I have asked for validation and verification on several occasions and these people have not been able to validate and verify pursuant to 15USC1692g, and 15USC1681. This DEBT COLLECTOR XXXX , XXXX, or any of their constituents have not been able to give me anything that substantiates information I have asked for. So this DEBT has sufficiently been disputed. This DEBT COLLECTOR XXXX , XXXX, FEDERATED LAW GROUP, PLLC has sent me a notice of lawsuit filed, but since this is a communication from a DEBT COLLECTOR they would have to take the consumer to a UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT to get a competent jurisdiction to say that I owe them anything which they have not been able to show. These individuals have put entries into my personal credit reports and they have been disputed but they still show up as my account. I did not give them my private non-public information so I do not know how they obtained it. This is IDENTITY THEFT PURSUANT TO 16CFR603.2. I have asked these DEBT COLLECTORS to CEASE AND DESIST contacting me but they continue to do so They have harmed my consumer natural person pursuant to the ( FDCPA ) Fair Debt Collection Practices Act 15USC1692c, d, e, f, g, and j respectively. I have contacted this DEBT COLLECTOR on several occasions and they continue to contact me with their blatant attacks on my character, and i am feeling ashamed, embarrassed and I do not sleep much because of my Credit Report being torn apart just because I want to secure things for my personal, family or household use.. I did not give my permission for this DEBT COLLECTOR to contact me pursuant to 15USC1692c. I never asked this DEBT COLLECTOR to open up any account in my name with my Social Security Number or any of that. This Debt Collector needs to Cease and Desist Collecting on something that I do not owe them. This Debt Collector continues to try to get me to contract with them. I did not agree to have my information shared with this DEBT COLLECTOR XXXX XXXX, FEDERATED LAW GROUP, this is aiding and abetting fraud on the Consumer who is a natural person.

XXXX XXXX purchased a credit card debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX, assignee of XXXX XXXX and hired FEDERATED LAW to represent them in the Court of law in order to collect on the debt. On XX/XX/XXXX, a lady named XXXX who claimed to be with law enforcement agency and wearing a " badge '' and shorts, t-shirt, flip flops, came to my place of employment with her XXXX small children. She was asked to leave by human resources and to contact me at home. She left and then immediately called my place of employment again, being harassing. She left her number and I called her to try and set up an appointment and all She stated was someone would be out next week to my home address, which I verified with her, as I believe she was trying to give me Court papers. Instead, On XX/XX/XXXX, she showed up again at my place of employment. I asked her to please wait outside as I was getting ready to leave work and I would meet with her. I came out and she was still inside. I told her I needed to use the restroom. She said " really '' I said yes. Then when we got outside she continued to stand by the employee entrance area. I said this is embarrassing and why didn't anyone come to my residence. She accused me of avoiding her and threatening to fine me. They took me to court and Sued me and unfortunately the judge sided with them which I disagree with. Not only violating the FDCPA, the company failed to provide evidence that I owe the debt and that they have a claim in the debt. I asserted lack of standing not to mention being threatened, harassed and humiliated at my workplace.
