Viking Client Services, Inc. Complaint: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed

#1523299 18 Aug 2015

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

Complaint #1523299 submitted on 08/18/2015 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 18th August 2015.

Narrative (may be redacted).

In XX/XX/XXXX, I had an accident with a car rented from XXXX. My insurance company paid the claim. XXXX, however, contended there was additional damage that I did n't cause ( was n't noted on the accident report and appeared to be damage caused to the bumper from towing ). In a discussion held in XX/XX/XXXX, a XXXX rep agreed I to not charge for the damage I did n't cause. However, they continued to seek damages for loss of use, even though the repairs to the original damage should n't have taken nearly as long as claimed. When my insurance company and I tried to connect with the XXXX collection department on several occasions to try to resolve the issue, we received no response from XXXX. Then in XX/XX/XXXX, I was contacted again by XXXX with a demand for both the damage I did n't cause and the loss of use.

Finally, I contacted the customer experience team at XXXX with my complaint and received a response that the claim would be dropped ( see attachment " XXXX email string '' ) and that the collection agency would be advised to drop the claim. However, in XX/XX/XXXX, I received a collection notice from Viking Client Services ( see " XXXX '' ) seeking payment.

I am registering this complaint because the XXXX collection area has been singularly unresponsive to earlier communications, so I am concerned that the matter will continue to go unresolved unless sufficient pressure is brought to bear to get their attention. Ultimately, I just want to make sure that a ) the complaint is dropped and b ) the complaint and attempted collection is in no way reflected on my credit record.
