      I received notice from Monarch Recovery Management regarding ****** ******** revolving credit for amount of$21517.32. Above my name on mailing address is ‘South Kansas and Oki’. I have no idea what this is & know that it is not mine. I do not wish to be bothered or harassed for something I do not owe. In reading reviews of this company, looks like I’m not alone. Thank you for any assistance.

      Today I received a call from this establishment while I was at work. I had my earbuds in my ear, so I guess it was hard for the 'employee' to hear me. So, I took my earbuds out and said hello in a low tone, however, loud enough to be heard on the line. She said "can you speak up" in a rude tone. I said "I can't speak up I'm at work", I am also sick, so I cannot talk at my regular volume. She then said " you at work but you answered the phone though" then hung up in my face. Extremely rude and uncalled for! I didn't even get a chance to get her name she was totally unprofessional. They should be more careful with who they hire.

       Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because: That is a complete lie. She clearly said in a very rude aggressive manner "You're at work yet you answered the phone" then HUNG UP in my face. There was no problem hearing me obviously if she was able to respond to me saying I was at work! That employee needs consequences and to know that is no way to treat customers or talk to anyone in general. The employees a company has says volumes about the integrity of the company and the values they implement.

      Monarch Recovery Management has been contacting my husband about a debt of over $900 that I owe to ** ****. They somehow got his number even though it wasn't provided to them or ** ****. I contacted ** **** to verify if I owed them anything. The representative I spoke with confirmed that I owe nothing in my account or in their records. I paid off any debt I had towards ** **** well over a year ago. I would like them to stop calling my husband and not contact me anymore as I confirmed with ** **** that I owe nothing.

      Monarch Recovery Management mailed me a letter in December with reference number ******** claiming that I owe them a debt. This is the first time I have heard of and been contacted by this company. I have called the number listed on the letter and they requested personal information that I was not comfortable providing given the nature of the letter and the tone of the person on the phone. It did not sound like a professional speaker nor was I greeted, I was only asked for my information. The letter claims I owe it to one creditor named ****** for $47.66 yet my online profile lists the debt for 2 completely unrelated creditors (ALL of which I have never been associated with, nor heard of). I never owe debts and only own 2 credit cards that I keep track of. My credit reports show no collections or debts. I reached out to them using their online form (on january 4) since the letter says they accept such requests online at www.monarchrm.com/customer-assistance and was met with a screen that I would be contacted yet I have not heard a single word from them. The letter states that I must write to them by January 10th, which I have done electronically but they are stalling by not acknowledging my submission. This debt does not belong to me and they have yet to provide verification of this debt or contact me back regarding it.

      I got like 1-2 mails and 1 phone call from Monarch Recovery Management asking for some debt from ** **** for like 80$ for the account which I had with later. I did made the account closure request to ** **** and at the time of doing that I ensured that there were no payables pending and the account stood at $0 balance at the time of closure. Now after the closure ** **** had debited $56 dollars to my account stating that there’s a transaction which was credited me twice for **** **** which surely isn’t the case. I did asked the same thing to ** **** that too via BBB complaint and still the explanation for the same remains not understandable… same thing i asked to the lady who called me from monarch and still it remains unexplained and to make things worse monarch is still chasing me without bothered much to provide an explanation to the client they are chasing for debt instead of providing the clarity of what actually the debt is for. So anyone who’s reading this complaint from monarch first thing would be to give me a “simple lay man terms” understanding of which debt you’re trying to recover here. According to me there’s not a single penny left from my end to be paid to ** ****. And if you’re not able to provide this “asked explanation” that’s the last formal warning I would like to give here before making you “re-realise” the Federal Fair Practice Debt Collection Act to be very much implemented in this case which looks quite evident if I am getting any sort of notice or a correspondence apart from the explanation of what this debt is about.
