Consumer Complaint: In XX/XX/2018, I received a latter from A.R.M. Solutions stating I owe a debt of {$12.00} to XXXX XXXX. I have never had a XXXX XXXX subscription ( or received a newspaper delivery from them ) and when I contacted the XXXX XXXX, they were unable to locate me in their system. I then wrote to A.R.M.
