On or about XX/XX/2019, I received a collection letter threatening to sue me. That letter was dated XX/XX/2019. I contacted the collections law firm Farmar Law Group fka Law Offices of Rory W. Clark on or about XX/XX/2019. I spoke with attorney, XXXX XXXX. I negotiated a payment plan and received an e-mail confirming the payment schedule on XX/XX/2019 from XXXX XXXX. My first payment must be received by XX/XX/2019. XXXX XXXX discussed the payment options. I was told that there would be no lawsuit filed against me. On XX/XX/2019 I deposited cash ( {$200.00} ) into the law firm 's checking account. The same day, I received an e-mail from XXXX XXXX confirming receipt of my first payment. Then on XX/XX/2019, I received a third party notice from a court lawsuit monitor that a lawsuit was filed against me from Farmar Law Group. I went to the XXXX XXXX Superior Court website and they did indeed file a lawsuit against me on XX/XX/2019. I have received no response from the attorney XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/2019, I called Farmar Law Group and initially they said it was an error and that someone would call me back. I called again and the same lady that answered said that the lawsuit was valid. I am attaching my evidence. XXXX XXXX XXXX is not licensed in California to practice law. I checked the California State Bar website and his license is listed as inactive. The bank account for this firm is in his name.

I received a form letter with a date stamp of XX/XX/2021 from a law firm/debt collector I do not know and had never been contacted by. The letter is not signed. I received the letter on Friday afternoon, XX/XX/2021, of the holiday weekend. I only had to time to type a letter and send registered mail to the law firm. I do not recognize the credit card company. The letter is threatening and harassing, further more the law firm caused duress by sending the letter the afternoon of a holiday weekend, when no one could be contacted. If indeed the letter is correct, and the amount is owed, I made an offer to the law firm of {$10.00} per month as I am on widow 's benefits. I am enclosing the form letter from the law firm FarMar Law Group , PC, the envelope with the postal stamp of XX/XX/2021, and my registered letter to the law firm. I also sent a fax copy of the letter to the law firm as well. I was not afforded 30 days to respond to the threats of a lawsuit. I have never been contacted by FarMar Law Group , PC, XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX.
