On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I received a garnishment notice from Bayfield Financial, LLC via a plain letter mailed to my sister 's address, which is my address listed for the WI DMV, with an attached income worksheet. Upon further investigation of the stated case information through the WI Circuit Court Access website, I learned of a small claims judgement from XX/XX/XXXX that I was previously unaware of. I have no knowledge of a notice to appear ever being issued nor signed for. After nearly 10 tax years, XXXX jobs ( including 6 years of military service ), and multiple address changes I am now being notified of a nearly {$1400.00} judgement that has accrued an additional {$2000.00} of interest. I have researched Bayfield Financial, LLC 's role and determined that they may have purchased my " debt '' back in XX/XX/XXXX and have a history of unlawful practices such as this. My complaint is that they did properly notify me to appear via certified mail nor file a garnishment/tax refund interception for the past 9 years while interest has continually accrued. They also did not include any information about the original debtor so I can try to determine the full scope of the situation.

Bayfield Financial LLC has sent me a subpena on a debt I paid in XX/XX/XXXX when It was discovered that I was not approved to live in the home I now own and have owned since XX/XX/XXXX- Once I showed proof I paid these creditors I was approved to move into my community. It was paid with XXXX cashiers checks totaling somewhere around the negotiated price of {$860.00} from XXXX XXXX bank which no longer exists. XXXX took them over. I contacted XXXX and they have no records and if they did, do not go back that far for cashiers checks. Now after 9 years they are claiming I never paid it and I owe {$8000.00} some dollars. After 9 years I have no more documentation of this - I shred all papers after 3 -5 years depending on what they are. I have never been contacted by this company in the 9 years since and all the sudden a lady shows up at my door XXXX day with a letter addressed to my maiden name and tells me to sign and show up in a makeshift court in a weeks time.
