Also part of this is " Not enough information to verify debt i.e. amount of debt & name of creditor. '' I received my bi-weekly paystub in XXXX 2016 and noticed a garnishment. I contacted my payroll department and they told me they work with this law firm all the time. I reached out to the law firm named ABENDROTH and RUSSELL LAW FIRM to verify the debt. The law firm told me the debt was with XXXX. I have never had a debt with XXXX. I asked the law firm to provide me with the mailing address and original paperwork for the debt. The law firm was unable to provide this. ABENDROTH and RUSSELL LAW FIRM then stated they would send me what they had. I have attached what was disclosed by the law firm ; it still does not validate the debt as I was never with XXXX. The last credit card I had, besides the low balance XXXX XXXX card that I have now, was over 10 years ago. If this debt is somehow valid, why is it being garnished today? I was never served in this matter to bring up the statute of limitations. If the collection agency knows where I work then I should have been served. Also, I believe that based on the case numbers provided on the information from the law firm that this is an old debt ( not XXXX ) that I 've already been garnished for. I 'm bringing this second piece in as you will see the case numbers. I have looked the case numbers up and I will be providing the court notes on those. 1. Whatever the case may be, I do not owe XXXX and ABENDROTH and RUSSELL LAW FIRM does not have any paperwork showing I do. 2. I need help determining next steps as it appears I 've paid this debt twice - once by the original creditor and also by a 3rd party debt collector. You 'll see the case numbers opened a year apart. Why is this allowed to double garnish someone for the same debt and then re-open the debt in an attempt to garnish for a 3rd time? The court case shows {$0.00} owed. 3. When this went to court, without my knowledge, why did n't the judge look up the debt to actually confirm it? If this step was taken, then the judge would have found that this debt was paid in full. I also want information on how to take this matter further as who knows how many others have been victim to this same scenario.
