Stonington Park Mediation Group Inc. is registered with the New York Department of State (DOS ID 6443115) as a Domestic Business Corporation in Niagara County, filed 29 March 2022. It describes itself as a debt-portfolio recovery and mediation firm that purchases charged-off receivables (credit cards, loans, medical and utility debt) from original creditors and pursues recovery through correspondence, phone calls, and skip tracing. The company's own site states it has "over a decade and a half" of specialization in this business; this does not match the 2022 incorporation date found in New York's own corporate registry, and no source found in this research explains the discrepancy (a predecessor company, earlier unincorporated operation, or the prior industry experience of its personnel cannot be ruled out, but none was identified).

The company's Better Business Bureau profile is not accredited and carries an F rating. Complaint narratives reviewed there and on ScamPulse describe a recurring pattern: consumers say they were contacted about debts they don't recognize, don't owe, or have already paid; several describe threats of lawsuits, wage garnishment, bank-account freezes, or arrest; several describe the company refusing or failing to provide documentation validating the debt when asked; a few describe the company contacting relatives or an ex-spouse; and several describe rude or aggressive phone conduct. In at least one BBB business response, the company acknowledged a staff member's rudeness and said that employee had been removed. These are consumer allegations, not independently established facts, and the counts vary depending on the source and snapshot date reviewed.

New York's 23 NYCRR 1 regulates collection conduct statewide but does not itself require a statewide license. New York City's DCWP requires a Debt Collection Agency license for any agency collecting from NYC residents, including a debt buyer, regardless of whether it owns the debt being collected -- licensing there turns on where the consumer is, not on debt ownership. The City of Buffalo licenses certain collection-agency activity under City Code Chapter 140, and that ordinance does include an exemption for entities collecting only debts that are exclusively their own -- but the company's own site states it does two distinct things: it purchases debt portfolios outright, and separately recovers "receivables purchased by our clients directly from the original creditor," meaning debt owned by its clients, not by the company itself. Buffalo's exemption, if it applies at all, would only cover the first activity; collecting on debt its clients own would not qualify for it. Whether either city's license requirement actually applies to specific accounts was not established. No exact-name match was found in the CFPB enforcement materials or public Consumer Complaint Database; this does not establish that no complaint exists under a different name variant or database classification.
