I would like to inform you that I received this notice from your attorney on Friday, XX/XX/2023 via XXXX. Along with the notice was a reimbursement for my check I sent. The date on the check is for XX/XX/2023. However, the notice is dated XX/XX/2023. The letter states the amount of {$2000.00} does not resolve the balance. That is the exact amount that was stated in the first notice from your attorney. I called the number listed on the letter and I find it odd the number is disconnected. I called the number on the first notice and that was the law firm but it is the housing foreclosure department. The lady on the phone directed me to the correct department. Your onsite staff and now your attorney are running scams. Nothing on these documents sent by your attorney are legitimate. Nothing your onsite staff has sent me is legitimate. I have been locked out of my account so I can't see the total rent and utilities due When I ask your staff how much is due the amount changes every time When I try to pay via XXXX it's declined because I do not have access to the correct exact amount that is due. When I drop off a payment no one is there to accept it and there are checks falling out of the drop box When I mail a check to corporate it gets lost and not posted to my account Because I can't see the amount due because I am locked out of my online account, I have to wait for the 10 day notice By the time I am able to reach you all to pay what is listed on the notice you add additional fees No one will state what is actually included in legal fees. First you said legal fees were {$620.00} then you changed it to {$650.00}. I would like to know why the first notice received from your attorney on XXXX XXXX states I have until XX/XX/XXXX to pay or dispute the charges owed. The numbers listed are for the incorrect department. I would like to know why the check amount that I sent was reimbursed on XX/XX/XXXX and I didnt receive the check until XX/XX/XXXX, which was my last day to dispute or pay. Also, your attorney had my check in possession during my court date XX/XX/XXXX. I would like to know why I received my payment back on XX/XX/XXXX with a notice dated XX/XX/XXXX? The notice has a disconnected number. Additionally, I have been told since Monday that the attorney would reach out to me to answer the above questions. I called today Thursday, XX/XX/2023, and left a voicemail on the office number and cellphone number listed in the email the attorney sent me. I then received a call back stating that the attorney was proceeding to file the writ today. The attorney still has not sent me any sort of written documents.

XXXX XXXX is now falsely acting as Attorney-In-Fact for XXXX XXXX and has changed and or added documents to my original files at the county recorder in XXXX County Georgia. I have never hired XXXX XXXX for anything. I have never met anyone from XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX is trying to commit fraud on my behalf, and attempt to transfer my property to another party without my consent. The new party that XXXX XXXX says that they represent is now XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. These entities are asking me to transfer my property to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I DO NOT HAVE ANY CONTRACT AGREEMENTS WITH XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, ALSO I DO NOT HAVE ANY CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENTS WITH XXXX XXXX. I'm being harassed by XXXX XXXX now on the behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. By staying in honor, I've ask both entities to show proof where they've given XXXX XXXX , Estate or XXXX XXXX any value. They failed to respond to my Affidavits. Therefore, I assume they are attempting to fraudulently receive value from me and or my estate. I've sent cease and desist affidavits to both entities, who both failed to respond. Now XXXX XXXX is saying I lose by default and my property is in foreclosure, and I and requested to transfer my property to HUD, or XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Again, I have never taken a loan from XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX or XXXX XXXX. They have no right to contact me to defraud me. They have never given me value and they will never receive value from me. I'm requiring your office to demand these entities to cease and desist with their attempts to contact me, XXXX XXXX or my estate, XXXX XXXX, Estate about any debt. If they can show where I signed a contract with them, then I'm willing to settle any and all debts owed to them. They never respond when I ask, because it is false.

On XX/XX/2023, I received a debt collection notice from Albertelli Law requesting that I respond to the notice. On XX/XX/2023, I responded to the notice by paying the amount requested on the notice. On XX/XX/2023, I received a XXXX package from Albertelli Law with a refunded check for the exact amount I sent. The check that was sent back was dated XX/XX/2023. Along with the check was a notice dated XX/XX/2023, stating that the amount sent was not the correct amount owed and that the eviction would proceed. On XX/XX/2023, I called the number listed on the notice that was sent on XX/XX/2023, and the number was disconnected. I also called the number listed on the notice received on XX/XX/2023, and was told that was not the correct number as it was for foreclosures. The lady on the phone gave me the number for the evictions. On XX/XX/2023, I received an email from Albertelli Law stating that a response to my questions that I sent to the landlord would be responded to. On XX/XX/2023, I emailed the attorney to let them know I was still awaiting a response. On XX/XX/XXXX, I left voicemails for the attorney at the office and on the cell number listed in the previous email. I finally received a call back and the attorney stated they were filing a writ of possession. I then received an email with the same information. I responded that I had not received an answer to my questions. As of today XX/XX/2023, the attorney still has not given me the requested information.

On XXXX XXXX ,2017 my husband and I closed on a Foreclosure property with a notary at our primary home with my husband as the borrower. During the closing I stated that the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX should have been titled in both names, I was told that once I signed the mortgage note that I would be added to the new deed and title. That did not happen, the deed was received in the mail on XXXX / XXXX / 17 and only listed my spouse. I spoke with my lender who indicated that the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX should be in both names, we attempted to contact the closing agent and was advised that any changed would need to be completed in the form of a new deed with a cost to us because the contract, title and deed must match. However, I live in Florida joint property state and do not understand why this was not explained to us prior to closing and receiving the deed and title. I am very upset that I now need to pay a second attorney fees and the same fees to my county to corr ect a deed that the original closing attorney was paid to process and file. This does not seem correct to me because our first home has both names on the deed, title and mortgage insurance however I am on the only person covering the note.
