I have a judgment related to an old credit card debt that I tried to dispute using a negligent attorney more than 10 years ago. The judgment was sold to a company named XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX who in turn engaged the law offices of HIDAY & RICKE, PA for collection. On XXXX XXXX, HIDAY filed a motion at XXXX XXXX courts to attach a lien on my car ( XXXX ) in an attempt to collect the judgment debt. I was planning to file Chapter XXXX at the time and decided not to file an opposition to that motion. However, I did not know and was not notified either in said motion or by any other type of communication from HIDAY ) that the same lien that attached to my XXXX was going to be attached to my adult daughter 's car ( MINI Cooper ) which she had purchased in XXXX XXXX. She jointly owned the MINI with me because I had purchase a car for her in XXXX when she was not XXXX and had to be in title with her and when she purchased the Mini Cooper in XXXX the dealer recommended that I stayed in title with her on this new car. The problem is that HIDAY 's lack of notice to me of the lien on the Mini Cooper has caused the following problem. Not knowing that the MINI had a second lien attached by HIDAY, my daughter traded in said car at XXXX Case Dealer and leased another vehicle. 6 weeks after the trade in, XXXX XXXX notified our daughter of the second lien on the MINI Cooper and decided to sue her for Breach of Contract and Fraud because she trade in a car that had no clean title. We contacted HIDAY to find out how much money they were willing to accept for the release of the lien, and the Recovery Agent named XXXX XXXX XXXX told us that they were willing to accept {$4000.00} for the release. A week later I called her again to confirm this information and she told me that she never mentioned amounts for release and that I only called her to inform her that we have filed bankruptcy! I filed bankruptcy with my wife on XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX as well as HIDAY were notified by the Bankruptcy court. I did not have to call them to notify them of anything and the only purpose of our call was to find out the amount to release the lien. She also told me on the call that XXXX XXXX had called her the day before and that she told them that {$10000.00} was the amount that needed to be paid to HIDAY to release the lien. XXXX times that I spoke to XXXX I had my wife with me on the phone because she is more fluent in XXXX than I am and she had no trouble talking to my wife on the first call when she requested the {$4000.00} to release the lien, but in the second call when she was trying to defend the {$10000.00} amount she was very insulting to my wife and did not want to speak to her. I asked to speak to a supervisor which she told us is XXXX XXXX and I was able to leave a message to her but she has not replied to our call in 3 days. HIDAY improper and unlawful lack of communication and notification of the lien on the MINI Cooper has caused tremendous hardship on myself and my daughter. As you can see from the attached court motion, I was not properly notified of the judgement lien filed on the Mini Cooper. The attached motion which was eventually perfected and recorded in XXXX XXXX public records only mentions the XXXX and not the MINI Cooper. Had it mentioned the MINI Cooper I would have opposed to it within the 20 days I 'm entitled under Florida statues.

XX/XX/2020 I received an email from Hiday & Ricke , P.A . ( Paralegal Mrs. XXXX ). They wanted to settle a debt with a creditor ( XXXX XXXX ) on an auto loan. While I was working during this time my husband and I advised them that we were unable to make any payments more than {$100.00}. This law firm said that they weren't going to accept it because it was going to take too long to pay off. So after speaking with my husband, we were going to see them in court and get it rectified. I received another email and call from Hiday & Ricke stating that I would call her later because I was at work. At this point, we were going to meet them at the courthouse. XX/XX/2020 Hiday & Ricke brought up another offer to do a Consent of Final Judgement for 6 months at {$75.00} then work with Post Judgement after that. At this point, we had decided to go to court and work it out. Then 10 days later, I was terminated from my job. I emailed Hiday & Ricke and told them what was going on. At this point, Paralegal Mrs. XXXX, said that means your husband needs to file Florida Statute 222.11 Head of Household waiver. Then I asked her do we still need to show up in court and she stated that we didn't have to we could sign a Consent of Final Judgement that would stop us from visiting the court. Then my husband and I started receiving court documents via mail stating that they were going to take our vehicles. We still hadn't received a Florida Statute 222.11 Head of Household waiver XXXX XXXX I emailed Hiday & Ricke ( post judgement-Starr Curran ). She stated we could still work out something but they still didn't include the Florida Statute 222.11 Head of Household waiver only their Financial Information document that wasn't helping. XX/XX/2020 We received in the mail from Hiday & Ricke that they were garnishing my husband 's pay of 25 % per pay period which will put us on the streets. We called them and spoke with ( XXXX ). We told her we would hire counsel to take care of this matter because the documents received were stamped by the court XX/XX/2020 and we just received them via USPS on XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/2020 Now, my husband 's pay has been deducted over {$300.00} per pay period that would mean we will lose XXXX of our vehicles and some bills that won't get paid. I do have documentation of the conversations and all of the documents received via USPS that the Florida Statute 222.11 Head of Household waiver was never included. Also, recorded conversation from XX/XX/2020. I believe that this process was maliciously ignored and stepped around to collect a debt.

We have been contacted by a law firm / debt collector a lil over a year and a half ago to collect a debt. We have been paying this whole time. With the prices on everything skyrocketing, we needed help. We requested that Hiday & Ricke work with us on dropping the payments. They very rudely declined to help us any. We ended up having to drop the amount of payment on our own. Since then, this firm has been threatening us with final judgement, now they threatening to get our personal info from XXXX XXXX XXXX. They have sent them XXXX commands to be sent my husbands private info. They have since locked us out of the payment portal. We want them to cease and desist all threatening communication. concern ; We are being threatened and harassed by a debt collector / attorney. We have been paying this firm, Hiday & Ricke PA monthly for a little over a year for a debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. We have not missed any payments. But because of the rising cost of fuel, groceries, and utilities, we have become seriously strapped and had to lower the payments we were giving them. We asked repeatedly asked for help to have the payments lowered. They refused to help in any way. They have put us in final judgement stating we have to pay the {$8100.00} up front. If we can barely pay the monthly {$300.00} without drowning, we def cant pay that amount. Now hes threatening to take a vehicle we are still paying on. We want him to back down and let us do what we can. So in turn, we would like to put a cease and desist order on him so he can not continue to harass and threaten us.

I am writing to you in reference of a collection agency that is giving us a very hard time.The collection agency/ attorneys office is so named XXXX & XXXX XXXX. They were hired by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX Case # XXXX XXXX We do not deny owing this establishment money. However, the problem we are having is with the paralegal, XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX is refusing to work with us in any manner. She, XXXX XXXX, was called by my husband, day after we received the letter in the mail over this debt. XXXX XXXX asked him how much he can pay monthly, and no matter what he told her, she stated, Come on, you can do better. so she then insistedhe make a monthly bill cost sheet. In which she rushed him through, so he missed a few different payments. She came up with saying {$300.00} a month, XXXX told her that was too much, it was going to set us back each month. XXXX XXXX told him, oh well, adjust your other bills. She, XXXX XXXX, told him oh well you can pay this {$300.00} a month, or we will go to final judgement.. XXXX told XXXX this payment is really going to hurt us, can she please work with us, point blank she says No!! At a later date, we gt a letter from IRS, informing us we had to pay in. So, once again, XXXX contacted XXXX XXXX, informing us of the IRS payments and we need the payment lowered. Again, she refused. So, because of her refusal to work with us, we had to adjust the payment ourselves so we could get gas and groceries. So now she sent us a message telling us, we are in default, and had 2 days to make a {$500.00} payment. for the 2 months we paid {$200.00} plus the {$300.00} for the upcoming month, or we could pay the overall payment which is roughly {$8000.00}. We have not missed any payments at all, we have been a cpl days late a cpl times due to the day XXXX check hit the bank. XXXX has each email saved that XXXX XXXX has sent him. XXXX XXXX sent us a letter on XX/XX/XXXX, mine was in the mail, XXXX was through email.. XXXX has requested again that she rewrite this debt payment, but she hasnt responderd. that was on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX. We have been under so much stress, due to all of this. Even the lady thru IRS, was easier to deal with.. Funny thing is, in the letter, she is claiming they have several types of payment plans, but refuses to work with us. If other emails or such are needed, let us know please Thank YOu XXXX & XXXX XXXX

I had a credit card from XXXX that was charged off back in the year XXXX. The account was then later sold to a Florida entity named XXXX XXXX. Around from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX I was on a duty XXXX. Upon my return a year later with no prior correspondence the collection company served my roommate. I showed up to court and made payment arrangements that were inflated with interests. While I was making payment, I called in and inquired about making a payment that consisted of a large sum to be distributed evenly across a number of months. The representative on the phone accepted the payment and they defaulted me the following month for non-payment. I was a student and not working, they placed a lien on my bank account. I had a lawyer submit a file to remove the lien and told them he would be representing me from that point forward. Since then, the attorney has n't received neither calls nor correspondence from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, neither have I. On Monday XXXX XXXX, at about XXXX XXXX a sheriff showed up to my apartment with a court execution order to levy my property. He parked behind my car and forbade me to leave the premises without handing over my car keys unless I wrote him a check for {$4600.00}. I pleaded with them that this car is how I earn my income as a ride share driver, he called a town truck and impounded the car with a notice to resolve the matter in 45 days or the car would be sold. Since then I have filed a Notice to Defendant of Right Against Garnishment, Wages, Money, and Other Property. I contacted the collection agency and the person handling the case advised me to have my lawyer contact them. He has tried for the past three weeks and has n't successfully spoken to anyone except for a secretary who told him someone will return his call. It appears I have n't been giving any choice in this matter. I was under the impression they 'd want their money but instead they rather have me suffer and not earning an income. I do n't understand how this is justifiable. I 'm going 21 days without my car. It 's costing me {$32.00} per day on average to travel to a per Diem job where I 'm only earning {$85.00} before tax. My hands are tied at this point, I just want to resolve this issue. Thank you.

In XXXX, Hiday and Ricke took over account for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was a co-signer on an auto loan back in XXXX. After numerous harassing calls and letters, I explained that I am a single mother of two and i didnt have any involvement in the other party defaulting on the loan. I made arrangements to make monthly payments which I did. However, the company then proceeded to file to have a judgement entered against me for more than XXXX. The company also filed a writ of garnishment against the other party for more than $ XXXXmonth. After not being contacted since XXXX, my employer was served a writ of garnishment last week. I was in no way contacted or notified of this prior to them filing. When I contacted XXXX XXXX, the Garnishment Agent, I was advised that my employer had already been served and that I would need to fill out a financial form for them to consider adjusting the garnishment. The financial affidavit that was attached is extremely invasive. In addition to household expenses, it also asks for bank account information to include savings, checking and routing number. When I submitted the form, no one bothered to respond. Nor was I given an opportunity to file an exemption form or to set up a payment arrangement. The company is using an address I have not resided at in 2 years. When I made attempts to call and email, I did not receive any response. The garnishment is withholding XXXX % of my income per pay period which is over {$300.00}. I am a single mother of two children and I do not receive any additional assistance. This is immensely frustrating and it greatly impacts my ability to provide for my children. I do not understand how anyone could justify withholding % XXXX of someones earnings every pay period in the midst of a pandemic when financial instability is at an all time high. I have sought legal action in this matter. I have the notice to defendant that was filed with the court for documentation.

I was in a car accident dated XX/XX/XXXXand I was falsely accused at fault. I had no support system at the time and I was very young. Anyways, I told the police officer my side of the story, and he cited me a ticket, even though I was the last person he talked too. The person who was actually at fault was the one who stopped in the middle of the bridge, with no hazard lights on while traffic on the opposite side of her was still in motion. My insurance company dropped me, and they did n't pay for no property damages, and no liability damages. ( Please note at that time : liability insurance was not required by the state of Florida ) So the driver that stopped in the middle of the bridge ends up suiting each vehicle that was involved in the accident, it was 4 vehicles total that was involved. So I get a letter from a debt collection agency saying that I owe them XXXX. Little did I know, at that time, I actually did n't owe them a debt, because I never had an account with them. But they are making me sign a contract stating that I owe XXXX and I could settle for {$4500.00}. So I took the settlement for {$4500.00}. I paid them onXX/XX/XXXX, and the next day, I was a victim of ID Theft. So I called them and told them what happened, and now they tell me I owe XXXX all because I did n't pay them as agreed, which I did pay them. I got a letter from on XX/XX/XXXXstating they are going to have my license and registration privileges revoked if I do n't pay the debt that I owe them. Which I do n't owe them anything, because I never had an account with them at all.

I am being abused and harassed by a debt collector from over 10 ( ten ) years ago! A judgement was entered against me in XX/XX/XXXX for a credit card debt that they bought from another company. The name of the current debt collector company is Hiday & Ricke , P.A . located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX. The phone number is ( XXXX ) XXXX. The website is https : //hidayricke.com. The CEO is Attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX I sent them a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX offering to settle the debt for {$500.00} after I was sent a subpoena in XX/XX/XXXX to appear for deposition on XX/XX/XXXX. The debt collector sent me a letter back dated XX/XX/XXXX offering to settle the debt for {$1000.00} and to also send me a satisfaction on judgment. Unfortunately I did not have this amount at the time. In XX/XX/XXXX twenty-five ( 25 % ) of my wages were garnished without warning. As of today XX/XX/XXXX a total of {$5500.00} has been garnished from my wages. This debt collector refuses to settle the debt and instead wants me to pay them a grand total of {$15000.00}. If they were willing to settle the debt two years ago then why cant they make the same offer? My last communication with them was XX/XX/XXXX where I mailed a letter to the CEO of the company as well as sent to him on XX/XX/XXXX. He expects me to satisfy the full debt amount. You will see in my attachments how this is unfair and deceptive business practice on their part without mercy and regard for the consumer and my stressful condition!

I must refinance my home by XX/XX/2023 ; consequently, if the closing does not take place by this date, I will lose my home of ten years. Due to an outstanding debt, there was a lien on the title of my home. While ( successfully ) negotiating a debt settlement amount, the debt collector sent me a letter/notification stating, " Upon receipt and clearance of your payment in the above amount payable to this law firm, we will forward to you a Satisfaction of Judgment '' ( please note the fourth paragraph of the attachment ). My payment, which was wired to the law firm, was cleared and posted the same day. Following three days of no news I contacted the law firm and was informed, " The Satisfaction must be recorded by the clerk of courts office ''. Moreover, " That process takes 6-8 weeks minimum to complete ''. On the advice of my mortgage company, I have made numerous attempts to contact this law firm to obtain an original Satisfaction letter so that I may hand deliver it to the Courthouse and have them immediately record it so that I may obtain a book and page number to satisfy the mortgage company ; I have received no response. I am being ignored.

I originally owed a debt of {$5000.00} to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, for the repossession of a vehicle. My wages started being garnished by Hiday & Ricke, PA. in XX/XX/2011. I went to court and agreed to allow them to garnish {$100.00} per month, which is what I could afford at the time. I am a single mother of XXXX. Since I have contacted Hiday & Ricke, PA on several occasions via phone and e-mail requesting that due to my financial situation I need to decrease the amount being garnished. I was advised that they were unable to do that. I then requested for the garnishment to stop, again I was advised that they were unable to do that and my only option was to offer an amount to settle. The debt was originally {$5000.00} since being turned over to Hiday & Ricke , P.A . it was {$13000.00} as of XX/XX/2011. Since that time the debt has only decreased by about {$2000.00} because interest continues to accrue. I want Hiday & Ricke, P.A., stop garnishment and attempt to work out a payment plan for less than I am currently paying doing to my current financial situation.

On XX/XX/XXXX a judgment was issued against me for a debt less than or equal to {$8000.00}. I was not aware of this debt nor of the original court date. I have asked via calls and for proof of this debt and was never shown proof. On XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote an email to the latest assignee of the Debt, Hiday & Ricke, P.A., out of XXXX a letter to show proof or cease contact as they have placed holds on my accounts and taken them to a negative balance and the have not complied. In that letter, I advised them that for any further collection or contact without proof, I would contact the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Florida Attorney Generals office. I have since received another summons to appear in court on XX/XX/XXXX. In Florida, the " Statute of Limitations on Debt Collection in Florida '' for a judgment, 20 years have passed, and they are still harassing me ( Florida Statutes Section 55.081 ). I can provide the letter I sent them and the email back in XXXX of XXXX.

Hiday & Ricke P.A. of XXXX, FL ( Representing XXXX XXXX ) has our entire bank account of over {$4000.00} on hold for garnishment for a credit card debt with XXXX from 2002 from a previous marriage without any notice at all. Even though my name is on the bank accounts along with my husband, son and my mother, I am on there as a convenience only. Hiday & Ricke has told me that the statute of limitations is 20 years, for credit card debt. However, the limitations is 4 years. XXXX XXXX was not filed. Now that I have purchased a round trip plane fare, filed for an exemption, Hiday & Ricke ( representing XXXX XXXX ) have filed a motion for a telephonic hearing. Because of this, my husband had to get a {$5000.00} loan to cover all our bills including return checks and nsf fees. I really appreciate anything that you can do to help me in this situation.

I refinanced a car via XXXX XXXX. The financing went through a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The car was reprocessed several years later under the agreement late payments could be made and accepted. They reprocessed it and would not return it even with back due payment offered.

The group is called Hiday & Ricke PA attorneys at law XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, FL XXXX. They have bombarded me with phone calls and paperwork for over a year now.

This company has been known online to contact people concerning aged debts which they have purchased from other companies and are trying to collect on. These debts are mostly over 20-15 years old and they have been known to send letters to people stating they will collect and garnish wages. It is illegal to purchase aged debts from other companies and then treat them as if they are new debts. They know this and are preying on those who do n't know their rights. This company needs to be stopped. Here is a link describing some of their practices which include changing the amount of the debts owed on accounts : XXXX. They operate out of Florida with locations in XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX. They had other locations but I guess those closed down.
