Complaint #1695685 submitted on 12/14/2015 relating to Rauch-Milliken International, 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 Monday 14th December 2015.
Our company, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, acquired the assets, but not the liabilities, of XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Early this year, a collection agency, XXXX & XXXX, began aggressively contacting our company regarding a debt from an advertising contract between XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX an advertising company based out of Utah XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, we received a letter from XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX demanding that we pay the debt or they would pursue legal action against our company. We informed XXXX XXXX in a letter on XXXX XXXX, XXXX that the contract preceded our acquisition of XXXX XXXX, and since we did not acquire the liabilities of XXXX XXXX, we do not owe any money. However, the harassment continued.
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, we received a letter from XXXX Rauch Milliken International , Inc., stating that the account had been referred to them in order to facilitate the appropriate litigation procedures. We responded to XXXX XXXX in a letter on XXXX XXXX, XXXX informing her of the reasons we did not owe the money. We also informed her that if our company continued to be harassed about the debt we would file a complaint with the relevant government agencies for violation of unfair business practice laws. XXXX XXXX responded by sending a letter on XXXX XXXX, XXXX in which she threatened to file suit if the debt was not paid within five days.
Being that neither collection agency would address the facts of the situation and that they refused to stop harassing our company, we sent a letter to XXXX XXXX in the hope that they would instruct the debt collectors to cease contact. We have yet to receive a response from XXXX XXXX, and the contact has continued. Our company has continually been harassed by these collection agencies despite having no factual basis to do so. None of the companies have addressed our contentions or have been willing to speak with us regarding the factual history of the debt. We have no other option but to solicit your help in resolving this matter and ensuring that these business practices do not continue in the future.
