My identity was stolen in XXXX, TN and was used to apply for credit cards, apartments, loans, and bank accounts in Texas. I received numerous of letters in XXXX stating that I was in debt with different companies. I contacted all three credit bureaus and put a freeze on my credit for about two years. I also filed three police reports regarding the identity theft, and reported my identity being stolen to the Federal Trade Commission. I submitted my police reports, along with other supporting documentation to prove my identity was stolen. This resulted in the debts being discharged except for one company, " XXXX XXXX ''. XXXX sunt me the leasing agreement that was filled out fraudulently using my name but there were no ligament signatures, my name was not spelled properly, and there was no documentation as in a copy of a driver 's license or anything. The entire packet had typed names. Steeplechase apartments asked me to fill out an identity theft packet which I did and mailed it to them. They then claimed they did not receive the packet. I later found out that they filed a lawsuit against me for almost XXXX dollars and was served a warrant to appear in court. I called them again stating that I sent them the identity theft packet and they once again claimed they never received it. I then offered to them to fill out another identity theft packet and they stated it did not matter because they were taking a judgment out against me. I explained to them that I never received another court date to even appear in court due to the courts in XXXX XXXX, telling me that my court date would have to be reset due to covid and that they were running off a backlog. I acquired about my court date three times with XXXX XXXX and each time they told me they were waiting for it to be reset and that they will mail me a letter regarding my next court date. I never received the letter. I am currently being garnished for a debt that is not mines and I have supporting documentation proving the debt is not mines. I was in contact with a detective from the sheriff 's department regarding the identity theft " XXXX XXXX XXXX ''. She told me that " XXXX '' went under a new company and that she was going to subpoena them to receive all documents regarding the matter. I haven't been able to get in contact with her but have left messages.

On XX/XX/2019 I sent XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX a dispute letter disputing the repossession listed on my credit report and requesting all documentation pertaining to the repossession. On XX/XX/2019, I received a summons to appear to court on XX/XX/2019, at XXXX XXXX On XX/XX/2019, I contacted XXXX XXXX Attorney who is representing them by the name Knight & Hooper. I spoke with XXXX to see if I could get the court date changed due to me not receiving proper notices and short notice to attend court. I did not hear back from her so I sent a response to the complaint that was filed against me to XXXX at Knight and Hooper via email at XXXX and handle delivered a copy of the response to the complaint to the State of TN , County of XXXX. Next, I sent a SECOND NOTICE to XXXX XXXX requesting the repossession information that's supposed to be provided to the consumer by law. We appeared in court and they reset the date to XX/XX/2019 at XXXX. The attorney 's for the plaintiff stated that they had already sent the information out to me but they did not have the correct address on file the first time according to XXXX at Knight and Hooper who verbally stated that all of the information had been sent at the time of collection to the other address at XXXX XXXX XXXX but not XXXX XXXX XXXX.

They are attempting to sue me for {$10000.00} plus contractual interest accruing 10 % totalling {$870.00} plus contractual attorney fees {$2200.00} for a total judgement amount of {$13000.00}.

Received a letter from Knight & Hooper PLLC stating that they they are hired to represent XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( which is no longer in business in since XXXX ). A motion to extend judgement from judgement dated XX/XX/XXXX. I have never had any business with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The case is to be heard in General Sessions court on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX Docket number XXXX. My concerns are one that the debt ( if valid ) is older than 6 years old and according to the state of Tennessee is past the statute of limitations. Additionally XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is no longer in business. Lastly there are many complaints filed against this law firm for attempting to collect fraudulent debt. Knight & Hooper , PLLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Tn XXXX. I believe that this is fraud and attempt to get a individual to make payment to them while trying to use scare tactics and legal looking correspondence.

This debt is not mine. Someone opened a charge account with XXXX over eight years ago in my name and this company has placed a lien on my property. The owner is XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have contacted them and the person to talk to is XXXX XXXX. Her number is XXXX. The total of the debt is {$4500.00}. She is with XXXX and XXXX. They are managing the debt. I will be closing on my home in 30 days and need this removed and the lien taken off immediately. Also, I need it removed from XXXX and XXXX. I have offer them {$2500.00} at closing if they would agree but I really feel that they should just absolve the debt completely. I want you to contact her so you and her can figure out a solution immediately.
