02/26/2018	Yes	Debt collection Credit card debt	Attempts to collect debt not owed Debt was result of identity theft	WA 98632	Web
Gordon, Aylworth & Tami, P.C., on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX sent me a summons and complaint that they were suing me for {$590.00} for a XXXX XXXX account I had never opened nor authorized. I did not ever receive any communications from XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, or Gordon, Aylworth & Tami, P.C., and had no knowledge regarding the fraudulent account, until I was handed the summons at my door on XX/XX/XXXX. I filed an appearance and an answer to the complaint, denying that the debt is mine and that I was a victim of identity theft. According to the papers sent by the attorney, there is a statement of charges totaling approximately {$220.00}, which were not made by me. I have not received any documentation with my signature either, showing that I opened or authorized the alleged account with XXXX XXXX. I was only sent generic copies of papers from XXXX XXXX and papers from various firms, including XXXX XXXX, with a data file account blacked out, but nothing that specifically states or validates that they purchased an alleged account with my name, or were authorized to collect on alleged account. ( which they would have been fraudulently collecting on, since I did not open or authorize any account under my name! ) The account, per the documents I was sent, was opened in XX/XX/XXXX, and was closed in XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX I was contacted by USPS and also had contact with the IRS, regarding someone attempting to change my address to an address in XXXX. As I had not known about nor heard about this debt, which is not mine, until a little under a month ago, I feel my rights as a consumer have been blatantly violated, because I had not received any prior communication or notification regarding the fraudulent debt from XXXX XXXX, or XXXX XXXX, until I received the summons at my door, that I was being sued, on XX/XX/XXXX. So, from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, I had no knowledge of the account, nor communication from the aforementioned companies, that would have enabled me to properly dispute the account and charges in a timely manner. Thank You for your time and attention to this matter. Respectfully, XXXX XXXX

On XX/XX/2020, Sunday at XXXX an intimidating, XXXX man showed up at my door.He had no identification and was wearing plain clothes. He stated he was from XXXX XXXX. ( Not GAT ) I told him through the door to leave the mail in floor in front of my door. I have attached what he left on my door mat. Misrepresented Court Documentation Please note : The man left a loose packet of papers. There was no envelope.The paperwork says Summons. There is no summons number. There is no notice to appear report date, time, or location. The packet is missing a page ( s ) as noted by the remnants of a page ( s ) still being attached to the stapler on the left side of the paper. The document is in different fonts and sizes. Apparently, this case was filed on XX/XX/XXXX.The response ( see attached ) to my first letter states that I must respond before XX/XX/2020. How could this case be filed in court prior to the required response date? Also, it is XX/XX/2020. I have not received a response to my second certified correspondence ( sent in XXXX ) asking to resolve this amount for 15 % of the amount you are asking, due to me being non-renewed at my job. I also shared that the original debt bought by your client was due to Hurricane Harvey. My family and I had to relocate and I ended up filing for unemployment. The documentation that you previously provided does not justify the amount that you are stating that I owe. The amount that you are seeking is inflated considerably. I do not have the money you seek. I am asking that you cease communication with me or send official Court Correspondence. The packet you sent ( with pages missing ) did not provide me any documentation regarding the court report date or time to appear. It is missing a summons number, which will make it hard for the court to identify the case. If I fail to appear a warrant will be issued for my arrest.

On Saturday, XX/XX/XXXX, an intimidating man with large knuckles appeared at my home and I was hesitant to open the door but eventually did as he was walking to his car. He claimed to be a process server but did not provide me with any kind of identification or business card for me to verify this information. He handed me a packet which claimed to be an electronically filed court case from the " DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON FOR XXXX COUNTY XXXX DIVISION - XXXX COURTHOUSE '' .I did not sign to receive it. I called the phone number on the packet which lead me to Gordon, Alyworth, & Tami, P.C. Attorneys at Law where I spoke to a person named XXXX ( I may be mistaken, he only gave it once and it was very brief ). During the call I asked many questioned to clarify what this packet was about and what my options were. XXXX (? ) was very quick to give me the run around regarding options and at one point explicitly said " I did not tell you that option because I did not think you had any money '' which I took great offense to. Upon hearing that, I made sure to reiterate the things XXXX was telling me as well as ask if that were all the options for next steps possible. Initially XXXX only presented me with 2 options, but by the end of the 16 minute call, I had 3-4 options. Later on, I personally visited the county clerk website to see if such case existed and there was no such case against me. After consulting with an attorney I have also found that the packet that was delivered to me had no signature from the county clerk, no reference number, no court date, and no case number. Its contents were : the appearance of a summons, a copy of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX WA business license, and a " case information cover sheet '' allegedly from the XXXX county district court house

XX/XX/2020 To Whom It May Concern, I was never given notice before being garnished from my check by XXXX on behalf of Gordon, Aylworth, & Tami PC. for 10-11 % of my weekly net pay. ( Case ID : XXXX ) I am XXXX and this has caused a hardship for me. I can not pay my rent now. I was not notified about a judgement or given any opportunity to present my income and explain my hardship and show my bills. I need this to stop immediately. I need to know what the debt is and who it is from. If it is legitimate, I can only afford to pay {$5.00} per week at most. I need legal assistance. This is an unfair and predatory debt collection practice. It cant legal. Its definitely unethical. I can not believe that they are allowed to garnish my pay without explaining anything to me or giving me any prior notice. Please assist me with getting this resolved and legal and regulatory guidance. Update : Today, I just found out that it was from a XXXX XXXX. I haven't been able to review the account history to know if it was mine. I had a XXXX XXXX card in XXXX. I'm told that I was sued by XXXX XXXX and I live in XXXX now. Additionally, the garnishment letter was dated XXXX, postmarked XXXX and mailed from Texas to XXXX. I was garnished on XXXX. I just received the letter about one day ago. I was not notified before it happened. There were no other correspondences from any of them before this.

I really didn't know anything about the situation that was happening to my friend. I guess this was an old credit card debt from years ago. First I heard of this situation was this last XXXX XXXX. She told me that this lawyer/ collection office ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has sued her and is garnishing her account. Which she is on SSD support to help her survive. She is paranoid XXXX. They already have a judgement she said on her account and started taking money out. This is when I heard of what is happening. She asked if I could use one of my credit cards to pay them off so I have money for my needs from my XXXX. I said finally ok. I had her call to pay the full amount. She asked them for some kind of discount it's paid today in full. They said no. Oh, I don't know anything about the above situation but something just doesn't sound right I told her. This is where my complaint originated. I received my XXXX XXXX bill and this company processed the payment as a wire transfer. I looked up their payment process and it states on checks/ debit card they might do a wire transfer. So, I tried to help a friend and pay her bill and get charged a wire transfer fee of {$81.00} and interest of {$8.00}. Total of {$90.00}.

It appears that one collection agency is attempting to collect for another collection agency, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I have never personally borrowed from or have owed money to XXXX XXXX, only to credit cards which are not being named in the suit. I do n't even recognize the name XXXX XXXX. It has been over 15 years since the last time I made a payment to the true creditors in question, yet the attorneys and collectors of Gordon , Aylworth & Tami , P.C . continue to serve me with writs of garnishment, even though the Statute of Limitations has long since passed. As I and my family are living below the poverty level as it is, it would be impossible for me to repay this debt they ask for anyway. Knowing that the Statute of Limitations has long passed, I consider myself to be naturally bankrupt, as I can not afford to pay for the services of actually filing. They say I owe {$15000.00}, though they never mention the name ( s ) of the original creditor ( s ), nor acknowledge that they have been hounding me for over 15 years. Please advise me and help me in any way you can to maintain my rights under the State of Oregon 's Statute of Limitations laws.

On XX/XX/2019, I returned by mail with receipt the written interrogatories that the company sent me. Included in that was my sworn statement that I was NOT employed and that I was receiving Social Security XXXX On XX/XX/2019, I received a notice of garnishment from the attorney that is the subject of this dispute. I called and talked to XXXX and then to XXXX, explaining that I had not worked for the company listed for almost a decade and that the ownership had changed. XXXX told me that he had information that I was currently employed by the company. I said I would like a copy of that information as I had just made a sworn statement that I was not employed. I asked if they intended to take me to court for perjury since they claimed to have proof that I was employed and XXXX said No. I live in a small town and I don't think that this debt collector should be able to contact people that I previously worked for and issue garnishments for wages, which is informing people, that are NOT my employer, that I owe a debt.

This is a blantant disregard of my rights under the FDCPA as once they were notified I have an attorney, all communications should be through my attorney.

So basically, they sent my information to third parties who were never authorized or allowed to have my financial information, and I had never worked for.

And now their lawfirm XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX. has the case, for which they deliberately refused to accept payment over the phone even when I had the entire balance in whole at the time.
