Initially I never was contacted by Mitchell Rubenstein & Assoc. They were not the holders listed on my credit report pulled XXXX. XXXX had sold it to another company, and I had to call that company and was told my loan had been transferred to MRA. MRA never sent me a bill or any notification that they had taken over my debt or how or where to send payments. My debt was XXXX. I called MRA on XXXX/XXXX/15, and after being grilled about why I had not made any type of payment and explaining that I did not even know they had my debt, I told them I wanted to make XXXX large payments over the next 6 weeks ( XXXX pay periods ) but could not pay it all off on that day and the women I talked to was ok with that. I made the first payment through their electronic site XXXX/XXXX/15 for XXXX. They called me on XXXX/XXXX/15 to ask me why I had not made a complete payment, claiming I said I would make {$1000.00} payments, to which I had definitely not agreed. I was threatened over the phone to immediately send them {$50.00} or be in default, and I countered that I would send their {$50.00} but then would just pay them {$100.00} a month for the next year or XXXX since my paying them off in large chunks every 2 weeks was apparently too difficult for them. She backed down and said that my sending larger amounts after my payday would be " sufficient ''. I made another electronic payment on XXXX/XXXX/15 for XXXX. When I tried to make the final payment online on XXXX/XXXX/15, their payment website was not working. I called them on XXXX/XXXX/15 and then again on XXXX/XXXX/15 and XXXX/XXXX/15, all 3 times forced to leave a message ( could not get to a live person any time ) asking them to return my call ( s ) as I wanted to make the final payment but the website was not working and I needed an address to which I could mail a check. I still have not received a return call from them. I did receive a letter dated XXXX/XXXX/15 threatening legal action since I was in default. I would not have been in default if they had ever sent me written correspondence when they took over the loan ( then I would have had an address or possibly a more direct phone number ), if they had ever sent me a bill, or if they had returned any of my phone calls. I understand that companies buy loans from other companies, but do n't they have to notify people when they do that?
