This account is a gym membership that was opened as a family account with XXXX XXXX ( address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Kansas XXXX ) with an ex-boyfriend XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. The original contract was per signed contract {$50.00} for a 24 month period ending on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX somehow the payment increased to now a {$70.00} from XXXX with additional late fees and such. XX/XX/XXXX during the time of signing ( XX/XX/XXXX XXXX ) of those payment were processed per bank statements on our joint account, last payment date XX/XX/XXXX. My ex boyfriend went in and canceled our auto renewal and we closed our joint bank account, which we thought would be the last of XXXX XXXXXXXX. XXXX XXXX was bought out by the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) in XXXX they permanently closed this gym articles reflect in XXXX. I never received the original notice that was alleged sent XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Never was given the opportunity to dispute debt and have now since accrued an obscene amount almost double what the original debt In the contract it does state a lot of contradicting information, my contract outlines 24 months and even though this account was closed its going against its breaching its own contract by not abiding by the terms and conditions after initial terms has expired membership will renew for same terms and continue at rate. Numerous of discrepancies with amounts and the debt itself. XXXX XXXX of XXXX i noticed a debt reflecting on my credit, immediately disputed it because that was the first Ive seen or heard about said establishment since closing account. XXXX deleted the debt from my report for : Accuracy There were fraudulent charges made on this account. The contract related to this account has been cancelled. Nothing until XX/XX/XXXX when my employer notified me of a garnishment with XXXX XXXX, immediately said day i go to the court house to seek help and guidance, clerks advised to request a hearing. Hearing date was XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXaid attorney wasnt present at the hearing so judge called XXXX XXXX and proceeded judgement via telephone, the judge didnt even look at the information i gathered nor seemed to care that i was disputing ownership the debt or the default judgement, Ive since left numerous of voicemails at XXXX XXXX XXXX and never get anyone on the phone, the voicemail guideline to prevent a delay in a return call state leave name, employer, last 4 of social & phone number with area code, no response from the office or any means to resolve or challenge the debt, i feel violated and at a loss that i cant defend myself or that my voice isnt being heard and Im now financially insecure for a debt that isnt true or accurate, i feel the office is avoiding me because they are getting the money regardless Im just a check they are collecting on, Im pleading to have this re-examined and the garnishment to reflect accurate dues or gone completely, this is unfair and cant see how this is lawful and not against consumer rights.

XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX noticed that her employment wages were less than her hourly pay from an auto pay that goes to her utility company, so her account was showing as delinquent. XXXX XXXX contacted XXXX, the 3rd party payroll company for a job she started inXX/XX/XXXX, prior to excepting employment with XXXX, XXXX XXXX has maintained a few jobs with her stent of employment lasted 2 years. XXXX emailed XXXX XXXX a judgement for a court date in XXXX out of XXXX XXXX XXXX has been living in XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX was not familiar with XXXX XXXX or Kahrs Law Offices and called the offices hoping the matter would be resolved quickly, since XXXX XXXX is a single income household and is unaware of a gym debt from XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX moved to XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, with the paperwork proving so and would have had zero reason for a membership in XXXX XXXX at Kahrs office ( I had to callback several times and " trick '' the automated system to get anyone to pick up ) XXXX advised me to fax over my ID, which I now realize was NOT a great idea because that was the last time that I 've been able to speak with anyone at Kahrs office. After almost 2 weeks, XXXX XXXX FINALLY received an answer from XXXX ( who also receives a FEE from the garnishment of XXXX XXXX ' wages ) stating that Kahrs will not be releasing her wages. XXXX XXXX requested that she receive ANY paperwork claiming this debt, XXXX XXXX was informed that Kahrs does not have to provide documentation because they received judgement by claiming they 've mailed a letter to an address that XXXX XXXX no longer lived at. XXXX XXXX was informed that that was all that was needed to receive a judgement to steal wages. XXXX XXXX called XXXX County Clerk to obtain court records and found SEVERAL errors on the " judgement '' paperwork that was submitted in court, there was a XXXX address that XXXX XXXX has never stayed, lived nor received mail at or been contacted at. XXXX XXXX has stayed at 2 addresses in XXXX sinceXX/XX/XXXX and the apartments were in the same complex, so where and how did Kahrs office obtain ANOTHER address that XXXX XXXX did not reside at and claim to be trying to " make contact '' to collect? The name of the company that XXXX XXXX recently started at inXX/XX/XXXX, was spelled incorrectly and how did Kahrs find an address that XXXX XXXX had only been at for roughly 2 months and garnish a large amount with no warning nor contact but could not find XXXX XXXX at an address that she lived at fromXX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX? XXXX XXXX was also told that Kahrs had a photo id of her and a signed contract, surprisingly ... this information materialized after Khars office requested a photo ID. It is nowXX/XX/XXXXand XXXX XXXX can not afford an attorney in Oklahoma and Kansas ( which she has to obtain or file bankruptcy or quit a job she just startedXX/XX/XXXX, she is told that is the only way she will be able to protect her income from Kahrs office, whom she does not owe debt too. )

The complaint I have is about Kahrs Law Offices P.A. located in XXXX, Ks. They were handling the debt that my wife owed to a payday loan company. We were served by a sheriff and given paperwork for a court date but could pay the amount of XXXX before then and not go to court. I continuously tried to contact the office to pay off the debt and left all the information that they stated on their answering machine to have them call me back. No one ever answers the phone or bothers to call me back. The day of court my wife could not make it and still no one had called me back. Their office opened at XXXX XXXX so i tried as soon as they opened to contact them. It was at this time that a the woman who 's office it was finally answered the phone, i stated that it was my wife 's account and all I wanted to do was pay the debt of {$600.00} to pay it off. She then told me she could not talk to me, because i was not on the account. I told her my wife was at work and being that she works for a XXXX XXXX it would be hard for her to get time to call her to pay it or put me on the account, and that the time for us to be in court was at XXXX XXXX so i just wanted to pay it to insure that we did not accumulate any other fees. She again informed that she could not talk to me because i was not on the account. So after getting off the phone with her I tried to get ahold of my wife at work and to try and have her give the lady a call for fix it. By that time it was a little past XXXX XXXX when my wife finally got the chance to call her. My wife did not have a lot of time so she put me on the account so i could pay it. When i called back to pay the debt that lady informed me that since it was now after XXXX XXXX that we would now owe them XXXX XXXX dollars. So i paid the XXXX dollars while one the phone with them. After about a month we received paperwork saying my wife 's check would be garnished for the remainder. As check after check was garnished i immediately noticing that more than 400 dollars had been garnished. So I called back to Kahrs Law Offices to see what had happened. After yet again continuously calling getting nothing but answering machines, i finally got ahold of someone. I was then told by this lady that the amount that we owed after missing court was not XXXX XXXX dollars in fact it was XXXX. I asked her why the other lady told me it was XXXX XXXX and she was rude and said I could not tell you why the other lady told you that you only owed XXXX XXXX dollars.

I have contacted Kahrs Law office in regards to a debt that is not owed, and they filed a suit against me. I have even submitted a complaint to my states Attorney General, and submitted a response. I have provided all of my documentation to them via mail, and the attorney general. They are trying to get me to pay the same amount that has been paid twice over. I called XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to ask for the pay off amount was told it was XXXX, and paid it that same evening. Then XXXX XXXX withdrew several more payments from my bank account after the debt was paid in full. I disputed each one with my bank, and received my money back. And had to get new debit cards. Then they sent me to a collection company XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I requested validation without receiving any correspondence. Disputed with credit bureaus again no response. Sent them bank statement and letters. Again no response. I finally sent a payment through my bank account bill pay on XX/XX/XXXX. Also sent a letter to them stating that I sent a payment also no response. My bill pay with the bank I had at the time did not sent a paper check it was an electronic EFT. Sent a letter to XX/XX/XXXX saying that sent a payment , and again asked for validation with no response or validation received. Mr. XX/XX/XXXX is trying to sue a person that does not owe a debt.

As of today, XX/XX/2022, after a conversation with a representative for XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding a seize on my savings and checking account, I can no longer access.

I told the representative I have no debt at that clinic. In order to have access to my bank accounts I must call this specific Kahrs Law Office. I told the XXXX XXXX representative this sounds like a fraudulent activity and Im reporting it. All my income is Social Security XXXX and cant be seized.

I disputed the claimed debt of {$1100.00} to Kahrs Law Offices, P.A. on XX/XX/XXXX by informing them that I do n't owe this money. On XX/XX/XXXX, they sent verification claiming that it is valid debt that is past due ; however, this is a time-barred debt because written contracts in the state of KS is five years, and with XXXX, this goes back to XX/XX/XXXX. In other words, this exceeds the statute of limitations for the state of KS ; therefore, I do n't owe this money they are claiming, and I want all collection practices to stop.

Good afternoon, Kahr 's Law Firm garnished my paycheck despite me disputing this loan. I informed them that I was not aware of the loan. The were not able to provide me anything with my signature just something that was filled out online which anyone could have completed. I was not notified of this debt by the original creditor. I was told that I supposedly took the loan out in XXXX and the garnishment did not happen unlit XXXX 2 years later. Please check into this as I feel that this was a true violation of my consumer rights.

Took a Payday loan with XXXX XXXX for {$600.00}, they let the interest acrue to {$1200.00} before sending it to Kahrs Law Office in XXXX Kansas to pursue a judgement against me. I paid the judgement amount in full 2 years ago and was told by Kahrs the balance was {$0.00}, but now Kahrs Law is stating the balance was not paid in full and they continued to let another {$500.00} in interest acrue before garnishing my wages with no notice. They are a predatory law practice serving a predatory type of lending.

Didnt receive any documentation that debt was sold from XXXX XXXX to Kahrs Law office. Kahrs law office has rejected all of my attempted contact to pay my debt of $ XXXXIN FULL. Kahrs law has a 1 star rating along with many other complaints about falsely garnishing checks and never giving other debtors a chance to pay their debts because they do NOT return contact. The only option to pay debt is to leave a voicemail with an automated system with my banking information. I will absolutely NOT do so.
