Debt collection Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)

Complaint #1382671 submitted on 05/19/2015 relating to Viking Client Services, Inc.. Complaint relates to Debt collection Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.) - Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed Debt is not mine.

Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Tuesday 19th May 2015.

Narrative (may be redacted).

On XXXX/XXXX/15, Viking Client Services contacted me by mail about a " debt '' of {$670.00} from XXXX Car Rental. I know of no such debt. I contacted XXXX who had never told me about anything like this, and XXXX had no information about it. I wrote on XXXX/XXXX/15 to Viking telling them there was no such debt and asking that they drop it or " obtain a verification of the debt or obtain a copy of a judgment and mail to me a copy of such judgment or verification '' as they had indicated they would do so in their XXXX/XXXX/15 letter. They have not done so or responded in any way. On XXXX/XXXX/15, I received a letter dated XXXX/XXXX/15 again referring to this " debt '' and " offering '' me an initial payment plan of {$50.00} per month for XXXX months.

This entire approach seems fraudulent, predatory and abusive. They have not provided any information on this " debt '' ( as they indicated they would do XXXX. I worry not so much about me, as about other poor individuals whom they must be approaching with similar tactics : official-looking letters, names of big corporations XXXX like XXXX XXXX, and no back-up or information. Just demands for cash payment for so-called " debts. " I am willing to cooperate with the CFPB or any other agency to help stop these predatory, abusive practices. If there is an attempt to collect a " debt, '' the debt collector should at a minimum be required to describe the so-called " debt '' to the debtor.
