About Tenens Company LLC

Tenens Company LLC is a relatively low-profile payment processing company that handles card transactions for the debt-collection agency A.R.M. Solutions. When a consumer chooses to pay a balance that A.R.M. Solutions is collecting using a debit or credit card through the armwebpay.com portal, Tenens Company LLC processes the card transaction and assesses a separate convenience fee, which posts on the cardholder’s statement under the descriptor “TENENS COMPANY LLC.” This fee currently appears as a small fixed amount (often $6.95) and is associated with Merchant Category Code (MCC) 8099, a general medical-services-related category used by card networks for certain allied or miscellaneous service providers.([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/tenens-company-llc-charge-what-it-is-and-how-to-dispute-it/))

Because Tenens Company LLC appears as its own line item with a generic-sounding name, many cardholders do not immediately recognize the charge and may not realize that it is tied to a recent payment made through A.R.M. Solutions. The fee is not applied toward the underlying debt; it is purely a processing or convenience fee charged for the ability to pay that balance via card instead of via ACH transfer or check. The A.R.M. Solutions payment portal explicitly discloses that this convenience fee will show up on the bank or card statement separately under the Tenens Company name and that no portion of it reduces the amount owed on the debt.([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/tenens-company-llc-charge-what-it-is-and-how-to-dispute-it/))

Cardholders who have questions about a Tenens Company LLC charge should first confirm whether they (or another authorized user) recently made a payment to A.R.M. Solutions, then review any email receipts or on-screen confirmations from the armwebpay.com portal around the date of the charge. If more detail is needed, they can call the customer-service phone number that appears next to the descriptor (commonly 208-314-3847) to verify the transaction.([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/tenens-company-llc-charge-what-it-is-and-how-to-dispute-it/)) If the charge remains unfamiliar after those steps, the safest course is to contact the card issuer using the number on the back of the card, ask for more information, and, if appropriate, file a dispute under the issuer’s and federal protections for unauthorized charges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a separate Tenens Company LLC charge for about $6.95 on my card statement?

This charge is a convenience or processing fee added when you pay a balance being collected by A.R.M. Solutions using a debit or credit card through their online payment portal. The fee is processed by Tenens Company LLC and posts as its own line item—typically around $6.95—separate from the main payment to A.R.M. Solutions. It does not reduce your outstanding debt balance.([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/tenens-company-llc-charge-what-it-is-and-how-to-dispute-it/))

Is the Tenens Company LLC charge a payment toward my debt with A.R.M. Solutions?

No. The Tenens Company LLC charge is only a card-processing convenience fee. According to the A.R.M. Solutions payment agreement, none of that fee is credited toward your underlying debt; it is collected by Tenens Company LLC for facilitating the debit or credit card transaction.([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/tenens-company-llc-charge-what-it-is-and-how-to-dispute-it/))

Can I avoid the Tenens Company LLC convenience fee when paying A.R.M. Solutions?

Yes. The A.R.M. Solutions portal explains that the Tenens Company LLC fee applies only to debit and credit card payments. If you instead pay by ACH bank transfer or by mailing a check or money order, the separate Tenens Company LLC fee is not charged.([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/tenens-company-llc-charge-what-it-is-and-how-to-dispute-it/))

Why does the Tenens Company LLC descriptor list MCC 8099 and look unrelated to my debt payment?

Card networks classify this merchant under MCC 8099, a catch-all category for certain medical and health-related services. While that code appears on the statement next to the Tenens Company LLC descriptor, it does not clearly reference A.R.M. Solutions, which is why the charge can look unrelated or confusing even though it is tied to your card payment on their portal.([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/tenens-company-llc-charge-what-it-is-and-how-to-dispute-it/))

How can I confirm that a Tenens Company LLC charge is legitimate?

First, check whether you or another authorized user recently made a payment through the A.R.M. Solutions online portal near the date of the charge, and look for any matching email receipts. Then compare the Tenens Company LLC fee amount to the disclosed convenience fee on the portal. If you still have questions, call the phone number printed next to the descriptor (often 208‑314‑3847) or contact A.R.M. Solutions using the information on your collection notice to confirm the charge details.([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/tenens-company-llc-charge-what-it-is-and-how-to-dispute-it/))

What should I do if I don’t recognize a Tenens Company LLC charge at all?

If nobody on your account recalls making a payment through A.R.M. Solutions and you cannot find any related emails or letters, treat the charge as potentially unauthorized. Contact your card issuer using the number on the back of your card, explain that you don’t recognize a Tenens Company LLC fee, and ask for details or to open a dispute. Under federal law and most issuer policies, you have strong protections against fraudulent or unauthorized credit card charges.([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/tenens-company-llc-charge-what-it-is-and-how-to-dispute-it/))

Can I get a refund of the Tenens Company LLC convenience fee?

Convenience fees charged for using a card are typically nonrefundable once the transaction has been successfully processed, because they compensate the processor for handling that payment method. However, if you believe the fee was charged in error—for example, a duplicate payment or a portal malfunction—contact A.R.M. Solutions or the Tenens Company LLC support number listed on your statement to request a review and potential reversal. Your card issuer may also assist if there was a clear billing error.([legalclarity.org](https://legalclarity.org/tenens-company-llc-charge-what-it-is-and-how-to-dispute-it/))
