I was part of a XXXX with my ex-spouse, until XXXX XXXX, 2008, at which time I was terminated and released of all company liabilities, present and future. My ex-spouse received the XXXX as his separate and sole property in the settlement agreement. He also completed legal paperwork to have me removed from a XXXX XXXX XXXX business line of credit. The ex-spouse warranted to me that he completed and submitted a Release of Guarantor Agreement to XXXX XXXX XXXX, thereby legally removing me as a guarantor of his companies ' future financial liabilities and debts. XXXX XXXX XXXX claims they do not possess that paperwork, and sold the debt fraudulently to XXXX , XXXX, who hired the Law Offices of Joe Pezzuto in Arizona to attempt to collect the debt from me. I requested in writing, well within the XXXX day time frame, for XXXX , XXXX and the Law Offices of Joe Pezzuto to validate this debt, and and my request was IGNORED. XXXX , XXXX, reported a collection account to all XXXX credit bureaus : XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX. It is my understanding that if the collection agency does NOT validate the debt, they are violating my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Furthermore, since XXXX , XXXX, has reported information that they know to be inaccurate and incorrect to the above listed XXXX agencies, they have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681s-2 Section 623. If XXXX , XXXX attempts to pursue a judgement without validating the debt, they are again failing to comply with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. This is not my debt. I requested validation, which I have NOT received, yet they are continuing to attempt to collect this debt. I now have negative, harmful and inaccurate information on my credit report.

Last week Thursday, XXXX XXXX, 2015, I received a summons from the Law Office of Joe Pezzuto , LLC, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. Prior to this summons I have never heard of XXXX XXXX or his law firm. I did not receive a phone call, voicemail, letter or email from this law firm. I do not currently have nor have I ever been in any contract with this law firm. They never provided me any documentation regarding this debt before proceeding against me in court. I do believe that they are in clear and direct violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. The exhibit attached in the court filings did not show my name or signature in contract with XXXX XXXX nor did it show any ownership of a debt relating to me.

I continue to receive annoying/disturbing/harassing phone calls at my place of business from the Law Offices of Joe Pezzuto ( the number identified in my caller ID is XXXX ). When I answer the phone, they either hang up on me ( this happens repeatedly ) or they continue to ask for someone that I do not know. When I tell them that I have no idea who this person is and that they MUST discontinue calling me at work, they typically just hang up ( and call again ). This is my place of business, and I DO NOT know who this person is that they continue to ask for.

In XX/XX/XXXX, I sold my interest in a XXXX company, and divorced my husband who immediately moved back to XXXX. He and the other XXXX partners kept the company alive, while I bowed out of the picture completely. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from a collection agency stating I owe {$78000.00} on a line of credit they claimed I personally guaranteed. They are unable to locate this " supposed '' contract and are threatening to ruin my - quite frankly - perfect credit. All for a debt that is NOT mine.
