After 2-3 years of receiving phone calls from this particular collection agency, I decided to call them and make payment arrangements. about 2 years prior to my calling, I shared with them that the reason why I could n't pay was because I was out of work, with no income due to a XXXX, but the calls continued every day. So on this particular day around XX/XX/XXXX, I called them to make payment arrangements because I was tired of the calls. The young lady quoted a high monthly figure over {$100.00}. I stated that I could not afford that. During this conversation, she used harsh tones that I made her aware of. She then stated that she could reduce the amount to {$100.00} monthly. I told her that was still too much. She stated she could n't go any lower. We had a verbal altercation and she boldly told me that the company had a lien on my house. There after the call ended with a payment due on the XXXX of every month. Around the XXXX of the month, I made a {$50.00} payment through my online banking, they received it XXXX XXXX, 2015. On XXXX XXXX, 2015, I received a phone call from the same young lady stating that I did not abide by the verbal agreement of {$100.00}. I told her that I could not afford {$100.00} monthly that is why I sent {$50.00}. She was extremely rude. About XXXX minutes after that call, I called back, she answered and I asked to speak with her supervisor. I got a voicemail of a male. I could not hear his name because it was n't clear enough. I left a message. Moments later, I wrote a letter to the company about my experience with their rude employee. I then faxed it and sent a copy by certified mail. On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I called back looking for the supervisor but was unsuccessful. On XXXX XXXX, 2015, I received what I call a threatening letter from the company which had no signature. On XXXX XXXX, I received {$50.00} from a friend to pay to make another payment because I did not want them to put a lien on my checking account like I was told they could do. My bank showed a payment date of XXXX XXXX, 2015, so I called the company XXXX XXXX to confirm the payment. The young man said he did not see a payment posted. I then called my bank and it was stated that they mailed the company the check on XXXX XXXX. I called the company back and told them that they should have received the check. The young lady told me they did not receive it and that they do n't control the mail. I told the young lady I believed someone was playing games and to post my check. Words were exchanged. I told her that I sent a fax. She said " We did n't receive a fax. '' I told her that I also sent a letter. She said in a concerning way, " You sent a letter? '' I said " Yep '' she asked " What was in it? '' I told her if my check was n't found soon, I would be obtaining a lawyer. she said " That 's your prerogative. '' I said " When shall I call back? '' she said " In a few days. '' I said " What is a few days. '' She said " Just a few days. '' I said " What is a few days? '' she said " Wednesday. '' I called back on Wednesday XXXX XXXX and was told they received the check on Monday XXXX, 2015.

When I applied for a home mortgage refinance loan in XXXX XXXX, the closing attorney found a judgment against my property. The judgment is not against me, but against XXXX XXXX XXXX, my ex-husband, and against my property, property that I purchased from him in XX/XX/XXXX. The judgment was also filed in XX/XX/XXXX. The debt collection agency is Dominion Law Associates, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Virginia XXXX, VA XXXX. The debt is to XXXX XXXX Bank ( I assume it is a credit that XXXX XXXX XXXX had ). I made call after call to XXXX XXXX XXXX, the attorney at Dominion Law Associates with no success XXXX her number is XXXX ). I have also made a number of calls to XXXX at XXXX, ext. XXXX and have not been able to accomplish much toward resolving this problem. Bottom line : The default judgment is entered against my property, but not against me. The default judgment is against my ex-husband XXXX XXXX XXXX. I can not finish my home mortgage refinance application until the judgment is lifted. A decision was announced today that the Fed is going to raise interest rates by XXXX a point which will cost me money for years to come because of the incompetence and lack of concern on the part of Dominion Law Associates through no fault of my own. On XX/XX/2015, I made payment in full of {$2200.00} to Dominion Law Associates to pay off the debt, and get the judgment released so my banker and attorney could continue with my mortgage refinance. I made this payment using my debit card, and XXXX told me a printed receipt would be mailed to me the following day. After 2 weeks, and numerous follow up calls by me, Dominion Law Associates finally sent sent me a printed receipt showing I made the payment. XXXX told me the judgment should be released within 30 days. XXXX XXXX XXXX, the attorney at Dominion Law Associates, told me on XXXX XXXX I should not have to pay a debt I did n't owe, and she was going to see what she needed to do to correct it. It is almost impossible to get any information from Dominion Law Associates, even though I am not at fault here, in any way, shape, or form. There is no public record in the XXXX XXXX, NC court system that the judgment was ever against me. The judgment is clearly against my ex-husband, and has been erroneously entered and is affecting me financially.

I never received the notice of right to dispute, instead I received a letter with a court date attached. I called once I received the information regarding my court date in order to settle the debt. When I called, I was greeted by a rude individual by the name XXXX ( XXXX ), she refused to let me ask my questions, told me she was n't going back and forth then hung up on me. I called back and received the same treatment from her. I asked to speak to her supervisor and was told she was one and that there was no one above her. I again tried to get information regarding my debt from her however it turned rude again and she again would not allow me to ask my questions. I admit at this time I had enough of her attitude and did start to get snippy however I just wanted to know how to get backup regarding the debt owed so I could pay the bill. She again hung up. I called back a third time, she answered, heard my voice and hung up. I called back a 4th time, each time hoping I would get someone else, and this time she picked up the phone and hung up immediately. I called back a 5th time, yes a 5th time, and this time spent 53 minutes in a continuous loop before the evening message finally took over. I called back the following day and spoke to XXXX, who promptly told me that my medical records are there and I would receive a copy. That would be a HIPAA violation which I will file a complaint on next. She too said she does not have a supervisor however I finally got the name XXXX out of her. I have not pursued this person yet. I have since spoken to the original creditor who was helped me on this matter and the debt will be paid though them. I do plan on following up at the court date as I do n't trust this collection company at all. I wanted to validate the debt and could n't even get a voice in to do so.

They sent me a letter in mail saying pay in full. But I 'm still not working and have XXXX money in bank they only thing I can afford is {$15.00} a month until I 'm employed and I 'm more than willing to make higher payments. My father co sign but I 'm responsible for the loan he is n't working either and have medical bills because he had XXXX and had to have XXXX last year. He had a total of XXXX XXXX in 7 months the most recent in XXXX 2015. When he cosign he had no idea I would n't be working and could n't pay. Every month XXXX XXXX XXXX keep sending loan to different law offices. So I 'm responsible and just need to make monthly payment plans or a rehabilitation program that I was n't offered by original loan.

I disputed the account and ask that they validate this account, and they fail to respond to the action. The law states they have 30 days to do so if not or over the 30 days this account must be removed from the credit file and in this case, they fail to respond to the matter. It has been over 30 days with no response, and I did not open or authorize this account, and I therefore request that it be closed immediately. By the federal law requirement this account must be removed because you do not have proof or any evidence to support this matter and failure to respond. I request that you take all appropriate steps to remove the information about this account from my credit files.

consumingIn XXXX we talked about my debt. Then they call me again in XXXX. Using treating language, and failed to notify me of any court dates. I am retired and live on a fixed budget. I told them this but they persist and got a Judgement of 6 %, that they charge anytime they like. Plus change me for the court case, so all the money I pay was consumed by their tactics. Some of what they do should not be legal or allowed. If I am paying then they should not be consuming it up with legal fees. They company who hired these crooks is responsible.
