In XXXX XXXX I retired. I invested {$200000.00} XXXX XXXX. The investment went sideways due to fraud in late XXXX. In XXXX I was in poor financial condition and started job hunting ; I was hired by the Utah XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. At that time I retained " XXXX XXXX '' to try and clean up my debts without filing bankruptcy and began paying so much a month ( {$780.00} ) to build up an account to pay the debts and legal fees. We had progressed well and settled a portion of the debts I had incurred. In XXXX XXXX I XXXX at work ( XXXX reduced income to XXXX ) and was out until XXXX XXXX. In XXXX XXXX we started hearing from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) through the XXXX Court of Utah and XXXX XXXX XXXX. For every submittal by XXXX, XXXX XXXX countered with their own court submittal. This went back and forth XXXX 5 times until XXXX with several conversations of settlement. XXXX was very abrasive and cursed at the XXXX XXXX people trying to settle the case, he would not settle. Somewhere in near the end of XXXX XXXX ( lied, said I never responded to the court ) ) convinced or bought this judge to put a judgement in on me, without my day in court and any arbitration. Per the contract I was to have my arbitration and a day in court. XXXX told XXXX XXXX that I no longer had a contract because these carpet baggers had bought this debt so they were no longer responsible for the stipulations of the contract. In XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX tried again to settle and offered everything I had in the account ( {$11000.00} ) they said no and cursed them out again and said they want it all. In the same month we submitted paperwork to XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX but XXXX did n't even respond, he ignored XXXX arbitrations attempts. XXXX XXXX I found out they had garnished my pay check at XXXX but also my Utah XXXX tax return was taken. In XXXX the tax return was a {$3200.00} ( a write off because of the XXXX loss ), so they have garnished approximately {$7500.00} in XXXX XXXX they will take approximately {$9000.00} but not State tax return because the oil relief is over and now I owe money this year. In XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was shut down and investigated by Fed 's for taking to much in fees up front and additional fees throughout each settlement process. Now the garnishing continues my money is tied up ( to settle ) at XXXX XXXX and I still have a corrupt lawyer and Judge to contend with day in day out. I had an original amount of {$20000.00}. The oil fraud was turned over to the Utah XXXX and determined they were fraudulent and I filed an additional complaint against XXXX XXXX after finding they had over charged everyone beyond the normal fee structure. The only thing I know is lawyers are created to prey on other peoples misfortunes and make them pay and pay whether or not they say they are on your side. I have all the documentation sent to me and everything I submitted in return. I also have the court records that show no notice of a hearing and no chance to arbitrate a settlement, I 'm discussed.

I had my credit frozen XXXX, in fact there was to be no further loans made on my SSN # due to over $ XXXX in fraudulent charges, credit cards, and loans made in my name of which I did not persue. In fact between XXXX & XXXX my credit score went from XXXX to under XXXX. When I reported the fraud, all major credit reporting agencies locked down my SSN & forced a statement to any person or company looking up my name for a potential loan. I have notified this law firm of these facts, but The company continues to provide me with what appears to be digital signatures on contracts originating from a city I do not/did not live in as evidence to support their claim that I am still going to be held responsible for the debt ( regardless of the fact that I did not initiate any such transaction ). This firm appears to be XXXX bent on collecting this debt from me rather than trying to find the person ( s ) responsible for causing their client to make a loan under false pretenses and identity. Add this all up and this is indeed makes the firm just as culpible for damages inflicted upon me in a counter suit which I do not intend to file/nor do I wish to file at this time but will not hesitate if these attempts to collect on a fraud debt do not stop : for the actions taken by the company who issued a loan in my name without my permission to a person who is not me & whom I have no knowledge of who they are ; the company took no action that I have seen to confirm the legitimacy of this particular applicant and collecting it from me as an illegitimate way to somehow offset their losses for questionable and highly suspicious business practices the collector hired this firm operating on with what appears to be the sole pursuit of collecting funds from a victim. One who has bent over backwards to accommodate ; honestly I just want this never ending story of fraud and questionable collection methods to end. Please stop treating me like a XXXX who deserves this constant barrage of intimidation and threat. Im just a guy trying to pick up the pieces and move on.

I received a letter ( XX/XX/XXXX ) from a collection agency on a credit card judgement filed through the XXXX Judicial District Court of Utah on XX/XX/XXXX, Case no. XXXX for {$4000.00}. I declared Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy through the Federal Bankruptcy Court in XXXX XXXX XXXX, Utah ( Case no. XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX, and the bankruptcy was discharged on XX/XX/XXXX. This is an illegal attempt to collect this debt, as it was discharged in the above referenced bankruptcy, and the statute of limitations ( 5 years ) has passed. The information on the collection agency is as follows : XXXX , XXXX being represented by XXXX XXXX XXXX, ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ), Constantino Law Office, P.C., XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, UT XXXX, ( XXXX ) XXXX or ( XXXX ) XXXX, XXXX. I called XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and left a voicemail message demanding that they cease and desist their collection efforts on this debt because it was discharged in the above referenced bankruptcy and the statute of limitations had well since passed ; and that any attempted to collect on a debt under these conditions is illegal.

XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX are suing me for over {$1800.00} on a loan that was originally {$600.00} that Im not even sure that I took out. I have attempted to settle this debt with him multiple times. The first offer of {$1000.00} he refused saying that he wont take less than 70 % of the original claim which somehow equated out to {$1300.00}. I tried to get him to explain the math on that and was ignored. They told me I had to file a response in court. I have filed responses in court only to get abusive responses back from constantino and his XXXX. I have once again tried to negotiate a settlement with constantino because i simply dont want a judgement against me only to be IGNORED by the law firm. XXXX XXXX and his firm uses the Utah State court system to abuse people into paying him massive settlements on small debts to save their name and credit. Apparently XXXX XXXX is a part owner of the company who bought the debt, XXXX XXXX. This should be criminal in itself!
