XXXX XXXX XXXX was an attorney I worked with, who was a Guardian et litem / Child Legal Representative for my my minor child, in a family case, and she closed her practice in XXXX of XXXX. I was subsequently notified that the alleged legal fees I owed XXXX XXXX were being turned over to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. I had made XXXX XXXX aware that I disputed these fees, multiple times prior to her closing her office. I filed an Arbitration Request with XXXX XXXX XXXX. Legal Fee Committee on XX/XX/XXXX, and it is currently pending a response from XXXX XXXX, who is represented by XXXX XXXX 's Collection Firm. Since first finding out the debt had been sent to XXXX XXXX 's firm, I disputed the amount, disputed being the responsible party, and filed all applicable paperwork with the court of jurisdiction, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Judicial. XXXX XXXX, nor his client, XXXX XXXX, ever advised me that I could settle the fee dispute with the XXXX XXXX XXXX. Arbitration Committee. - See attached XXXX request We completed XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, and the court hearing was scheduled for later that Fall. Because of the XXXX mandate still in place in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Judicial Courts on the date of our hearing, XX/XX/XXXX, I had been XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and a default judgement was made against me. It was filed on XX/XX/XXXX. I had called the Clerk 's office to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX the clerk informed me that I could file a motion against the judgement. I received a letter from XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX asking me to contact him directly stating I am willing to work with you in whatever rational and reasonable way I can to liquidate this account in an orderly fashion. I contacted XXXX XXXX 's office to try and resolve the issue via email on XX/XX/XXXX. - See attached PDF letter from XXXX XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX attached email to XXXX XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX. Subsequently, XXXX XXXX XXXX Assistant, XXXX, called me back on XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX but XXXX XXXX never returned my calls, or emails. - XXXX voicemails XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX I emailed XXXX XXXX again via email on XX/XX/XXXX, requesting he communicated with me via EMAIL, as it was my preferred method of communication. XXXX XXXX 's email contains an automatic reply, that the sender has to respond to in order to bypass the Spam block. This should not be allowed from collection companies/ attorneys/ law firms. - See attached PDF of email to XXXX XXXX I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX Assistant, XXXX XXXX, in XX/XX/XXXX, requesting to contact their office to discuss the judgement/ payment options. - See attached XXXX of letter sent XX/XX/XXXX I emailed XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX office on XX/XX/XXXX again repeating the same information I had previously requested to speak about, and asked that he respond via email, for my written documentation. No response came from XXXX XXXX, or his office. - See attached PDF of email request XX/XX/XXXX I filed a Motion to Dismiss Judgement in the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, after my Good Faith Effort to communicate with XXXX XXXX was ignored 5 times, and I learned that I had a XXXX XXXX ( CO XXXX XXXX. Fee Arb ). - See attached PDF for motion to set aside and dismiss XXXX XXXX 's XXXX Attorney? XXXX XXXX XXXX, drafted the response for XXXX XXXX 's Firm, and made false statements against me, filed it in court, and it is now a matter of public record. XXXX XXXX version is as follows : These Interrogatories are to be answered separately for each Defendant named, even if you are husband and wife. Failure to answer EACH AND EVERY QUESTION truthfully and completely within 14 days may result in your being held in Contempt of Court, for which a JAIL SENTENCE AND/OR FINE CAN BE IMPOSED. - See attached PDF of response to motion - See attached PDF of letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and his Associates, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX ( Assistant ) are violating the FDCPA through their avoidance communication, and unwillingness to fulfill the firms own statements of willingness to discuss this matter. XXXX XXXX firm has not shown that they had any intent to follow through on their written communication to discuss this matter, which mislead me as to their intention to work on a settlement post judgement. Because of this deceptive collection tactic, it resulted in my delay of a court response to dismiss, and once filed was subsequently denied. XXXX XXXX firm also includes threatening forms of CO State/ Federal Forms/ verbiage - written interrogatories- to incite fear of jail time for non compliance for completing written interrogatories, and this is a deceptive collection practice, because you can not go to jail for only not completing that form.
01/09/2019	Yes	Debt collection Other debt	Took or threatened to take negative or legal action Threatened to sue you for very old debt	CO 80917	Web	Servicemember
Separated in XX/XX/XXXX from Spouse and moved out Apartment, notified apartment verbally was never removed from month to month arrangement since 12 month lease was up. Received letter of Debt through Spouse who they allowed to stay in Apartment for 3 months without paying rent. First her lawyer mentioned I should pay but an agreement was made for all Parties to to pay half. I therefore did that as part of the separation agreement, it was paid in person. After 3 years and apparently after ex spouse did not pay her amount I was served with a notice, but even as tried to just clear up the difference, realized the amount was wrong. I then asked from both the creditor and Apartment for my payment history which no one wants to provide. I did this multiple times by phone and in letter, I also sent a official request for validation of the debt and am waiting. Since then even before giving me a validation I have been brought to court which I again stated my position and am now facing trial by jury. Meanwhile my ex spouse was sued in XX/XX/XXXX and a payment agreement reached. So she was not at this court hearing or is required to go to trial for the same debt we are both on. With that I document ed the times I called, I was told by the Apartment Supervisor that indeed I did pay half of the amount they first sued my ex for, so i mentioned she contact the law office to notify them of this since they admitted they were never made aware. In that very call she hung up on me when I asked for a written document. I legally recorded tall correspondences with both the Apartment and creditors. Since sending a letter to the creditors asking them for the corrected amount if any and that the Supervisor XXXX at XXXX XXXX could verify, no traction. I called the Apartments Back and appear the Creditors Kenneth E Davidson Law Office has adviced their client to just tell me to call them and that the amount owed is after I paid Half. Which could not be the case based of what you will see in the documents I attach. No one has up till now provided a validation of any debt even after all this. I have Mortgage company back in XX/XX/XXXX asking me for the number to verify that indeed I followed the Separation Agreement and paid Half will attach that email. Excuses from the XXXX client, XXXX XXXX has been it is in a vault they can't get to my payment history right away. The Supervisor had some but I needed to talk to her lawyer. Needless to say I would call the creditors and they would tell me call the apartments, have apartments call them. I would call the Apartments they would say there was either no reason to talk to the lawyers, or from the Supervisor call them, when I told her what the Creditors Kenneth E Davidson Law office said. All communication has been notes and I have had a certified third party transcript the audio. I have legal emails mentioning the first time i heard of the amount, which I paid half. I also will attach all this to this complaint. I have been trying to work with this creditor since XX/XX/XXXX. I have only been able to add some documents here because of the size limit. I have added in order numbers for the transcripts. I have copies of recordings when needed. Since colorado recordings are legal of the person doing it, if the call is theirs. The legal document she received has a different amount from the one I received, that too has not been validated. Also I have added the apartment receipts showing rental amount, 3 times {$720.00} doesn't make XXXX dollars. I only have 2 of those receipts. also added here. of.To purchase my home I have had extensive credit check done back in XX/XX/XXXX for me to be able to, including inquiry into this matter, they specifically wanted to call and clarify. That email asking about this added. Where i lived, in end of XX/XX/XXXX. I had no lease. Communication has been Law firm tells me ask Apartment to call them, Apartment has told me there is no reason to call or have the Law Office call them. Basicall a Ping Pong effect and getting nowhere. Because of the limits here not documents have been added but am ready to had over more on request if you guys are able to help me.

I received a letter in XX/XX/XXXX from an attorney, Kenneth Davidson, stating I owe a debt of {$1100.00} including interest. I wrote him back requesting my entire file from his firm along with the original creditor 's file since I have no idea who this person is. From what I understand per the Colorado Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, this is what I, as a consumer, am allowed to request. He mailed back to me a copy of a NSF check in the amount of {$40.00} that I had written on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. This is all he sent me. Still having no idea who this person is, why I am just now being notified of a {$40.00} NSF check that incurred interest & not receiving any other information, I submitted all documents with my complaint to my Colorado Attorney General 's office. A server came to my home & gave me an Interrogatories form that I was supposed to fill out and return to this Kenneth Davidson attorney ( not the court ) within 14 days, a week later. I submitted this to the Attorney General 's office and received an email stating I need to find a lawyer because they do not give out legal advice. I did not feel comfortable filling a form out to someone that I do not know and am supposed to list very personal information. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a CC letter from an investigator at the Attorney Regulation Counsel to this XXXX XXXX stating that he failed to comply with the Colorado Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, he had the opportunity to respond to the letter, he was to send in documentation and also address me that he failed to comply with the Act. My case number with the investigation is XXXX, if you need this. XXXX XXXX sent both of us a multitude of paperwork that I have never received, along with, a court document with my signature on it from XX/XX/XXXX, stating I agreed to pay this debt. It is my signature, however, it is mortifying to think of where else my signature has been fraudulently used because I never signed any documents with or in front of this person. I received a letter yesterday stating that I will be held in contempt and will go to jail if I do not fill out another Interrogatories form immediately to his office. This morning, the Regulation Counsel investigator 's secretary called and told me that I needed to find a lawyer for the Interrogatories form while they still investigate. I feel XXXX XXXX has violated Colorado 's statutes 12-14-108 by charging interest, 12-14-109 by not providing me the original creditor 's information, 12-14-107 ( h ) false representation or implication that the consumer has engaged in any disgraceful conduct, 12-14-112 deceptive forms - making up false forms he supposedly sent to me, and the Colorado Defamation Law 18-13-105 Criminal libel from the horrible things he wrote about me to the Regulation Counsel investigator. May I ask for your assistance in this matter? I have never been this threatened, discriminated and my name abused in my life! I am also XXXX. I have all documentation if you would like them. Thank you for your time.
02/22/2019	Yes	Debt collection Medical debt	Took or threatened to take negative or legal action Threatened to arrest you or take you to jail if you do not pay	CO 80918	Web
On XX/XX/2019 I received the Motion Requesting Warrant to Issue and Additional Attorney Fees. I called the Attorneys office and was informed that there was a warrant issued for my arrest. I was further told that I needed to be careful driving as I would be arrested. She claimed that they could squash the warrant if I paid the full amount due immediately or came to her office and filled out some papers. I asked what the debt was and she said it was for XXXX XXXX from an auto accident. I requested to speak to the attorney and was told that he would not speak with me as that is what she is there for. I explained to her that I had full coverage auto and was not the at fault party so I had assumed the medical bills had been paid. She said that it was out of her hands and I had to pay the {$2400.00} immediately or deal with the consequences of the warrant for failure to appear at the court date ( that I was never served papers for ) I called the court and spoke with a clerk who informed me that a warrant was not issued for my arrest and that there was a review scheduled on XX/XX/2019. I have never been served papers in regards to this case as the assistant at XXXX XXXX office is claiming. Upon questioning everyone in my home my Step Daughter admitted that a few weeks back a gentleman had come to the house with court papers. She said that she had informed him that she was not me to which he demanded to see her license. She told him she did not have one and he threw the papers at her hitting her in the face with them as he yelled " you have been served, pay your bills '' She picked them up and threw them in the trash. She is only XXXX years old and she was very upset about being treated this way. Unfortunately, she did not say anything to me about it because she was afraid she would be grounded because she cursed the man out for hitting her. I also called XXXX ( my auto insurance company at the time of the accident ) they said all of the medical bills submitted by the company claiming the debt were paid. They also informed me that there was still time to submit those bills and that the XXXX should have done so but if they give me verification of the bills they will cover them if I submit them. This debt collection practice is not only irresponsible and illegal it is inhumane. Now that my step daughter has spoken out about the assault her mother is filing a report and hopefully the process server will be charged with assault on a child.
