      Dear Ms. ***************************************** (TRS) has received your BBB complaint regarding the reference numbers mentioned above and your request for a Cease-and-Desist. *** has updated our systems accordingly and you will receive no further contact from ***. Please note, however *** reports all active debt items to its affiliate ********* Services, LLC, a specialty reporting agency. Accordingly, these items may affect your ability to write checks or open a bank account with merchants working with ********* until resolved. As detailed below, we have tried to resolve this issue with you but to date, you have not returned the declarations previously provided. We are attaching it again in the hope that we can resolve and close these items out.1 

      We also believe the issue with the above referenced items was already addressed in our previous correspondence of May 22, 2025, which you included a copy of that letter with your complaint, that also included attached a prefilled TRS Forgery/ID Theft Declaration for you to review and if desired, sign and return to TRS to allow it to update these items as the product of forgery, fraud, or identity theft, and close them in its system. On October 31, 2024, you were also sent a letter with a prefilled Declaration enclosed. I have enclosed a copy of this letter for your review. 

      As of this date, TRS has not received the completed and signed Declaration, as requested in that May 22, 2025, and October 31, 2024, letters. I have enclosed another TRS Forgery/ID Theft Declaration. Upon your review of the Declaration, you will note that *** has pre-filled much of the information in the Declaration. To complete the form, you just need to review the form and confirm its accuracy. If it is accurate, please check the appropriate boxes, sign the form, date the form, and send it back to the address on the form. If you prefer to use something else, any or all of the below pieces of information would also assist us: 

      a copy of a filed police report listing all disputed items; 
      a completed FTC Identity Theft Report Affidavit available at ***********; or 
      a completed bank affidavit or declaration. 

      Be assured that information you provide is legally protected from unauthorized disclosure. You may fax this information to **************. Please provide a phone number where you may be reached during business hours if we have questions. If we do not hear back from you with further information regarding these items or with the completed Declaration, TRS will assume that you no longer dispute these items. 

      If I can answer any other questions about this matter, please feel free to call me directly at ************** or contact our ******************** at ************** Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET. Thank you for assisting TRS in maintaining the accuracy of its records.

I checked and the seller said unavailable. I asked the seller the question about the wrong account they never contacted me back. today is June the 25th I get home and I get a letter from TRS recovery services that I owe ***** + $20 fee for $41.18 I owe them for Amazon marketplace payments. I never received anything from ****** marketplace.

      ****** *******, made two purchases from ****** and gave my address as the billing address. They are not my purchases. When I tried explaining this to the representative at ***, they asked for my driver's license number which I mistakenly gave them. I was told the could not find me in their system and asked for my banking information (account number and routing number) and my social security number. I lwas not comfortable giving them that info. Then they asked for my phone number, I refused. They said they could not help me unless I gave them my personal information and that's when I told them I would be contacting you.They have the purchasers information. Why are they coming after me?I want this dropped and removed from my credit if they have filed a claim.

      None of ***'s information has anything to do with me. She was defrauded, NOT ME. Somebody put my name and address as the purchaser and I am guilty until proven innocent? What kind of ** is that? This company is fighting for the fraudsters and they need to cease and decist immediately.

      TRS recovery services is attempting to collect a debt for ****** for a transaction I made on Dec 9th, 2024. They are saying the payment method used was not valid, but I see in my end that the payment went through by ****** on Dec 18th, 2024. They gave me a reference number of **************. The so called debt is in the amount of $71.64. I have disputed the charge and provided documentation, but received another letter stating that the debt is still in an active status. I even called ****** to ask about this, and they didnt know anything about it and said the charge did go through in that amount on Dec 18th, 2024. I do believe I am being falsely charged and wonder if this is in fact even a legitimate company.

      Dear Ms. ******************************************* (TRS) received your BBB complaint regarding the item referenced above. *** certainly understands and apologizes for any frustration in our attempt to collect the above-referenced item that Amazon1  assigned to us for collection after the payment returned from the bank. In our experience, ****** customer service personnel is not always aware when a payment made to a vendor on ******* website has returned unpaid. Thus it may appear to them that there is no debt owed to ******, however, there is still an open debt owed based on a return payment to one of the merchants selling on ******. That is what appears to have happened here.  

      For background, when a consumer sets their account with ****** it can be tied to a checking account as a form of payment. Transactions are electronically processed like a check even though no check is actually involved. When the checking account is selected as a form of payment it is applied to the transaction, which can directly be with ****** or with one of its associated vendors. 

      TRS records indicate this transaction was processed on December 9, 2024, for $71.64. The transaction returned unpaid by the bank because of a stop payment and processed on a ******** checking account ending in ****1994. 

      We contacted ****** to verify the transaction and the shipment of the products. ****** verified that part of your order in the amount of $31.32 was cancelled and that the amount that is due is $40.32. *** has made the adjustment to reflect the cancelled order leaving a balance due of $40.32. We have enclosed a copy of the receipt and shipment details provided by ****** for your review. Please call ****** if you have concerns or further questions at ************. 

      Again, as this was not a traditional check which was used, but rather processed as an electronic check. These documents reflect the purchase and sale of the items. Accordingly, our records indicate the following active debt:

      Dear Ms. ******************************************* (TRS) has received your BBB complaint disputing the above-referenced item. While TRS certainly understands and apologizes for any frustration in our attempt to collect the above-referenced item, our communication to you was not a scam, but rather the result of an item ****** assigned to us for collection after they notified us the payment returned from the bank. 

      To clarify, TRS1 provides debt collections services for merchants across different markets. We are not a credit reporting agency, nor do we report to the main credit reporting agencies, i.e., **********, ********, and Equifax, so there should be no effect to your credit score as a result of this outstanding item. 

      As part of our investigation, we reached out to the ****** to obtain verification of the transaction. Enclosed, please find a copy of the Transaction Invoice and shipping details provided by ****** for your review and as validation for this item. Please review the validation carefully as the billing address information matches the shipping address information. For background, the item in reference was a transaction initiated2 with Amazon Marketplace Pmts on March 26, 2025, for $154.33 from a The Golden 1 ************ account ending in ***2966. After this transaction returned unpaid from the bank as hold on funds, the item was subsequently assigned by ****** to *** for collection; a $25.00 statutory return service fee was added. Below is a summary of the active item as it now appears in TRS' system: 

      Transaction #: 44-250914425790
      Date: 03/26/2025 
      Amount: $154.33 
      Original Creditor: Amazon Marketplace Pmts 
      Current Creditor: Amazon Marketplace Pmts 
      Fee: $25.00 
      Total Due: $179.33 

      After reviewing this information, if you would like to make a payment, you can choose one of the following options: (1) you may call ****************************** at **************; or (2) you can mail a cashiers check or money order to the following address: 

      _______________________________

      1. For more information regarding our services please visit our website: ****************************** 
      2 When a consumer links their ****** account to a checking account, transaction(s) are processed electronically, similar to a check. This payment method can be used for transaction(s) with ****** or its associated vendors. If the transaction(s) returns from the bank, ****** will assign the returned item(s) to TRS Recovery Services, Inc. (TRS) for collection. Please review the following link for further explanation: 
      *********************************************************************************;

      Please include the reference number on the payment to ensure posting accuracy. 

      However, if after reviewing this information, if you believe this debt is a result of forgery, fraud, or identity theft, please provide any or all the following information to support your fraud claim: 

      (1) TRS's Forgery/Identity Theft Declaration form (form enclosed with this letter) which can also be submitted on *** website at ******************************. The form can also be downloaded, completed, and mailed; 
      (2) copy of a filed police report, which identifies the debt in question; 
      (3) complete an online questionnaire on the *** website (***********) by following these steps: Click on the "Report Fraud" tab, complete and submit online form, provide a copy of the *** report including the *** file number; or 
      (4) a completed bank affidavit or declaration. The document should be on bank letterhead, include the details of the debt associated with the dispute, and be signed by a bank representative. The document should confirm that the debt is the result of forgery/fraud/identity theft. 

      TRS will assume you no longer dispute this item, or the information and validation enclosed with this letter, unless you contact us to provide additional information for review. Additionally, please be assured that all information provided to *** is legally protected against unauthorized disclosure and requested solely for the purpose of verifying your identity with the attached debt item. 

      Please note TRS reports active items to TeleCheck Services, LLC (*********) until resolved. This may hinder a consumers check writing ability with those merchants and banks utilizing ********** check acceptance or account screening ********************. 

      Finally, TRS has received your request that we cease and desist communication with you regarding the item and your account has been updated in our system to reflect the same.

      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.

      I have contacted ****** numerous times and they say they have been paid for this order. I should not be double charged for something I have already paid for. I have attached an email from ****** listing the order number and stating I have paid for it. I will not be paying double to a collection service when I have already paid for this order. I have attached the email from ****** to this dispute. This order has been paid, and I will not be paying any other company or organization extra for it. TRS Recovery Services is trying to recover a charge that I have already paid for. How are they considered a legitimate company? None of this makes any sense. 

      Thank you for your investigation, but I will not be paying them any extra money that I do not owe.

      Dear Ms. *********************** received your rebuttal and want to be very clear. *** has no interest in making you pay twice for the same purchase. The issue here though is that our records show this item in fact never cleared your back account. 

      Attached is a screen shot that shows that this item returned unpaid due to a "Hold on Funds in Account" in our system. See attached. Additionally, as we were not involved in your conversations with ******, we cannot determine what information they may have provided to you. However, this item was assigned to us for collection by ******, and our records indicate that it was returned unpaid. 

      We ask that you review the screenshot and, if you still believe that this item cleared your bank, we suggest you reach out to your bank and ask them specifically to show you where this item cleared your account. If you or they confirm this to you, you could send us copies of your bank statement showing the running balance between three business days before the transaction and three business days after it returned with the transaction in question and the running balance clearly visible for our review (i.e. from March 21, 2025, to April 4, 2025, inclusive). Alternatively, if your bank provides a signed letter on a bank letterhead confirming that this item in fact cleared and was paid, that should also resolve the issue. Until the necessary information is returned as requested, this item will remain active in our system, as seen below: 

      Transaction #: 44-250914425790

      Finally, in our initial correspondence TRS acknowledged your request that we cease and desist communication with you regarding this item and your account was updated in our system to reflect the request.

      This company continues to send notices that I owe money to them even though I was sent a letter months ago expressing that I was no liable for this debt as it was fraud. This has comprised my ability to process each payments to ANY vendor I do business with. How can this be resolved?

      Dear Ms. ************************************* (TRS) received your BBB complaint regarding the above-referenced items ultimately assigned to TRS
      for collection. TRS regrets any inconvenience or confusion you have experienced in our attempt to recover the above
      referenced items. Please note that while researching your complaint, we located additional items in *********** and have
      included them in our investigation. An explanation follows below.
      For background, when a consumer sets their account with ****** it can be tied to a checking account as a form of payment.
      Transactions are electronically processed like a check even though no check is actually involved. When the checking account is
      selected as a form of payment it is applied to the transaction, which can directly be with Amazon or with one of its associated
      vendors.
      TRS records reflect these items as referenced above all returned from the bank unpaid because of insufficient funds on the
      following bank accounts: **************** Group1
      checking account ending in ****1009, *************
      ending in
      ****1616, and ***************************
      checking account ending in ****3280. A statutory return check service fee, in the
      amount of $25.00, was applied to each of the items referenced above.
      We contacted ****** to verify the transactions and the shipment of the products. ****** confirmed the orders were shipped
      to the address above. We have enclosed a copy of the receipt and shipment details provided by ****** for your review. Please
      call ****** if you have concerns or further questions at ************.
      Again, as these were not traditional checks which were used, but rather processed as electronic checks. These documents
      reflect the purchase and sale of the items. Accordingly, our records indicate the following active debts:
      1 The referenced item attached to ********************** is 44-242904425994. This debt was closed on December 4, 2024,
      due to ****** not providing validation. (See attached letter)
      2 The referenced items attached to ************* are 44-250504426487, 44-250504426509, 44-250504426500, 44-

      On 2/15, 2/16, and 2/17/2025, I was notified by my bank alerts that there were some checks that were processing in my account. I do have a checking account, but don't have checks, nor have I written a check in years. I immediately called my bank and they decided to close my account. The three checks that were written were done so online to a ******* store in **, one that I've never even been to. The signature line on the checks just said "Preauthorized Signature". All three notifications came in around 2:00AM. I have now received three letters from TRS Recovery Services. I called the number listed on the checks and spoke with an individual that stated I need to go to their website and fill out all the personal information requested. When I told him that they should already have everything they needed, he seemed a little flustered. After carefully looking at their website, I show it was 2025 created. He told me they'd be around for awhile.

Later in December, I started receiving letters from *** in ******** GA. The first letter I explained what happened and mailed back. I then received a second letter asking for documentation.

      This is a communication from a debt collector.
      This is an attempt to collect a debt.
      Any information obtained will be used for that purpose.
      SEE ENCLOSED FOR OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
      Dear Ms. ************************************ (TRS) has received your BBB complaint replying to our earlier letter. See attached. TRS is
      attempting to collect the three referenced items above. We are doing our best to understand your complaint, but we are having
      some difficulty. We think the confusion may be this the records you provided and that we reviewed show four different
      ******** and no double payment.
      Here is what our investigation has revealed. On 12/10/24 and 12/11/24 you made a series of purchases from ***********.
      Those purchases are as follows:1
      12/10/24 - $94.05
      12/10/24 - $5.00
      12/11/24 - $81.90
      12/11/24 - $12.67
      Our records reflect that while the first item (for $94.05) successfully processed, the remaining three did not because you issued
      a stop payment on those with your bank. The bank account statement your provided appears to confirm your stop pays and
      reflect an $81.90 credit on 12/12/24 and credits for $12.67 and $5.00 on 12/16/24.
      When you issued those stop payments, as detailed in the footnote below, the stop pays generated collection items that were
      ultimately assigned to us for collection. Based on your earlier complaint we did reach out to ******* who confirmed to us the
      three purchases (for $81.90, $12.67 and $5.00) were submitted for processing and the purchased merchandise was sent to you.
      See attached March 4, 2025 Letter. If you exclude the $5.00 delivery fee, those items total $94.57, an amount similar to the
      $94.50 purchase, they are not the same and the represent different purchases. We are attaching the validation for this $94.05
      purchase here.
      As a result, the following items remain active in our system:
      1 When you made these purchases using your checking account as a means of payment, our affiliate ********* Services, LLC
      processed the payment and provided a warranty against the risk of non-payment. When you subsequently issued a stop
      payment for the $81.90 purchase, the $12.67 purchase and the $5.00 purchase, ********* warranted those items for *******
      and acquired ownership of them. TeleCheck then assigned them to TRS for collection.

      The fourth item, for $94.05, appears to have successfully processed. We trust this explanation has cleared up any confusion as
      to the status of these items.
      If you would like to make a payment on any of all of the three items above, you may call TRS Inbound Payment Department
      at ************** or you can mail a cashiers check or money order to the following address:
      TRS Recovery Services, Inc.

      Please include the reference number on the payment to ensure posting accuracy. *** will assume you agree with the
      information in this letter, including the validation enclosed, unless you contact us to provide additional information for our
      review.
      Finally, please note TRS does not report debt items to the three major credit bureaus, specifically Equifax, **********, and
      Experian; therefore, this item should not have any effect on your credit score with those agencies. However, *** reports active
      items to ********* until resolved. This may hinder a consumers check writing ability with those merchants and banks

      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.

      I do see 2 payments on 12/10/2024 and 12/12/2024 as shown on my ************* statement attached.  I contacted ******* customer service twice over chat and once over the phone to correct this.  Each time I was told it would be refunded within 5-7 days.  When it was clear it wasn't done, I disputed the charge with my bank as *******'s website suggests.

      Dear Ms. ************************************ (TRS) has received your BBB rebuttal in response to our earlier correspondence. Once again,
      TRS is attempting to collect the three referenced items above. Please reference our previous response explaining in great detail
      where the misunderstanding may lie on your end. To reiterate, the records you provided, and we reviewed show four different
      ******** with no double payment. We contacted ******* again, and they confirmed that the items are due, and no refund was
      issued, as no items were returned or canceled. As stated in the validation sent to you on March 4, 2025, ******* confirmed
      that all items within your order were successfully processed and delivered (see attached).
      As a result, the following items remain active in our system:
      Transaction # Date Amount Original Creditor Current Creditor Fee Total Due
      44-243484490359 12/10/2024 $81.90 ******* TeleCheck Services, LLC $0.00 $81.90

      44-243534425547 12/11/2024 $5.00 ******* TeleCheck Services, LLC $0.00 $5.00
      The item, totaling $94.05, was processed as a separate transaction and completed prior to the items mentioned above. This
      transaction is not associated with the items currently due with TRS. Validation for this item has been provided for your review,
      indicating it was processed on a different date. As a result, we see no need for any further explanation as we believe the above

      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.

      I can only repeat, I was told 3 times by ******* **************** that I would receive a refund for the duplicate charge.  According the ******* help online, it says to dispute with my bank if I don't receive.  

      I followed these instructions and less than a month later started getting letters from TRS (collections).  

      You keep stating that I stopped payment.  This is not correct.  I disputed with my bank.  ******* found the charge to be a duplicate.
