Sherman Aquisitions II LP/Alegis Group
Attempts to collection on unverified accounts

I was sent a letter from a collection company called Merchants Credit Group in Chicago, IL. The letter stated I owed $394 to Southwestern Bell and that debt was purchased by Sherman Aquisitions II LP. I have never had any dealings with Southwestern Bell, which does not exist anymore, and I did my research to find out that Alegis was the creditor attempting to collect on this fictious debt. I disputed the letter and was responded to as others have by this feeble attempt to quote case law and did not provide all required information under the Fair Debt Collection Practice act.

After more research I was able to determine this was the case and drafted a cease and desist letter to Sherman Aquisitions CEO and general counsel, to Alegis group in SC, to the collection company in Chicago, the Attorney General of Illinois and South Carolina, the FTC, and most importantly, wrote a letter to the BBB of South Carolina. The BBB investigated my claim and subsequently I received a letter forwarded to me by the BBB written by Alegis Group stating that they have found that there is no debt reported under my name and that they are now reporting a zero balance and that they will remove my name from their records and that they, nor none of their affiliate companies will attempt to contact me.

I feel this is a major victory and I implore everyone to contact the South Carolina BBB for assistance.
