Consumer Complaint: Hello, I was reaching out because I had an issue with a debt I had. I got into a situation where I had too much debt and douldnt pay everything. I starting working with a consolidation company, My issue is with one of my creditors XXXX the consolidation company actually negotiated a settlement amount that was to be made in 3 consecutive payments and the account would be settled. The first 2 payments XXXX accepted and they went through, the third payment they rejected. This defaulted the settlement with them, because of this issue I stopped working with the consolidation company. Since then XXXX has sold my debt to a third party collection agency and now refuses to speak with me regarding the matter even when I tell them I am disputing. I am trying to see if there is any help for me out there. This does not seem like it would be ok to do.
