XXXX XXXX LEFT IN XX/XX/XXXX. I PURCHASED THE BUSINESS FROM HIM. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION WE PURCHASED XXXX XXXX AT XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX GEORGIA VIA SBA FUNDING. AFTER DETAILED RESEARCH IT WAS REVEALED 1. THE SBA APPEARED TO HAVE NOT PROVIDED FUNDING FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE BLDG REFERENCED, 2. OTHERS SUCH AS THE BROKER AND ASSOCIATION MEMBERS WERE INVOLVED IN POSSIBLE UNETHICAL WAYS TO OBTAIN MONEY WHILE UTILIZING ME CREDIT AND NAME DUE TO ME BEING A MINORITY, 3. THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL LEVEL OF PROVIDE SBA FUNDING BY XXXX XXXX WHICH IS A PRIVATE BROKER WHICH BENEFITTED ALL MENTIONED, 5. THE OFFICE BLDG CONTAINED 5 DIFFERENT SUITES WITH 5 DIFFERENT ADDRESSES, EACH SUITE WAS SOLD SEPARATELY. EACH SUITE WAS BEING USED AS COLLATERALS FOR ADDITIONAL LOANS WHICH APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN DESIMINATED AMONGST A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS RANGING FROM BROKERS TO POLITICAL HEADS. THE APPROXIMATE AMOUNT OF MONEY ILLEGALLY OBTAINED BY THESE INDIVIDUALS WAS CLOSE TO XXXX XXXX DOLLARS WAS PROVIDED TO OTHER PARTIES UTILIZING MY NAME CREDIT AND COPYING AND PASTING MY SIGNATURE THROUGHOUT VARIOUS PARTS OF THE LOANS PACKAGES, I CAN NEVER RECEIVE ACCURATE AND CORRECT INFORMATION FROM FUNDING SOURCES AND IN ADDITION, THE BUILDING IS FILED ON MY CHAPTER XXXX BANKRUPTCY. I CAN NOT IMAGINE THE REPRESENTING LEGAL COUNSEL NOT BEING AWARE OF THE UNETHICAL PRACTICES WITHIN THIS CONDO ASSOCIATION. THEY ARE THE GATEKEEPERS OF BOTH BYLAWS AND FUDICIARY DOCUMENTATION. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THERE HAS BEEN OVERPAYMENT OF CONDO DUES WHICH ARE APPROXIMATELY 1100.00. THE BOARD AND ATTORNIES, I AM SURE BOTH PARTIES WERE AWARE OF BOTH THE LAND AND SUITES BEING SOLD SEPARATELY. I DO BELIEVE THIS WAS A COMMON PRACTICE THROUGHOUT THE OFFICE PARK.

The hoa attorney tried to add more money to my Hoa account, and using scare tactics to try and get me into a consent order. They-she refused to ever tell me what my true balance was in our settlement talks, I believe it was a lie just to conceive me into signing this consent order, when going over the bill. I never saw a settlement amount in the ledger they sent me. She also further stated her attorney fees was over $ XXXX for an illegal foreclosure that was suppose to voided out however, she still sent me information as though they should have been justfied. I have hired an attorney and plan to take action up with the state bar, and further a lawsuit The Hoa submitted a letter saying that I owed this $ XXXX in fees and when I disputed it, I was told that it would have to be paid to Clear the ledger when I was closing on my home I sold or that I would n't be able to close, the closing attorney informed me to take the action up with them on my own.

Dorough & Dorough LLC a debt collector for XXXX XXXX XXXX was ordered to cease and desist in XXXX for charging astronomical fees and interest and threatening foreclosure to residents without XXXX board approval .They went on to disrupt XXXX meetings and even filed garnishments against homeowners after the cease and desist order was issued and in place. Protests by residents led to them being fired .They further continued refusing to turn over files to a new contracting debt collector and disrupting continuation of operation of the XXXX. They somehow reappeared in XXXX without a meeting informing owners of their presence. Dorough & Dorough consistently uses threats and not above board practices like adding additional fees and interest to an initial debt from XXXX even after payments have been made that far exceeds the initial debt. Inability to furnish complete details for charges being assessed, and garnishment against homeowners. In particular, although we agreed via a legal settlement document in XX/XX/XXXX that they would remove the judgement and Writ of Fifa consistent with the agreed payment schedule they have reneged on the settlement agreement and instead have fabricated additional amounts of interest and fees and is now attempting to extort additional monies for removal of the Writ of Fifa. A copy of signed judgement settlement contract and proof of payment is attached.

The debt was being paid thru chapter XXXX bankruptcy. When we were dismissed from the bankruptcy, the HOA turned the debt over to a law firm. A judgment was entered for the debt. I contacted the attorney ( XX/XX/18 ) to dispute the amount that they said that we owed. I was informed by the attorney that she would speak to the HOA board and call me back. I never received any call back from the attorney. We were not provided with validation of the amount. Approximately 21/2 weeks later I discovered that both myself and my husband had been garnished at the same time without notice. This created extreme financial hardship because we were left with XXXX dollars in our bank accounts. I contacted the law firm and the paralegal denied that anyone had ever spoken to me even though I informed her of my telephone record ( the date and length of the call, 13 minutes and 7 sec ). The paralegal stated that they did not have my new address or any notation in the computer regarding me disputing the amount owed ( it was given to the attorney during the telephone call on XX/XX/18 ). She also informed me that both husband and wife are garnished at the same time so that they " can collect the max amount quickly for their clients '' and that they didn't care that all income was deleted and left a family in distress. Unfair practice used to collect a debt.
