alleged debt was from a landlord demanding 4 months rent for me vacating the apartment before lease had expired. I was declared XXXX by the new jersey XXXX XXXX when I vacated pursuant to nj XXXX XXXX I had remedy at the time this purported debt occurred. I did not have the XXXX at the time the debt was created to enter into a debt. I also stand by XXXX XXXX XXXX a debtor is insolvent if the sum of the debtors debts is greater than all of the debtors assets at a fair valuation. All this was explained to the debt collector however upon deaf ears. The attorneys response was to borrow the money which I deemed totally inapropriate.I signed the agreement By : authorized representative and secured my rights pursuant to XXXX XXXX until I was able to do my research and due diligence in this matter.It is my contention that the alleged creditor acted unconscionably ( unfairly ) in this matter. Upon speaking with the alleged creditor he said the matter was out of his hands and I should speak with the debt collector. My contention the debt was sold. Its my understanding once a debt is sold it is extinquished. I attempted to speak with the debt collector regarding my financial situation at the time XXXX benefits, food stamp and phone benefit program but to no avail. I also offered my social security number to help verify any assets, or banking records to confirm my present financial condition again no assistance or response.When I agreed to the credit contract I could not afford to repay and the creditor knew this. I have however stood in honor and have paid what im able too under the most extraneous conditions. It is also my contention that the debt collector is a third party interloper on this matter with no lawful standing. Nor are they a bona fide party to any contract in which I am also a party, an agent of a bona fide party to any contractin which I am also a party, a holder in due course of any debt to which I am obligated or has shown evidence of the validity of the original contract, and that their claim is or was fraudulent.They also have not display a license or bond Showing that they are a bona fide agent, registered with the state which they must produce. I also challenge their authority to use my title/trust name in their correspondence. The Markind Law Group made a claim against my estate in which they are not the superior title holder. I am the holder in due course, they do not have a superior claim.When challenged on this aspect of their claim again vagueness and a lack of a coherent, competent response. I also contend that the alleged debt was never assessed under penalty and perjury, or verified under oath thus not a true bill in commerce.I dclare that I do not nor did I ever act as surety for the en legis artificial title. A maxim of law clearly states " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' Dissimilar things ought not be joined.

I was contacted by XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, about a medical bill from a company called XXXX, in the amount of {$3600.00}. I immediately contacted the sender by phone and disputed the claim its entirety, as I had never even heard of the provider, XXXX. I also stated at that time that I had never received any treatment or entered into any contact from the provider. I was told they would send copies of the bill, but nothing ever came. The matter was then sent to a collection attorney, XXXX XXXX of Burton Neil & Associates, and on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I received a letter and again disputed the claim, in its entirety, in writing and requested proof of the claim, as well as any and all copies of agreement and invoices for services rendered. I received no response. Instead I then received a demand letter from attorney, XXXX XXXX of Burton Neil & Associates. After receiving said demand letter, I again disputed the claim in writing, indicating that I never had any agreement nor received any services from their client. I again also requested proof in the form of any agreements, authorizations to provide services, signed agreements to pay or bill, as well as itemized statements of services rendered and records of care. They sent none of the requested information. Instead of providing any proof of their claim whatsoever, the office of Burton Neil & Associates filed a complaint against me in the XXXX Court XXXX, in which they specifically stated that they had an " Agreement '' in said complaint, when in fact, they knew full well that no such " Agreement '' existed. In fact, to this day, they still have never answered any of my several written requests for proof, have never sent me copies of agreements, copies of invoices, nor any itemized statements of services rendered. I have never hired their client to perform any healthcare for me at any time. I am preparing to defend myself in Court against this firm, which I believe is using the Court system as a blatant strong arm collection tactic, when in fact, they know full well that they have no proof of any claim whatsoever. I have found many incidents of this firm doing the very same thing to others, who are laymen when it comes to legal issues. They file unsubstantiated claims in court and then move for a default judgment and attach wages, when the defendants never owed any money to begin with. I will not be another victim of this shady law firm and their abuse of the court system. I respectfully request that this matter be investigated so that this firm is exposed for the constant unlawful collection tactics that they continue to exercise.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a cease of communication letter to Burton Neil & Associates to cease all communication with me. I sent the cease of communication letter via certified mail. The cease of communication letter was sent after I had received a letter in the mail on XX/XX/XXXX in regards to a disputed debt from XX/XX/XXXX, which was from a different creditor, a XXXX XXXX, who I have never heard of and who also never responded to my validation of debt letter I sent to them dated from XX/XX/XXXX, 16 months ago. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a package in the mail stamped XX/XX/XXXX from Burton Neil & Associates. This package was sent after I sent a cease of communication order thar specifically requested not to be contacted by any form of communication. I am a XXXX percent XXXX and at home veteran, with XXXX and XXXX from being stationed at the XXXX during XX/XX/XXXX. My cease of communication request was ignored by their office and they have violated the FDCPA. The package received in the mail on XX/XX/XXXX has caused intentional emotional distress on me. The package has been sent back refused.

In XX/XX/2019, there were 2 payments that were automatically drafted in my bank account of {$100.00} each. I called Burton Neil and Associates to explain the situation and my Blended Case Manager was with me when we both talked to a Mr. XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX stated that there would be a check mailed to me in the amount of {$100.00} and it never came. Then, XXXX XXXX XXXX, mailed me a letter on XX/XX/2019 explaining that a deposit of {$100.00} with the check number XXXX will be deposited into my account when in fact it was a withdraw for {$100.00} with the {$100.00} refund deposit still uncountable for. Now I am very stressed and worried where this {$100.00} is THAT HAS BEEN PROMISED IN WRITING.
