What most people don't know about RJM Acquisitions:
RJM Acquisitions LLC purchases portfolios of charged-off consumer debt rather than collecting on behalf of the original creditor, meaning it — not a third party — must itself produce the assignment/chain-of-title documents proving it owns a given account.
Why Is RJM Acquisitions on My Credit Report?
RJM Acquisitions typically collects charged-off consumer debt. A collection like this usually lands on your report because:
- ✅ An original account (a charged-off consumer debt, for example) went unpaid and was charged off.
- ✅ The account was sold to RJM Acquisitions, which now owns the debt and is trying to collect the full balance.
- ✅ RJM Acquisitions furnished the account to one or more of the three credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion).
Important: a collection account on its own does not prove you owe the debt or that the amount is correct. That's where your rights come in.
Your Rights When RJM Acquisitions Contacts You
Federal law — the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) — gives you powerful tools. Here is the playbook we use at Crowned Credit.
1. Debt Validation (FDCPA §809)
Within 30 days of first contact, send RJM Acquisitions a written debt-validation letter. They must prove the debt is yours, the amount is correct, and they have the legal right to collect. If they can't, they must stop collecting and it should come off your report.
2. Dispute With the Bureaus (FCRA §611)
You can dispute the RJM Acquisitions tradeline directly with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. The bureaus have 30 days to investigate. If the account can't be verified, the law requires it be deleted or corrected.
3. Cease-and-Desist
You can demand in writing that RJM Acquisitions stop contacting you. They can still report and sue, but they must stop calls and letters — useful for stopping harassment while you build your case.
4. Pay-for-Delete (in writing only)
If the debt is valid and yours, you may negotiate to pay in exchange for deletion of the tradeline. Never pay on a verbal promise — get the pay-for-delete agreement in writing first.
5. Statute of Limitations
Every state has a time limit on how long a collector can sue you for a debt. If the debt is "time-barred," RJM Acquisitions can still ask for payment but generally cannot win a lawsuit — and making a payment can dangerously restart the clock.
6. Protection From Harassment
The FDCPA bars RJM Acquisitions from calling at unreasonable hours, threatening you, or lying. Every violation is potential leverage — and may entitle you to damages.

RJM Acquisitions — Frequently Asked Questions
Is RJM Acquisitions a scam or a legitimate company?
RJM Acquisitions is a real, registered debt buyer headquartered in Buffalo, NY.

Can RJM Acquisitions be removed from my credit report?
Yes — inaccurate, unverifiable, or improperly reported RJM Acquisitions collection accounts can be removed. Under the FCRA, the credit bureaus must investigate your dispute, and if RJM Acquisitions cannot verify the debt, it must come off your report. Crowned Credit reviews the account for errors, demands debt validation, and disputes it with all three bureaus.
Should I pay RJM Acquisitions or dispute it first?
Do not pay before you validate. Once you confirm a collection is yours, accurate, and within the statute of limitations, you may consider a pay-for-delete agreement in writing. But paying an unverified or time-barred debt can restart the clock and lock in a negative entry. Get a free assessment before you send any money to RJM Acquisitions.
How long can RJM Acquisitions report this debt?
Most negative collection accounts can remain on your credit report for up to seven years from the original delinquency date — not from when RJM Acquisitions acquired or began collecting it. If the account is being "re-aged" to look newer, that is a reporting violation you can dispute.
Will RJM Acquisitions sue me?
Some collectors and debt buyers do file lawsuits, especially before the statute of limitations expires. If you are served, do not ignore it. Validate the debt, check whether it is time-barred in your state, and get help. Because this type of entity is more likely to litigate, acting early matters.
