This is a new and separate complaint about Hodosh and Lyon, a fraudulent debt collection firm located in XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am also making a complaint to the State of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for false conduct of attorneys.
This law firm wrongly and falsely wrote to the CFPB that a debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and/or XXXX XXXX XXXX was litigated at XXXX Superior Court , XXXX # XXXX. The online court docket clearly shows this was a default judgment ( attached ), not a litigated judgment to decision.
Also attached is a false affidavit from that case made by XXXX that references an account ending in # XXXX, but attached to that affidavit is a XXXX XXXX statement ending in # XXXX. Hodosh and Lyon 's demand letter references the same debt ( account ending in # XXXX or # XXXX ), however, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX, has called me twice and admitted XXXX had NO records for the XXXX statement and account ending in # XXXX ( and later changed to # XXXX by XXXX ). No credit application with my signature, no proof of charges I made.
While the alleged originator of debt, XXXX, has admitted they have no proof, Hodosh and Lyon falsely claim this office, in consultation with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, have thoroughly reviewed your account and have concluded that all charges were properly assessed to your account.
Hodosh and Lyon did not stop there. They made additional and intentionally false claims against me by attaching two unrelated statements from XXXX cards in years XXXX and XXXX, ending in # XXXX and # XXXX. They also falsely point to airline travel at that time and charge-offs in XXXX. What was charged off was fraudulent activity!! Nothing I personally charged.
I am a well-documented victim of identity theft, see police reports attached. Hodosh and Lyon are fraudulent debt collectors who bought an alleged debt that even the originator ( XXXX ) can not prove. They continue to pursue an innocent person by MANUFACTURING alleged proof. Their letter ( attached ) is false as NO proof exists that I ever signed up for the subject XXXX XXXX card ending in # XXXX, which account was allegedly changed to XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX. This debt collection firm needs to have its law license revoked.

I received the attached debt collection letter from the local law firm of Hodosh , Lyon & Hammer, falsely claiming that I had an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX and owed them {$12000.00}. The letter asked for a response before XX/XX/XXXX and also pointed me to the CFPB website to learn what my rights are.
I will send a letter to this law firm denying their false claims, but first wanted to file this complaint after reviewing what the CFPB can do, because I am concerned with the age of this fake debt ( 14 years ) and that it is being pursued anew. I am glad I kept records of the difficulty I have had over the years relative to clearing serious identity theft.
Attached are police reports affirming that I was indeed the victm of identity theft on multiple occasions over 20 years ago. I continually had to fight new charges or new accounts that would pop up and did not belong to me. In early XXXX, I worked with a reconciliation representative of XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) to go through two accounts to determine what was my debt and what was the additional debt caused by identity theft. We came to an agreement of two different amounts and I authorized XXXX XXXX XXXX to deduct those funds from my bank account. They sent me two confirmation letters stating nothing further was owed, also attached.
But a third XXXX XXXX XXXX account also appeared in XXXX. They alleged I had their " XXXX XXXX '' credit card ending in # XXXX ( see statement sent to me ). None of the $ XXXX owed was my debt. I never travelled at the time and received no financial benefit from this travel card. I contacted the same reconciliation department who determined that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXould provide me no written proof that I had ever personally applied for their " XXXX XXXX '' promotion. ThereforeXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was not authorized to deduct funds for this debt.
It appears XXXX XXXX XXXX bought the old false XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card account ending in # XXXX, and hired the Hodosh law firm to falsely claim the debt was originated from them. Again, I have never had a XXXX credit card and am disputing I owe them any money whatsoever.

An attorney for 'XXXX ' ( A credit card company that I had debt with back in XXXX, with a payout in XXXX, apparently got court approval ( without my knowledge ) to garnish {$1300.00} out of my bank account, PLUS another {$120.00} fee. The original debt was about {$4000.00} before I settled and paid less to close the debt. They are saying I now owe them {$12000.00}!!! ( with all the interest over the years )!!
My husband and I obtained a mortgage in XXXX, and part of the mortgage process required me to settle any unpaid debts, in which I did ( or I wouldn't have gotten the mortgage! ). I recall settling this debt, although I can not find the paperwork to prove it.
I thought to contact the mortgage company, who would have all of my credit information from that time, but they went out of business is XXXX.
Since credit reports and credit bureaus only go back about 7 years, I can not get a hold of the information to clear this up. My credit rating is good, and I have no 'strikes ' on my record according to XXXX Credit bureau XXXX
This debt is about EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD now ... .. how is this even legal??

20 years ago, while attending college I opened some credit cards. Last year I purchased a home, and resolved all credit issues at that time. Since then, I have been receiving numerous mailings from random collection agencies.
Upon arriving at work today, a coworker signed paperwork from a constable to garnish my wages.
I called the Attorneys representing the collector, whom in my opinion are actually collection agencies! I believe this is harassment and I 'm so upset, that I can not perform my work today.
the harassing attorneys office is HODOSH LYON & HAMMER LTD, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX.

I received a letter stating I owed a debt. I sent a debt validation letter back and did n't receive validation but did receive another letter for debt payment. I clearly stated in my validation letter not to contact me or continue to try and collect without validating the debt.

I have received a debt collector letter stating I owe a debt. I have never owned a credit card nor do I know this bank. I do think they have the wrong person on the account.
