the mailbox, clearly and politely stating my intention to pay the remaining balance and fulfill my commitment to paying off the debt. Since then, I have not received any follow-up from ARC Management Group. I've tried multiple numbers only for the call to be dropped before it rings. Following the unanswered calls, I sent a formal email expressing that I was eager to pay the full amount owed, including any late fees and complete my payment. When I received no response, I also reached out through ******** Messenger. Despite all these efforts, I have still not heard ******* no point has ARC Management Group attempted to contact me regarding the missed payment, which has made it extremely difficult for me to fulfill my obligation. I remain fully committed to completing the payment and settling my account, and I would greatly appreciate assistance in re-establishing communication so this matter can be resolved.

    Complaint: 22529359

    I am rejecting this response because:

    I spoke with them couple of times already; asking for a proof of debt and they always said that they gonna send it to me and has been months; I been disputing this with equifax multiple times and they always said that the debt is mine without any proof of debt. They are required by law to send me that proof or erase that from my credit. This is affecting my ability to use my credit in this hardship situation of my mother illness.

    On September *****, 2022, my son received care at ***************** following a seizure. My son has state insurance (**************). According to Iowa TotalCare, a claim was never submitted for those dates. *** has sent several text but when I request additional information, I get no response. I have called and received horrible customer service with no ability to provide details of said care. The hospital billing office shows a $0 balance and has no idea where this collection could have come from. *** has reported to ******* as unpaid in the amount of $2,381.00. This bill should have never existed due to my sons state insurance and should not have been reported to *******. If this is not resolved, I have no problems seeking legal assistance in the matter.
