Revenue Group on Your Credit Report: Your Options Explained

Revenue Group has operated out of Cleveland, Ohio for over 30 years under a legal name most consumers never see. The company’s actual corporate entity is Revenue Assistance Corporation, and it runs several additional business names that can create confusion when you try to track down what is actually reporting on your credit file.

The agency also disclosed in its own BBB responses that it does not always report to credit bureaus, which changes how you should approach an account before making any payment.

This guide covers Revenue Group’s structure, confirmed clients, documented complaint patterns, federal protections, and the right sequence for responding.

Who Is Revenue Group?

Revenue Group is a trade name operated by Revenue Assistance Corporation, a Cleveland-based collection agency incorporated in August 1994. The company is not currently BBB-accredited.

Additional registered business names include Roxbury Acquisition Corporation, SalesLoft, RAC, CDS, and Capital Debt Services. Any of these names may appear on your credit reports for accounts the agency is collecting. Confirm which name is reporting before filing any dispute.

Who Does Revenue Group Collect For?

Revenue Group handles healthcare receivables and state government accounts alongside standard consumer debt categories.

Confirmed clients include:

• Ohio Department of Taxation: Revenue Group’s own BBB responses confirm it receives Ohio Department of Taxation accounts referred through the Ohio Attorney General’s office.
• Cleveland-area hospitals: The agency collects unpaid hospital bills, emergency room balances, and inpatient charges from healthcare networks across the Cleveland area.
• Physician groups and clinics: Outpatient medical practices and specialty providers refer past-due patient balances.
• Credit card and consumer accounts: Documented collection activity covers credit card balances and consumer financial accounts alongside healthcare debt.

Does Revenue Group Report to Credit Bureaus?

Revenue Group has stated in its own BBB responses that the agency does not always report accounts to the major credit bureaus. Reporting varies by client and account type.

This matters because paying a debt that is not currently on your credit reports can sometimes trigger reporting that would never have happened otherwise. Pull all three reports at AnnualCreditReport.com before responding to any Revenue Group notice. Confirm whether the account is reporting and under which business name before sending any payment or acknowledgment.

Federal Lawsuits Against Revenue Group

Revenue Group has been a defendant in over 40 federal lawsuits during its 30-year history. Court records and consumer complaints document a consistent pattern of conduct including excessive calling, unauthorized workplace contact, and disclosure of debt information to family members and neighbors without authorization.

Third-party disclosures violate FDCPA privacy protections regardless of whether the underlying debt is legitimate. If Revenue Group has discussed your debt with anyone other than you or your spouse, document every instance with dates and details. FDCPA violations carry up to $1,000 in statutory damages per violation plus actual damages and attorney fees.

Common Revenue Group Complaint Patterns

• Collecting on already-paid debts: A 2025 BBB complaint documented Revenue Group sending a collection notice for a $213 medical bill the consumer had paid in full over a year earlier, with transaction confirmation provided.
• Accepting payments that never reduce the balance: Consumer reports describe Revenue Group processing credit card payments that did not reduce the outstanding balance, with the original creditor still showing the debt as unpaid.
• Third-party disclosure of debt information: Federal lawsuits allege Revenue Group disclosed account details to family members, neighbors, and coworkers without authorization.
• Workplace contact after explicit notice: Complaints describe continued calls to employers after consumers told Revenue Group their workplace prohibits such calls.
• False threats of arrest and criminal prosecution: BBB reviewers describe collectors threatening jail time and criminal charges for unpaid consumer debts, which are explicitly prohibited under federal law.

What Revenue Group Cannot Do Under Federal Law

• Discuss your debt with third parties: Disclosing account information to family members, neighbors, or employers violates FDCPA Section 1692c privacy protections.
• Threaten arrest for consumer debt: No collection agency can threaten criminal prosecution or jail time over an unpaid civil debt.
• Continue workplace calls after written notice: Once you inform Revenue Group your employer prohibits personal calls, all workplace contact must stop immediately.
• Collect on accounts already paid: Pursuing balances consumers have already settled with the original creditor and can document may violate both the FDCPA and FCRA.
• Exceed seven calls per week: Federal Regulation F caps collector telephone contact at seven calls within seven days on the same debt.

Verify Before Paying Revenue Group

The already-paid debt pattern makes verification especially important here. Before sending any payment, confirm the account is actually outstanding with the original creditor directly.

Send a certified validation letter demanding the original signed agreement, complete itemized billing, the chain of assignment from the original creditor to Revenue Group, and written confirmation of which business name currently holds the account. If you have already paid the original creditor, attach your transaction confirmation to the validation letter and demand written confirmation the account is closed.

How to Check Your Credit Report

Pull all three reports at AnnualCreditReport.com and search for every Revenue Group alias: Revenue Assistance Corporation, Roxbury Acquisition Corporation, SalesLoft, RAC, CDS, and Capital Debt Services. The same debt appearing under multiple names creates separate dispute opportunities for each entry.

If Revenue Group is not currently reporting on any of your three reports, note that carefully before responding to any collection notice.

How Long Can Revenue Group Legally Pursue the Debt?

Ohio allows six years on most written contracts and four years on open accounts. Medical service agreements typically fall under the written contract category and carry the six-year window.

State tax debts referred through the Ohio Attorney General’s office operate under different rules and may not carry a standard civil statute of limitations for administrative collection purposes. The credit reporting window runs separately for seven years from the original date of first delinquency.

Your Options for Resolving the Account

• Confirm bureau reporting status before responding: Revenue Group has admitted it does not always report. Verify what is actually on your reports before paying anything.
• Check with the original creditor first: The already-paid debt pattern makes direct verification with the original creditor a necessary first step on every Revenue Group account.
• Dispute every alias separately: Each business name reporting the same debt is a separate entry you can challenge with each bureau independently.
• Document any third-party disclosures immediately: If Revenue Group has discussed your debt with anyone else, that documentation supports an FDCPA claim worth pursuing.

How to Contact Revenue Group

Handle all communication in writing. Send disputes by certified mail with return receipt requested:

• Address: Revenue Group, 3711 Chester Avenue, Suite 200, Cleveland, OH 44114
• Phone: (877) 646-6988 or (800) 305-5702

Bottom Line

Revenue Group’s own admission that it does not always report to credit bureaus is the first thing to verify before responding to any notice. Paying a debt that is not on your credit reports can trigger reporting that would never have occurred otherwise.

The already-paid debt pattern and the documented third-party disclosure violations give most consumers meaningful grounds to challenge whatever Revenue Group is pursuing. Handle everything through certified mail and confirm bureau reporting status before engaging.

If a Revenue Group account is affecting your credit, the right move depends on which business name is reporting, whether the debt has already been paid, and what the original creditor’s records show.
