These keep calling me and as explained to them that all debt previously had in Atlanta, Ga. was placed on my bankrupcy. But they continue to call me. I have reported them to my attorney.
We got a letter from ARSS,LLC and that they are partnered with Sentinel Offender Services (a California Company). They were calling from Atlanta and that there was a warrant out for the arrest of my son, who left Atlanta over a year ago. The warrant was due to probation violation. He did meet with a probation officer over a year and half ago, regarding a speeding ticket. They gave an alternate number of 1-404-752-9115 for a reference. I asked if this fine of $82 could be paid on line, they said no. Debit or Credit cards only. Scary. All of his stuff was cleared up by an attorney over a year ago. As per the letter we never have gotten numerous contacts. There is someone from the traffic area giving these guys the information. That is what is so frightening.
If you get a call from this number misrepresenting itself, please file a complaint with the FCC: http://www.fcc.gov/complaints. If they receive enough complaints, they'll investigate. In addition, they send information on how to file a lawsuit.
ARSS is calling me stating Dekalb Co. Water has file a complaint against my SSN to collect fees for service on a rental property is had over 4 years ago. I was not required to pay and deposits at the time I had service transferred to my name because I have excellent credit. When the house was rented, my tenant all ALL utilities transferred to her name. After a divorce, I was not able to supplement the mortgage and the bank would not approve a short sale, so the house was foreclosed on and purchased back by the bank. It has changed owner a couple of times since I owned the house.
Dekalb county send me a Final bill, which was paid. I was not contacted about NO additional fees by mail/phone/email by Dekalb county. The first time I am hearing about these fees were when I was contacted by ARSS. I still live in Dekalb county after 16 years (11 at current residence) and I was Not contacted. I do not feel I am responsible for fees that was not properly assessed to the previous/current owner of this house. I informed Mr. Pass I am not responsible for these fees and would not pay. I have received several calls at my job.
I also called Dekalb county to after I received the 1st call to inquire about the charges and they would not give me any information. I was told I had to talk to directly to ARSS. I inform the representative that I was never notified of any charges. She reiterated I had to speak to ARSS.
i moved from DeKalb County to California. I got a letter from ARSS about a year later saying I owed this enormous bill to DeKalb County Watershed. A pipe had bursted in front of the place I was renting the day after i moved out. the watershed didn't contact me, they sent a $938 bill directly to ARSS. they wouldn't tell me anything about my account--said i had to go thru ARSS. i had to pay half of the bill for ARSS to even look the details of the account and investigate the claim from DeKalb County Watershed. after the headache of proving to them that it was THEIR (the watershed) pipes that busted (not the property owner's responsibility), it was determined i was owed a refund. i paid half of the $938 bill in February 2012. As of May, they had not processed the payment to DeKalb County Watershed--not one cent of it. I filed a complaint with BBB (and called ARSS everyday about sending my money back). Mr./Ms. Huston are aliases. The rep I talked to slipped and told me his real name, Lyn McPier. Anyways, they FINALLY sent the $$ to DeKalb county watershed in JULY! a whole 5 months later!! The Watershed, thankfully, called me and told me they owed a refund to me. They sent it out--to the wrong address (smh). I called after a couple of weeks had passed by--the check had came back to them--but no one called to tell me that. Anyways, they resent the refund check to me and the account is FINALLY closed out as of mid-August. But wouldn't you know, today, i saw a missed call from ARSS (i know their number very well smh again). I called back to see what the problem is. The girl answered "ARSS may i help you". I responded, "yes, i missed your call and i'm returning it." she hung up on me. i called back (just in case the call was "dropped" by accident), she picked the phone up and just hung up again. I waited 10 minutes, called back, she answered "ARSS", giggled, and hung up.
NOW i'm ready to file harassment charges against these [***]. btw, the BBB said my complaint was completed--the currently have an A- rating with BBB. absolutely ridiculous! they are a company for sure, but they have no policy in place to provide refunds IN CASE they have a bogus claim from the company who reported you to them. they have nothing in place to rectify the issue for the consumer---when the consumer proves to be right.
