I settled a debt of $1108.66 with Macys on 5-18-09 for $400.00 and I do have a copy of their settlement agreement & canceled check. It was with a CA:United Collection Bureau, Toledo OH. I am now receiving letters & calls from: Associated Recovery Systems Escondido CA 1-800-900-1349 who are threatening to take me to court for the $708.66 balance. They state "the amount you settled for - if you settled is lower than what is usually agreed to by Citi- which is 50% so we will pursue you in court for the full remaining bal." I hung up on him.

What should I do now.


Yes it does and I called United Collection to be sure and they said the file is " settled and closed" from their end. They said ARS must be a fraud collection agency. I have other accounts to settle ( 2 B of A accounts which have been thru 7 CA's so far) and I am at the point where I don't know who's real or not.

Just did a check on Associated Recovery Systems with the BBB in CA. They have 174 complaints filed against them, not a member and 60 complaints in the past 12 months. I filed a complaint also. Seems they are "picking up" debts that have already been settled with creditors and going after the consumer for the diff. - making believe its not really settled. Scumbags......watch out for this co.
