***** *** ******* ******** *** ******* ** ********** ** ***** DATE 2/23/23 AAS DEBT RECOVERY INC POB 129 MONROEVILLE, PA 15146 AAS DEBT REC- Balance $1,234 AAS DEBT REC- Balance $207 I am in receipt of your company’s letter informing me you’re handling the collection of the accounts mentioned above. However, after reviewing my records, I am unable to find any documentation of any contractual relationship between (AAS DEBT REC} and me which makes you a person entitled to enforce a commercial claim against me. This letter is NOT a request for verification or validation. This is a request for proof of contract to substantiate your claim. Provide me with a certified copy of an original contract, with my signature specifically naming your company as a person entitled to enforce a commercial claim against me . Certifications can be done through the presence of a notary public, who duly swears the copy made is in fact a copy of the original paper contract in question. Failure to respond and provide strict proof of contract will constitute your tactic agreement that you, AAS DEBT REC- are NOT entitled to enforce a claim against me. In the event you continue your collection efforts against me without providing proof of contract, I will file a complaint with the Attorney General and Federal Trade Commission, and file a police report against you for harassment and invasion of privacy. You have 30 days to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can’t provide strict proof of contract, YOU MUST CEASE AND DESIST ANY AND ALL COLLECTION EFFORTS AND IMMEDIATLEY REMOVE ANY DEROGATORY INFORMATION REPORTED TO THE CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES. If you transfer this account to any attorney without providing proof of contract, They will be immediately reported to the state bar association and professional liability fund for code of ethics violations.Business response

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.
[To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, we would like to know your view on the matter.]my initial request was Very Clear and no legal documentation with my bear signature was ever sent to me validating any debt that I owed to said company who are the one’s reporting this illegal tradeline on my credit report
How does this prove that this debt belongs to me? I do not see my signature here. Perhaps I have been the victim of identity theft or fraud. I can certainly create similar documents on my computer, send them to your company and claim that you owe me money. Would that prove anything?
I DO NOT have any contractual obligation to pay YOU at this point as you have failed to provide ANY proof of that. A copy of an alleged bill is simply not enough satisfactory proof that I, personally, incurred this alleged debt. REQUEST ANY DEROGATORY INFORMATION REPORTED TO THE CREDIT BUREAUS BE REMOVED if I find this entry on my credit report later interferes with my ability to obtain credit with favorable terms, I will bring suit against your company and the original creditor for all applicable damages, as well as for statutory penalties provided under the FDCPA and FCRA.

Again, we are going to reach out to the original client and have the account validated. However, this was previously completed and in fact, the customer asked a representative from our office for a settlement in 2020. Office tried to contact this customer with a settlement offer, but he never responded.
Part of the validation letter we will send to the customer will include the signature card that contains his signature when the account was opened. We ask for the customer to contact our office to discuss.

Problem:
I have already filed a complaint against AAS with BBB & I did get a call from ******* who had left a message to check with me to see if the problem was resolved & I appreciate your call, After your intervention I received a copy of a contract which I had signed with ****** ******* in 2010 & since then me & ********** had verbal & Hand shake agreements. The reason I am contacting you is that the AAS Attorney spoke to my Secretary threatening that he had to speak to me & my wife which I thought very Unprofessional, Unethical & downright Rude & I have nothing signed agreements or even any verbal contact with this company & *** ******* made me aware of him selling his company to these people just a month before his retirement & as he was retireing I promptly changed companies, because of COVID I was performing less than half the number of tests I had requested ********** to charge half the amount till the COVID was declared controlled & he had no problem with it as we have been working together for 13 yrs or so, I request that you please look into this matter & take appropriate action & stop this Harassment. Thanking You.Business response
