I have a civil judgment from Keith D Weiner & associated which I had been paying on at {$75.00} per month. I changed banks and previously had an auto draft Payment arrangement. I had received a letter stating they had received my payment and to call the office. I called the office and was told that my XXXX was {$75.00} which happened to be the same amount as my payment arrangement I found that odd and ask for that in writing I never received it. The next thing I knew I was being garnished a month later. XXXX County Municipal Court case # XXXX judgment amount was supposed to be {$400.00}, they garnished {$1000.00} creating an overpayment of {$600.00}. Three garnishments were taken from my paychecks on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX. I was paying for a judgment that had already been satisfied, and they wouldnt stop garnishing my pay. I called the office on several occasions. I spoke to a collector named XXXX - every time I ask him why are you still garnishing my pay for a job that is already paid he said I dont know. When I asked him how can I get this garnishment to stop he said I dont know. I asked him who is going to refund my overpayment he said I dont know. After disconnecting the call I called back and asked for his manager whose name was XXXX as well. I left him a message twice and never received a callback. My message was very clear I left my number as well and still no call back its been 10 days. I called XXXX Clerk talked to XXXX in the clerks Civil Division, She had advised me that Keith D Weiner and associates had never sent over a release, In addition I checked today and no release was sent. Furthermore they stated they do have a small overpayment thats going to be released to no one basically, stating that Keith D Weiner and associates has file an entry that any overpayment needs to be sent back to my employer and they havent done that either. Today I received an email from HR that said I have to get my refund from KDW or the courts. Keith D Weiner is keeping my overpayment. In addition they sent me a release stating the judgment was satisfied, they sent one to XXXX our payroll company, but didnt send one to the court. The court said that they will not except my fax copy that they need it from the actual plaintiffs attorney. In addition they dont have any entry stating that they can refund the overpayment, if they have one nor is Keith D Weiner and associates returning my call about the overpayments. Its now just a few dollars its {$600.00} in overpayment. In addition a copy of the judgment that I received, is not correct. As I have been paying {$75.00} a month for several months as they were taking it right out of my bank account. Therefore there is a larger over payment then what I noted.

A subpoena letter was sent to my workplace by a debt collection lawyer in Ohio ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) regarding a debt accrued by a person with a similar name as me. The subpoena included my name, along with a couple aliases that do not match my name. When my office manager called this law office to see why they were asking for information about me, they gave her MY social security number and told her to fill out paperwork regarding my personal information ( i.e. address and phone number ), but would n't elaborate as to why. As it turns out, they have my social security number linked with a person who owes them money, even though this person is not me, and I have never even been to the state of Ohio. The person they are searching for has a name very similar to mine, but has a different middle name. I looked this person up online ( which took a grand total of 5 minutes ) and found the person they are looking for, as well as a list of places she has lived and where she currently lives. None of these places are even close to the state in which I live. I checked my credit report, and all three of my scores are in the XXXX 's and there are no suspicious accounts opened under my name. Thus, I am assuming that either 1. ) This person stole my social security number and accrued debt using it, but it just has n't shown up on my credit report, or 2. ) These lawyers are just randomly searching for people with my name, and somehow have a way to obtain my social security number. Then they are trying to saddle me with this person 's debt without actually researching who this person is. Either way, I do not owe a penny to these people, and request that they quit harassing me and quit writing subpoenas to my workplace. I have filed an " Identity Theft Affidavit '' with the IRS, as well as an affidavit with the Federal Trade Commission. I have also filed a police report and have submitted my identification. Once the police report is finalized, I would be happy to submit that as well. The amount of time I 've had to waste because this company could n't do a five minute google search, is really ridiculous.A colleague of mine told me to file a complaint with the consumer financial protection bureau as well, in order to get this company off my back. I am requesting that Keith Weiner Law be forced to stop linking me and my social security number with someone who is clearly not me. In my opinion, this company is just taking shots in the dark in order to collect this woman 's debt, and they should be held accountable for trying to saddle some innocent person with someone else 's debt, just so they get paid. The contact information for the law firm is : Keith D. Weiner & Associates XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, OH XXXX XXXX

Starting from the top. I registered for classes at XXXX XXXX XXXX University for the fall of XX/XX/XXXX, tuition and fees came to approx. {$2700.00}. I paid the school and for some administrative/clerical reason I was given a refund check and now owed a balance. I never signed up for a loan. Fast Forward my debt ballooned to approx. {$4000.00} by XX/XX/XXXX. I am giving approx. amounts because the Ohio States Attorney General has placed a hold on my records, and I have not been able to access my original statements from XXXX ( currently waiting to see if my request filed XX/XX/XXXX will be accepted ). Fast forward again to XX/XX/XXXX. After multiple moves including one out of state, I contact Wiener Law and Associates after receiving a notice ( can not remember date ) that my debt was given to them, and now has a balance of over {$7100.00}. I reached out to them to see if we could come to a reasonable settlement amount, and I made the mistake of telling them I needed my records released to continue my education. I was instructed by representative XXXX XXXX ( she has been my contact person throughout this process ) to send an email with an offer to begin negotiations. I sent an email on XX/XX/XXXX offering a {$1000.00} lump sum to settle the matter thinking that starting low would give me some room to work with. After not hearing back I reached out multiple times waiting on a response to continue negotiations, I finally got a response and I was told by XXXX XXXX that the lowest number they could accept was {$5800.00} and she continued to tell me that XXXX told them this is the only amount they would accept and that I had until XX/XX/XXXX to accept or the offer expires. I then made multiple calls to XXXX and the Ohio State attorney general 's office. I was making these calls to circumvent having to deal with this collection agency that has gotten terrible reviews online and is not negotiating in good faith. But I got the run around and basically was told that I had to deal with them. On XX/XX/XXXX after multiple calls to the Ohio State AG office demanding records of my account, I was finally told by staff that no one from Wiener Law contacted them about my account, nor was a {$5800.00} minimum amount given. I called Wiener Law on XX/XX/XXXX in another attempt to continue reasonable negotiations but was told by XXXX XXXX that she will not continue talking with me because I mentioned a lawyer and she hung up so here I am today, contacting you to see if you can assist me. I still have not received my original statements from XXXX nor any information on who was heading my account leading up to it going to the OH AG.

My story is similar to some I 've read. Around or about XXXX XXXX I received an letter to avoid a garnishment, which I faxed on XXXX XXXX. That was the last time I heard from Keith Weiner & Association. Until XXXX XXXX my employer sent notification of garnishment to be effective for XX/XX/XXXX first garnishment payment being withheld. I contacted the paralegal specialist advising I was blindsided by this garnishment and the amount of {$230.00} XXXX would cause a hardship for me and my children being I 'm a single parent and sole provider of XXXX. The paralegal specialist informed me at this point the only option I had was to go to court and request for a hearing. To avoid any more attention to this garnishment and even more the embarrassment I did n't challenge the garnishment amount so for the next XXXX months XXXX was withheld biweekly until the final payment was made XX/XX/XXXX satisfying the debt of {$1100.00} to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX of Ohio represented by Keith Weiner & Associates for collections. XXXX XXXX totaling {$1100.00} XXXX XXXX.Sometime in XX/XX/XXXX I received a notification for Keith Weiner office stating there was a balance of {$470.00} due for interest I called XXXX XXXX who is extremely rude. I tried to explain XXXX XXXX I would send the all if my pay statements showing this was satisfied paid in full on XX/XX/XXXX a final payment letter was sent to Weiner from my employe on XX/XX/XXXX as well. XXXX told me he did care what I had I still owed {$470.00} I asked how {$1100.00} was garnished by court order and that he was going to garnishment me again. I pleaded with him not to do so knowing the debt was satisfied and I could provide proof to XXXX XXXX he stated he did n't want any proof. I hung up very frustrated never receiving any other notification regarding another garnishment. Until I came back to work being out on XXXX for over XXXX weeks. XX/XX/XXXX garnished again by Weiner first payment on XX/XX/XXXX for the XXXX time for an additional {$470.00} in addition to the {$1100.00} with held XXXX XXXX. With the additional amount Totaling {$1600.00} causing and overpayment of {$470.00}. I contacted Weiner requesting my money back and XXXX stating I 'm not getting anything back I have all the cashed cancelled checks and now seeking legal guidance in this matter I 'm in jeopardy of losing my house this has caused XXXX, financial hardship humiliation as well as my reputation at Work.

Contacted by Keith D Wiener & Assoc via mail on XX/XX/2018. I researched them and determined I do not owe this agency any money. A verification of debt was sent certified mail via usps on XX/XX/18, to date it is pending pick up ( tracking # XXXX ). On XX/XX/18 @ XXXX XXXX I received a phone call from someone claiming to be from the county court as a process server from XXXX saying that they are trying to serve me papers to an address of XXXX XXXX XXXX ( not my address ). When asked who it was from and who they represented I was told that he can't release that information and I need to be home to be served. He then told me that if I don't get the papers it will be a failed attempt and it could result in further action against me. At that moment I felt I needed to end the call. After doing some digging I found a judgment online in my name from this agency. I reached out to Keith D Wiener & Assoc to find out what was going on and spoke with a XXXX XXXX. After trying to set up arrangements he told me that what I wanted to pay was not enough and I would need to send in pay stubs and they will determine the payment amount. I explained that if it was more that I stated then I wouldn't be able to pay. XXXX explained that they would not accept {$50.00} a month payments that they would just " file a judgment '' and garnish my wages. I explained that I want to pay the original of {$1200.00} amount and not the inflated amount of {$1600.00} which included their fees, again I was denied. I then asked for my login information to view my case on their website and was denied that information. At that point I wanted to speak with a supervisor. I called back and was transferred to XXXX XXXX the supervisor, I left a voice message and have not received a response. I did some research of my own and found that I have a court appearance in XXXX for this matter that I tried to resolve.

Keith D. Weiner & Associates Co. L.P.A. has been trying to collect an auto loan debt that was resolved in my divorce in XXXX. The truck was voluntarily given back and the lender sold it and sent the company above to collect what was supposed to be the remaing price of {$10000.00}. I am not supposed to be held liable for the debt and I also sent my divorce decree providing a legal document letting them know that. In XXXX, I received a lot calls and mailing saying that I was responsible for the debt and I continued to respond letting them know that I am not responsible for the debt. In XXXX, when I was XXXX with my son I started to receive threatening letters from Keith D Weiner & Associates Co. stating that they filed a real estate judgment against me and any property that I own the lien will encumber my residence to fulfill what is owed. Which, now at this point the debt total has jumped to {$16000.00}. So, I filed a motion in XXXX XXXX XXXX pertaining to this marital debt and the XXXX called their office with me and my ex-husband present to see how we could get this debt collector from off me and to allow my ex-husband to resolve his marital debt and set up a payment plan to start making payments. They said I had to give my ex-husband authorization to them to allow him to make payments on the marital debt. Which, I did and my ex-husband still was not allowed to setup arrangements to try to dissolve this marital debt. The debt collector above is still reporting negatively to my credit and also with the stated threats of filing a real estate judgment lien against me will stop me from selling my home since my family has out grown it and looking to find something bigger. This is really making feel like I can't move on with my life after going through a terrible divorce.

Ive been dealing with this company called Keith D Weiner and Associates about a debt owed from the city of XXXX about taxes. It started in XX/XX/XXXX when I agreed to make monthly payments to this debt. I ran into some financial troubles and was unable to pay on some of the months. The company tried to garnish my wages quite a few times and we unsuccessful due to me making not enough money. So in XX/XX/XXXXI got a letter in the mail regarding another garnishment and I immediately called the company to ask why. The call was answered by one of their employees by the name of XXXX XXXX XXXX, I told her the reason I was calling was in regards to the letter of garnishment and she told me I didn't make a payment in a long time and I told her that I kept sending in money orders which were returned to me with no explanation why it was returned. She told me that this debt was over 4 years old and that I should be making every attempt to pay this off. Well I then stated that I don't make enough money and she said well you have 3 jobs and I should be able to. She then said that if I were you I would feel embarrassed that I cant pay my city taxes because she is a tax payer herself. I told her that the last communication I seen was they tried to garnish wages at a place I was no longer employed at and her response was that she cant help it I change jobs all the time. She hung up on me and I recalled and wanted to speak with a supervisor. He answered and never apologized for her rude behavior but told me to send in whatever I could do ... .. I feel that her behavior clearly violates the fair debt collection act. I would like her to either apologize to me or I will take further legal actions against her and the the company

XXXX of my loans was left out of my previous loan consolidations. This was an error with the consolidation department as it was handled over the phone. I was unaware of an collections actions on the remaining loan as I moved until I received notice from my employer regarding pending garnishment. I immediately called the collection company, the school where the loan was issued, and the loan consolidation agency to get this situation corrected. I 've jumped through every hoop requested and been very cooperative. The collection agency requested me to let them know once I received a letter from the consolidation department. I did and called Monday and again today, the rep " XXXX '' asked that I forward the letter to her via fax. I explained I was home and could not fax, however, I could take a quick picture and email or I could scan in and send via email which would be essentially the same as faxing it. She started to get abusive at this point, saying she gave me the option. I said you are being a bit difficult, she then flipped her lid and started over talking me and threatening to hang up and over talking everything I attempted to say. I was extremely nice and asked 3 or 4 times repeatedly for her no to hang up and just listen to what I had to say. After her tyrant, I stated I apologize if she thought I was being rude or difficult and unhelpful and that was not my intent. I said, however whith me trying to send you over these documents that you are being a bit difficult because I have scanned and emailed info to her before and quite frankly being nasty in over-talking me and speaking to me in this manner. She said well ok this call is being disconnected and hung up on me.

XXXX XXXX XXXX of Keith D. Weiner & Assoc. CO., L.P.A. was collecting a debt for XXXX XXXX XXXX. We had a settlement hearing where I was supposed to pay 50 % of the debt, but the above party backed out of the agreement. The court ruled in there favor in the amount of {$4100.00}, and that was paid according to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2020. The above party added another {$1700.00} to the already paid debt, stating to XXXX that this was interest, which is impossible. A hearing was held and I found out the the court holds the payment before sending it to the party above, and the crazy part about it, they still are adding on interest, weekly, biweekly, etc. But they know the court holds the money, so that is where the payments were held for at least about 4 to 5 months. Another hearing was held for me to dispute the {$1700.00}, and at this hearing it was found that only {$230.00} was owed from the illegally added on interest, which was paid on XX/XX/2020, but the court Sustained the Garnishment out of spite because I challenged them, and said they were running a scam. I work for the XXXX XXXX, I am a Veteran and a former XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I know for a fact what the party is doing and what the court is allowing is fraud. I am sure this has been going on for years and no one has called them on it until now, and I am being punished for speaking out against the XXXX Court of Common Pleas in XXXX Ohio. I need assistance regarding this matter as soon as possible, Case No : XXXX, thank you.

In XX/XX/XXXX the USPS lost a priority mail payment and i did my due diligence and contacted the debt collector inquiring about the lack of received payment and gave them a payment over the phone. I also instructed them to NOT cash my first check if it finally showed up. They proceeded to cash the check when it arrived 10 days later anyways but my bank resolved that. Today, in XXXX, i received a call at my job from a different rep demanding I double my monthly payments or be sued and have my wages/taxes garnished. The threats continued thru this conversation despite the rep, XXXX XXXX, agreeing that i 've made " all my payments like clockwork '' in accordance with my payment arrangement. Some of the threats made by the rep, were in her words, on behalf of the Ohio Attorney General. I do n't know what is legal in this regard but if I 'm adhering to my payment arrangement then I should n't be receiving calls at my place of employment demanding I double my payment or face a lawsuit and wage garnishment.

I leased a car in 2008 from XXXX. I lost my job and was unable to make payments and returned the vehicle. The law firm of Kieth Weiner and Associates in XXXX Ohio began trying to collect on the reminder of the debt. I paid approximately {$5700.00} towards this debt to their firm. I still owed an additional {$2700.00}. A lien was put on my bank account in this amount leaving me {$450.00} to take care of my financial obligations. In the state of Ohio {$420.00} is protected in consumer accounts in these situations. I am however a legal resident of South Carolina and have been for almost a year. South Carolina residents are guaranteed {$5000.00} in protection. I informed The Keith Weiner Law firm of this several times and they refused to release my funds. They told me their attorney said that they could take the money but that they were willing to settle. I knew that they would have kept the entire amount if they were legally able however with all of my money in their hands my only option was to settle or borrow money to hire attorneys to fight them. I had children to feed and they knew it. This was a case of lies, extortion, and blatant disregard of the law. I settled for {$1200.00} but did not sign anything. My bank charged {$100.00} in legal fees.

I have some delinquent taxes owed and they were placed with a collection agency Keith D Weiner and associates. I asked for a printout of the balances owed for the years I owe back taxes to. I requested it on XX/XX/XXXX and received it about 4 days later.I looked over the documents and found that they basically doubled what I owed. Tax year XX/XX/XXXX I owed XXXX then after everything was said and done It went to XXXX. It says court costs, attorney fees and even pre placement interest. This is the same for tax years XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX. This is outrageous. For tax year XX/XX/XXXX I had the XXXX down to XXXX and then it went up to XXXX they claim court costs at XXXX times 2 .... They tried to garnish my wages 3 times and they were unsuccessful due to me not making enough money. I don't know why they are charging attorney fees when I only talked to their attorney once and that was back in XX/XX/XXXX. This company is a scam and their collecting practices are ridiculous. I will scan the papers I have to document that what im saying is true. I would like to add that they are charging interest instead of 30 % right off the top its charging every month

I did not realize that this account was still showing as unpaid until I was just denied employment because of this outstanding issue. At this point I am begging someone to please report this account as paid. The account listed on my credit report is XXXX XXXX, the collection agency I paid in full is Keith D Weiner & Associates. I have the letter showing that I satisfied this debt and it is attached to this complaint.

I contacted this firm in XXXX for a printout on what i owed. They sent me the printout on XX/XX/2019. I made a payment of the entire balance owed according to the printout. I was told that they would be sending me a letter saying the account was satisfied in the mail. I call The Firm after two weeks of not receiving the letter I asked why I wasn't receiving this letter yet and the response to the collector was that I still owe another {$70.00} for court costs. But that wasn't on the spreadsheet that I was sent. He said after I paid that they would send my letter. I find it's ridiculous cuz this date was four years old and I finally got to pay it off just to find out they won more money. I demand that the {$70.00} be taken care of and my letter be sent to me

I am disputing this debt - although this debt originated from a student loan I applied for and used for XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX. The dispute arose when I pulled out due to ongoing XXXX, harassment, and issues of intellectual property theft, I had endured since XX/XX/XXXX, when I returned to complete my XXXX degree started in XX/XX/XXXX. When the debt was referred to the State of Ohio, for XXXX being a state institution, I began the dispute for the above reason - providing a summary to the Attorney General/Department of Taxation. The issue was not resolved, in that the department refused to acknowledge the issue, and attached my state of Ohio tax refund. The debt of {$4800.00} was referred to a collection agency, my first letter received XX/XX/XXXX.

For the second time, I have been " bullied '' into dealing with a law firm that is a collection agency. This organization has very poor customer service, does NOT work with the consumer because of extenuating circumstances, garnishes the wages of the only wage earner in the house. I have dealt with this organization before and even after making unreasonable efforts to pay, they still garnished wages and caused further hardship to our family.
