Complaint #1739280 submitted on 01/12/2016 relating to Key 2 Recovery, Inc.. Complaint relates to Debt collection Non-federal student loan - Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed Debt is not mine.

Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Tuesday 12th January 2016.

Narrative (may be redacted).

Sometime in XXXX XXXX I started receiving letters from XXXX XXXX XXXX from Key2Recovery regarding a debt to a school that I do not owe. At first, she acted professional, but later on she became very rude and uncooperative. I had taken out a private student loan through XXXX XXXX about 6 or 7 years ago, and am still paying on it. I moved from XXXX at the end of XXXX XXXX, and let XXXX know that I did n't have a mailing address yet but that I would give it to her once I set up a XXXX XXXX XXXX She called me several weeks later asking if I had received the document proving that I owed money to the school, and when I asked her where she had sent it, she said it went to XXXX. I reminded her that I left a voicemail as soon as I moved to XXXX and got my XXXX XXXX XXXX with my new mailing address, but she became very rude and said that she sent it and was n't going to send it again. She also called me " uncooperative '', when I have been trying to do everything I can to figure out what is going on. She has been calling me ever since then, even at strange hours of the evening ( XXXX my time, XXXX her time ). This is all very odd, especially since I have not changed my phone number since I attended the school, so I do n't see why they never called me in the past 6-7 years if I somehow did owe them money. I have even tried calling the said school several times, but have not heard back. I work at a bank, and have heard of a few debt collection agency scams recently going on, so I know better than to just send off money to them without questioning it. So far, I have not had any proof of anything that I have signed saying I owe this school money. I am still paying XXXX XXXX for the student loan, and everything that has occurred thus far has led me to believe this is fraudulent. It also seems that XXXX has violated the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act. It would make sense to me that if I did indeed owe money to the school, they would probably contact me, and XXXX would have happily updated my address when she was on the phone with me last time ( rather than being rude and saying that she already sent the document proving I owed the debt, and that she was n't going to send it again ). Be that as it may, everything about this seems very fishy, not to mention the fact that a strange number ( XXXX ) keeps calling me, without leaving any voicemails. When I looked it up online, it is a credit management company ... and apparently in XXXX, XXXX authorities arrested XXXX people for what they said was a XXXX scam by a debt collection company that victimized more than XXXX people, and a prosecutor said a wider crackdown was underway. Scary.
