XXXX XXXX at Unifund had called me and he was informed by phone in XX/XX/XXXX that I had severe financial hardship due to a workplace XXXX and I explained that in the past few years I had to sell everything to pay utilities even. I stopped paying all credit cards around the same time after trying to get work and to keep my A+ credit rating. He pressured me for payments. Ignored me. I was threatened with a law suit. I told him to send me a SASE and I'll send it in writing or email it. I had already dealt with all other creditors mostly in a very professional manner. He represented himself as collecting for XXXX XXXX, who I owed {$1700.00} and my final payment was in XX/XX/XXXX. He didn't send the XXXX. Shortly before XXXX XXXX Saturday XX/XX/XXXX, I heard a scary loud beeping from an auto horn outside my house and ran out to the driveway to see what's going on. As I got in view of the driveway gate by the street there was a dark colored, old style, large car there and a tall brown haired guy standing there yelling out my full name a couple of times as soon as I stepped into view. He was about 30 feet away and I asked who he was. He just kept saying my name and since I had been selling a lot of items on XXXX I thought it was someone acting bizarre. He didn't say who he was so I didn't go near the gate and came in to call the cops but when I looked outside again he was gone. The cop said they'll have the info at the police station and I can still get a copy on record of that. He had nothing in his hands so I had no clue who he was. XXXX XXXX phoned me XX/XX/XXXX XXXX. I found that Unifund hired him to give me a summons. I spoke with XXXX XXXX and asked that he mail me a copy because I didn't get it and he sent me a handful of pages but not a complete summons I found out. I was still not well and tried to figure out what to do since they were obviously having fun at Unifund lying and pressuring me. In their summons they included that I worked at a XXXX company that I never heard of and that I had a XXXX XXXX account that I didn't. And, the date the guy came to my house was what they stated was my being served by a process server. I would have taken the docs from that guy and read through them and did what I should to proceed to stop them with facts. I later found that I had a default judgement for that debt. In XXXX I got a letter. I got an attempt to get a lien on my house so I replied to the sherrif and to XXXX XXXX their California attorney at XXXX and XXXX. I also tried to email her but no reply. I scraped up a few dollars to take a bus to XXXX for that court date in XX/XX/XXXX. It's about 60 miles away. I had to sell my custom van in a hurry for much less than its value so could n't drive. They wouldn't accept and op out after I submitted my hardship info to the sheriff. I tried to email them but no response. They wanted a lien on my house that was in pre forclosure, all while knowing that the info on their summons was incorrect and that they were approaching me for Unifund not XXXX XXXX as their rep had verbally claimed. I went and the judge didn't put the lien on the house as they hoped for with their attorney there in court and right away they started filing writs to attack me again. The judge even had the clerk call the XXXX XXXX that they had on file to verify that I had no account there. Unifund filed in XXXX instead of XXXX for writs. They approached me again this time for money, wages etc XXXX XXXX but opped out to go to court when I again explained that my circumstances aren't one that they should be approaching me since I still have financial hardship and I asked that they vacate/close the file permanently. But, they haven't. I even included a pay stub and details of how the income is so low that I can barely make ends meet. It's racking up XXXX a day interest at the sheriff 's in XXXX XXXX CA and nearly {$5000.00} with that and attorney fees and court filing fees. I had written an email to Unifund 's customer service to tell their CEO that they are not being professional and used me to make money for an attorney to show up in XX/XX/XXXX to court when they had the facts. And they knew that there were lies in that summons. It's a form of racketeering maybe too. Since they knew that they can't collect but people are getting paid through the company to pursue me-using me to make money. I even wrote to their Ohio attorney XXXX XXXX and she sent a crappy copy of a partial doc stating it was a default judgement. That's when I wrote to her to drop it due to the circumstances. She could care less if their staff filed court docs with true info or not. And I asked since Covid-19 in an email to Unifund that they should review their legacy default judgements and vacate them in California. In California my debt with XXXX XXXX turned uncollected in XX/XX/XXXX. That was less than 2 months from the date I physically went to court. Yet, with all those lies they still want to wait maybe for a corrupt judge to ok someone like me to have my money taken from me that I barely can do anything with myself. I am adding that I do know that XXXX XXXX is aware of the crisis Covid-19 has caused because I found this link to a blog that mentions her as participating in a Covid-19 and Collection Policies updating webinar. http : XXXX I am asking that they know what they are doing instead of using false information and threatening people like me for nothing. If I was well enough at the time I would have contacted an attorney to sue them for their behavior through FDCPA and would have made {$1000.00}! Even better, I would have kept my A+ credit rating and kept paying off the credit. I love paying bills on time. I just couldn't continue and can't afford to now.

In XXXX I received a letter from the XXXX XXXX XXXX for a debt collection in the amount of {$8200.00}. This was the first time I had any communication from this group. The plaintiff was First Resolution Investment Corporation. I had no knowledge of this debt. No other information was provided. By contacting the XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) I questioned the debt and after many requests was finally sent documents pertaining to this case ( which legally they should have already sent me. ) My name, address, Social Security number, etc were on the cover sheet. The following pages then belonged to a different woman with her information and details of a debt. I immediately contacted the XXXX and informed them of their error and that it was a case of Mistaken Identity ; that this was not my debt and they had somehow managed to obtain my personal information and attach it to another persons debt. The receptionist said she made note of this and I was not advised any further of any actions to be taken. I received an additional letter and when I contacted the office of the XXXX, I was told by a receptionist that the case had been dismissed. Regrettably I did not research my rights and provide a written dispute, nor did I keep these documents as I believed this to be concluded and that the XXXX had realized their mistake. One year later I received another attempt of collection for this debt. Again I informed the XXXX that this was their mistake & I had been told it had been dismissed. I asked them not to contact me again and warned them that I would report them for harassment if they continued to send me letters. In XX/XX/XXXX I went to my bank and found a charge in the amount of {$120.00}. I contacted the bank and informed them that I had not authorized this charge. I was advised to contact the XXXX XXXX County Sheriff. The Sheriff 's Department then advised me to contact an Attorney at the XXXX. I tried relentlessly to talk with an Attorney but was either put through to voicemail, ( which I left multiple messages requesting they call me back and send documents relating to this case ), hung up on several times or placed on hold for an eternity. I called the bank back and they notified me through their Fraud Dept. that due to a legal order, there had been an attempt to try and extract {$8200.00} from my account to satisfy all or part of a debt. They charged me a processing fee ( {$120.00} ). If I had any substantial amount in my account, it would've been taken. I then received a Notice of Levy. The XXXX falsely claim to have sent copies for 'Notice of Renewal of Judgement and Application of Renewal of Judgement. ' to my address. I never received these copies. The 'Proof of Service ' letter was not even dated & only claims to have 'placed such envelope for collection and mailing ' on XX/XX/XXXX. ( Document attached ). I am doubtful and question if these copies were ever actually mailed. I am certain the XXXX did not want me to be able to challenge this Judgement but slyly went to the Courts without my knowledge to obtain a legal order. On XX/XX/XXXX, I was shocked to receive completely new documents. This copies show an attempt at debt collection dating back to XXXX ( for a Credit Card debt concluding in XXXX. ) Again, the XXXX falsely claim that I was served with a copy of the Summons and Complaint. According to their documents, these copies were in fact served to a 'XXXX XXXX . ' ( Docs attached. ) I never received these copies. They were never forwarded to me. The XXXX neglected to send any follow up letters whatsoever, for the collection of this debt. In that same time period I had unfortunately accumulated two other debts that were in debt collection. Ironically, I had held onto all of these notices with the intention of settling them when possible. In XXXX, I was in a position financially to do so. I was able to 'Satisfy in Full ' these outstanding debts. ( Docs attached. ) I also contacted the Credit Agencies in an attempt of good faith, to locate and finalize any additional debts. None had been reported. Why were no letters of collection sent or a report filed for this debt? I believe the XXXX has deliberately and intentionally been holding onto this debt to accrue interest. They have sent me incorrect documents ( leading me to believe I was the victim of Identity theft and filing a complaint with the FTC ) and neglected to inform me, by law, of my rights. They have failed to provide me with documentation that legally they were obligated to do and have been incredibly difficult and extremely unprofessional to deal with. It is highly questionable to me the business practice of the XXXX. That I have never received the most important and relevant copies of documents that would've enabled me to settle this debt eleven years ago is troubling. I am very frustrated by the incompetence and negligence of the XXXX. I would've gladly made arrangements to settle this debt in XXXX if I had the relevant information to do so. Instead there was an attempt to gouge my bank account for over {$8200.00}. The judgement from XX/XX/XXXX was a total of {$4000.00}. I am now a XXXX with XXXX children. My spouse supports himself and XXXX dependents. I have read warnings about this Collection Agency in regards to their tactics and dishonesty when dealing with payments made to debts. For this reason ( in addition to my horrible experience thus far with the XXXX ), I am very hesitant to continue dealing with them at all.

Filed a complaint about these companies XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , UNIFUND CCR LLC PARTNERS and XXXX XXXX XXXX . In the response these companies continued to fabricate. This is from an excerpt in from a CFPB article " Not only did XXXX fail to forward the payments made to the collection agencies unifund ccr partners and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX XXXX XXXX but it had also sold some debts with inflated interest rates. In some cases, the rates given to collection agencies were as high as 29 % when in reality they were 0 %. " It also used law firms that altered court documents, CFPB Director XXXX XXXX said in a statement. To this day Unifund ccr partners using the law firm XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX used a legal services company that has a history or forging, providing sewer summons service XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX at the time XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , CA XXXX ( Corporate ). produced a fraudulent service in this complaint. I never received the summons they lied on the description and this is how they caused a defaulted judgement and court case continued to perpetrate fraud on the courts and harassment. I received the responses from XXXX and unifund ccr partner through XXXX XXXX XXXX through the CFPB on XX/XX/XXXX in whereas even in XX/XX/XXXX these companies sent 2 responses lying about the amount the charged off account was at the the time of sale XXXX states " At the time the account was sold, the balance was {$9300.00} '' XXXX XXXX XXXX . Then unifund ccr partner states-Please note THIS IS SAME TRANACTION " The balance at the time of purc hase was XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX . So they have confrimed in written documents they both are still participating in fraud and illegal debt collection practices XXXX sent inaccurate information to buyers when it sold off credit card debt and it also used law firms that altered court documents, said CFPB Director XXXX XXXX . they havent had correct record and fabricated amounts on these separate responses also. Should n't both these companies be out of business for continual fraud and deceptive practices of fraud " junk debt collection ''. One company saying and stating it was Excerpt from the source of CFPB and article by the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX sent inaccurate information to buyers when it sold off credit card debt and it also used law firms that altered court documents, said CFPB Director XXXX XXXX . Todays action provides redress to consumers who were victimized by slipshod practices as part of our ongoing work to fight abuses in the debt collection market. In the other action, the bureau ordered XXXX to refund consumers {$11.00} million over the banks use of law firms that allegedly altered affidavits filed in debt collection lawsuits. The action also names XXXX XXXX affiliates, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX , and the XXXX debt collection law firms, which are based in New York and New Jersey. They are still using these law firms to perpetuate this fraud because I have this case that is on going as of date XX/XX/XXXX and the y meaning uni-fund ccr partners, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , through XXXX XXXX XXXX on the XXXX XXXX in California. I am seeking the CFPB investigates this law firm and that this law firm XXXX XXXX XXXX receives sanctions for fraud on the court and unifund ccr partners be fined and face injunction for trying to collect on fraudulent debt. I am asking that the CFPB actually forwards this complaint to the Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC actually forwards to the CFPB for complaint sent fabricated document of this stature. I have sent letters to validate the amounts they havent. I sent documents on statue of limitation because they are trying to sue me on credit card debt that 4 times over the California SOL where the dates of last payment was changed in violation of the FDCPA and California Statues of Limitations, I sent cease and desist letters and they are continuing to harass me with lawsuit court dates. I received a default judgment they used this legal company XXXX XXXX XXXX to lie they never served me so it can go into default judgement. They lied on the not proof of summons the description of the citizen not served as XXXX '' tall he is XXXX ''. i had to put several sleepless hours of work to dispute this case. Suffered XXXX XXXX went to the doctor because I have XXXX XXXX and had to go back to hospital one night because of this harassment. I hope you CFPB help fight for the unknowing that have been abused and committed suicide while most of the junk debt collectors knew these individuals did not owe these debts and they continued to be abuse by these practices these companies are continuing these illegal and severely abusive tactics in XX/XX/XXXX wit h no regard to the law or fines. I am submitting this complaint that the CFPB actually forwards this complaint to the Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission and more legal action is taken against these companies on the west coast in California also.

In XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX bought a dormant Judgment that had expired and was no longer active. They did not revive the judgment. However, they illegally issued a writ of execution to the XXXX County Constable in XX/XX/XXXX to be served and executed. They also issued documents identifying non exempt properties in XXXX county ( the judgment was in XXXX County, Texas ) that were not titled in the same name as the writ of execution. After numerous conversations with XXXX XXXX XXXX I confronted them and asked if the judgment was dormant and also confronted them about the amount of debt that they claimed I owed with interest, etc. The amount of debt had doubled according to their calculations in just 5 months and as represented by the previous owner of the judgment ( that went dormant ). They denied that it was dormant. They then posted on the doors of one of the properties, locked out a commercial tenant that had a 5 year lease, and also ran ads showing that they had levied on the property, and that there was an active judgment against me and that the property would be sold. They then collected money and were supposed to release the debt from the court, etc. INSTEAD, they sent a letter to the XXXX County Clerks office and lied and said that the writ of execution had expired ( and the date they cited was a date days before they locked out the tenant and ran ads for 3 weeks and collected funds ), and that they had NOT identified any properties as non exempt, and that they had not taken any levy action or collected any funds. They asked that the writ of execution be unexecuted and they sent the executed and signed writ back to the county clerk. The clerk did as they requested. The debt is still shown as open in the court records of the county clerks office. THAT IS FRAUD. These folks have walked all over the Fair Debt Collections Practice and act and they refuse to answer any complaints from the Attorney General, Federal Trade Commission, or previous 2 complaints filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I am told that before this complaint they had 8 complaints in the last two years and they had failed to answer any of them but one from XX/XX/XXXX. I am requesting that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX return all my funds and cancel out the court case and any claims for any debt due to the fraudulent and liable actions that they have taken. I should also note that the legal counsel listed on their site is XXXX XXXX who is the legal counsel for XXXX XXXX XXXX which is a company that disputes tax values and tax appraisal or collections with the counties. The email addresses of each one of the representatives working for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX have email addresses for XXXX instead contacts for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I did attempt to contact XXXX XXXX and she is out of the office until next week. Her assistant did confirm that they all work with XXXX as an entity that is connected to that business. XXXX XXXX is also a prior paralegal. In addition, the website for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX showed that they had certifications with XXXX ( previously XXXX ) and were certified with them ( they have a code of ethics and compliance requirements that they respond to any and all consumer complaints or concerns immediately ... ..something that they surely do not do. And XXXX, which also requires high ethics and performance for any credit collection companies in the industry that are associated with them - and they require strict compliance in responding to consumer complaints, CFPB complaints, etc. That is not something that these folks do at all. AND Finally, this company claimed that they were members of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I talked to the CEO and they were NOT members. He went directly to the website to verify and he then contacted National Judgment Recovery and had them remove him from the site. These folks illegally represented that they had an active judgment, they took illegal and threatening actions, illegally seized property, illegally locked out a tenant which resulted in the loss of a tenant and rental income of {$210000.00} for the duration of the remainder of the lease, falsely advertised the property for sale and disclosed to the world false legal claim to the right to auction the property off, denied that the judgment was dormant, doubled the amount of the debt claim, and then FRAUDULENTLY CLAIMED TO HAVE DONE NONE OF THOSE THINGS AND ASKED FOR THE ILLEGAL WRIT TO BE UNEXECUTED TO TRY TO COVER UP THEIR ACTIONS.

During the years of XXXX XXXX sold many charged of accounts with already inflated puffed misrepresented fraudulent amounts as and with the principle my account happened to be XXXX of those accounts it was a little over {$3000.00} XXXX inflated it to over {$6000.00} in a little amount of time. The CFPB contends that, If you had a XXXX credit card between XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX raised the interest rate on your credit card due to a delinquent payment or default on your credit card you may be included in the XXXX Credit Card Class Action Lawsuit Settlement. Also XXXX customers to get refunds, debt forgiveness under settlements over allegedly illegal debt collections XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, XXXX overstated the interest rates on nearly XXXX card accounts that it sold off to XXXX different debt buyers. Inflation of the principle of the debt by XXXX illegal and very aggressive debt collection practices purchasing inflated debt without correction also my brother harassing and using his address and as a false person in fradulaent proof of service The second CFPB action is an order to comply with a XXXX state court order to refund money collected from consumers due to the alleged altering of affidavits, as well as the court 's order to stop collecting an additional {$34.00} XXXX in debts. CFPB is ordering the XXXX debt collection law firms involved in the case to pay a total of {$80000.00} in penalties to the bureau 's Civil Penalty Fund. Im in XXXX and though the CFPB as well as court 's order XXXX and debt collector to stop collecting an additional {$34.00} XXXX in debts. Unifund CCR Partners, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX has breaking the willfully has done this to me I am still being affected by these practices falsifying documents, altering documents altering affidavits documents filing false. Unifund CCR Partners purchased these inflated debts from XXXX XXXX or XXXX of the XXXX debt collectors XXXX sold these already altered and falsified document with already inflated principle to UNIFUND CCR Partners and UNIFUND CCR LLC Partners continued to use these inflated amounts as the basis in filing lawsuits with these false and inflated amounts as a basis on top trying to collect these debts and also lawyer fees and accurals that were totally wrong and to make matters worst continuing after being reminded that UNIFUND and there lawyers are breaking the law tricking courts and XXXX department filed wrongful writ of execution for bank levy all of this while using false altered documents false affidavits possibly robosigned false principle amounts that were used with false affidavits. Unifund CCR LLC, XXXX XXXX XXXX are sure to fail chain of title, no contract with the signature between the debt collector and I. They have n't proved this. Unifund must prove that : ( 1 ) it has the right to sue you ; ( 2 ) that debt is yours ; and ( 3 ) you owe the amount they sued you for. They have n't and are still trying to collect debt on this. They continue to willfully break the law even after being sued in class action lawsuits, fines and they continue. It is so unreal these guys are still in business. They know that they are wrong and they still try to get away with any and everything that they can. I am seeking they stop pursuing me. The thing that makes it easy for UNIFUND CCR LLC, XXXX XXXX XXXX to get prosecuted again is the track record. I am seeking that UNIFUND CCR LLC has there debt collecting bond revoked since they continue to disobey the law time and time again so willfully, For filing so many false and altering court filings XXXX XXXX group requires being barred and there Bar number revoked. I warned them through a cease and desist letter informing them that they are breaking the law by continuing to try to collect so instead of doing what is right by. ( THERE IS MORE TO THIS )

See : XXXX Clarification : The previous response from Unifund seemed to have thought I was accusing Mrs/Ms. XXXX 's office of wrongdoing by releasing my address information to the Constable. This is untrue, I simply said that it was obviously incorrect ( my address on file ) if the gentlemen, the original creditor, and Unifund all said the correct address, minus the apartment number which would result in mail not being received. - I just wanted to make sure we understood this, because there was nothing done wrong by the lawyer and her office. -- -- -- -- -- Now, I'd like to bring your attention to the Original Creditor - " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' hereinafter " XXXX '' and the letter received via postal service in response to XXXX. In paragraph two, the letter states : " XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX is prohibited from reselling or transferring your account to an entity other than XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. '' I would also call to attention the chain of custody documents sent to me, as well as the referenced fraud form which was never sent. The chain of custody documents show a 'TRANSFER OF DEBT '' from XXXX XXXX to XXXX who on the same day transferred this debt once again to it's other branch. Although the letter mentions the " affiliation '' of XXXX XXXX XXXX, according to FDCPA ( Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ) - an affiliate must share the same entity or organization. As seen by a simple search, one company is an XXXX, one is not. This clearly shows that they are not the same organization, and may be a DBA or XXXX, but mot certainly are not part of the parent company who XXXX transferred the debt to, and swore that such debt would stay in the possession of said company ONLY without transfer. The XXXX is seperate, the address is seperate. I never received the promised " fraud document '' to report the fraud. XXXX XXXX actually told me in the same letter to contact XXXX XXXX directly. Come to find out, they said to contact XXXX XXXX. Therefore, clearly they are not the same entity, and as said by the XXXX XXXX who responded : " XXXX XXXX and UCCRP are affiliates. '' Therefore, FDCPA clearly stipulates that an affiliate is not " the same entity '' - and therefore, my debt was transferred outside the FIRST agreement from XXXX and XXXX XXXX. This precedence is never followed by a further disclaimer that my rights of " no transfer or reselling of debt to any other company '' was terminated : which it could not do legally. Thank you for your prompt response, your professionalism, and your candidness in handling this matter. I have been very pleased with all of the documentation received, and with the exception of the misunderstanding regarding the address statement to Mrs/Ms XXXX, as well as my lack of receiving a document to report fraud, I am extremely pleased to know this is how seriously and honestly you folks report debt collection. Given my financial situation, I really appreciate the help and would like to handle this without having to file Chapter in my state. After a thorough evaluation of the " claimed debt '' I have come to the conclusion that only 8 of the more than 150 charges are even plausible given my location and job at the time. ( IE : Charges 27 miles away while at work. ) I would like to point out the legal issue regarding the transfer of the debt without consideration of the ORIGINAL agreement that was furnished by XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) and the later transfer of the same debt to two entities, one of which is not a " agent by association '' aka a legal term for an assumed affiliation by similar name.

Hello, My name is XXXX XXXX and I am reaching out to CFPB for assistance with stopping UNIFUND CCR PARTNERS from continuing to collect through it's partner XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX monies that are NOT OWED in the form of a Court Judgement from the State Court of XXXX County ( Judgement Case NO. XXXX ). I am including the AFFIDAVIT OF CONTINUING GARNISHMENT paperwork I was able to retrieve from the offices of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX only AFTER my wages were garnished XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$500.00}, again on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$390.00} and yet again on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$470.00} before I was able to make a payment arrangement with XXXX XXXX XXXX on behalf of it's client Unifund CCR partners to make monthly payments that wouldn't be so dehabilitating to me and my family. Apparently, at some point UNIFUND had been garnishing a teeny residual payment fund that I only collected every 3 months or so from a one line role I had on a show called " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' sometime in the XXXX XXXX. These checks were sparatic and ranged from {$.00} - MAYBE {$15.00}. I have NO idea which address they could have even used to MAKE SURE I NEVER saw a summon or had the opportunity to answer. The paperwork finally given to me was under the name XXXX XXXX ( my maiden name ) I only had one credit card at the age of XXXX which my Grandfather sent to me when my last name was XXXX. He worked most of his life and retired from XXXX XXXX. It was a XXXX Mastercard which he paid off and closed before his passing. I was married in XX/XX/XXXX and my last name has been XXXX ever since!!! I have never had a XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Visa card. This is obviously a FRADULENT CLAIM and I feel extremely violated and targeted by UNIFUND 's ability to retreieve my personal infomation after 22 YEARS ( the last time my last name was Branch ) which must have been passed from one non-credible " law firm '' to the next before finally landing with UNIFUND, go to Court WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE, WIN a Judgement and then invade my privacy at my place of employment and STEAL the wadges that I worked SOOOOO hard for!!! As UNIFUND nor any " Law Firm '' ever sought to report this alleged deliquent account to any Credible Credit Bearu, they have NEVER come up on any of my credit reports for me to investigate and dispute. I did not know what to do as they had a Court order which I did not believe I could fight and so ... I paid them. I will not be their victim any more. My husband and I are hard working, honest people trying to purchase a home and continue to provide for our children. It is XXXX the legnths that people will go to defraud innocent people. I inquired SEVERAL times for XXXX XXXX XXXX to give me the information of the original creditor making these claims. The only information they could offer was XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. Of course they had no information as it had been 20+ years not to mention, the account NEVER existed in the first place. Aside from the {$1300.00} garnished from my wages, I have made an additional {$2700.00} in monthly payments to XXXX XXXX XXXX. UNIFUND is COMPLETELY wrong for extorting this now {$4000.00} alleged debt from me that I NEVER made and I want every cent of my money BACK!!!! I wish I knew how to begin to fight back sooner. Better late than never.

I mailed a letter to UniFund asking them why they put this account of my credit report AFTER I contacted them and started making payments. I mailed a letter and sent copies of my check stubs to let them know how much I could pay a month. I started making those payments. Two or more months later, they put the account on my credit reports. What reputable company would do that to a person who is making payments? I can see if I ignored them and failed to pay. I understand that they are in the business of destroying peoples ' credit, but come on, I was paying this account back. First, I asked them to validate and show how the balance got to be so high. They sent itemized statements showing the balance increase each month. I then sent copies of check stubs and began making payments. At a time like this when people are already having hard times, why would they put that on my credit report when I was making the monthly payment that I told them I could make?????? I stopped making payments on this account. I feel now that I have no interest in repaying anything. The damage has been done, so if they don't care to do what's ethical, neither do I. I wanted to do the right thing and make payment arrangements and make my monthly payments so that this account would NOT appear on my credit report. Guess what? UniFund put it on my credit report anyway, despite me doing the right thing. They responded to my letter below saying that the account was validated. I did not ask for validation again. I asked why would you put this on my credit reports if I am making a good faith effort every month to repay what is owed!!!!! They didn't even try to offer a settlement for this account. UniFund is a big joke and a disgrace to all the collection agencies who treat people in an ethical way! Below this line is a copy of the letter that I sent. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...... In reference to account # XXXX, I stopped making payments on this account because you placed it on my credit report. I contacted you to advise you of what my monthly finances were and how much I could pay every month. I then began making my monthly payment. WHY WOULD YOU PUT THIS ON MY CREDIT REPORT AFTER I CONTACTED YOU ABOUT MY FINANCES AND STARTED TO MAKE MY MONTHLY PAYMENTS?????? Creditors usually dont put an account on someones credit report if they are trying to repay the debt. They usually place accounts on credit reports when someone doesnt respond or doesnt attempt to make any payments. Since this item has been placed on my credit report, there is no desire to make any future payments. My credit is ruined again, so I really dont care at this point. I think what you did was wrong. If the item is removed from my credit report, I will resume making payments. If not, the account will remain on my credit report with no future payments. The choice is yours. I did my part in reaching out and attempting to repay, even if it was a small amount. Now do your part and remove this account from all credit reports so that I can resume making payments. Thanks for your time. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ---

XXXX/XXXX/14 - Received a collection letter from XXXX for a charged off XXXX Credit Card. I worked out payment arrangements of {$25.00} every month for XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX of 2014. Also worked out payment settlement agreement with XXXX of {$2700.00} to be paid in XXXX of 2014 ( gave bank account information for auto drafts of the payments ). XXXX did not honor agreement and sold debt without taking an auto drafts, I called to verify with XXXX where debt went and they could not tell me. I waited to hear something from a new credit collection agency. I did not receive any letters or notifications until I finally received a summons to appear in court on XXXX at XXXX to go to court on XXXX. Unifund CCR LLC based out of Ohio was suing me for the debt that I had originally worked out a settlement agreement with XXXX for {$8100.00} which is a incorrect balance. Disputed the validity of the debit with Unifund via e-mail, in court on XXXX, and via certified letters sent to Unifund and their attorney XXXX based out of XXXX XXXX, MO. Attempted to communicate with Unifund on XXXX via telephone prior to the XXXX court date and they would not discuss the collection. On XXXX, called XXXX and tried to work out the debt however they would not agree to the previous settlement agreement and had to talk to Unifund. I sent certified letters requesting proof of ownership, a valid agreement with my signature from the original creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX Credit Card Company XXXX and an itemized explanation of how they came to the balance. XXXX certified letter was sent on XXXX to Unifund, another certified letter was sent on XXXX to XXXX sent a XXXX request to XXXX on XXXX along with discovery requested by the attorney 's office. At the hearing on XXXX, Attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX provided 2 year 's worth of copies of charges on the XXXX Card but did not provide the proof of ownership nor did they provide a valid agreement with my signature on it. I was given a quick court date after being summoned. I was not allowed to communicate with Unifund and XXXX would not discuss unless I called through a call center and stated that I was not recording the conversation nor was a 3rd party listening but stated that they would be recording the conversation. XXXX call center is using " bullying '' tactics to scare people when they ask up front if you are recording the conversation or if a XXXX party is listening before they will discuss the account with you however, they are allowed to record the conversation on their end. Poor communication on both sides from XXXX and Unifund. Unifund nor did XXXX provide the proof of ownership or my valid signature as requested by certified mail within the XXXX days as requested. I also received signed mail receipts from both Unifund and XXXX showing they received all letters referenced above. I would like to also state that this collection through Unifund nor does this original charged-off XXXX credit card appear on any of my credit reports, I checked all XXXX XXXX

I XXXX XXXX hereby submits a complaint against one of the largest national banks in America, XXXX , XXXX . I am just a middle class single mother of XXXX, trying to make a living. There have been times in my life when I struggled financially. Over ten years ago, I defaulted on a XXXX account, and over the years the collection aspects were negated and the credit charge off was even removed from my credit reports, as the 7-year timeline to maintain it had elapsed. Now XXXX has lowered itself to submit back-end debt service to debt buyers, even after debts are proved to be non-collectible. The credit trade line was officially charged off so long ago that XXXX deleted the account off of my credit reports. So now XXXX , XXXX . is selling off charged-off debts. This is a popular move since the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX decision in the U.S. Supreme Court of XXXX ( Decision Attached ). However, XXXX XXXX. is participation in a Ponzi- Scheme approach to not only obtain the taxable write-offs on defaulted debts, but to also double-dip into potentially draining what little capital could remain from a common American citizen. Here is how the scam works : XXXX XXXX. ASSIGNS DEFAUTED DEBT TO XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX XX/XX/XXXX BILL OF SALE AND ASSIGNMENT BY ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX TRANSFERS OWNERSHIP THE VERY SAME DAY BY XXXX XXXX, XXXX. TO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ASSIGNS DEBT TO XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ON XX/XX/XXXX BY XXXX XXXX, XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ASSIGNS DEBT TO XXXX XXXX, XXXX XX/XX/XXXX BY XXXX XXXX, INVENTORY MANAGER XXXX XXXX. should look into federal case decisions U.S. v. XXXX XXXX XXXX before it ever gets involved in selling off debts to what appears to be a Ponzi-Scheme on receivables, debts that can no longer be enforced, and selling to companies without proof of proper bonding and licensing to enforce defaulted debts in the state of California. This action is criminal in nature. The continuous transfers are a form of the title cleansing practices of real estate scammers, a practice quashed by actions with the U.S. Department of Justice. XXXX is proving that they will step to as low as a level as a national bank can go. Their actions are complicit within a criminal process to destroy average American consumers, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, along with the Federal Trade Commission, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the banking department of the state of California, in addition to the Office of Attorney General, state of California will be involved in this complaint. Action must be taken to cease these types of activities by XXXX , XXXX . and the affiliated companies stating that they have obtained uncollectible debts.

On XX/XX/XXXX Unifund CCR, L.L.C. ( a/k/a Unifund ) contacted me and confirmed that their communication was from a debt collector, and included billing statements from XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. Unifund was attempting to collect a purported {$9900.00} debt owed to Distressed Asset Portfolio III, L.L.C. who purchased the account from XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. ( i.e., XXXX XXXX XXXX ). On XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with XXXX XXXX in Unifunds XXXX Call Center and explained that on XX/XX/XXXX I filed an Affidavit of Identity Theft, pursuant to 623 ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act [ 15 U.S.C. 61681s-2 ], with XXXX Customer Fraud Protection. On XX/XX/XXXX and again on XX/XX/XXXX I wrote Unifund requesting validation that I was the responsible party for the debt to XXXX XXXX Services ( a/k/a XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and, in turn, to Distressed Asset Portfolio III, L.L.C., and/or the debt actually belonged to me. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Ms. XXXX XXXX XXXX, Unifunds Legal Counsel. The letter merely replicated the same material that Unifund sent on XX/XX/XXXX and failed to produce any contract with my signature but continued demanding payment of {$9900.00} to Distressed Asset Portfolio III, L.L.C. that was being collected by Unifund. These repeated demands for an unknown, unvalidated, debt coupled with someone who was purportedly acting as Unifunds attorney was beginning to appear as an extortion rather than a bill collection for a fair debt that was owed. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from Unifunds attorney ( i.e., Mr. XXXX XXXX XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. of XXXX, KY ). Mr. XXXX cited several Federal Court Cases all leading to a continued claim for a {$9900.00} debt that I supposedly owed to Unifund. Among the citations Mr. XXXX wrote included : verification of a debt involves nothing more than the debt collector is claiming as owed. If verification only needed to be what a debt collector claims is owed, it would disregard validating if the debtor is the person responsible for the debt versus merely identifying anyone and verify billing statements were sent ( i.e., guilt by accusation ). Validating that I was the person responsible for the debt was the issue ; that didnt occur in deference to demanding I pay {$9900.00} to Distressed Asset Portfolio. On XX/XX/XXXX Mr. XXXX, representing Unifunds position, sent an e-Mail, where the Subject line read XXXX XXXX XXXX, stating : Mr. XXXX I consider our correspondence on the matters you raised in your several letters and my response letter to be over. However, his phrase was over was undefined, unexplained and/or not specific as to what matter was over.

This complaint is in response to the company 's previous misinformation and answer to my complaint # XXXX. UNIFUND misrepresented that the judgment they owned was active. IT WAS a DORMANT JUDGMENT and they misrepresented that and sold it to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. l. Unifund attempted to collection on a dormant judgment. The writ was returned to them from the constable as not identifying any non exempt property. However, the writ was also issued outside the 10 year time frame allowed for tolling. Unifund has attempted to claim that the writ was issued before the 10 year time frame by using a bogus preparation of writ date. Texas Law clearly rules that mere preparation of a writ does not constitute issuance. The writ is NOT legally issued until it is date stamped and signed for by the constable/sheriff. THE judgment became dormant prior to the XX/XX/XXXX date that the constable signed the writ. 2. Unifund sold this judgment on XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and claimed that the judgment was ACTIVE!!!!! They misrepresented the facts and received money or benefits as a result of it and by warranting that the judgment was not dormant. 3. In fact they continued to claim that the judgment was active into the complaint cited above. I am attaching the course taught at the Texas State Bar for accreditation and specialization for consumer collections. Page 5 and 6, IIIA.c. ( l ) states that : The law requires that when an execution has been placed in the hands of a sheriff, he shall note upon it the hour and the day received, and shall, within the time prescribed by the execution, make due return of what he has done, in compliance with the requirements of the writ.... In order to be a compliance with the statute the writ must be placed in the hands of the officer whose duty it is to execute it ; and until this is done there has been no sufficient compliance with the law 4. Additionally, once the judgment becomes dormant the following applies : If a writ of execution is not issued within 10 years after the rendition of a judgment of a court of record or a justice court, the judgment is dormant and execution may not be issued on the judgment unless it is revived. 5. UNIFUND and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX are in the debt collection business and have an obligation to be mindful of the laws. They have purposefully breeched the fair debt collections laws and misrepresented the facts and they continue to do so even today in fraudulently citing rules on the lawful tolling rules for maintaining an active judgment. THEY DID NOT act within the legal perimeters of the laws and misrepresented those facts.

On XX/XX/2019 I received notice from my employer that my wages were to be garnished for the amount of {$1400.00}. With case number XXXX XXXX. The amount was garnished and I thought that everything was done. On XX/XX/XXXX I receive another letter from my employer for the garnishment of my wages for the amount of {$1500.00} for the same case number. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2019 at XXXX XXXX and after giving my name address and case information I was transferred to Representative XXXX XXXX ( direct line number XXXX ). I asked him about the situation and he told me that they had not received the funds from my employer and until they get a check the situation would not change. He said I could pay the {$1500.00} in certified funds now and they could not collect more than what they are owed. I asked him what address there were sending their correspondence to and he told me and old address from 8 plus years ago. I gave him current address which he entered into the system. I asked him what address was on the court documents he responded with my my current address I asked him again which address was used and he said my current address. I said he was lying and asked to speak to a manager. I was transferred to Collections Manager XXXX XXXX ( direct line XXXX ) I told him about the agent and how he lied to me. I asked him why the same debt was being collected twice. I was told that my employer had not paid the garnished amount to XXXX XXXX XXXX. He told me to contact my employer and he would contact his admin. I called my employer and was told they use a third party company XXXX for wage garnishment. I called XXXX and asked why the debt was not paid. I was told they could not release the funds to XXXX XXXX XXXX until they received a " Order to Remit Funds '' form. I was also told they could not do anything about the second Wage garnishment request until they received a " Wage Garnishment Release '' form. I called XXXX XXXX and informed him of the information I received from XXXX. He said he would talk to his admin and see what happened. I will be calling again tomorrow. My concerns are they are either incompetent in requesting funds or are trying to allow the interest to accrue so they can collect more money. This is a loophole that puts me and others at great risk. If they are cheating the system by refusing to accept the payment until more interest accrues and resubmitting garnishments they could be cheating people out of thousands of dollars. And if it is incompetence they should be responsible for the cost of it.

On XX/XX/XXXX, one of my elderly relatives located in a different city called me over to their house to inform me that a sheriff arrived at their front door with papers for a lawsuit pertaining to me. Immediately, my elderly relative, who answered the door, came under distress seeing a sheriff knocking on their door. The sheriff served them papers that were related to me. The organization behind the lawsuit was UNIFUND. UNIFUND sent XXXX XXXX XXXX my incorrect information and are threatening me with a lawsuit. First off, UNIFUND does not have my accurate information and nor can they prove the credit card debit of XXXX card is still currently an outstanding debt for me. My credit report shows XXXX who sold my account to XXXX XXXX is no longer open and has been charged off as a bad debt. Now UNIFUND and XXXX XXXX XXXX and their entire basis for a lawsuit is based upon a statement from XXXX. They have no current proof or documentation from XXXX ( My original creditor ) informing them to collect this debt on their behalf. Furthermore, the information that UNIFUND posses about me is incorrect which is why the papers for the lawsuit were served at the wrong house! I have been living at my address for the past 22 years, it makes no sense for the papers to go to the wrong house. The address listed on the served papers is wrong, therefore, I am attaching the first page of the papers that were received to the wrong address. My reputation and financial information were completely violated. To make matters worse, when I contacted UNIFUND, asking an employee whos name is XXXX, to prove to me this debt belongs to me or prove to me that XXXX has authorized them to collect this debt on their behalf he hung up. He hung up because he had no information proving this entire debt belongs to me. Before he hung up the phone call, I asked him to provide his ID # or extension and to let me speak to a manager, but instead he hung up. All the information UNIFUND has pertaining to me is inaccurate as well as this debt. XXXX has written off my account and did not reach out to me to pay them any outstanding amount. UNIFUND who is working alongside with XXXX XXXX Firm are trying to pin this illegitimate debt to my name and are threatening to bring me to court. They have also listed my employers information on the court papers as a means of harassment. I do not want UNIFUND or XXXX XXXX Firm to contact my employer with this false and illegitimate debt. This is a form of harassment and a misuse of my personal information.

Hi and how are you doing during Covid19? I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

On XX/XX/2018, Unifund CCR LLC filed a lawsuit against me. In court Unifund failed to serve me many important documents, misinformed the court many times ( told the court that " I '' was " confused '' during this year long lawsuit and either intentionally confused the court and myself or the attorney did not look at documents and records being submitted. Unifund 's counsel argued telling the court that I was using the court order to compel arbitration to argue FDCPA violations on another account owned by Unifund, which was not true. In arbitration with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( AAA ) ... I file two demand for arbitration cases with XXXX. One was a court ordered case and the other case included an account that was never in court. The court ordered XXXX case was closed by XXXX due to Unifund failing to pay their filing fee. Unifund 's counsel commingled the two credit card accounts into the XXXX case that contained the credit card account that was never in court. Their answer to my demand for arbitration was never served to me despite asking multiple times asking about it. When the case manager emailed me what Unifund submitted, I immediately filed objections because Unifund had commingled two different account numbers in their answer. I even listed which exhibits were for each account. It was VERY clear they were commingled considering there were documents on a $ XXXX credit card and a $ XXXX credit card with different credit card account numbers. We had our initial conference hearing in XXXX with the arbitrator. Unifund 's counsel either flat out lied to the arbitrator to try to confuse the parties or Unifund 's counsel did not take the time to read my objections that were served to her that spelled out which exhibits were for which credit card. Unifund 's counsel kept telling the arbitrator that I was lying and that ALL the documents were in reference to one account number. We got nothing accomplished at the hearing because Unifund 's counsel just kept calling me a liar and wouldn't give me time to talk. Needless to say, the arbitrator ending up making an award for both accounts because Unifund 's counsel kept submitting the documents for both. I never had a chance to even defend myself in the $ XXXX lawsuit because Unifund 's counsel either didn't look at the documents or was intentionally trying to confuse myself, the arbitrator and the court. I would expect more from an attorney.

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from debt collector Unifund CCR to inform me that they are servicing an account that is owned by Distressed Asset Portfolio III, LLC with a balance of {$9900.00}. The letter states that unless I notify their office within 30 days of receipt of this letter that I dispute the validity of this debt they will assume this debt is valid. The letter does not state that I owe this debt nor does it state that I am the owner of this debt. I sent a response letter to Unifund CCR via certified U.S. Postal Services on XX/XX/XXXX. In the response letter I formal dispute their claim and I requested that Unifund CCR provide me with validation, that is competent evidence bearing my signature, showing that I have some contractual obligation to pay them or Distressed Asset Portfolio. I have not received a response to my request. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX stating that Unifund CCR placed this account with them for collection. I was given another 30 days to dispute the claim. So, I sent XXXX XXXX XXXX a U.S. Postal Service certified letter on XX/XX/XXXX requesting validation of their claims. I have not received a response to my request. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX stating that this account has been placed with them for collection by Distressed Asset Portfolio.So, I sent XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX a U.S. Postal Service certified letter on XX/XX/XXXX requesting validation of their claims. I have not received a response to my request. I sent another letter to Unifund CCR on XX/XX/XXXX as a third attempt requesting validation of all accounts of their claim. No response received. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a court Petition from the State of Texas saying I am being sued by Unifund CCR for breach of contract in the amount of {$9900.00} plus attorney fees of {$3300.00}. In each letter I sent to the above parties I stated that failure to receive their response within 30 day of receipt of my certified letter may result in small claims legal action against their companies at my local venue. I would be seeking a minimum of {$1000.00} in damages per violation for defamation, negligent enablement of identity fraud, violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices section 807-8 and violation of the fair credit reporting act section 623-b.

XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted UNIFUND CCR LLC in regards to this inaccurate account on my consumer report. The correspondence received on XX/XX/XXXX did not fulfill any of my prior requests. All I received was an unsigned contract from another company and notified that the collection account had been sold to yet another company, DISTRESSED ASSET PORTFOLIO III , LLC but is still being updated reported from UNIFUND CCR LLC. Your company has failed to provide me with competent evidence to prove that I have a legal obligation to pay the alleged debt to you or any third party. Your company reported derogatory information/account/debt to my consumer reports ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. ). Your company failed to validate debt. Your company does not own alleged debt. Your company is not in possession to collect alleged debt but still reporting to my consumer report and causing me hardship. I am attesting that I have not received any goods or services from them nor do I plan to in the future. I have no verbal or written contract with UNIFUND CCR LLC that states I owe them or agree to pay them any money. I have no knowledge of this company and again I have no desire to do any business with UNIFUND CCR LLC. I am a victim of fraud, and I'm demanding that UNIFUND CCR LLC according to section 623 ( A ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( B ) cease reporting this inaccurate information to the consumer reporting agencies ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, etc. ) IMMEDIATELY as I have previously requested, and I am aware that this subject to a {$1000.00} fine per violation in addition to punitive damages. Also upon checking my reports, I've noticed that your company has been doing soft credit pulls of my information, that occurred on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, which is another violation of my rights under the FCRA. If your company has sold this alleged debt to another third party, why are you still illegally pulling my information regularly? I never authorized your company to pull my report under any circumstance nor invade my privacy. Lastly, upon checking XXXX XXXX XXXX, your company doesn't have any license that allows you to collect debt in the state of Tennessee.

XX/XX/XXXX To whom it may concern : Re Account number XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX, I pulled my credit report on XXXX and discovered that this account was reporting as Included in Bankruptcy with a Transfer or Sold status. On XX/XX/XXXX I disputed this account with XXXX in order to correct the Transferred or sold status notation. A Discharged debt can not be sold or transferred per the FCRA, and the US bankruptcy rules, and must reflect the correct account status, Included in bankruptcy. On XX/XX/XXXX, I was alerted that this account had an Updated status as Transferred or Sold, without any notation that is was discharged in bankruptcy. XXXX stated that this account has been verified per my dispute according to XXXX. It was updated with erroneous information on my credit report, and the date of last active or last reported, did not change, which would indicate that the account was in dispute. Nor did the the account show it was under investigation. On XX/XX/XXXX that I sent a certified letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, advising them of their disregard in reporting accurate information to the credit bureaus, and Demanded its correction and or Deletion :. As of XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX has not responded to any of my disputes or letters sent to them. This blatant disregard of the fair credit reporting act, is destroying my credit profile, and creating denials of new credit. This debt was discharged in Bankruptcy court on XX/XX/XXXX, and under the fair credit reporting act it must show accurate or be deleted in its entirety. XXXX is reporting this account as Discharged in bankruptcy. The last active status matches my bankruptcy filing date as XX/XX/XXXX, but the account is showing a Date of last payment on XX/XX/XXXX, which is four years past my discharge date. This also falls under the same guidelines as above. XXXX, was served with the same court information as the other creditors in my petition, and are blatantly disregarding the Rules of bankruptcy. It is now my understanding that this account has been sold to a company named Unifund. Please note : Any collection attempt on a discharged debt is a violation of federal law.

There are many charges on this account that were not made by me. I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX several times on and around XX/XX/XXXX. I told them there were many charges on this account that were not mine and there needed to be an investigation done. They would not take steps to look into the problem. I told them I was not going to make any more payments till it was investigated. They got fed up and tired of arguing about the debt and then sold the debt to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. Same problem with this XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I contacted them, explained the situation to them and nothing was done, or looked into, or investigated. I told them that many of the charges were not mine and I need all the information about the account to prove my case. They then just told me to pay the bill. I believe they do not have the Information, or are holding it back because they do not want me to be able to prove my case. They just want to get a Judgement on that Ridiculous Number they have listed on the Summons. All they care about is making a huge profit off a debt they pay pennies on a dollar for. On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX sold the debt to another debt collector Unifund. They hired a XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX to sue me for the debt. I tried discussing it with them and they told me to set up a payment plan. I told them I am not responsible for the hole debt and am not paying till the fraud issues are resolved. They filed a small claims law suit in court and will not get back to me, or discuss any investigation, or settlement options for my part in the debt. Another thing is they sued and on the Law Suit and there are Two people at my mailing address with the same name, only the middle initial is different. I do not think they know who and which one they are looking for., and have all the proper documentation to prove it. or have investigated it, and found fraud charges but do not want to admit it. Thank you

My XXXX XXXX credit card was put into collections and the balance was {$1500.00} or so. I was dealing with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and setup a payment plan with them to automatically deduct {$100.00} from my bank account. I paid 9 consecutive payments totaling {$900.00}. Then my account was transferred without my knowledge to Unifund. They sent me a letter saying that they were now handling my account. I was unaware that I was dealing with Unifund or that I even had to lookout for a letter from them because I was working with XXXX XXXX and that this debt would soon be resolved. Here are my issues : I did not authorize XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to transfer my account to Unifund and that my agreement to satisfy my debt was with XXXX not Unifund. I find it very convenient and not a coincidence that {$900.00} was collected from a {$1500.00} balance and as soon as I was close to paying my debt my account is transferred to another collection account. I feel that Unifund and XXXX are practicing predatory lending and unethical business practices creating a never ending loop where I will never be able to resolve this issue. They are taking advantage of me and passing my account around making it extremely difficult to settle the debt. I owed XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$1500.00} and after collecting {$900.00}, Unifund is now saying I still owe {$1500.00}. Where did the money go? Again, a never ending loop where I can't resolve this issue and continue to worry that my credit rating will always be negatively effected. I want to resolve this issue and want XXXX, Global, and any other future collection agency to cease and desist in pursuing collections. I have done everything in my power to try and make good on this collection and I do not want to waste any more of my time or have my credit rating negatively effected by this issue now or in the future.

To Whom It May Concern : XXXX / XXXX / XXXX XXXX XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Case # XXXX It is obvious from the Unifund response that this is a standardized template letter. I have never been served in person, by mail or in any other format ever. Unifund is required by law to provide proof of such event which is the original complaint that was filed by me stating that I was NEVER served, notified or any documentation or US mail ever delivered to any address that I receive correspondence at. Additionally, NONE of the credit reporting firms including all the majors, XXXX XXXX and XXXX show ever an official claim filed against me. I am attaching a copy of XXXX which is a law firm and credit repair firm in the state of California that shows my full credit history for the last 5 years on all major credit reporting firms and as you can clearly see ; there is no filing in the last 5 years. The statute of limitations for consumer debt for the state of California is 4 years. And, as admitted in their own documentation, this pertains to a debt from XXXX , well over 11 years ago. My complaint has been fully validated : 1. Unifund has never provided documentation of how, when, where or by whom I was personally supposed to have been served as required by law. 2. Nor has Unifund provided any mail documentation in the form of certified mail letters or mechanism or report of who this was given or sent to. 3. I am requesting to be clear that this debt be eliminated based on 3 principles : A. I was never served B. The debt is beyond the statute of limitations for the state of California as it over 10 years old which is more than twice the legal limit C. No evidence has ever been shown to me or any US credit reporting firm of the existence of this claim.

After I have been trying to settle this debt for over 1 year and the company never responded to my many attempts, I contacted CFPB and all of a sudden XXXX XXXX XXXX was able to respond, but still did not provide a written settlement. I had to file another complaint first. With all this time past and XXXX XXXX XXXX falsely filing a lawsuit against me, I had many unexpected costs caused by XXXX XXXX XXXX and their lawyer Mr. XXXX : I had to send over 10 priority mail letters, I had to drive to XXXX Court 3 times, wasting money for gas etc. The original amount I had offered XXXX as a pay-off quote {$850.00}, is not available anymore. I have been without work since XXXX. No work, no money. I am a single parent with a minor home schooling child and with this pandemic hardship and all the costs caused by Mr. XXXX, I am only able to pay a one time settlement of {$200.00}. Furthermore the settlement agreement that XXXX XXXX XXXX sent me for the {$850.00} was not signed - IT NEEDS TO BE SIGNED BY THEM. PLEASE HAVE THEM SIGN THE NEXT SETTLEMENT OFFER THEY MAIL TO ME, otherwise it would not be valid, the one I received is not legitimate. Also, Mr. XXXX and his firm have caused me immense distress by suing me, when I had been trying to pay the debt. The distress has caused me illness, XXXX for months. They should offer a compensation for mistreating people, harassing others and making them sick. I should receive money for compensation from them. Furthermore, I received a phone call again today from the company " XXXX XXXX '' claiming that THEY own this XXXX Card CC Debt ... They claimed they had sent me a settlement offer a while ago and I should pay THEM .... Please explain and investigate! They called from phone number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Unifund LLC, sent numerous letters to two of my previous addresses in an attempt to collect a debt. The addresses that where used at the time, were no longer my residence which did not allow me to know that they had purchased a debt and where attempting to collect on it. They without me knowing filed a citation to summon me to court in which my correct address was then used, and I was made aware of the issue. I was blind sided by this ordeal and had no other option but to go to court without representation due to only having 14 days to respond. While in court I was ordered to pay Unifund LLC, XXXX, because they stated they had reached out to me multiple times, in an attempt to collect said debt, but the truth of the matter is I was unaware that Unifund LLC, even existed much less I owed them money! In the reply to my first complaint a representative states that " I insinuated they had not served me a summons '', that is not what I referred to, instead I was referring to the fact I had not been informed of a debt they were trying to collect prior to them taking legal action. Without properly being informed I was unable to make any accommodations, review any of the alleged information, or even speak to Unifund LLC, about what was going on. Every letter they sent from Unifund LLC, has previous addresses on them which made it impossible to be aware of what was being alleged, or sought after. All the documents I reviewed from Unifund LLC, either has XXXX XXXX XXXX on it, or XXXX XXXX XXXX on it. Also in the provided documents it shows the " debt '' to be sold on XXXX which is just a little less than a year, that I had been living in my current residence, as I had moved there in XXXX of XXXXXXXX

I have had a XXXX XXXX account since XXXX. My account has always been current - as a XXXX studentXXXX and professional. My current balance is {$19000.00}. I was laid off from my job in XXXX, XXXX. I contacted XXXX regarding my job status in XXXX, XXXX and let you know that I would be living off my bi-monthly unemployment benefits for the unforeseeable future. In the meantime, I would continue my fervent job hunt. At that time, I set up a monthly payment plan of {$97.00} for three months in which no interest, late fees or over -the- credit- line fees would be applied. I also agreed to close my account for the time being. I asked what would happen after three months if I had not found a job yet and the representative assured me that we would continue the agreement- if need be. Three months later, after having made my monthly payments - I still had not found a job yet. So I indicated that I would like to continue with our new agreement. However, the representative informed me that I could no longer continue the $ 97 monthly payments and I would need to pay at least {$190.00} a month going forward. I was unable to afford to pay {$190.00} at this time. In fact, given my living expenses - I would be unable to live if I paid more than {$97.00} a month. XXXX did not care about this. They were totally unwilling to continue my payment plan. They wanted what they wanted. Period. It is now XXXX and XXXX sold my debt to Unifund CCR , LLC in XXXX, OH. I am still unemployed and they served me court papers recently informing me that Unifund is suing me for approx. {$22000.00}. I just mailed in my response to the court. Can the CFPB help me with this crucial matter?

XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX got a wage garnishment against me for {$10000.00} for a debt that is not mine from XXXX. XXXX & XXXX claim that I owe this debt. The debt is from a credit card company called XXXX. They went out of business in XXXX, picked up the debt in XXXX and sued me then XXXX XXXX in XXXX. I have never heard of Unifund, nor have I ever been served with a Subpoena to appear in court. Unifund hired XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX a debt collector, I don't know when. I'm guessing in XXXX. XXXX & XXXX say they served me a subpoena in XXXX, which is a bold face lie. I have NEVER been served with a subpoena of any kind, from anyone. Now zoom to XXXX XXXX & XXXX have gotten a wage garnishment against me for almost. I called them to see if they would take less, or get some kind of payment just to get this over with. I first offered {$1000.00}, the {$2000.00}. She said that they want {$11000.00} now. What happening here, in order for me to get out of this debt, that is not mine, I'm being forced to file for bankruptcy. That's not right. I've spent the last 9 years building my credit, from a score of XXXX, to a score of XXXX. For 9 years I have never heard hide nor hair from XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX. Not a word. Now this. They want more money now, than what the garnishment is. At 29.99 % interest. There is absolutely no way for anyone to pay that off. I bring home {$1500.00} a month. And I am at my witts end. Nor do I want to file for bankruptcy. I don't know what else to do. They are trying to ruin my life. I'm XXXX, and I don't know who to turn to, but you. Please help.

Hello, I do not recognize the company who is suing me. I do not owe them any money. Someone named XXXX XXXX has tried numerous times to sue me for a debt he bought over 10 years ago. I am not sure if this is the same person. I have not received any court documents. The first I am hearing of this latest law suit is today when the company took {$2200.00} from my checking account leaving me with very little money to pay my bills. It is this same person who was eventually sued by someone else and he had to stop trying to collect from people. He is trying to ruin my credit and my finances. The company Unifund CCR , LLC, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, OH XXXX is the company that sued me. They can not legally sue me for a debt that I did not take out with them and that is over at least 10 years old, perhaps 13 years old. I need him to stop once and for all. The garnishment was dismissed on XX/XX/XXXX. Five years later on XX/XX/XXXX, a certificate of judgement was filed. Almost 3 years later, an aid of execution was filed by the garnishee. It indicates that I was served on XX/XX/XXXX. I never received anything. I moved over a year ago by then but the XXXX County Clerk of Courts says that I received. On XX/XX/XXXX, it indicates the answer of garnishee was filed. I was not privy to that either. On XX/XX/XXXX, the garnishee contacted my bank to take my money. I still have not received any mail. The company or the clerk of courts in XXXX County Ohio can produce any documents stating that I signed anything acknowledging receipt.

According to XXXX XXXX XXXX who represent Unifund CCR, XXXX state that i owe {$8300.00} for a account i did not own. I tried to get the information that they said they had to prove their case. I got a billing statement for billing that had a date of XX/XX/XXXX. the account was in my name and address was listed where i used to live. What caught my eye was the credit card account number was different from the credit card i did have with them and has since been paid and canceled. I told them that this account wasn't even mine. Their answer was because my name was on it it was my account and owed the amount. I asked XXXX XXXX XXXX to show me the form where i signed for this account. Nothing was produced. If i understood XXXX XXXX XXXX they are the second debt collector to have this account. They say I was served to appear in court. The age of the person served as XXXX, at that time i was XXXX. the height of the person was XXXX foot, im XXXX. In order to put pressure on me to pay the debt XXXX XXXX XXXX or Unifund had put a lean on me. I found this out when i tried to get a G.I. loan in XXXX for a home, of course i was denied the loan because of this.According to a screen shot page dated XX/XX/XXXX from Unifund it states that I do not make enough money to garnish. In short i never owned the card in question. I would like to have the Lean taken off and the debt erased. I feel they have taken away my right to getting a home for my family as owed thru the G.I. bill.

Unifund CCR LLC bought this debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. However this debt has been dismissed by a court in XXXX, MD and should be deleted. I will include the attached Maryland Judiciary Case Search file to this complaint for viewing. Please remove this from the file asap. Additionally I am impacted by Covid19. Please not this all stemmed from the XXXX XXXX XXXX phone teams mishandlings of the file. They were very XXXX and tribal toward me. Putting me on long hold times and shouting like animals at me. Making the servicing and handling of this account impossible. The XXXX girls and XXXX girls were especially mean. This was vengefully sabotaged. The practice is called " derogatory the privileged white mans credit and finances '', unfortunately this movement of sorts is going on in call servicing centers around the united states. They chastised me when i mentioned i voted for trump. The call center suffered from " trump deraingement syndrome '', a now very popular term. I saved dozens of recorded phone instances. The judge deleted this case and it now needs removed from my credit. The fair debt collection practices act was broken and amounts as well as fees inflated. To avoid further legal action and civil suite please remove all negative credit reporting. Please do this for XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. Respond in writing to this complaint that you did so. Provide me a copy of this in writing by paper copy printed and mailed once done. Thank you.

I had a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and I was having issues logging into my online account to pay. I did not pay for 3 months and my debt was brought into collections. The collections company I was dealing with was called XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. I was unable to pay the full amount they requested at the time to settle the debt so the person I was dealing with said I can setup a direct deposit with them for {$100.00} a month to settle my debt. I have copies of XXXX consecutive checks each w/ the amount of {$100.00} issued and paid to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX and ending on XX/XX/XXXX. A total amount of {$900.00}. XXXX setup an auto pay to settle the debt and when they stopped automatically collecting from my bank account I thought the issue was resolved. I later find that a new collection company called Unifund LLC has placed a collection and derogatory remark on my credit report for the amount of {$1500.00} which I believe was similar to the amount I originally owed to XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. I am trying to purchase my first home so I need this to be resolved on my credit report, also I do not see how it is legal and not fraudulent for another company to take over my debt and for the amount to reset after all the payments I have made. This is negatively impacting my credit and decreasing my chances of purchasing my first home. I really hope this can be resolved so I can move on w/ fixing my credit and purchasing my first home.

I have been trying to fix this problem for a long time ( over 15 months ), have offered pay-off, settlement etc. Company keeps calling me on a daily basis, about 3-6 times per day from different numbers. UNIFUND ownes this debt. XXXX XXXX XXXX calls me all the time, instead of providing a signed settlement in writing - they have provided a setetlement, but with amount too high, I had explained to them that I am under a single parent COVID-19 hardship with no income since XXXX. RThey sent me a settlement that they did NOT SIGN, amountb too high. They need to provide a settlement offer that I can AFFORD and that they SIGN before they send it to me. A printed out settlement offer NOT signed is not valid and I can NOT send any money to them if it is not legitimate and SIGNED!! They also need to assure that they will dismiss the lawsuit against me within 10 days after receiving the 1-TIME SETTLEMENT PAYMENT, that they will provide a copy of the dismissal of the lawsuit to me within 15 days, that they will refrain from suing me about this matter and the remaining balance in the future, that the entire debt will be dismissed with my one time payment of {$200.00} They just called me again from a robo-call saying they are offering a disount, press 0 - when I pressed 0 the call was being disconnected. Another company - XXXX XXXX - keeps also calling me, claiming they own this debt and that I have to submit payments to them ....

I want to ask the CFPB to open an investigation, so Unifund LLC does not continue to evade its responsibility to respond to arbitrations filed by consumers. I am going through a very stressful time with Unifund. I filed an arbitration case against this company, who is reporting the account involved in this matter. Unifund has refused to arbitrate the matter thereby violating the contractual agreement that was in place with the original creditor XXXX. The case I filed is based on several violations that Unifund has committed : excessive phone calls, unfair and deceptive business practices, and collecting on account with fraudulent charges account. I was called excessively by creditors and Ive kept on getting calls and letters despite my telling them to stop communicating. In addition, the account incurred fraudulent charges and prior to that I tried to close account numerous times with the original creditor but to no avail. They also failed to forward me any notices to my forwarding address. Now the XXXX XXXX XXXX tells me that Unifund is out of compliance with them and failed to comply with the XXXX policies regarding consumer claims, which means that not only my contract with them, but the contract terms of each and every consumer that has been sold to Unifund will now be upheld. I have lost significant sleep and peace of mind over this issue for several months, as my entire financial life has come to a halt due to this.

I have tried to pay this debt since 2019 - however they sued me, illegally, even though I was always willing to pay this debt, and lied to the court claiming I was unwilling, when I have priority mail receipts that I have requested a pay-off quote, a settlement with them. Now they responded to you that they will accept a payment, but they still have not sent anything to me in writing, no confirmation, no official settlement statement that with a one time payment of XXXX. amount this debt will be settled ones and for all and confirming that they will take no further actions and will dismiss the lawsuit against me immediately etc. - NOTHING - NO DEBT SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, no letter or agreement from them at all. What they are saying/writing to you is not true, they have not contacted me accepting any settlement, agreeing to any pay-off quote, I have not received anything from them, while I have sent them 5 priority mail letters in the last few months alone, requesting information and a pay-off quote and settlement. PLEASE ASK THEM TO PROVIDE A COPY OF THE LETTER TO YOU WHICH THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE SENT TO ME AGREEING TO A SETTLEMENT - I have NOT received anything. Thank you! Kind regards, XXXX XXXX PLEASE FORWARD ALL INFORMATION AND ATTACHMENTS TO XXXX XXXX XXXX AS WELL AS TO UNIFUND ( so UNIFUND can see how their lawyer treats and intimidates people and does NOT get in touch with people who are willing to pay debts )

I ordered a PC from XXXX. The PC was severely damaged. It also came with a window on the side to see the inside of the PC. This had a gouge across the window so that was ruined too. PCs are considered to be fragile so I did not want to use it. I asked that it be sent back. They sent me an RMA document to ship the PC back. I shipped it back and my balance was set back to {$0.00}. Because I had the PC for more than 1 month XXXX wanted their monthly payment, which I had never missed in the year I was with them. I did not see why I would have to pay monthly payments for a damaged and returned item. I tried discussing this with a manager but she was very rude and unhelpful. This was before they received the PC. She threatened to send it back even though I had already received the RMA approval from XXXX. They eventually sent me to collections and their collection cronies have hit my credit multiple times with similar but unique company names. Unifund CCR LLC and Unifund LLC. I demand that both of these be removed from my credit and the account deleted as I do not owe XXXX money. I am considering legal action against them ( both companies ) and XXXX regarding this issue as this is causing me to be denied credit for a home. I was high enough to purchase a home and now I am in the XXXX because of these negative hits. I am already consulting with attorneys. If these are not removed I will need to take legal action.

This debt is a credit card debt I believe - I never received any verification of debt. The collection company, Unifund, filed for judgment against my homestead property in XXXX. I was going thru a divorce and the death of my brother from XXXX. I just received a copy of a cause filed for notice of substitution of counsel for Unifund - I have not received any certified mail for this information. Texas Law under the Texas Property Code, Title 5 A provides protection for a homesteaded property against debtor claims and is exempt from this type of collection. I am requesting immediate removal and release of the current judgement that was filed in XX/XX/XXXX against the property located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Texas XXXX. The county records clearly indicated the homesteaded designation and the attorney for Unifund accessed those records prior to filing in court. I respectfully request immediate release of the judgement by the firm or the substitute attorney or entity who is assuming the cause. Please immediately prepare and execute the document, file it in the court and clerks office with a certified copy sent to me. I am attaching a copy of the voters registration for the property from XX/XX/XXXX thru current copy of the county records showing the Homestead exemption in place. Additionally I am sending a copy of the complaint to the Texas Attorney General Office for records.

XXXX COUNTY REPORTING A FALSE DEBT COLLECTIONS THAT NEEDS TO BE REMOVED BY THE COURTS Texas ' four-year statute of limitations on debts works alongside the Texas Debt Collection Act. The limited time period means that debt collectors can not sue individuals in an attempt to collect debts that are more than four years past du FTC VIOLATIONS The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), Pub.

I had several phone calls latter part of 2018 about a credit card balance. I told collector each time that did not or ever have an account with the credit card company and that it was not my debt. They tried to cajole me to then identify whose it was but I stated it was not me responsibility to assist in that effort. Then in XXXX I got a certified letter from attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX instructing me to pay them and insinuating legal action if I did not.I call their firm and told the answerer that they hand made an error. I sent a certified response again telling them it was not my debt that I never had any dealings with the credit card company or the debt collector. I did not ask for any support documents but they replied with copies of account statements and those statements clearly show the account holder being a different address, different birthday, and I assume a different phone. It is clearly not me. Then on XX/XX/XXXX these people filed suit against me in Magistrate court for the debt. They have ignored my repeated attempts to clear this up. It is obvious and immediately evident that it is not my debt. I suspect they used the roughshod tactics to intimidate me into paying others debt. I intend to counter sue them for possible credit rating issues, defamation, and stress and aggrivation.

My husband and I had credit cards through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. They were paid off with a consolidation loan though XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX. Also thorough a consolidation loan through XXXX XXXX, which was subsequently paid off with the XXXX loan. We received a judgment from First Resolution Investment Co for both credit cards stating that the cards were never paid. We have the loan documents from XXXX that state that payments of {$480.00} and {$1200.00} were sent to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to pay off the accounts. My husband 's checks are now being garnished for just over {$400.00} each month and at least once every year our bank accounts are garnished taking every penny we have for a debt that was paid in XX/XX/XXXX. I tried to get the documentation from XXXX to show what that loan was used to pay and how much because I know some of it was used towards one of these credit cards. They stated that since it was over 7 years ago they no longer have that paperwork and can not provide me with any documentation that there was ever a loan in the first place ... aside from a paper showing my payment history on the loan. We called First Resolution Investment who directed us to their lawyer at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX who laughed when we told them we had paid this off and told us to prove it.

I am writing this letter in regard to an issue that has presented itself. I had an outstanding balance on a XXXX XXXX credit card account about 2 years ago because I went trough a hardship I called the bank directly and settled my account over the phone ( bank has to have record ), XXXX XXXX set up automatic payment on their end which were completed and terminated by XXXX XXXX when settlement amount was reached in XXXX 2017. Approximately few weeks ago I received a letter from a debt collector stating that I have a remaining balance of XXXX, I explained what happened to the debt collectors, they refused to cooperate, I tried to call them bank and they refused to speak with me -- stating that my account was sold to debt collectors and I have to speak with them, I am a single mother and feel like I am stuck in-between because of a mistake made by XXXX XXXX. I obtained proof of all payments from my bank and sent them to debt collectors and according to them they contacted XXXX XXXX twice on my behalf, 1st time banks response was " the monthly payment amount was incorrect it is supposed to be {$95.00} instead {$93.00} '', when I explained it was set up on their end then they answered on 2nd request from debt collectors that they never even settled this account and I was just paying toward my balance.

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, New Jersey, XXXX. stating that they will be submitting a application to the Superior Court of New Jersey to garnish my wages for a debt for XXXX . I checked my credit report and saw there was a judgement as well for this debt. This debt was paid in full in XX/XX/XXXX. I was never given an opportunity to dispute the debt in which they got the judgment for because I was never served any notice. The judgment was filed on XX/XX/XXXX for XXXX The judgment was in favor for XXXX XXXX XXXX. A company I have never heard of. I believe they violated my rights. I did send a certified letter to the court and XXXX XXXX XXXX objecting to their application for wage garnishment. I researched this business and found they are known for illegal practices. They try to collect on old debts and debts people do not even owe, without giving any notice. They freeze bank accounts etc ... I want this business to be held accountable for their illegal practices. I want the judgment they put on me removed and to withdraw the application for wage garnishment. If it is not, I will have no choice but to retain a lawyer and counter sue them for lack of personal jurisdiction and trying to collect on a debt that was paid in XX/XX/XXXX.

RE : UNIFUND unfair collection lawsuit UNIFUND is suing me over debt I'm not even sure that I owe. They never provided complete documentation despite my stating that I don't have it in the pretrial mediation. Also, I am a widow who supports a minor child with social security survivor 's benefits. During this year, I also received some unemployment payments from a part-time job. I understand that both are automatically exempt from collection. That is the mainstay of my financial support for my child. I do have a part-time job, too, but, under Florida law, I am exempt from any collections of that as I am the wage earner for a minor child. It is my understanding that either is not subject to garnishment and I do not own any real estate or extraordinary assets. Further, by the time my minor child turns 18 and is no longer covered by the Florida wage exemption law, the debt will then have fallen out of the statute of limitations for collection. THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF ALL OF THIS. I have informed UNIFUND 's Compliance Officer, XXXX XXXX, and their attorney ( XX/XX/XXXXand XXXX of XXXX, Florida ), however, they persist in suing me over it and my case is now set for trial in XXXX. I have reached out to attorneys to defend me, but have yet to get representation.

Unifund CCR Partners allege that I owe XXXX from over 20 years ago, though XXXX has never had an account in my name ... Ever. XXXX NEVER contacted me and one would think that for this amount of money, they would have. Now that I am trying to sell our home, all of a sudden I have a judgement against me blocking the sale. They can not, or will not, produce a single piece of evidence regarding their allegations. No contracts, no signatures, no receipts. Somehow they managed to have a court approve a judgement without any proof twenty years ago. I was never served any papers, nor contacted in any form. I have bought and sold threXXXX houses, qualified for mortgages, secured auto loans, etc. Never once in that time has anything appeared on my credit reports. Unifund CCR has an unfortunate reputation of conducting this type of nefarious unprofessional business. We need to sell our family home and move. I take care of my special needs younger brother, and I am partially physically XXXX. This is unconscionable to allow this sort of unethical behavior to prevail. Show proof, or drop this matter now. P.S. In yesterday 's mail, I received an offer from XXXX to open an account, and they will pay me {$200.00} - {$2000.00}. Does that sound as if I owed them money?

XX/XX/XXXX my car was stolen, in my car I had my check book. Whoever stole my car also wrote bad checks out of that account. I reported this incident with XXXX at that time. The manager of the branch told me everything was taken care of and the account would be closed with out a problem. In XX/XX/XXXX I got served with legal papers saying that I owed that balance plus legal fees. At that time I wanted that problem to go away so I agree to make payments. A few weeks later I lost that job and was unemployed for years. Now I received a garnishment notice directly in my mail. The last time I made a payment was in XX/XX/XXXX. For what I understood there was a statue of limitation that protected me against being garnished at this point. The other reason I 'm filing a complaint is because the garnishment is already in process but I was never physically served paper or contacted to agree of the debt. I do n't think it 's fair to have to pay all the attorney fees for a balance that should n't even be owed in the first place. It took years after the incident with XXXX until I found out of the mess it caused. At the time the branch where I went to submit my proof of fraud was already closed.

The man on the phone said I have been ignoring their calls and not responding to their letter and that they will be forced to take legal action. I asked the man if he could verify what address they have on file, he responded by asking for my FULL social security number. I refused to give him the full number and asked if he could just tell me what the issue was, he said not until you give me your social. I then informed the man that this is the first time I received a call from this number and if he could send a certified letter to my address to ensure that I receive it. I also asked to receive verification of the debt owed and still have not received anything to date. Recently I have received a handful of letters from consumer relief attorneys saying I am being sued and offering their help. According to the letters the lawsuit against me was filed on XXXX/XXXX/17 but I have yet to be served a copy of anything. I really think this is an outdated or zombie debt because this account is not even on my credit report!

Today XXXX XXXX refused to send me a copy of the original debt claiming the company XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX mailed it in the past. Not true I have never receive a copy of the originally debt in all my years of requesting it. I never had a contract with Unifund CCR Partbers A XXXX XXXX XXXX prior to finding out about this judgement. The company they represent has sent me a refund check. I only receive the copy of a California judgement. It very unfair and unconstitutional not to see the changes against me. By refusing my request and still insisting I pay while calculating accruing interest I am being treat unfair and unreasonable. When I make a complaint they go away for a while and a year or so come back. These debt collects should show the real debt is accurate and if its real and true. These lawyers learn how to take advantage or the consumer because they are financial bullies to the average low income consumers ....

Hello, I am attempting to lodge a complaint against debt collectors and law firms who work in conjunction to pressure and threaten individuals by suing them in State Civil court ( California ). They have created their own industry, to enrich themselves and prey on citizens who can afford no real defense for themselves, and I am including myself. By suing them in state court as apposed to Small Claims court. They create an environment in which the defendants have no previous experience or knowledge and therefore are prevented from offering any real defense for themselves. These collection agencies, which are mostly paying pennies on the dollar for these outstanding loans, then turn around and demand a repayment of at least 70 %. Which should be construed as illegal Usury. I am talking about thousands of suits brought to court every week in the state of California. The plaintiffs attorney ( who was a paid litigate stand-in for most of the firms who were due in court that day ) explained to me afterward how terrible this practice was and that it had been going on for at least 8 years.

In my phone call to UNIFUND CCR, LLC on XX/XX/2019 at approximately XXXX EST to settle an open lawsuit against me, the UNIFUND CCR , LLC representative stated that the default judgement was being processed. When asked to clarify as I was entitled to 20 days from the date of receipt of the notice before a default judgement would be issued, she repeated the same phrase again. As I am entitled to 20 days from the date of notice to respond to lawsuits before a default judgement is issued, and the date of notice was XX/XX/2019, on the date of the phone call, no default judgment could have been being processed. Therefore, their agent used false or misleading representation and violated the FDCPA. The Federal Debt Collection Practices Act 807 ( 2 ) ( B ) states clearly that " A debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt. [ ... ] the following conduct is a violation of this section : the false representation of - [ ... ] the character, amount, or legal status of any debt ''.

This harassment is causing such anxiety that I am unable to sleep at night wondering when I am going to wake up and be penniless again. This is complete fraud and harassment and I want it to stop immediately and be refunded the amount they have already stolen from me. If you call the attorney 's office, you have some so called lady answering telling you " you should pay your bills.

On XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Unifund CCR , LLC, started adding two Collections accounts to all three credit bureaus in response to debts they must have bought from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX They backdated the opening of the accounts to XX/XX/XXXXXXXX Unifund has never over the course of the last five years contacted me via phone, mail, or email, regarding their purchase of either of these debts prior to submitting this information to the credit bureaus. These two original debts have been in ongoing disputes over the validity and accuracy. Unifund has also not provided validation of the debts. XXXX has already deleted one Unifund collection account, and all others, to include the original XXXX XXXX debts, are currently in dispute and are being investigated. I believe that Unifund bought debt that was already expired because of the Statute of Limitations in Florida, but is attempting to re-age the debts in their favor. These debts can not be validated by Unifund, and should be removed from the credit bureau reporting.

The phones are being answered by different receptionists - I have records of all the dates and times and names when I called. I have asked for call backs, but Mr. XXXX has never responded to my many attempts in over 1 year. I have made many good faith attempts to settle this debt, but XXXX XXXX XXXX, Mr. XXXX, are unwilling to talk to clients, to respond to emails or priority mail letters, he prefers threatening people to sue them even when they are willing to negotiate and pay.

I got a letter on XX/XX/XXXX for pending income execution for {$24000.00} including interest and poundage from the XXXX XXXX Sheriff for this debt that was never validated by the collection agency UNIFUND CCR LLC. I reached out to the Attorney listed and they gave no information and have not called me back XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX NY ).

I have tried to dispute, multiple times a collection that was included in my BKXXXX - even after discharge their remarks claimed it was an open and active collection account, accosting me an extra out of the gate from discharge derogatory, incorrect and damaging collection status, balance, and keeping the status as an open and active collection account REGARDLESS of the the fact that it was IIB and took several disputes just to get the remark chapter XXXX bk noted, however, they REFUSE to change the status to closed discharged and IIB and it is affecting my credit standing and rebuilding process in the worst way possible. It's not only an FCRA violation, it's an attempt to look like a risky borrower on all 3 of CRA 's. The status should report as all of my other tradelines have, XXXX balance, included in BKXXXX and have it listed as a CLOSED matter as it is such. It is still not 100 % accurately reporting after several disputes. XXXX XXXX

I have since then relocated back to XXXX XXXX. XXXX and XXXX and XXXX both refuse to assist me in making payments on this account. I am trying to get this account resolved once and for all and continue making payments so we can zero this out. I am willing to make monthly payments at a higher amount, offer a settlement etc. but to threaten to sue me in a state I dont live and to refuse to take any payments to sue me is disgusting.

They told me if I hired an attorney they would charge me {$25000.00} in fees as a penalty. - I was never served papers on this case. I pulled the serve and they say they served a XXXX XXXX which is impossible bc there was/is not anyone else at the home that fits the XXXX description on the paper. - they keep changing the amount I owe and refuse to put the exact amount in writing. - when I offered to pay the amount of the judgement thet refused to provide a receipt or any paper work saying I satusifued the debt. - they threatened to ruin me financially and said they would never stop suing me

My company ( that I own, registered, and dissolved years ago ) is listed as the employer being ordered to garnish wages to myself as the employee. I have no knowledge of this debt nor did it make sense to be asking my dissolved company to garnish wages from myself. I have never received nor heard of Unifund until receiving this letter. This isn't even showing up in my credit report. I contacted the lawyer representing Unifund ( XXXX XXXX ) and the account representative was not able to locate the amount in question nor did it show there is a wage garnishment in process.

Debt is from a credit card that was discontinued several years ago. Since that time I had attempted to file for bankruptcy but my lawyer died and it was never completed. I had no contact from collector for years and forgot about the debt. In XXXX , I was notified that I not only owed the amount previously due ( which was close to {$6000.00} ) but owed a total of over {$20000.00}. A court settlement was completed without any real chance to dispute and my paycheck has been garnished since. I have paid over {$9000.00} since this settlement and still owe over {$20000.00} due to interest. I am the only person in my household that is currently employed and know very little about how to dispute these charges. I need help with getting this paid down and off so that my wages can go back to normal and my credit can begin to recover.

To my recollection XX/XX/XXXX Unifund CCR Partners seized money that I had in XXXX. I never received any notice or certified mail regarding any type of court dates. The debt was not owed to them directly. They bought the debt from XXXX. Then XX/XX/XXXX they garnished wages from my employer. To date they 've taken over {$3000.00}. I was recently contacted and notified that I was part of a class action lawsuit against Unifund CCR Partners because of their illegal and unethical business practices. Which is exactly the case with me. I won a very small amount because of the number of claimants. But nevertheless, I won the case against them.

I do not have any relationship with Unifund and do not want one. This organization, perhaps some type of collections company has shown up in my credit history file about 2 years ago under a different name. This debt collection was removed once before however it has appeared and it should not. I fought this hard with their reps, the three credit reporting agencies and with the CFPB. Assistance from the CFPB to remove this debt and annoying recurrence of the illegitimate attempts of Unifund. They should not be able to show up every so often and attack the credit histories of individuals without notice.

On XXXX XXXX, 2020, UNIFUND CCR LLC add a derogatory marks on my credit reports. Upon further research, this account was transferred /sold and I am no longer responsible for it. Debtors creditors did not verify this collection. Also there was no written form of communication, contract or signature for this account debt at all. A bill without signature does not validate the debt and anybody can send a bill and say it is mine. According to the FCRA UNIFUND CCR LLC has violated my rights as a consumer and I requesting legal action to remove this account immediately.
