FAQs About ARG Resolutions & Processing Services
1. Is ARG Resolutions & Processing Services a legitimate company?
Yes, they are a legitimate third-party debt collection agency, but their tactics can cross into illegal harassment.
2. Can I sue ARG Resolutions for harassment?
Yes. If they violate the FDCPA (e.g., calling at odd hours, using threats, calling after a cease letter), you can sue for statutory damages up to $1,000, plus actual damages and attorney’s fees.
3. What is the fastest way to stop the calls?
Sending a written cease and desist letter via certified mail is the most direct legal method to stop phone calls. They can only contact you after that to confirm they will stop or to notify of specific legal actions.
4. Should I pay ARG Resolutions to make them stop?
Not immediately. First, force them to validate the debt. Paying even a small amount on a time-barred (old) debt can legally “revive” it, making you liable for the full amount again.
5. What if the debt isn’t mine?
Send a written dispute and validation request immediately. State clearly that you dispute owing the debt and demand all evidence. If it’s not yours, they must cease collection.
6. Can they call my family or employer?
They can only contact third parties to locate you, but they cannot discuss the debt or say they are a collector. Once they have your contact info, these calls must stop.
7. What should I do if they threaten to sue me?
Do not ignore it. Seek legal advice. While many threats are bluffs, a real lawsuit requires a response. A lawyer can help you determine if the threat is credible based on the debt’s age and your state’s laws.
8. How long can ARG Resolutions try to collect this debt?
They can attempt to collect indefinitely, but the key period is your state’s “statute of limitations” (usually 3-6 years), after which they cannot successfully sue you to collect.
9. Will this hurt my credit score?
If the debt is reported to the credit bureaus, it likely already is. The impact lessens over time. Paying a collection account does not remove it from your report but updates its status.
