How to deal with Aargon Agency Inc debt collectors

Debt Collectors assume consumers are unaware of their rights, and they may try to intimidate you. However, you have several options to choose from in dealing with Aargon Agency Inc debt collectors:

Gather crucial information

Debt collectors hate being asked questions about the debt they are trying to collect. If it is a scammer, they may hang up when you start asking for more details. If it is a genuine Aargon debt collector, they should address your concerns. Ask them to identify themselves fully, the creditor company they represent, and the accuracy of the debt. Preferably, request them to respond in writing or via email.

Request for debt validation

Requesting for debt validation is the best way to establish how serious and honest Aargon is in collecting the debt. SoloSuit's Debt Validation Letter template is ideal because it includes important details that Aargon needs to add when they respond. The debt validation notice you receive should have:

A breakdown of the debt and the total amount you owe
Information about the original creditor
A statement saying that you have 30 days to dispute the debt if you doubt the debt referenced
A statement showing that you can request Aargon for more information regarding the debt if it is still not clear

Once you receive the debt validation notice, you have 30 days to take action, or the debt will automatically be considered valid, and Aargon can add it to your credit report if they haven't already.

Here's how to make a Debt Validation Letter in 2 easy steps:

Dispute the debt with credit bureaus

If you believe the debt Aargon has outlined in the debt validation notice is not yours, then you can send a debt dispute letter to the credit bureaus to clear your name. According to the Fair Crediting Reporting Act, you have a right to dispute any information you believe to be incomplete or incorrect on your credit report. Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion credit bureaus will investigate to determine the validity of your claim.

If they find your dispute accurate, they will correct or remove it from your report. If Aargon proves that the debt is yours, they have the right to continue their efforts in collecting, and the debt will remain in the credit report for seven years.
