      This company has been calling me and my family nonstop with asking about a debt. I called them back and asked them to stop contacting my family because we were going through a hard time because of my husband was in accident, and we are down to one income. I was transferred to Brian which he stated that my account will be going on my credit report. I don’t take to kind to threats. I understand money is owed apparently, but harassing my family and asking me can I ask them for assistance my family members ignoring basically what I just told him. I have had enough and seeking legal involvement.

      this debt collector has been calling and harassing me and my family members and disclosing information to my family in regards to a “debt” I supposedly owe with them. I need them to stop calling me and anyone that they think may know me. If they keep calling anyone I know and disclosing this information to them I will need to take legal action. I cease and desist them from calling me or anyone related to me in regard to this “debt”.

      2/6/2025 Amount totaled “just under $5000” according to the collector. He threatened that they would just go get the couch I purchased on the credit line provided by another company that they purchased the debt from since I only made a few payments. I told him it’s an unsecured debt and they have no legal right to do so, and that I’ve read all the terms and conditions from the original creditors’ website. He also threatened to cancel current manufacturer warrantied repairs the original company has already agreed to. My wife informed me he called her 4 different times at work today as well, and threatened her with multiple types of legal action too, also including repossession. He stated that they record all phone calls so there is proof of legal violations.

      Due to these multiple violations of FDCPA, including harassment, illegal threats, unfair business practices, and tortious interference, it is only right to further accommodate any type of settlement to achieve resolution. Instead of seeking legal action for statutory damages and emotional distress, I would rather them either delete the debt or provide a settlement proposal for no more than 20% of the total debt amount. The settlement proposal should also include an option to spread over 6 monthly payments. Anything less than this resolution would be considered unsatisfactory for the committed grievances.

      collect on various delinquent accounts.
      As all calls are recorded, I have reviewed the 2 calls on February 6 "' as Mr. ****** has advised, at no time
      any threat of suit as ERS does not sue accounts. Mr. ****** was advised on a few arrangements and issues
      he may be affected by with utilizing a debt management company "****** *******". The agent advised
      Mr. ****** of an extremely reduced settlement, which Mr. ****** refused to take advantage of and stated
      he would just stay with the Debt Settlement company.
      Both calls were very pleasant and positive conversations between both parties. I have concluded at the my
      investigation that the complaint allegations by Mr. ****** are not valid.
      We have closed and returned his account to our client. We apologize to Mr. ****** for any inconvenience,
      and we hoped we could have helped him resolve his outstanding balance.

      I have been contacted by Everest regarding a debt, we originally came to an agreement on payments, however, the conversation sparked interest and I looked deeper into the debt. There are multiple errors and I am having this investigated by the credit companies. I emailed Everest to let them know that this debt is disputed. Since this I have been contacted by email and phone numerous times, usually while at work. I would like them to cease contact with me. Furthermore, I have not gotten anything in the mail regarding this debt which I do believe they have to send something before trying to collect.

      I want nothing to do with this business because of the scyions of Chris P***** a supposed employee at this company. I asked for a name and contact info of his boss Tim P***** he stated. Surprised it was Jim again ( Chris p*****) even more threading and aggressive. I was also given the n as me and number of a Rob O***** but it never went to voicemail it just rang then someone answered and just hung up. I then called back this time with my number blocked and it was picked up but only heard breathing. I will go into more details if asked. But to summarize I owe money. Last week I told them I would have at the most 1/2 and the other next month. I was faithfull in my commitment down to the time and date that I told them to call me back nothing has changed. I feel that this company should test and train its employees better and if someone asked to speak to a supervisor not be given the name of some fictitious person and also not answer the gener line when someone is calling. I had my number blocked and I was still treated like I was a nobody. That could have been anyone. It could have been a public emergency or an employ’s family member. I still have the money to pay but I don’t see them understanding that I neeed for someone other than the person I spoke yo yo contact me. I sent a email to them and have not heard anything back.

      collect on various delinquent accounts.
      ERS initially contacted Mr. ****** via telephone on 07/03/2024. In the duration of this call, ERS offered
      Mr. ****** many different settlement options. However, at the conclusion of this call, Mr. ****** stated
      he was seeking the help of a family member to collect the funds to fulfill these settlement options.
      On 07/10/2024, ERS contact Mr. ****** again to follow up on the previous conversation. Initially, Mr.
      ****** stated he could commit to half of the settlement offer. After discussion, Mr. ******* offered less
      than the Agent was perniitted to accept. Mr. ****** then became extremely irate and vulgar, and refused
      all settlement offers. The Agent attempted to transfer Mr. ******* to a manager, with hopes tliat the
      manager would be able to approve a lower settlement. After 7 seconds of holding, Mr. ****** claimed it
      was "unprofessional" and requested no further calls be made.Immediately preceding that call, the Agent
      flagged the Account as "CEASE".
      On 0711 112024, ERS received an email fiom Mr. ****** with complaints about the Agents lie spoke with.
      Because the Account was already marked as "CEASE", it had been returned to the Client. We urge Mr.
      ****** to contact our Client at ###-###-#### to discuss how to resolve the balance.
      We would like to apologize to Mr. ****** for any inconvenience lie feels lie was caused.

      I have been contacted by ERS about a debt that I cannot be sure is accurate. They have called from multiple numbers. They have sent at least 2 email messages. They have contacted 2 members of this family that have the same name.

      Due to possible inaccuracies on my Credit reports, I must demand that the alleged debt be proved as mine.

      I hereby lawfully request that the proof be in the form of a notarized statement by a person with original knowledge of the debt as it was constituted and who can testify that the alleged debt was incurred legally, was not subsequently disputed as a result of returned, faulty, or recalled consumer products, was not utilized as a profit-loss tax deduction during the period it may have been payable, and was not claimed as a loss with any insuring entity during the period it may have been payable.

      Please be advised that I am not requesting a verification that you have my mailing address, email address, telephone number, or any other contact information about me; rather, I am requesting validation, i.e., competent evidence that I had some contractual obligation sans consumer protection encumbrance which incurred the original claims associated with this tradeline.

      If ERS cannot validate the debt, I demand that they cease all collection activities.

      For the purposes of 15 U.S.C. 1692 et seq., this Notice has the same effect as a dispute to the validity of the alleged debt and a dispute to the validity of your claims. This Notice is an attempt to correct your records, and any information received from you will be collected as evidence should any further action be necessary

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. ERS has failed to mention that they have made telephone verbal communication with at least two members of this family with the same or similar name in their debt collection practices.  ERS has also failed to mention that they have made email communication in connection with their debt collection activities.  Partial information has been presented to frame ERS's collection practices in a positive light that benefits them unilaterally. 
       "Our Client provided documents to validate the Account. These documents include the Promissory Note signed by Mr. ****** and the Payment History. These documents have been attached to this response."- ***** ****** Response: There is no signature by me on the provided documentation. The fact that my name is printed on the documentation does not validate that my signature is on the documentation.  -***** ****** Response: Tablature information in the documents do not validate the account. Credits and Debits of the information provided are difficult to interpret and contain insufficient explanation.-***** ****** Response:I hereby
      lawfully request that the proof to validate the account  be in the form of a notarized statement by a
      person with original knowledge of the debt as it was constituted and who can
      testify that the alleged debt was incurred legally, was not subsequently
      disputed as a result of returned, faulty, or recalled consumer products, was
      not utilized as a profit-loss tax deduction during the period it may have been
      payable, and was not claimed as a loss with any insuring entity during the
      period it may have been payable. "We would like to apologize to Mr. ****** if he feels he was inconvenienced in any way. No further contact will be initiated by our company, unless specifically requested by Mr. ******."-***** ****** Response: I would like a written statement that ERS is contracted by *** Associates, LLC. (Hereinafter, "Client") to collect on various delinquent accounts and they will no longer be conducting or performing collection activities on this alleged debt and/or account now or in the future.The laws of Puerto Rico require that all financial institutions including Debt Collection Companies are registered with the Commissioner of Financial Institutions Office and the Departemento de Asuntos Del Consumidor.  I have searched the State Department and all other Government entities in Puerto Rico. Everest Receivable Services is not registered in Puerto Rico and cannot open credit accounts for the residents of Puerto Rico, nor can they conduct collection activities in Puerto Rico.  *Banking Law of Puerto Rico- Act No. 55 of May 12, 1933, as amended. 7 LPRA §§ 1-231. *Investment Capital Fund Act Of Puerto Rico - Act No. 3 of October 6, 1987, as amended. 7 LPRA 1241-1260(a).*Law No. 5 of April 23, 1973, as amended, known as "Organic Law of the Department of Consumer Affairs"*Law No. 143 of June 27, 1968, known as the "Agencies Law of Collections"; Law No. 179 of June 3, 1996 and Law No. 170 of August 12, 1988, known as "Administrative Procedure Law Uniform".Discontinue any
