In XX/XX/XXXX, I donated my car and filed Notice of Release Liability with CA DMV online, which should release my liability post-donation by CA DMV law. In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a towing citation from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding this car. They insisted that I was responsible for this ticket. In XX/XX/XXXX, the towing company filed a lien sale and bill me {$3900.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX, towing company hired Lien Receivable LLC to harass me and my husband by text, phone call, emails, invoice 7 times between XXXX - XXXX, even though I told them I no longer owned the car twice. They threatened me and my husband that I was legally responsible because I was the last registered owner. If I don't pay, they'll put a lien on my property and hurt my credit. They only gave me 2 hours to pay for a {$500.00} discount. Under the pressure and unable to contact the auto charity donation company to verify the facts, I paid the {$3400.00} and wished I could dispute the charge with my credit card company. On XX/XX/XXXX, due to the extreme stress from the debt collector, I started have XXXX XXXX and had a XXXX on the next day ( XX/XX/XXXX ) After that, I suffered recovery from XXXX and is now going through a series of XXXX treatments in the hope to get XXXX again, which cost me about {$1500.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX, the XXXX, who process legal document of my car donation, mail a letter to the Towing company and stated that I was not legally responsible. I was not sure if I did NRL in XXXX at that time. On XX/XX/XXXX, I visited a local DMV office and confirmed that I did submitted NRL in XXXX so I should not be responsible. I called the towing company at XXXX, provided the facts and asked for a refund. They refused and claimed that I should ask the reimbursement from DMV and the donation company because their debt collector followed a " standard procedure ''. I also emailed Lien Receivable and provided the fact. No response so far. BTW, I'm in the process of getting a certified NRL in XXXX from XXXX DMV to prove that I'm not liable in the vehicle this year.

Hello, I writing to you today because I have been receiving unwanted phone calls from a dept. collector called Lien Receivables LLC. This company has threatened to garnish my wages if not paid by a certain time frame and take me to small claims court. I have received repeated unwanted phone calls from this company. I have asked them numerous times to send me a letter by mail so I could properly address the situation. The supervisor has said he will not mail letters to me because he does not want to inquire that cost. They have threatened to report this to my employer and garnish my wages and take me to small claims court if this matter is not resolved. They even gave me a dead line to pay. Also they have said they were going to offer a {$200.00} credit if paid by XXXX. They speak in circles and do not properly tell me what they are trying to collect on. They have been confrontational and have threatened me. I do not know who these people are and I am trying to confirm if this company is a legit company, this is why I ask for all communication be sent by mail only so I have a record of it. They speak to me in a dominant rude matter and will not listen to me or answer my questions properly. If this company is a legit company they should mail letters out to the people so there is a record of all communication. There is a lot of scammers out there and we are just trying to be careful. Respectfully, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

I was contacted by Lien Receivables LLC in XXXX XXXX, CA regarding a towing of a motorcycle and storage. They indicated that the vehicle is mine, which it is not, that it had not been claimed and therefore had been sold, but the proceeds were not enough to cover all the costs involved, and that I owe {$2300.00}. They sent me documents via text message for a motorcycle, which I never owned, and at an address for which I have never lived at. I told the caller on the initial call that it is not my vehicle and that they have the wrong person. I continued to receive text messages, phone calls, and a letter indicating threatening actions including contacting my employer, taking me to court, and such if I did not resolve the matter. I have repeatedly told them that they have the wrong person and I have never owned the vehicle in question. I looked up the phone number ( XXXX ) XXXX, that texted me and found allegations that this company is a scam and this tactic has been used against others. I researched the company name and found some similar evidence that they are not legit. I have asked them to not contact me anymore, but they continue to harass me.

Complaint is to unfair collection actions by the above named company. On XX/XX/XXXX, my husband received a call after XXXX XXXX from XXXX about a balance owed from our son. The collector gave private, personal information about our sons debt. My husband relayed on XX/XX/XXXX that our son did not live with us and to stop calling us. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from XXXX with the same company in regards to my sons debt. He did not correctly identify himself. He told me about an accident my son was in, a debt he owed, and a balance owed. I explained my son did not live here and to please stop harassing us. He told me he was allowed to call me repeatedly. I discontinued the call. XXXX immediately called from the same number to my husbands work and proceeded to laugh into my husbands voicemail without identifying himself or the company. He just menacingly laughed into the phone and its the same phone number that XXXX called from. We find him leaving voicemail recordings of him laughing to be threatening, harassing and menacing. This company most certainly is harassing myself and my husband. Please advise.

Employees of Lien Recievables LLC have been harassing myself and my father for a debt collection involving another person. The debt in question is related to someone who had their car towed. I have never owned or registered a car. They started with calling my father last week after they were not able to reach me and he explained that they had the wrong person. They also contacted my mother. Then today they sent me & my father threats of legal action and the documentation of the tow and subsequent lien via text message. The documentation makes it abundantly clear that they are harassing the wrong person. Besides the fact that I have never owned a car, the name, addresses and locations do not match up with any of my information in any way. I told them again that they had the wrong person.
