XX/XX/XXXX In XXXX I had been at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and had to have a XXXX. I started to get bills in the mail from this procedure and immediately took my mothers advice and filled out paperwork for the assistance program at XXXX XXXX XXXX. I received a reward letter shortly after all this and was told the costs had bee taken care of at 100 percent. I was in school at the time and knew nothing about judgments or resources to pay for procedures. I did fill out all the forms for the XXXX XXXX XXXX as well as some other forms that were included that would give a discounted rate. I received a verification letter that the bill was in fact satisfied and I owed nothing further on any of the bill. Prior to the covid 19 quarantine, I received a letter with a time and date to appear or be or a judgement will be entered against me and my wages could be garnished. I did appear but only a couple of weeks ago I am told this was not a " meeting '' as I thought but an " order to appear '' ( clarified by the attorney during a phone call on XX/XX/XXXX when I referred to it as a meeting/mediation and then by the court commissioner at the XX/XX/XXXX hearing ), at the time I was under the impression this was just a talk between myself and the other party. This was not held in a court room. This " meeting/mediation/order to appear '' ended in the open end communication and the final saying was the attorney from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Phone : ( XXXX ) XXXX who was representing XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX SC said he would get back to me about getting more information for me about the bill as well as if it were my bill the ability to pay XXXX a check is all I could offer. I never heard back from the law office and did send them a letter to follow up as well as made a phone call. I never received a response to either. Not only did I clarify that I did not think I owed this debt because I was told and verified this was paid by the XXXX XXXX plan ( a program to assist those who do not have insurance at the time of any care ) but I also applied for XXXX XXXX of XXXX. When I did this, the Wisconsin XXXX went back 3 months to cover any bills or costs. When I received notice the XXXX would go back 3 months, my mother XXXX XXXX wrote letters which I read and signed then sent certified to the physician 's I had seen at the time my medical issues. The letters stated the XXXX information and requested any bills be sent into claims to be covered. One of the places sent a letter was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX SC. ( I still have the digital copy certified mailings as well as a scanned version of the original letters ) I verified this with the billing department at the clinics. I was unaware there was still any balance and still had not received any documents from the law office of XXXX XXXX XXXX. I did try to contact the law office and assumed the issue had been verified and resolved. In XX/XX/XXXX I was informed by my employer they received notice to start garnishing my wages. After speaking with attorneys and a budget counselor I had my mother do research on my options. I was confused, stressed, worried and my XXXX interfered with clarity of things because I didn't know how all this could happen when I took all the necessary steps to resolve this. I have XXXX at the time ( applied in XX/XX/XXXX and was backdated 3 months but also was told by the hospital that the application for community care covered my expenses at 100 %. Not only did I not know of any debt and could not afford to be garnished but the law firm did not respond to me! following the advice of my mother, I filed an objection with the clerk of courts in XXXX XXXX. A hearing was set for XX/XX/XXXX. On approximately XX/XX/XXXX is when I filed a motion with the court stating I had no notification of this judgment and this may be a barred debt, and the fact I should be exempt. I also requested to put a stay on any garnishments until the court hearing. The commissioner in small claims only gave a court date in which until this day I still have not received notice of. After a week of filing the motion I had called the clerk of courts to verify they received the motion via fax and was notified of the hearing after I asked the time and date. Approximately XX/XX/XXXX I called Dobblestein Law office and spoke to the assistant for the attorney handling this case. It was only 2 weeks ago XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, when I spoke to the court commissioner that this was in fact not a " meeting '' as I thought it to be. I was only XXXX at the time and knew nothing about all of this. It took my involving others and asking many questions over the last month to get to this point. On approx. XXXX XXXX I called Dobblestein Law and asked if they would consider other options. I was speaking with Attorney XXXX XXXX assistant and stated that I was told this was a barred debt due to the statute of limitations. ( the debt was XXXX XXXX XXXX as of XX/XX/XXXX. It was during this conversation that I learned the law firm did not have the original lawsuit paper work and the request I faxed them XXXX, XXXX requesting record of the hearing and lawsuit was not something they would send me. I also learned they were only enforcing the judgment and it had originally been entered in XX/XX/XXXX. I did state I never received a court date notice nor could I review any bills to verify this was my debt. it was during this call that I said this was now a time barred. This is when I was informed the court date was as of XXXX. I asked why they just now contacted me and why they did not get back to me when I was going to overlook the paperwork they had and if it was my bill pay XXXX a check. I was told because they offered XXXX a month at the mediation/meeting/order to appear. I asked if there were negotiations and was told no. i asked if I could sign something to give them less longer ( because it was clear they were not going to give me time to verify the debt ), I was told no, I asked what happened to the discounted rate I was given when I had my procedure and they said they couldn't find the paperwork, I asked how this is debt when it was covered with the community care plan and they said " the anesthesiologist has the right to refuse the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was then transferred to Attorney XXXX XXXX. I asked his about providing the information I requested via fax and was told " we're passed that point '' I asked why they never responded to me after the mediation and was corrected that it was an order to appear and that it was because it was not what they asked for. I asked if there was anything else to do because the debt is verified and this is too much for me. He was non negotiable and insistent they were garnishing my wages. I also relayed to XXXX XXXX all my calls incoming and outgoing are recorded. I informed attorney XXXX I contacted the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX and am waiting for the supervisor ( calls can be transcribed to review name ), in response to this he stated " your not to contact them. no one should be speaking to you at this point '' I do not see how I can verify anything when this barrier is placed there! On XX/XX/XXXX I asked the court commissioner to request the law office to provide me the information from the original court date etc. I was told that " its too late for that '' The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is clear on the rights of a consumer and what a creditor can do and not do. I feel this entire situation has violated my time and rights as a consumer. It has caused so much distress and I can not stress enough how many sleepless nights of worry it has caused. How does one uphold their rights when the attorney, law office and commissioner all put up obstacles that block me from doing anything within my rights? The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Pub. L. 95-109 ; 91 Stat. 874, codified as 15 U.S.C. 1692 1692p, approved on September 20, 1977 is a consumer protection amendment, establishing legal protection from abusive debt collection practices, to the Consumer Credit Protection Act, as Title VIII of that Act. The statute 's stated purposes are : to eliminate abusive practices in the collection of consumer debts, to promote fair debt collection, and to provide consumers with an avenue for disputing and obtaining validation of debt information in order to ensure the information 's accuracy. The Act creates guidelines under which debt collectors may conduct business, defines rights of consumers involved with debt collectors, and prescribes penalties and remedies for violations of the Act. It is sometimes used in conjunction with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. In closing I want to say I feel I have exhausted every avenue I can take with this situation. I have tried to resolve and be reasonable. At the age of XXXX I did in fact attempt to and thought I succeeded to get this resolved. With all that I have done, why would I have just let a debt go if I knw I owed it. ( I do not believe I do. ) Most of all why would the law firm not just allow me to have copies of the paperwork and bill? Most of All, If this law office was not the one to enter the lawsuit, then how do they know it was done properly? I was not served papers or given a court date in the mail. I did also ask where those papers were sent to and the law office did not know but stated my old address, When I asked the attorney XXXX XXXX why wait this long to garnish my wages, his reply was " I guess you couldn't be located '' The part about this that is hard to believe is because I lived in the same duplex since I was XXXX. I did not move until appox 9 months ago. The law office had that address on their records and it was my address for 9 years so this is hard to believe and does not make sense to me. I was not even given the name of who it was that allegedly took this to court in XXXX. I have several unanswered questions. Not one action that has taken place against me protected my rights. I was basically told I do not have rights and this is my debt no matter what I say or prove. I can't even submit a bill to the insurance myself at this point because I wasn't provided one. I have even come up with a new XXXX a check amount to pay since I was told I had no options by the commissioner and he would not enforce the law office to let me verify any of this. I would like someone to please get back to me as soon as possible. My wages are being garnished and I have to be able to provide for my family. At this point, I will not be able to do that. please help! your prompt response is appreciated. Thank you. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I can provide all the information I mentioned to collaborate my facts if needed

This company sold a collection debt to XXXX XXXX dba DOBBERSTEIN LAW FIRM or they greedily bought this debt. A law suit was electronically filed on XXXX by one of their Attorney staff XXXX XXXX against me for {$2100.00}. However the original outstanding debt I owed to Balance Credit was included in my Chapter XXXX, discharged XXXX and has been in an active amortization plan paid by my Trustee since XXXX XXXX That debt amount owed and entered at the time was {$1400.00}. To date 43 % of that amount owed has been paid per my claim register sent to me by my trustee on XXXX. I attended the first court date on XXXX Attorney XXXX represented XXXX XXXX dba DOBBERSTEIN LAW FIRM that day. I provided my Chp XXXX information on record. And all the collection communications I had with Balance Credit back in XXXX, and that there were no new accounts or no new debt owed to them since I filed my Chp XXXX. The Judge explained for myself XXXX XXXX dba DOBBERSTEIN LAW FIRM to touch base with info given.Next Hearing was scheduled XXXX On XXXX I spoke with the DOBBERSTEIN LAW FIRM secretary ( XXXX XXXX ) I explained this error to their law suit filing. I was instructed to email my documents and attorney information who filed the Chapter XXXX that shows Balance Credit account was included. I submitted the DOBBERSTEIN LAW FIRM copies of my Chapter XXXX plan, a Case Asset printout, & Claim Register provided by my Trustee ( showing debts being paid under the Chp XXXX ) I also provided contact information for the filing attorneys office I went through. The secretary verified email and documents were received and would forward to attorney and they would follow up with me I never received a follow up call. I was not able to attend the hearing on XXXX due to work demands. Per WI CCAP a judgement was still entered on my name for the FALSELY substantial amount ABOVE the original collection amount nor the amount filed in my Chp XXXX Plan. I immediately contacted the WI CIRCUIT COURT who explained I would follow up with the Collection Firm. I placed a call with the Collection Firm I spoke with their secretary who transferred me to an attorney who NEVER picked up the line. I was on hold for 15mins, I called back 3x and was thrown into a voice mail. I left a voice message explaining my disagreement to them entering a judgement for a debt that is being paid under a Chp XXXX and that I submitted them the proof they requested to verify this information. I then placed a call to the Law firm I utilized to file my Chapter XXXX I spoke with the paralegal she knew my situation right off and and told me she JUST VERIFIED with the collection firm on XXXX the debt for this company was actively being paid! She explained to me the many unfair loop holes that can take place with debt collectors selling debts and judgement tactics used. She asked was I served papers for this debt? I explained, No! I was mailed a copy of the Court Simmons. I was never provided any Original Account Terms Agreement showing this new debt, or Proof of any Collection attempts for this new debt, no proof of signatures from me on this debt to support their claim- NOTHING! Just a notification of a Court Summon showing the complaint and the account number is BLACKED OUT! ( Yeah thats because its the same account! ) She offered to contact this collection firm again to go over more distinct details and verify with them this is the SAME DEBT ACCOUNT! This entire situation has put me through so much mental anguish. I am taking this matter against this law firm as far as it can go!

I honestly do n't know who is worse, this shady/crooked " law firm '', or the medical group that hired these XXXX. My wife, who was off of work due to a high-risk XXXX, while I myself was XXXX, had to have an emergency XXXX due to complications with labor. After the emergency XXXX, she got an XXXX, which made her be off from work even longer than expected, a total of 12+ weeks. Even with short term XXXX ( 60 % of pay ), with a family of four, with a house and other expenses, the medical group sent her/our account to these XXXX for collections, a mere 4 months after the procedure. Do the math, that put her back to work for one month, when the medical group and these bullies, collaborated to bring a suit against her. We never heard anything from this firm of XXXX, until I happened to be browsing our State 's court system website, checking on another matter, that I came upon the case opened. We dug through our stack of bills that we struggled to pay as we could, and I came across the bill for the medical group. I immediately went online to their bill payment system, and even though we did n't have the money really, pad the bill in full, per the amount showing on her account number. I contacted the medical group, and then called this firm to speak to the attorney who opened the case, XXXX XXXX. Instead of having enough fortitude to speak to me directly, she hid in her office, and I had to deal with some bargain basement paralegal, who copped an attitude with me, telling me that we owed an additional {$160.00}. I told her that we settled the bill, and since the case had n't actually been in front of a judge, that we were not paying for any court fees, etc., and that if she/they had a problem with it, to contact the medical group, whose bill was PAID IN FULL. She gave me all the attitude of a spoiled little, daddy 's girl, debutante, that I could handle, and I finally just hung up on her. Fast forward a month later, and these XXXX seriously went to the trouble and effort of opening a case for that additional {$160.00}, which we were not aware of at all, until a judgement had already been made, making it impossible for our side of the story to be heard in open court. It is people of such low morals, with their elitist, bourgeoisie enabling mentality, that fight for the already rich, to take from the poor, to make the rich ( themselves included ), even richer. Preying on working class families, and potentially taking food out of the mouths of small children. If you own a business, do not do yourself the disservice of hiring people like this. In one case, you 're only out money for an unspecified amount of time, and in the other, you have sold your soul to the XXXX, or some other form of XXXX XXXX.

This agency/law firm/debt collector sent collection letters for an extended amount of time to the WRONG ATTORNEY IN WISCONSIN XXXX, WI. Per the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, this complaint closed and the attorney was found to have made the error unintentionally. As of XX/XX/XXXX, a judgement for {$3400.00} was filed and ordered. Currently, incorrect information is listed on this case. The Wisconsin Public Records states for this case has XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, WI as a c/o recipient to receive mail effective XX/XX/XXXX. This information is false. XXXX XXXX was not retained as my attorney for this case on that date. Neither XXXX nor I were aware of any attempt of debt collection prior to XX/XX/XXXX. Dobberstein Law Firm, Attorney XXXX XXXX, admitted to mailing any and all collection documents to the wrong attorney. I, XXXX XXXX, was unaware of attempts for contact or collection in XX/XX/XXXX until I received solicitation letter mail from Bankruptcy Attorneys notifying me that I was being sued. Not only did this law firm send all attempts to collect debt to the wrong attorney, the county court house included the wrong address to send correspondence to after the judgement was filed. I will not receive any documents regarding a pending garnishment, nor will my attorney, since the debt collection law firm made valuable mistakes with legal documents. I was not notified in the proper amount of time to work out a repayment plan before a court date was scheduled. After the court date was ruled in favor of a garnishment, the debt collection law firm continued making mistakes when submitting information to the county clerk. As of XX/XX/XXXX, the name of the representating attorney is correct, but the wrong mailing address. This law firm should be held liable for malpractice.

The tactics of staff when you call Doberstein Law firm is harsh and no way treat people. Originally I was served papers over 1 year ago during the time of the pandemic. There office was closed I left messages attempting to reach as I as well faced with loss job due to pandemic. I appeared at court and the judge advised the attorney and myself to try work things out. I called the office and set up an agreement. The balance was around {$2000.00} and I paid consistently weekly out unemployment funds. I had to end as funds ran out XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. I called XX/XX/21 to advise working now and get something set up. Balance {$690.00} I advised just started working if settlement can do or get weekly payments set to. The rude, dont know how talk people like we filed suit and our client would want us go for suit. WHY? I asked speak with an attorney and advised attorney will advise me same. Im sure person answering phone should not be able advice any legal advice and/or advise what an attorney could advise me. Im trying to pay. No one has called me to follow up on account but when I call its we filing suit. Thats scare tactic and their office was closed so to staff should be understanding if they was without income as we all are now coming out this pandemic. I get it people owe, but if someone is trying you dont turn down accepting something or trying work out options. Better ways to treat n talk to people

I had a credit debt from XXXX which I wasn't able to payback due to my situation at the time. I wasn't released till XXXX. Now, I have received no notifications until XXXX when my employer garnished my wages for a court order from Dobberstein Law Firm , LLC. An lawyer in XXXX, Wisconsin. According to Executive Order 20-50 and in extension 21-02, prohibits such actions with fines and penalties of at least {$25000.00} dollars. I did not receive any summons or notifications from the law firm nor did I receive any notice from my employer prior to garnishing my wages during a pandemic. My employer just took {$400.00} from my wages and sent it. There should have been a form in which gave me the chance to dispute the debt. I have tried to contact said law firm. My employer has tried as well. There has been no response nor any attempt to resolve the situation. And recently, keeping my own tabs on public court information, have I noticed that they have filed and received a extension from the county courts to continue harassing and circumventing proper etiquette pertaining to the case. Based on the dates of last payment cited, the debt has been " time-barred '' since XXXX. The law firm understands this and does not cooperate in resolving this issue.

XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) issued a XXXX to cancel the foreclosure debt in XXXX. In XXXX XXXX sold my information to XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). XXXX XXXX XXXX purchased the information and some how got a judgement against me in a Wisconsin Court. Dobberstein Law Firm contacted me in XXXX stating they had a garnishment against my wages from a court date that happened in XXXX. I was never notified and did not know about the court date to try to show that the debt was cancelled and no longer a valid debt. Several attorneys have told me that it is illegal to " double dip " meaning getting a tax break from the government by issuing a XXXX and then selling the bad information so that another company can collect. I would like for this to stop. I have notified the Dobberstein Law Firm that this was a cancelled debt and they refuse to stop with the garnishment. Stating that it is a different account number.

Dobberdtein Law Firm won a judgement and there was a garnishment stipulation put in place. My debt has been paid in full and I had the proof that indicates that I in fact am due a refund for overpayment of {$62.00}. I presented them which payment check stubs that show the amounts paid per said stipulation and I sent the original document indicating what I owed. Its simple mathematics subtract whats owed from what was paid. Dobberstein is still saying that I have a balance owed, but has not showed any documentation to confirm their position. Neither have they provided any proof to dispute my position. It took me 2 emails and almost 2 weeks later to even get a response and the response is vague and not believable. I feel that they are unjustly targeting and bullying me as per I am a minority and a older woman.

I moved from my residence back in XX/XX/2020, I had no knowledge of the debt because it was not on my credit report. I checked my records because I tried to purchase A home and there was information on Wisconsin 's circuit court access that I was not aware of. I was already paying XXXX XXXX XXXX monthly and did not get notified of another debt. I would have taken care of it as I did the other one but now this is on my records and I would like it removed. I talked to the attorney Dobberstein Law firms at XXXX because they refused to talk to me about this. This is unfair they did not attempt to contact me any other way although my email never changed and my new phone number is listed on the internet.

I received an email from my employer regarding a wage garnishment to take 20 % of my payroll check. The letter was sent from a company by the name of Dobberstein Law. I have no knowledge of this company and have never heard of them. I emailed my payroll and informed them that I am requesting for them to stop the wage assignment as I do not know who this company might be. My payroll is not enough to even pay my current bills let alone be garnished by a company I have no knowledge of. I am submitting this for complaint because I have tried to reach out to this company with no response other then receiving robotic calls. I am asking for this wage assignment to be reviewed immediately. Thank you

Debt collection company obtained judgements and is trying to collect a debt from a credit card. The documents the debt collector has sent me when I requested validation of the debt, would place the opening of the account whilst I was a minor child. I have explained this to the debt collector whom then has attempted to garnish my wages and levy my property for said debt. Judgement is over 15 years old. Therefore, it is my firm belief this debt is either identity theft, or this debt collector is attempting to collect a debt that does not belong to me.
