01/26/2023	Yes	Debt collection Credit card debt	Took or threatened to take negative or legal action Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit	HI 967XX	Web	Older American, Servicemember
On XX/XX/XXXX a summons was improperly delivered to my property address and given to a tenant who is not a family member or relative whom I do not live with and when delivery after knocking on door and handing a summons not in an envelope and not to myself. This debt is also being challenged by XXXX XXXX who has been asking for debt validation unsuccessfully from the creditor and there is a Lack of Standing in that the debtor creditor relationship not being one and the same. When debt collectors are contacted by me the many entities involved do not have any proper information about the debt, or proper dates or amounts from the original debt that was a credit card that was closed in or around XXXX and therefore the statute of limitations may have also expired and the amounts of the debt tripled according to the summons and debt collectors who are demanding a response and attempting a default judgement. I have been under duress and I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX connected XXXX XXXX and I am being tracked by phone from an outside source such as XXXX tracking device and followed and spied on. All for a credit card debt. I am just coming out of a place of hardship and we have been assessed at my condo for XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am also recovering from XXXX Covid scare. Sending someone to my condo unannounced and delivering these documents improperly at my condo ( btw I can not always stay there due to the amount of work that is major at the building ) and large assessments has caused me XXXX and I need it to stop. Also the original debt belonged to XXXX XXXX XXXX and the debt collectors are Attorney XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX and XXXX ( or whoever as I can not get straight answers from them and I have had to spend more money now to initiate a letter to the courts to stave them off. Also the XXXX XXXX company I have been dealing with for two years has completly dropped the ball when I notified them this was happening and said they can not help. I have spent two years paying them {$120.00} for over two years in order to resolve these debts and only to find they can not do what they claim. I would like a full refund. This is such a scam.

The companies involved are already aware as I have written to all of them. XXXX is claiming that I have not made any payments since XX/XX/XXXX towards a bill I owed them. They are claiming that I still owe {$1500.00} when I have proof from my bank and from their debt collector that I have made a one time lump sum payment of {$640.00} plus $ XXXX/mo every month to their debt collector. My bank has all the records of these payments as it was automatically withdrawn from my account every month. Their designated attorneys known as XXXX negotiated with me. XXXX went out of my business in XX/XX/XXXXwhen my account was paid in full. They told me that Attorney Marvin Dang would review my file as these were the new collectors and they would send me the needed " paid in full '' paperwork. That NEVER happened, Dang instead wrote me and said that I haven't made payments since XX/XX/XXXX. This is inaccurate. I have sent letters and proof to Marvin Dang and three credit bureaus. They won't even let me " add a statement '' to my credit report. This is unfair and an unethical practice of bullying a consumer, namely me. I have all proof and documentation I am more than pleased to provide. Additionally, the first invoice I ever received said that I purchased an Apple product which I did not. The invoice dated XX/XX/XXXX has all of my information on it, except it has the wrong account number on it, # XXXX. They argued with me and said it was mine so I tried to pay this fraudulent claim, just to get it off my record. I tried to pay it, but this is not my account #. Every invoice after that had the correct account # on it which ended in # XXXX. # XXXX is my account number, the original " XXXX '' invoice is not.

VIOLATION OF Federal Consumer Protection Act 809 FAILURE TO VERIFY/VALIDATE DEBT INCORRECT INFORMATION On XX/XX/2019 I was personally served with a summons for an attempt to collect a debt I had no knowledge of. The summons claimed an amount of {$860.00} was being sought on behalf of plaintiff by attorney supposedly representing them. On XX/XX/2019 - I sent certified letter received by attorney on XX/XX/19 requesting competent evidence bearing my signature, showing that I have contractual obligation to pay attorney/plaintiff. On, or around, XX/XX/2019 I received a package in mail from attorney with several pages of printed out credit card invoices with my name and address on it. No signature was provided, no written proof of Proper Assignment of Debt. The last page of the invoices showed a balance that was NOT the same as amount claimed by plaintiff. On XX/XX/2019, I send second certified letter requesting Name, Address, and telephone of each person who personally verified the account, and requesting copy of any documents bearing my signature, showing I have a legally binding contractual obligation to pay the alleged amount. On XX/XX/2019 I showed up in court at XXXX as directed on summons and plaintiff or representation did not. No proof was provided validating and verifying this account and plaintiffs proof of Proper Assignment of Debt. Attorney/Plaintiff has violated Federal Consumer Protection Act 809 a-d by not communicating as required by law and providing required information. Attorney/Plaintiff has failed to provide proper original signed documents with signature verifying and validating debt they are attempting to collect.

My complaint is related to the Law Offices of Marvin C.S. Dang XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, Hawaii XXXX, Ph # XXXX, collecting on behalf of XXXX XXXX who is collecting on behalf of XXXX XXXX. While they never quite provided the written proof of the debt which I believe was my husbands, I conceded and paid them after attending multiple court dates on the matter. It should be noted that they have tried this on multiple occasions and after I attended multiple court dates they dropped it because they could not prove the debt as I requested. Basically they have a history of wasting peoples times going to court and then end up unable to prove there is a valid debt. All that aside, my complaint here is related to the practice of collecting on a debt they have already been paid on. Civil Case Number XXXX for XXXX XXXX was paid in fill with a final payment of {$130.00} brining the total paid to the full debt of {$680.00}. They sent confirmation of the case dismissed in a letter dated XX/XX/18. They then sent a letter dated XX/XX/18 asking for the same amount of money and indicated they have filed a lawsuit again. This is clear harassment and unethical practices to be paid twice on the same debt. They continued to send letters throughout the duration of the time I was attending court and paying them. Their letters never reflected payments and they continued in efforts to collect the fill amount even after accepting payments. All payments were made by check and I have copies of all returned checks. However again they confirm in the dismissal letter of XX/XX/18 that the debt is paid in full.

XXXX XXXX , 2017 - XXXX XXXX - Friend was approached outside house and asked if I lived there. Upon questioning he revealed to my friend it was for credit card debt and left documents with him revealing details of the debt. XXXX XXXX , 2017 - XXXX XXXX - Person came to door asking for me and if I lived there. Friend told him to leave. XXXX XXXX , 2017 - XXXX XXXX - Person came to door, striking it forcefully and loud ly ( this startling, unexpected and unwanted action caused me to fear for my son 's and my saf ety ). My friend, who was likewise concerned, asked this person to identify himself. Person said he came yesterday and again asked if I lived there. Friend told him to leave - he was insistent and would not leave. My friend ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) told him to " cease and desist '' coming to the property. Person would not leave. Friend told him he considered him a threat and was armed ( legally ). Person told him " well then, you 're going to have to shoot me '' and that he will be back tomorrow. Based on person 's response, which a reasonable and prudent person would not utter, I fear this person is a clear and determined threat to the safety of me and my son.

XXXX has acknowledged that I have paid towards an account that was negotiated at {$1200.00} and that I showed bank records pay $ XXXX/mo every month totaling {$870.00}. They are not recognizing the receipt for cash given to previous debt collectors XXXX-XXXX even though I have shown the receipt here online and sent hard copies " certified mail, return receipt requested '' to new Attorney Marvin Dang and XXXX credit card company. Please note attachment showing a digital image of the receipt in the amount of {$640.00}. {$1200.00} minus {$870.00} leaves a balance of {$340.00}. {$340.00} minus the cash that was given to XXXX-XXXX in the amount of {$640.00} means that I have OVERPAID by {$300.00}. Before I begin proceedings to request my {$300.00} be refunded to me, it would behoove XXXX to submit to credit bureau agencies a full statement factually stating that this account is PAID IN FULL.

THIS IS NOT A DUPLICATE COMPLAINT -- Friday, XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX approximately. I called Marvin Dang Attorneys to talk about all the research that we have been doing this year in regards to my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account ending in XXXX. Last correspondence to me through CFPB ( this website ) The attorneys at Dang 's office indicated I owed {$340.00}. I want to pay it today, but they say they need to do more research. I would like the amount of {$340.00} to be paid immediately, yet they need to do more research? Why can I not pay this amount and be done with this? The account according to their correspondence with me on XX/XX/XXXX through this site says that they would " accept payment of {$340.00} under previous terms to settle this matter in full ''?

I have sent a letter to XXXX XXXX who is the attorney for XXXX XXXX in an effort to completely payoff a loan and they will not respond to me. THIS IS NOT A DUPLICATE COMPLAINT. Also, the amount is STILL incorrect that is being reported to the credit bureaus. The amount is, by their own admission in the documentation on this website, lower than the reported amount. I need two things done. An accurate amount of balance due and owing a response from XXXX XXXX ATTORNEY. Letter sent to them was " return receipt requested '' and it was uploaded to this website as well so I know that they have it. Both the attorneys and the company keep ignoring me saying this is a duplicate when they fail to see that this is a NEW COMPLAINT.
