I wish to file a complaint against the following Law Firm and personnel : LAW FIRM : LINBARGER GOGGAN BLAIR & SAMPSON, LLP Attorneys At Law XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX ( XXXX ) XXXX PERSONNEL : XXXX XXXX Office Manager- XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Attorney at Law- ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX SUMMARY OF WHAT HAPPENED : XX/XX/XXXX I received a COURTESY call from a woman ( XXXX XXXX XXXX stating that she was calling on behalf of their client, XXXX COUNTY IRRIGATION DISTRICT XXXX XXXX, to notify us that we had DELINQUENT Taxes, dating back more than 30 years, from XXXX. ( starting 6 years before we bought the property in XXXX ) .and that the delinquent tax statement had been sent to the previous owner for all those years..they just discovered two days ago that we were the owners. I informed her that we had used a title company and that there was no disclosure of delinquent taxes or liens on the property. She advised me to contact them, that they should be liable.
At my request for more information/details.She said I would receive more detailed information by mail but she did email me a copy of the DELINQUENT Tax statement, which included the principal, penalty due and attorney fee. Also included was the XXXX County Appraisal District information for our property. ( I found out later that the county appraisal district has no association with XXXX County Irrigation District # XXXX XXXX We did not receive anything else until XX/XX/XXXX.
QUEST FOR RESOLUTION XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX I called XXXX County Irrigation District # XXXX, on XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, to validate this delinquent tax claim and personnel there ( XXXX ) RELUCTANTLY gave me the following information about XXXX # XXXX : **They are a separate government ENTITY. not associated with XXXX County Appraisal District **There is no database to look up property tax or locate a specific property in the district **They are affiliated with XXXX **We should contact our title companythey should be liable **ANDfor further information refer to TWC CHAPTER 49 During this time ( XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXX ) I did extensive research and made numerous phone calls. to the XXXX ( District and State ), XXXX XXXX, the Title Company ..AND.STUDIED TWC CHAPTER 49 and CHAPTER 58 ( IRRIGATION DISTRICTS ) ... .the TEXAS TAX CODE XXXX the TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE..etc .
XX/XX/XXXX I had just finished writing an Email to XXXX XXXX, again requesting more information to validate this Delinquent Tax, but, just before I sent it we received a COLLECTION LETTER in the mail from an attorney, XXXX XXXX XXXX, with LINEBARGAR GOGGAN BLAIR & SAMPSON. ( Postmarked XX/XX/XXXX ) The letter demanded payment by XXXX and threatening suit.
We were never advised that this firm was a collection agency. I went to their website and discovered that this firm specializes in CUSTOMIZED COLLECTION PROGRAMS.
At the bottom of this letter, Mr. XXXX quoted a partial section of TWC CHAPTER 58XX/XX/XXXXSEC. 58.305.
58.305 ( a ) the assessments shall be levied against all irrigable land in the district on a per acre basis, whether or not the land is actually irrigated.
Through my research I have concluded that this does not support the claim against us.
1 ) We do not have irrigable land 2 ) Our property is not an ACRE ( plus it has buildings and a parking lot ) 3 ) Irrigation Districts created under TWC CHAPTER 58 are for the SOLE purpose of irrigating land for agriculture 4 ) AND According to the information I received from the TEXAS LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, XXXX County Irrigation District was not legislatively created. It was created in XXXX, at the county level, using procedures now contained in the TWC, TITLE 4. GENERAL LAW, CHAPTER 58. IRRIGATION DISTRICTS.
Call me nave or ignorant.I still believed this was and honest mistake on their part..so I continued my pursuit for RESOLUTION or at least clarification. I am in not a lawyer and I dont claim to have and legal background.
XX/XX/XXXX XXXX ) My husband CALLED XXXX # XXXX ( recorded conversation ) this was the THIRD phone call and my husband spoke to XXXX she said told him we could only get information through the law firm since we were put in there for collection 2 ) I CALLED LINBARGER FIRM ( recorded conversation ) I spoke with Mr. XXXX secretary about the letter demanding payment in by Monday and that we still had concerns about the validity of the claim and information about XXXX # XXXX to share with them.
She stated the following : **that XXXX # XXXX was a new client to their firm **not to worry about the deadline, that it was just to remind us we had a balance due **we could contact a Mr. XXXX XXXX from the District, but that Mr. XXXX, from their office, told her to let us know that EVERYONE in the XXXX # XXXX district had to pay flat rate fees.
**she would let XXXX XXXX know we wanted to meet with her We did not hear from XXXX XXXX
XX/XX/XXXX I Sent email to XXXX XXXX requesting meeting.
No response XX/XX/XXXX Morning Call- I called XXXX XXXX ( recorded call ) She said that due to COVID their office was closed to the public, we could only have a conference call. Call was set up for later that day.
Afternoon Call- XXXX XXXX called us for the conference ( recorded call ) I relayed to XXXX that I had too much information to be done over the phone and I would email her what information I had.
She informed me that we would be getting an updated statement with any penalties accrued since the last statement.
At this point I realized they had no interest in what we had to tell them. So I researched on Collection Agency Procedural processes and discovered the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT.
These are the Sections that I believe the LINEBARGER GOGGAN BLAIR & SAMPSON, LLP VIOLATED : S807. False or misleading representations S809. Validation of debts XX/XX/XXXX After discovering that we could contest the Delinquent Tax Claim I sent an email to XXXX XXXX contesting. I included a list of concerns.
As of this date we have received no response.
XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX Sent Public Information Request to XXXX # XXXX via certified mail also emailed a copy of this letter to XXXX XXXX.-waiting for a response XX/XX/XXXX- Sent email to XXXX XXXX requesting more public information from XXXX # XXXX-waiting for a response

I appeared in court on XXXX/XXXX/2015. I then agreed to pay {$440.00} on a payment plan of {$88.00} starting on XXXX2015-XXXX2015 with Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson .
On XXXX XXXX @ XXXX, I spoke with XXXX @ LGB & S. To ask why my check was not cashed. XXXX stated that it was posted on XXXX XXXX, 2015. I stated to her that it was mailed on XXXX/XXXX/15 and according to my bank you received it no later than XXXX/XXXX/15. She then said I owed XXXX the full amount. I then asked her again when did you receive my check and why has it not been cashed. I knew she did not have a clue of what was going on because the full amount is XXXX. This is unacceptable because the check was sent in enough time and still was not cashed. She should have said the full amount was XXXX not XXXX. In other words she received the check on XXXX/XXXX/2015 and now I have to pay the full amount and longer am on a payment plan although she never stated it on the phone. When I told her several times this is unacceptable because the check was there on time. Now you are saying I owe payment in full. I told her I wanted a copy of my check and that I wanted to speak a supervisor and she said no one was available again I stated this is unacceptable and she hung up. I called back and spoke to a XXXX I asked to confirm why my check has not cashed. She stated I needed to contact my bank I told have. I told her this is unacceptable because now I will have fees. She assumed fees from my bank and I stated again I sent my check on the XXXX/XXXX/2015 and it still has not cashed and now I am going to incur fees for it being late. She stated then that how do I know I will have fees. ( according to my agreement plans if it is late there are fees ) I stated to her again you had my check and chose to post it on XXXX/XXXX/2015. She then stated it takes 3/5 business days for a mail arrive. Again I stated it was sent XXXX/XXXX/2015 and there is no way it takes that long to arrive on XXXX/XXXX/2015 ( 10 business days ). I told her I live in XXXX, TX and unless they are in a rural community it does not take that long. I stated that I mentioned XXXX XXXX by mistake and then looked at the letter and told her no it was sent XXXX per the instructions. She then began to state that it posted XXXX/XXXX/2015 and hung up.
I called again @ XXXX asking to LGB & S. I spoke to XXXX again and asked her why has my check not cashed she stated to me you told XXXX it went to XXXX XXXX that 's why it was late I stated to her again I mentioned XXXX XXXX but it was sent to XXXX and there is no reason it should have to taken so long for you to receive and was not late it was there on XXXX/XXXX/2015. I demanded a copy of my check and she left me on hold then returned to say she ca n't send me a coy of the check but could email me my post dates, again I said unacceptable and I wanted my check. she then hung up again.
I called back several times asking for a supervisor but spoke to XXXX again who once again had an explanation of her own and stated that because my check was not sent certified how do I know when they received it again I said because the bank said it would arrive within 5 business days XXXX/XXXX/2015. Again I requested my check and she stated it was posted on XXXX/XXXX/2015. I said to her does the mail not work for me but only for your company because I have a letter that is dated XXXX/XXXX/2015 demanding XXXX and I received it on XXXX/XXXX/2015. I told her once again I do not believe you received my check on XXXX/XXXX/2015, instead the check was not opened until XXXX/XXXX/2015 and now it is late. I again demanded a copy of my check and asked why has it not been cashed. Although on XXXX/XXXX/2015 and XXXX/XXXX/2015 both XXXX and XXXX stated it was cashed. She said no and stated the full amount is owed although they supposedly already cashed my check. The letter I received XXXX/XXXX/2015 now says send payment to XXXX XXXX not XXXX.

I am being extorted and harassed by Linebarger, Goggan, Blair & Sampson, LLP for a debt was paid immediately upon being notified of a toll amount of {$5.00} was due to XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) in XXXX, Virginia for using the Downtown tunnel on XX/XX/XXXX.
I never received a toll bill from XXXX. XXXX mailed the bill to my previous home address. I moved from that location in XX/XX/XXXX and immediately changed my Driver 's License and vehicle registration to my new address.
LGBS has no motivation to correct their mistakes. I believe they systematically implement high pressure intimidation tactics to extort money from out of state motorists. It is my opinion that LGBS is running a legally sanctioned scam that violates Virginia law.
I submit the attached documentation and chronological order of events as evidence of the following behaviors by LGBS which in my opinion include : Extortion, intimidation, harassment, mail fraud, ethical misconduct, ignorance of the law, bad faith dealings, broken public trust and hiding behind their good old boy relationship with XXXX XXXX XXXX to run a legally sanctioned scam against out of state motorists.
Enclosed please find a copies of the following evidence that documents the chronological order of events that have lead me to file this complaint : XXXX XXXX XXXX passed through the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Exhibit 1 - XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) receives Notice of Debt letter dated XX/XX/XXXX from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP. ( LGBS ) XXXX Exhibit 2 XXXX mails dispute letter to LGBS certifying that she never received a request from XXXX to pay a toll. She asked for proof the invoice for the toll was actually sent to her. She agreed to pay the original toll amount upon receipt of the original toll invoice.
XXXX Exhibit 3 XXXX receives Second Notice from LGBS dated XXXX.
XXXX Exhibit 4 XXXX submits second dispute notice to LGBS.
XXXX - Exhibit 5 XXXX receives Debt Validation Notice ( DVN ) from XXXX dated XXXX.
XXXX Exhibit 6 XXXX responds to LGBS and confirms the DVN proves the original invoice was mailed to her previous address which was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, SC XXXX. XXXX certified that the USPS did not forward the ERT invoice to her new address. XXXX moved and re-established her permanent residence at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, SC XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX which was more than two years before XXXX XXXX drove through the tunnel.
Exhibit XXXX Copy of SC Department of Motor Vehicles SC Document of Registration issued XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, SC XXXX XXXX Exhibit 8 Copy of Original invoice with {$5.00} cash taped to it that was mailed to LGBS along with all enclosed documentation that proved LGBS incompetence created a totally fabricated debt and penalties for their personal enrichment at the expense of the motoring public.
XXXX Exhibit 9 XXXX response to LGBS demand for payment referencing all previous correspondence and previously submitted proof that the debt was fictitious.
XXXX Exhibit 10 XXXX receives Debt Validation Notice XXXX and LGBS demand for payment.
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) called LGBS and spoke to a representative who confirmed LGBS had applied the {$5.00} to the outstanding balance and confirmed that LGBS had received all documents that had been submitted and had determined the remaining balance had to be paid or debt collection actions against XXXX would continue. XXXX requested to speak to an attorney about these matters and was told he would be contacted by one of LGBSs attorneys.
XXXX Someone claiming to represent LGBS called XXXX at XXXX Eastern from XXXX and insisted that the entire debt was due and that LGBS had dismissed the authenticity and validity of all documentation that had previously been provided. The individual claimed that collection activities for the full amount would continue until paid.

On XXXX XXXX, 2017, I had to call the XXXX County Toll Authority because I was having trouble retrieving my account online. I spoke with XXXX who informed me that I have a {$40.00} credit in my account, by the XXXX tag in my car had been inactivated and I now have toll violations totaling over {$200.00}. I asked XXXX why I was never informed about the violations and she said the two notifications they sent out came back. Come to find out, they had my apartment number incomplete ; which does n't make sense because I 've received correspondence to my address from the Toll Authority before. I also verified with XXXX they had my correct email on file and asked her why was n't I notified via email when they saw the mail had gotten returned. XXXX could n't give me a reason, but apologized for the mix up and said she would waive the administrative fees that had accrued since I was n't properly notified. However, there were XXXX violations that they already invoiced and sent over to a third party collector : Lineberger, Goggin, Blair and Sampson. XXXX told me she could n't waive the collector 's fees and I would have to contact them directly to discuss that. I spoke with XXXX at the collector 's office and told her that I was never notified of the debt I wanted to speak to someone about the fees being waived since due diligence was n't done. Just like the XXXX County Toll Authority, XXXX read my address and the apartment number was incomplete. XXXX said they get all their information from the Toll Authority who gets their information from the DMV. I told XXXX that I 've received documents from the Toll Authority before at my current address and my address is also reflected on my license ( so the DMV would have the correct information as well ). I informed XXXX that because of their mistake, the Toll Authority was going to waive their fees and I would just have to pay the toll amounts. XXXX advised me to fax proof of the fee waiver from the Toll Authority to XXXX, attn : XXXX and someone will review the information to determine if the fees from the collector should be waived as well. I called the XXXX County Toll Authority back and spoke with XXXX at XXXX, who said they do n't provide physical papers to the collector because the collector can see all of the notes in the system. XXXX documented my account that the Toll Authority was waiving their fees and told me to call the collector back and tell them they can find the documentation they need in the notes. I called the collector back at XXXX and spoke with XXXX , who transferred me to the XXXX branch by mistake. I called the collector back again at XXXX and spoke with XXXX , who then transferred me to XXXX XXXX the original rep I had spoken with ). I told XXXX what the representative from the Toll Authority told me and she said they ca n't take off the fees. I then requested to speak with a supervisor or someone who is authorized to exercise discretion about their collection fees and she transferred me to XXXX XXXX ; I left XXXX XXXX a voicemail requesting a call back at XXXX. It 's been a week and I still have n't heard back from XXXX XXXX or anyone at the collection agency. My issue is that I was n't aware of the toll violations because I thought my XXXX tag was working and was never notified by anyone, about the violations. I should n't have to pay a fee for something I was n't informed about ( especially when they had other ways to contact me : email, phone ) and therefore, never had a chance to dispute the debt ; Which is a violation of my consumer right. I have already paid the tolls that were owed, but I 'm not able to pay the XXXX that were invoiced because the amount includes the collector 's fees, which I feel I should n't have to pay. The collector did not do their part in contacting me and should n't be able to charge a fee for a service that was n't provided.

I am writing to you to plead for your assistance regarding the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( HCTRA ) in XXXX, Texas, primarily regarding toll violations and specifically regarding the law firm Linebarger, Goggon , Blair & Sampson, LLP, a collection law firm for HCTRA.
I have toll violations in the amount of {$530.00}. I discovered that these violations occurred when my card HCTRA had on file became invalid. When I found out the amount I knew I would n't be able to pay them until I received a paycheck. I had just begun working as an XXXX XXXX and I was also scheduled to start receiving social security benefits.
I lost my son in an accident in XXXX XXXX, and then became unemployed in XXXX XXXX. I had a total XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX. I had no funds coming into the household. My daughter and her family moved in with me to help me recover from the XXXX and pay living expenses. Having no source of income during this time, I would have lost my home and my vehicle if not for their help.
The reason for the heavy XXXX use starting in XXXX was because in the first weeks of XXXX, I had numerous trips where I used the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and the XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was unaware that my card they had on file was invalid. ( I had not used the toll roads often prior to XXXX ). Therefore, I acquired the toll violations.
I assumed that once I received a paycheck, I could go the XXXX store and easily resolve this matter. After all, I had been an XXXX customer for over 19 years without ANY previous issues! It should be a " piece of cake ''.
XXXX XXXX, XXXX was the first day I was available to go to the XXXX store. I spoke to a representative and she informed that my account had been turned over to a collection law firm, Linebarger, Goggon , Blair & Sampson, LLP. She indicated that she could not assist me there. And told me that my violations incurred were totaling {$530.00}.
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I called Linebarger, Goggon, Blair & Sampson, LLP. I waited " on hold '' for 57 minutes before I could speak with someone. I set up a payment plan that day. The balance that was due was {$530.00}. I paid {$120.00} that day and agreed to pay {$100.00} per month until XXXX XXXX.
I made the next payment on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, for {$100.00}. Once again I held on the line for about 40 minutes. In XXXX I called to make a payment on the XXXX. This time I held on the line about 30 minutes before I decided to hang up and call the next day to make the payment. I forgot to call back the next days and when I realized that I had missed the payment I did n't have the money to make the payment. I planned on paying twp payments in XXXX.
Several days later after missing the XXXX payment, I received a letter from Linebarger saying that I now owed {$910.00}! I was shocked to say the least. The balance at this point should have been {$300.00}.
I called Linebarger about the letter and this time I held for only a few minutes, I was told I had to speak to my account representative, XXXX. ( I held for him for 30 minutes ). Once he was on the line I asked him why the letter I received said I owed {$910.00}. He said I that did not honor the payment plan and it was cancelled and that is what I owed now. I asked if I could make a payment that day and set up a NEW payment plan, He said no. I offered to pay the balance that I should have owed of {$300.00}. ( Even though this would have put me in serious financial straits He said no, that I owed {$910.00} plus another fee had been added of ( I think ) {$2.00}. I told XXXX that I was an XXXX and not being able to use the toll roads was hindering my employment and costing me money. He said that was basically my problem in so many words and said he could not do anything to help me. I pleaded with him to please help me resolve this situation

I would like to report an incident with the Collection agency Linebarger Gogan Blair and Sampson LLP.
Ive looked up the other reviews of this company. How is it possible this company is still operating?
This is n't a business consumers CHOOSE to deal with. So these reviews do nothing but provide everyone a place to commiserate.
Who is doing something to correct this problem?
I have all my calls with them recorded and can be found here in the dropbox link below.
I have attempted to take care of a supposed toll violation with them and they have made that impossible to do by not providing me with the information of the infraction.
I tried to handle this with the NYS thruway but they said after its in collections that Its out of their hands. I received no prior notifications of this infraction and the NYS thru way informed me this was for an infraction from XX/XX/2014.
I have repeatedly asked to speak to a Supervisor at LGBS firm and i actually got one representative trying to pretend HE was the Supervisor. I believe this is clear from the Phone calls.
Please find my Phone recordings of my attempts to address a Violation notice I recently received from this firm.
XXXX Call 1 - I reach XXXX - Call 2 XXXX I call and again XXXX answers - ( Starts at XXXX minutes ) Call 3 - I reach XXXX ' ( supposedly ) ( starts at XXXX ) Then im transferred to 'XXXX ' as requested ( Supposedly ) Call 4 - I reach XXXX Call 5 - I reach XXXX - after 2.5 hours im transferred to a supervisor named XXXX Call 1 - I wanted to know what my violation and what collection letter was for. XXXX provided only adversity to my questions threatening to hang up on me when I asked him for details which I have the right to know before paying such a request. He states that " I wont argue with you, sir '' when I tell him I want to know what the collection is for exactly.
Call 2 - After a 21 minute wait. ( go to Call two, start at XXXX minutes ) XXXX answers again. I asked to speak to a supervisor named XXXX. ( I had called again prior to this call and a female told me to call back and ask for XXXX who is the supervisor ) XXXX answers then puts me on hold and hangs up the line after short time after being put on hold ( music playing in background ) Call 3 - I call back. 'XXXX ' Who clearly is XXXX answers. I ask to speak to XXXX. Im 'transferred ' to XXXX however im clearly put on hold which is obvious by the ON HOLD tones every minute rather than the Music playing in background. After a wait of 5 minutes of being put on HOLD. XXXX ' picks up and sounds exactly like XXXX and XXXX before him. Obviously this is XXXX.
Call # 4 - After asking for a supervisor im put on hold for over an hour and half after which point their firm is closed at XXXX.
Call # 5 - I again ask for a supervisor - Im put on hold for 2.5 hours. I finally get a supervisor and he is unwilling to answer any of my questions regarding who to report to if I had a problem with his employees. He refuses to answer stating that he needs my account number first before he can address anything. He tells me he can not address anything till he pulls up my account. He can not find it. I ask him who then do I speak to if I have a problem with one of their employees. He then hangs up on me.
Clearly this person, XXXX as well as his associates are preventing me from reaching a supervisor to resolve the matter or there is no supervisor OR the supervisor is just as irresponsible as the employees.
Purpose of this report is to try and correct these situations from persisting but it seems they keep going on with no repercussions.
The company will undoubtedly respond : COMPANY BELIEVES IT ACTED APPROPRIATELY AS AUTHORIZED BY CONTRACT OR LAW. Lets see v

This is a copy of the letter I sent to the agency in question XX/XX/XXXX o whom it may concern, My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am hereby registering a formal complaint against employees of the firm Linebarger, Goggan, Blair and Scoggins.
XXXX XXXX, a paralegal, and a XXXX XXXX, Texas Bar number XXXX.
On XXXX XXXX, I had a conversation with XXXX XXXX about XXXX that I initiated. I have some unpaid tolls that I need to address. I called last week and left a message, and was following up on it. In my discussion with XXXX XXXX, she was rude, unprofessional, and threatening. Informing me that if I used the tollway for any reason i would be arrested for trespassing and that i was committing a crime every time i got on the tollway. When I told her I was calling to just get something worked out, she told me my balance was some XXXX dollars. I did n't agree with this balance, and told her that i had worked out a settlement with them in XX/XX/XXXX. She pulled the record 's and told me that I did n't finish the agreement. When I asked what can be worked out, she stayed she could take a credit card for the balance. I stated I could not do that, and wanted to make arrangements, and a possible settlement. She stated she could do around XXXX. I informed her i could make some monthly payments, and she reminded me again that i had been committing a class c misdemeanor every time i drove- whether it was on the tollway, or not. When i asked to speak to her supervisor, I was told that she was not available. She insisted that she would have to call me back. The experience worth XXXX XXXX was horrible. All I want to do is try and get this worked out.
XXXX XXXX called me back and left a message on my voice mail, and I returned her call. The experience with with the attorney was even more horrid than the previous call. When I called back, XXXX XXXX answered the call, I asked for the attorney, and she answered on speaker phone. I asked if we could have a private conversation, and she refused, stating that XXXX XXXX was her paralegal, and anything I had to say could be said in front of her. Since I wanted to file a complaint against XXXX XXXX, I did n't feel comfortable speaking on a speaker phone. I again requested that we have a private conversation, and the attorney refused. She was also very rude and unprofessional. She refused to take me of speaker phone. When I then asked for her supervisor, she informed me that his name was XXXX XXXX and that he was not in either. She stated she would email him a message and the call ended.
I then received a rude, abrasive voice mail from her stating that XXXX XXXX would be out of the office until Thursday and '' that is all '' in a rude condescending tone.
I recognize that I have some violations and I initiated contact to try and attempt to resolve these issues. Treating me like some third class citizen, and is actively committing crime is a disgraceful way to address this.
Also, according to their website, they are governed by the FDCPA, and at no time during any of my conversations, did they advise me of my Mini Miranda rights, or that they were communicating from a debt collector. They have also threatened criminal prosecution, and arrest, which are also violations.
They have, therefore, violated my consumer rights and are subject to serious penalties.
I really would like to try and resolve this amicably if possible. I will request however that I deal with another attorney in their firm who can hold a conversation with class and dignity, and stay within the confines of the law.

The following might not be in the correct order, however the call was recorded and you can request to hear that conversation for exact verbage.
I received correspondence via a letter in the mail from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP yesterday, XX/XX/2023, I immediately called to inform them I was in receipt of their letter stating I owed an amount of {$86.00}. I asked for the name of the person I was speaking with and he replied with XXXX. I attempted to explain the error in receiving that letter, and he interrupted me and asked to verify some information. When I didn't answer him with what he wanted to hear, he got rather abusive with his words and telling me that the vehicle was mine. I insisted that it was not and there was an error. He them put me on hold for a longer period of time and when he came back he said he verified that the debt was owed by me. The information he was asking for was an acknowledgement of who I was and the debt owed of {$86.00}. I tried to explain that I did not owe the money he was stating I owed. He then jumped in and said how did I want to pay the debt and if I wanted to use a Visa or Mastercard etc. I said the debt stated was not my debt. He verified an old address of where I had lived and continued to state that I owed the debt to XXXX XXXX. I tried to explain the license plate on the letter was not mine. I told him that I had an account with XXXX XXXX and it was in good standing with a sufficient balance for future tolls accrued.
He put me on hold for several minutes and when he returned he stated the car license plate was in my name. I tried to explain the license plate could not be in my name and it was an error. He continued to insist the debt was mine. Again, I reiterated that it was not my license plate and not my debt, I asked who his supervisor was and after hesitation and asking why I wanted to speak with his supervisor. I explained that I wanted to let his supervisor know how he conducted himself and how rude he was to me. Rude is not a proper word for his demeanor! After several attempts for him to decipher how to spell his supervisors name and hesitant to divulge that information, he did and it was XXXX XXXX. I immediately again stated it was not my debt and hung up. I would also like it to be known that my husband was in the room with me and I had the call on speaker hone so he could hear my entire conversation, This morning, I immediately called the toll free number and spoke with a woman named XXXX, who I might say was extremely professional and after a few minutes transferred me to a person named XXXX XXXX as XXXX XXXX was not answering her call. After explaining the issues and also identifying myself, I explained the same thing I had explained to XXXX. He said that he would review the call an get back to me. I advised him that I was filing a complaint against this person named XXXX and the Colorado Attorney Generals Office for Fair Debt Collection Practices Act for investigation, which I am doing right now.
No one should be spoken to the way XXXX spoke to me. There were other ways to get his point across. He also was extremely rude when he was asking me if I wanted to be taken off their automated calling system by insisting I had to answer to him. The last time I checked, he wasn't one of my parents and hung up on him. As I said, alot was said and I might be leaving something important out from the conversation. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing back from you.

Received a letter from a law firm that is in " cahoots '' with the State of Florida and Florida 's XXXX XXXX, FDOT Toll by Plate/Violation.. Apparently There is a law firm attempting to make huge " returns ' off of errors of the Florida XXXX XXXX FDOT Toll by Plate Violation system. I received a letter stating that I owed {$15.00}. I do n't owe {$15.00}. Im on automatic credit card with the Florida XXXX XXXX FDOT and I called the The Florida XXXX XXXX and spoke to a rep that explained that they did n't have my license plate properly linked to my account, which is n't true. I have had it linked for many years. They also said that a different vehicle with a year of 2011 was on file. I have never owned a 2011 BMW. Obviously the intergrity of the records at this Florida XXXX XXXX is at question, but that 's not a reason enough to rectify but rather use it as an " business opportunity '' to " extort '' fees and money from a Citizen of Florida. Even further threaten to " mar '' and " damage '' a persons credit that can be damaging to a persons credit score over false inaccurate information that smells awfully opportunistic. Once I figured out what was going on here and after speaking to Florida XXXX XXXX, I expected a resolution would be offered to resolve correctly and what I actually owed which is {$3.00}, instead the rep was instructed to refer me to the LAW FIRM where they can " tap '' there money from the SCHEME. The rep at the Law Firm " XXXX '' XXXX XXXX, had one MISSION only and that was to collect a {$15.00} fee. No offer to validate, just collect collect collect, No validation offered to the error I identified until I really pressed him with a CFPB complaint. Even further that was only after waiting 45 minutes on the phone for a rep to even come on. Instead this LAW firm headed up by XXXX XXXX XXXX, attorney at law, wants you just to pay on there automated system so they can extort there heafty fees. Only after pressing and telling " XXXX '' ( name below ) that a complaint was going to be filed on this scheme did he then provide a partial itemization what is going on here. Apparently there is a {$3.00} toll that has had {$12.00} in admin and legal fees added to it. That 's a 400 % RETURN.. That 's Usury disgused as a FEE.. Even worst yet it sources from the FAILURE Of the FLORIDA XXXX XXXX, where a LAW firm as noted is taking them up on a opportunity to make a HEAVY return. Once I realized what was going and straightened out the FLORIDA XXXX XXXX data and system matching error, and Also updated my credit card expiration that happens to everyone, I said I would pay what was owed. Instead the LAW FIRM insisted that they collect the additional {$12.00}. This is VERY WRONG due to the failure of the FLORIDA XXXX XXXX system and " business dealings '' with this LAW FIRM that I have to pay a penalty for there Data errors that are using OUR TAX PAYER FUNDED LICENSE PLATE SYSTEM. I received no other communication other that this LAW FIRM letter with a very forceful COLLECTOR attempting to extort a 400 % return. I can only assume that they are doing this is " MILLIONS of people ''. Possibly entering false collections or aggressive collections on peoples credit reports. PLEASE CEASE AND DESIST this crooked operation that are harming good paying and good credit people.

My husband and I live in northern XXXX and visited XXXX for six weeks this past XXXX . We use toll roads on a regular basis here in the north, so we have an EZ-Pass transponder in our car. We made sure to have that in the car for the time we were in XXXX so that we would be in compliance with the new toll roads that have been instituted in XXXX since we last lived there. Last week we received a collection letter from Linebarger, Goggan, Blair & Sampson, LLP , dated XXXX XXXX , 2017 , informing us that we immediately owed them {$79.00} for unpaid XXXX tolls. We were stunned since we thought we had been in total compliance. When I called XXXX , we sorted out that we have an EZ-Pass and not an EZ-Tag so we had not been charged the tolls we thought we had been paying. He said we had been mailed a bill on XXXX XXXX , 2017 , which detailed the tolls and fees. We never received that letter. At the time, our mail was being forwarded from XXXX to our temporary address in XXXX ; apparently that letter went astray. The letter we got from Linebarger , Goggan, Blair & Sampson, LLP claimed on the front to list a Detail of Violation Notices, Fees, Fines & Costs on the back, but all it listed was a single line with the invoice number, the XXXX date and a total of {$79.00}. Nothing else. Against our will and to de-escalate future fees, we have paid this bill. We are very upset at the procedures followed by the XXXX in this matter. In the first place, a single letter is hardly sufficient notification of a debt for most people. If there is only going to be one notification, it should be sent Certified Mail. If that seems an onerous expense for the XXXX , then at the very least a second and third notice should be sent before a collection letter. We live in rural XXXX and find that at least two to three pieces of our mail do n't make it to us each year. Yes, one piece of mail from a particular source can certainly go astray, but it is much less likely to happen to two pieces of mail from the same source. It is also inappropriate that we have not received a detailed, printed accounting of the tolls and fees that we have just paid. For the amount of money apparently added on to our tolls for the privilege of receiving a collection letter, it would be nice to know how much of that is actually toll charges and how much is XXXX and collection agency fees. Also, when I called to pay the invoice, a recording said that we owed {$79.00} but that that amount may not reflect the full amount due. What does this mean? That once we have authorized a payment of {$79.00}, Linebarger, Goggan, Blair & Sampson, LLP , are free to add additional fees to my bill now that they have my credit card number? It made us pause before giving our credit card number, but we were basically being coerced to do so by a guarantee of additional fees if we didnt versus a possibility of additional fees if we did so. Hardly a fair choice.

On XXXX/XXXX/16 I spoke with this debt collector in regard to a debt they have in my name from XXXX XXXX. They gathered my phone number, address, name, and reference number at the beginning of the call. I spoke with them about my desire to dispute the debt and its validity at which time they advised that I mail them a letter in writing in regard to my desire to dispute my debt. I mailed the letter and a check for the original bill, before the addition of late fees ( {$18.00} ) that day. I heard nothing back from the debt collector and I mailed another letter asking what the status was of my account on XXXX/XXXX/16. On XXXX/XXXX/16 i received a letter in the mail from the original debtor, XXXX stating that since I had not paid the bill in question they would be assessing late fees to my account. I called XXXX and was told that they had no record of a payment for {$18.00} on my account. I was able to resolve the debt with XXXX and they advised that I request to have my check for {$18.00} returned to me. I called the debt collector and spoke with XXXX to ask that they return my check, at which point he claimed that the check was mailed to me on XXXX/XXXX/16. To date I have not received my check in the mail. I asked to speak with a supervisor at which point I was told that his supervisor was on another call. He stated that he looked into this issue further and found that the check was mailed to " the address they had on file '' which is an old address, hence why I did not receive my address in the mail. I told him that it was impossible for them to not have my current address as they ask for it at the beginning of each phone call, the letter I mailed had my address as the return address, and my checks have my address clearly printed on the top corner. He stated I should call my bank to have a stop payment placed on this check ( this would cost me an additional {$35.00} through my bank ). I am disappointed that this company was so lazy in their attempt to mail back my check. Instead of using the information I gave them multiple times to mail the check back to me they mailed it to a complete stranger who now has access to my banks account number, routing number, and a signed check. I am completely open to countless scenarios of fraud involving my personal finances due to the laziness of a debt collector. I do not have disposable income to throw around money to place stop payments on checks that were haphazardly handled by a law firm specializing in debt collection. This definitely qualifies as improper contact, as they mailed a complete stranger my personal check as well as mail from themselves, the debt collectors. They knew this was an incorrect/old address for me based on how many times they were given updated information.
I am still in the process of confirming whether or not this check was illegally cashed.

Basically, I used to have an active XXXX XXXX account with a credit card attached for billing purposes. When that credit card was rendered inactive due to being maxed out, I forgot about it multiple times and continued going through XXXX XXXX toll lanes ( in NY state ), which led to outstanding toll violations and fines.
Upon my own fault, I kept forgetting to settle the outstanding amount I owed XXXX XXXX. Because of that, XXXX XXXX rightfully referred my debt to Linebarger, Goggan, Blair, and Sampson. I then realized this had to be paid as soon as possible, so I contacted them to pay any outstanding debt.
I 've already paid several hundred dollars for debt that I owed from XXXX XXXX ( including fines attached ). However, here 's where it all started to go wrong. I was told more than once that I could " settle '' for less than the amount owed if I paid by a certain date, which I did. Upon calling back to confirm such payment has been settled, I was told that there was no record of a settlement and that I still owed more money ( with additional fines attached ). Credit card statements DID show that this collection agency charged the full amount discussed and was paid. At one point, I had several different customer services representatives on the phone, as well as a supervisor. They all gave me different amounts ranging from a total of {$50.00} to a total of over {$600.00} for the exact same debt violation ( s ). I became so confused at this point that I did n't know what I owed anymore, not to mention I was told on multiple occasions that a certain outstanding debt was still owed when I had paid it several weeks prior.
I have been making multiple attempts to pay this agency the amount that I rightfully owe them, but it 's become impossible. I 've decided that it 's time to involve the CFPB since each and every individual that I 've spoken to has contradicted each other in regards to what has already been paid and what is still owed ( including the amount itself ).
I have legitimate reason to believe that Linebarger, Goggan, Blair, and Sampson are intentionally using deceptive practices to defraud me as a target of their agency, and that they will continue to do so unless the CFPB becomes involved. I advise any and all individuals falling under the jurisdiction of Linebarger, Goggan, Blair, and Sampson to notify the CFPB at the very first sign of potential fraudulent practices ( as opposed to making the same mistake that I did by delaying my opportunity to file a complaint ). I also advise individuals NOT to assume that any mistake regarding outstanding debt amounts on behalf of Linebarger, Goggan, Blair, and Sampson are accidental. I repeat, DO NOT assume that such mistakes are accidentally caused.

I received a letter at my place of work from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson , LLP located XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX, XXXX. This " Notice of Delinquent Tolls and Fees '' claims I owe this legal firm monies on a debt they claim to be collecting on behalf of Mass DOT ( ~ {$80.00} ). ~ {$25.00} of this " dept '' is for " tolls '' and the other {$45.00} is for " fees for non-payment ''. I can wipe my XXXX with {$80.00} and not lose any sleep, I won't be paying these people anything for the following reasons ; Firstly, sending this letter to my place of employment is clearly rodent thuggery and a sign of inbreeding. This is unacceptable and is an act of terrorism/ intimidation. The harassment has to stop and I requested they take me to court.
Secondly, this debt is predicated on a claim that someone took a picture of my license plate while I was driving on " their XXXX road. This is an invasion of my privacy and this firm has no right to monitor my location or activities.
Thirdly, assuming this firm is legitimate they should have the capacity to mail the invoice to the location the vehicle is registered. They mailed the original invoice to an address I haven't lived at in XXXX years ... How am I supposed to pay a bill I don't know anything about? Why can't these inbreds check with the XXXX and mail the invoice to the location the vehicle is registered? How the XXXX are they this incompetent? They can figure out where I work to intimidate and harass me but they can't figure out where the vehicle is registered?
Forth, the legal firm did not provide it's mailing address on the harassment letter. They provided no reasonable method to resolve the claim, only suggested I mail a letter while they continued to harass me, commit credit attacks against me, prevent me from renewing my registration and license ( further efforts at harassment and intimidation ), and accrue more " debt ''.
Fifth, this entire process is so purposefully inept and ridiculous it has to be done with the intent to scam people and steal money. There is no way this process can be legal and the parties involved should be under federal investigation. Just look at where the money is going in this racket. This is by XXXX, they are being purposefully XXXX just to make an extra dollar running this scam.
Finally, these inbred trash people need to contact the XXXX and mail me a check for my time TO THE ADDRESS THE VEHICLE IS REGISTERED. This is not the first time this has happened, there are multiple reviews online that tell the same story ( mailing bills to the wrong address and then refusing to resolve the issue ). When will the government take action? How many more people have to deal with this before something is done?

I am concerned that either New York State XXXX is falsely Billing individuals ; or that someone is pretending to be them ; attempting to get people to pay them money.
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter, ( dated XX/XX/XXXX ) from Linebarger Goggan Blain & Sampson, LLP indicating that I owed {$100.00} to the New York State Thruway Authority.
I called The office on the letter ; and the was told that this was for a New York State License Plate for using an XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX.
The License Plate on this letter is not my car ; I haven't had a New York State License Plate in over 5 years ; and I ( and the only registered cars that I own ) were not in New York State on the days that the charges happened XX/XX/XXXX ; or XX/XX/XXXX.
On XX/XX/XXXX, I called the phone number on the letter ( XXXX ) and spoke with a man. I explained the situation to him ; and he indicated to reply in writing, which I did.
In my letter, I explained 1- That plate number is not my plate number 2- I do not have a New York State Plate 3- Since XXXX, I have always had XXXX XXXX on my car ; so even if it was my car, it should have registered to the XXXX 4- Neither I ; nor the cars that I do own were in New York State at the time the toll was used.
On XX/XX/XXXX, I got another letter in the mail from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson indicating, " Per NYSTA -- -If Customer Submits XXXX Statement that includes transactions for tolls for XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, We will forward it to NYSTA for further research, otherwise violation is due. '' Considering this was not my car, I would not have an XXXX XXXX for it. Whoever received my letter clearly either did not receive it ; nor did they take the time to realize that this was not my car. ( Either that or this is a scam ).
On XX/XX/XXXX, I called Linebarger Goggan Blair and Sampson LLP back ( XXXX ) and spoke with someone who identified herself as " XXXX ''. I asked why I received this letter ; when I already explained that this is not my car. She explained that she is just a third party agent, and the letter was actually sent out by the New York State Tolls. She looked my information up ; and was able to show me the plate numbers that were present. The Photos are very unclear ; and one Letter is blacked out. She explained that and apparent " E '' may be an " F ''. She indicated that she would report this to XXXX.
I am reporting this as the system that XXXX XXXX/ Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson has is one of 2 things : 1. It is either a scam 2. It is terrible customer service ; which may be leading people to pay bills that are not theirs. ( It is often easier to just pay something to make it go away ... then having to address the same issue several times ).

XX/XX/XXXX, I received a mail from a debt collecting agency " Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson , LLP " ( LGBS ) stating that I owe them a debt of {$150.00} from XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). After investigating, I realized that it was a toll charging company. I was skeptical about {$150.00} for a toll. After confirming that I had paid my toll bills, I called LGBS call center stating that I never received a bill from XXXX, and I 'd like some proof that this was n't a scam. After a harassing conversation, the LGBS representative stated that they ca n't give me any info on behalf of XXXX, but said that debt was real and had to be paid. She said if I needed any more info, other than the split for the amount, LGBS was n't the agency responsible to give. So, I called XXXX thereafter. After a polite conversation with the customer representative, I told them that all my toll bills were paid in full. However, XXXX representative insisted that they had sent me four separate mails. Since I had requested for paperless bills, I informed them that this had to be a mistake. The XXXX representative later confirmed my charges and informed that since I had changed my vehicle registration ( Moving from XXXX to XXXX ), a new account had been created, and the bill was automatically sent to the residence due to the lack of email id. Being an international student, and visiting home country for months, I do lose mail. So, with the XXXX representative 's help, I tracked the mail from the post office and confirmed that it was indeed my toll bill dating back to XXXX XXXX. There were XXXX toll charges each with regular toll fee, process fee, late fee and mailing fee totaling to {$35.00} sent on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX due on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I informed the XXXX representative that this is only one fourth of the amount I am being asked to pay. She informed that she has no control over the amount once it goes to the collection agency.
I called back LGBS and informed them how can the fee be so high. As before the representative was very rude, and informed me that this is the fee and I have to pay it. I asked the representative the procedure to obtain a split for the fee. I asked her if I delay my payments any further would they charge me additional fee. The representative stated and I quote- " How would I know. If XXXX asks more, you pay more, if they say the same you pay the same. I am not responsible for your payment, I am here to collect it. '' I paid the full amount and am faxing a request to provide me a copy of the charges. I also reviewed online that I am not the only one harassed by LGBS. XXXX and LGBS together have done this to several people. A simple google search provides examples.

Greetings, Property, : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX Texas XXXX You may have to open another category for such a Misrepresentation of facts and complaints.
As an investor who purchased a property from XXXX County Constables Foreclosure Auction located in XXXX Texas on XX/XX/2018 Im contacting your office asking for assistance.
This is about attorneys ( Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP ) which representing the XXXX County at least in this matter. Misrepresentation of fact and or mistakes has happened which is outrageous and despicable.
This law firm representing XXXX County constables foreclosure auction which take place on first Tuesday of every months and this law firm is responsible party for all legal work and data presenting to constables for all eight ( 8 ) Precincts for Auction.
This is about a house which was sold in the same auction for a value based on what it has been apprised by XXXX County appraisal district ( XXXX ) ( attachment1 ) and Daily Court Review News paper release ( Attachment2 ) and their wide screen monitor.
the picture of house shown in the picture ( attachments3 ) MYSTERIOUSLY THE HOUSE DOESN'T EXIST but a empty lot.
Obviously the law firm didnt correct the fact and irresponsibly sent the incorrect information to constable, as constable informed me.
I have called the law firm and spoke to person named XXXX few times he agreed with me however he didnt have any authority to rewind the sale or offer any solution except asking me to talk to attorney in charge Ms. XXXX who refused to come to the phone to talk to me. Then XXXX asked me to write her a letter and I wrote three letters one certified mail and two e-mails explaining the problem but Ms. XXXX sent me an e mail and offered no solution.
I understood attorney XXXX is the attorney in charge of this matter and she is not willing to admit her mistake and misrepresentation of the fact.
I went and met Sergeant XXXX who is the head of XXXX county constable foreclosure auction for XXXX XXXX ( where the property was bought ) and he is the in charge officer who sold the property to me as a higher bidder, Sergeant XXXX agreed 100 % the mistake or misrepresentation has occurred by Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP law firm and they are the one who need to correct or rewind the sale, but attorney XXXX refused to do anything about it.
At this point I contacted your office ( CFPB ) to file a complaint and the lady at your office asked me the it is better to file complain on line.
Your assistance in this obvious wrong doing is greatly appreciated, For any additional information please call or e-mail me, Thanks, Regards, XX/XX/2018

I received correspondence about a debt that was not mine on XX/XX/2021.
Linebarger Goggan Blair and Sampson, LLP stated that I owed a debt and used language that was oppressive and abusive in this correspondence.
On XX/XX/2021, I sent correspondence to Linebarger Goggan Blair and Sampson, LLP which included : - an affidavit or truth - cease and desist - debt validation letter - invoice for {$5000.00} for violating my rights under the FDCPA.
15 usc 1692e ( 3 ) for false and misleading representation.
15 usc 1692e ( 5 ) for false and misleading representation.
15 usc 1692e ( 9 ) for false and misleading representation.
15 usc 1692d ( 2 ) x 2 for using obscene and profane language with the intent to abuse and harass me Linebarger Goggan Blair and Sampson, LLP received my correspondence on XX/XX/2021.

I responded to their correspondence on XX/XX/2021 with documentation proving that Linebarger Goggan Blair and Sampson, LLP was not exempt from the FDCPA like they alleged and stated that by them not rebutting my affidavit of truth with an affidavit of the truth of their own, they defaulted.

Complaint : XXXXI am rejecting this response because : I have sent a new response via mail to this business.
The " photos '' do not show the driver of the vehicle as requested in the original request for validation.
The photo of " Time and Date '' are only clearly legible in XXXX photo. The photo is too small to show any such validation.
Neither photo shows a location or mile maker of where the car was located on " XXXX XXXX ''.
The original letters very clearly stated to ONLY contact me AGAIN with the Validiation as REQUESTED which was 1 ) A photo of the driver of the vehicle- which was NOT sent 2 ) A photo with the vehicle located on " XXXX XXXX '' - which was NOT sent My cease and desist was VERY CLEAR- if you could n't provide the validation as REQUESTED then DO NOT CONTACT ME. You absolutely denied my cease and desist request by sending " documentation '' that I DID NOT request. You only sent what you " wanted '' to believe is " validation '' to continue to " pursue '' a debt that has yet to be properly " validated '' Additionally- I never received a bill from XXXX XXXX which appears to be a " known issue '' in consumer reports and ripoff complaints. Sending a piece of paper does n't prove they were actually put in the mail or that I actually received them. There is no way to justify an {$80.00} bill for " claiming '' that someone had traveled on a XXXX XXXX twice.
" XXXX XXXX '' has been under scrutiny several times and I will NOT partake in the scam. They are known to send people to collections before sending bills and then by the time people are " notified '' theres added " collections fees '' and " attorney 's fees '' and then blame it on " computers '' or people " moving and not updating addresses. '' Well I 've been at the same address for 7 years ... so explain that XXXX. Their cameras are " high tech '' yet their " computers '' XXXX up XXXX of bills ... read the XXXX reviews on XXXX OR the following articles XXXX I can see why " XXXX XXXX '' wants to collect as much as they can and rack on fees when they are {$450.00} XXXX dollars in DEBT XXXX Since the " attorney 's '' at XXXX XXXX and XXXX may be able to read a cease and desist request- they severely lacked the comprehension to understand the request ... and they proceeded to send me " information '' I did NOT request after receiving a cease and desist demand ...
I 'm tired of being harassed.
I can provide documentation of my letters requesting the Cease and Desist if my validation documents COULD NOT be sent as requested.
Regards, XXXX XXXX

In protest, I paid a fraudulent " speed-trap '' fine of {$350.00} imposed by the XXXX County Colorado Court, XXXX XXXX XXXX, Judge. The fine was for a false police radar claim of 44 mph in a 30 mph zone in XXXX XXXX, Colorado. I was travelling 29 mph at the time, but the police radar unit was operated in an RFI ( radio frequency interference ) -zone created by six large neon-type casino billboards located in the narrow valley of XXXX XXXX. The XXXX County Court lied to me about my hearing date so I would not be aware of my appeal date and accepted the false police radar reading as correct ... and imposed a default judgement.
Since I appealed the above default judgement and delayed payment of my fine, Judge XXXX ordered the cancellation of my Colorado Drivers License and employed the collection form of Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP to collect my fraudulent fine. Since I must travel for work, I was forced to pay the above said fraudulent fine that included court costs, and I did so with a certified bank check, from XXXX XXXX. Linebarger reported to me that they received this check on XX/XX/XXXX but placed a 14-day hold on the check as if it were a personal check. On XX/XX/XXXX, the Clerk of the XXXX County Court advised me that they still had not received any of my fine due to them from Linebarger. In checking with Linebarger that same day, they advised they sent a check to said Court by " snail-mail '' on XX/XX/XXXX. I assume the Court may receive this check on XX/XX/XXXX so the Court can order the Colorado DMV to reinstate my Colorado Drivers License by the following week.
I object to Linebarger 's collection of fraudulent debt, but this may not be corrected in any way. The error in question is Linebarger 's placing a 14-day hold on my certified bank check as if it were a personal check. This delay cost me time, money, forced changes in my classified training schedule, and added delays in my completing training materials all due to my not having my Colorado Drivers Licence promptly restored. My total damages directly caused by Linebarger 's error are {$750.00}.
XXXX. For background purposes, I am a former XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX personnel in various parts of the U.S. Linebarger 's above said error acted to delay my travels at least 2-weeks. To confirm my special operations background, please see the study entitled " XXXX XXXX XXXX ... XXXX XXXX, '' as posted on XXXX ... or check with XXXX.

I'm reporting the XXXX XXXX XXXX ( https : XXXX ) as well as Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson , LLP Attorneys At Law XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) for not ceasing and desisting according to ( 20 U.S. CODE SECTION 1234e ), to collect a presentment that was already dealt with in court- WHICH HAS BEEN PASSED THE TIME OF 3O DAYS LENGTH. and they disregard XXXX XXXX, which means they don't even know what the definition of a crime is. I reported them to the XXXX as well as to the CFPB. I hope that your department would be help to this situation, because they don't have consent from me to attack any of my rights, because I RESERVE MY RIGHTS UNDER ( UCC 1-308 WITHOUT PREJUDICE ). They seem to over look that, and It's a violation.
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX SEE ATTACHMENTS.

Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Hung up on an investigation in regards to a fraudulent collection. In which they refuse to drop charges against me. I owe no debt, as was told to them. corpus delicti Primary tabs XXXX XXXX is a common law XXXX phrase that translates to body of the crime. The phrase generally refers to the principle that no one should be convicted of a crime without sufficient evidence that the crime actually occurred. The rule began in part to prevent the government from punishing individuals for a crime solely based on their confession, which in many cases were false and driven by coercion. In modern practice, corpus delicti requires that the government have enough evidence showing that the essential parts of a crime occurred before they can even charge an individual. If the corpus delicti bar has not been satisfied, the government can not prosecute an individual. Much litigation arises on exactly how much corroborating evidence must show a crime actually occurred before corpus delicti is satisfied and rules vary based on the jurisdiction and the nature of the case. Some states require or used to require that corpus delicti be proven completely separate from the statements of the accused. However, some states such as California allow the statements to be considered alongside some corroborative evidence, and if the statements occurred during the commission of the crime, there may be no requirement for corroborative evidence at all.

In XXXX XXXX I had a few unpaid toll road charges assessed to my license plate from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am a toll tag consumer with XXXX Texas XXXX XXXX. In the state of Texas if you have a toll tag with another agency, your toll tag is operational within the state Texas. Linebarger, Groggan, Blair, & Sampson LLP is a collection law firm for the state of Texas. XXXX fail to notify me about these unpaid charges. They claim they sent invoices to the mailing address associated with my XXXX account. I never received those notices. In fact in XXXX I received an invoice from XXXX and took care of those charges. My mailing address has never changed. After 60 days my unpaid tolls were sent to the collection law firm. They claim they sent notices and phones calls I never received. XXXX XXXX, XXXX was my first notification, because I was renewing my vehicle registration and there was a hold on my registration. I am a law abiding citizen and a tax payer. I would have appreciated if XXXX would have notified me better, so all of this would have been avoided. I have a toll tag account in good standings. Those toll charges could have been deducted from my account. XXXX policies are not set up that way and they do n't share or have access to the different toll agencies. I have been trying to negotiate with the law firm, but they keep giving me the run around. I thought a had a glimmer of hope when a representative from XXXX 's administrative office contacted me to make a settlement with removing some court fees. The total bill is {$490.00} and the administrator offer to reduce the charges to {$280.00}. I counter offer for half of the {$490.00} with {$240.00}. The administrator explained she had to consult with the attorney. The attorney denied my offer and it 's written in their system that I denied the settlement offer and I have to pay the full amount. I need my registration newed so, I will be in compliance with state operating my vehicle on Texas roads. I am restricted to use the toll roads, because this matter is not resolved. This is all a big inconvenience for me. XXXX is being greedy and want to enforce their laws instead of being reasonable and work to with me. I feel I should not have to pay those tacked on fees just the toll road charges which total up to {$14.00}, but I 'm willing to pay some fees, so that I can move on with my life. I do n't have time or the energy to go back and forth with these people. Can you please help me.

On XXXX and XXXX, a vehicle owned by my wife and I with License plate number XXXX, traveled through the XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). XXXX utilized license plate recognition to capture the license plate information. The original amount of the tolls was {$11.00} However, XXXX proceeded to send the statement of activity and all related correspondence about the account to an address not affiliated with the vehicle registration at the time. The vehicle was registered at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX. XXXX 's correspondence was sent to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX. As such we never received any notice about the alleged debt.
Instead, XXXX sold the debt to Linebarger, Goggan, Blair & Sampson, LLP XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX ), fraudulently adding additional late fees in the amount of {$75.00} for a bill that they never notified us about. In XXXX, XXXX, A " Notice of Debt '' was received from. Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP - ATTORNEYS AT LAW threatening legal action over the debt. XXXX ' ( refused to give last name ) answered a inquiry phone call about the account and rudely refused to give any additional information until I started asking for supervisors. She then proceeded to give a different address where disputes needed to be sent.
A dispute letter was sent on XX/XX/XXXX disputing the debt based on 1 ) lack of evidence of initial charge ; 2 XXXX failure to provide 'chain of debt ownership ', and 3 ) the fact that we were never notified of the original debt ( including a copy of our vehicle registration showing the current address ). Linebarger was given 30 days to respond.
In XXXX, XXXX XXXX 6 months later ), a packet was received from Linebarger with copies of the XXXX correspondence, all of which proved that the correspondence had been sent to the wrong address. and failing to provide the information requested and again threatening legal action. Calls to the number ( s ) provided have been met with a dizzying array of voicemails, misdirection, and outright lies ; all of which have failed to produce an answer to our queries.
XXXX has refused to speak about the issue as they have already referred it to collections.
To date, Linebarger has utilized the following addresses to hide their location : - XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX VA XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX

On XX/XX/2023 I was driving on XXXX XXXX XXXX while the vendor ( XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX was conducting some repairs around toll booths at the location. My transponder did not work properly there, either because of vendor construction work or because transponder battery expired. I ordered a new transponder and returned an old one as XXXX as required by service agreement.
On XX/XX/2023 I received a notice from XXXX XXXX requiring payment of said tolls plus excessive administrative fees and dispute resolution form. I filled the form indicating my XXXX account number. I considered the matter resolved as I was diligent customer of XXXX for decades. However, vendor ignored my request and send me another bill with even larger administrative fees and threats of legal action.
The notice number they sent is XXXX. My XXXX account number is XXXX.
Despite having an XXXX transponder and vendor policy of charging fees in such case to my existing account, I have been charged exorbitant fees for using XXXX toll roads. I did pay the amount requested of {$55.00} to stop accrual of fees, but have contacted the vendor and informed them of this issue, and requested refund, but they initially have ignored my dispute form request and continued to over-bill me with additional fees. I have also received threatening legal action if I fail to pay these charges, which is unacceptable.
After my multiple complaints to XXXX state authorities the vendor did refund the fees of {$55.00} on XX/XX/2023, therefore I considered the matter resolved. However, it turned out that vendor decided to turn the case to the bill collector ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX # XXXX ) to collect {$200.00} (! ) for the resolved matter. I consider this a blatant violation of FDCPA in order to continue to harass me for the debt I never owned and violate federal consumer laws for corporate enrichment.
I am very disappointed with the vendor 's illegal action in resolving this matter. I have tried to resolve this issue amicably, but it seems that my concerns have fallen on deaf ears.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
VENDOR : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notice of unpaid tolls and fees from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP dated XX/XX/. In this notice, they have stated that they have been retained to resolve the amount owed to the Delaware Department of Transportation, and according to their client, I have an outstanding amount due in the amount of {$91.00}. First, no where in this letter did they state who that client was which is a direct violation of the FDCPA. Next, I noticed that the license plate number they provided is not my license plate number. Finally, I have never been to Delaware. Pursuant to 15 USC 1692e ( 11 ), they also didn't disclose in this letter that this is an attempt to collect a debt. That's 3 violations already.
So on the same day I received the letter, I called Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP to get some clarification and verification on this alleged debt. The representative I spoke to never gave her name, and was rude and refused to provide me service because I did not feel comfortable giving out my personal and private information which I have a right to do. And by the misinformation in their letter, that gives me even more cause to be concerned with providing my information. It's funny how they never verified this information directly with me like they are supposed to do, but wants consumers to verify their own self to another stranger instead of just taking the reference number that was provided. There is no reason to collect my private information if a reference number is given, unless they are assigning the same reference number to multiple consumers. Since the agent refused to help, I let her know that a lawsuit will be commenced, thanked her, and hung up.
There are multiple violations that this company has committed that I will sue them for, such as opening an account without my consent. Pursuant to 18 USC 1028A, that is aggravated identity theft. They should not have my information without my consent and without verifying directly with me. They are also charging ridiculous fees such as a " violent crime '' fee. This is also against federal law as there is no crime being committed, and if it is, where is the victim? It's clear they are doing this to harass and abuse consumers with their false accusations and absurd fees. They provided no proof/reason as to why or how I owe this alleged debt.

*On XX/XX/XXXX I received a collection notice from Linebarger Goggan Blair and Simpson LLP ( LGBS ) in an attempt to collect a debt on behalf of XXXX XXXX. The notice was dated XX/XX/XXXX and the account number on the notice is # XXXX. The debit is in the amount of {$46.00} ; *On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted LGBS by telephone to explain that the transponder was returned to XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX when I sold my vehicle ( and did not purchase a replacement vehicle so I had no need for a transponder ). I explained that the transponder was returned and did not owe any fees related to it. The individual I spoke with stated that I needed to dispute the debt in writing by sending a letter to LGBS which I did on XX/XX/XXXX ( letter uploaded ). In that letter I indicated I was disputing the claim as the transponder had already been returned and I requested a transaction history showing the charges that were assessed after the return of the transponder.
*I was never provided with any information about the disputed debt by LGBS or XXXX XXXX however, I received an invoice from XXXX XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I wrote yet another letter to LGBS ( also attached ) that I disputed the debt and I was again disputing the debt until I was provided with irrefutable documentation to support the collection claim ( which would not exist as I returned the transponder in XX/XX/XXXX ). In that letter I stated that if the matter was not resolved in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act I would escalate this issue to a regulatory agency. Again, I never received a response to my letter disputing the debt for a second time.
*Yesterday ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I received a SECOND NOTICE from LGBS regarding the debt. Ironically, the Notice states, " You have failed to respond to our correspondence and we are assuming this debit is valid ''. In actuality, I responded three times to dispute the debt ; a telephone call on XX/XX/XXXX followed by a letter date that same day as well as another letter dated XX/XX/XXXX.
*I strongly believe that LGBS should be fined for non-compliance with the FDCPA due to their careless disregard of the Act and my rights under the Act. If they are doing this to me, they are obviously taking the same tactics with other consumers many of whom may not know their rights.

In XXXX 2016 I received a letter from Lineberger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LCC, representatives for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX indicating that on certain dates in the months of XXXX through XXXX 2016 I made toll rides on the XXXX XXXX XXXX and at the time of the toll rides my account was at a XXXX balance. In talking with both the XXXX and its debt collection agency, Both these agencies instructed me to obtain documents that indicated that I owed the debt ( debt totaling $ 1600+ dollars ). Nither of these two agencies provided the information I requested in my written communications. After making one payment of {$580.00} the collection agency decide to make me an pay-off offer of {$530.00} which I did. So I paid of the $ 1600+ debt, I made a total payment of {$1100.00} with my XXXX . Then one month later, I get another demand payment letter from Lineberger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LCC, that two other toll violations made in XXXX ( which by the way were not originally included in the $ 1600+ invoice ) indicated that I owed an additional violation debt of {$160.00}. I wrote to the collection agency that I was protesting the invoice and the violations. I provided information regarding the licenses associated with the tolls, account statements, rental car receipts, etc. that proved that the travel dates indicated on the voice for which the violation occurred did match with the account statement showing the date entry, time entry, travel route, vehicle ID, and toll fee. My biggest problem and that neither one of these agencies responded to my request for more information. I was told by each representative ( verbal and written communication ) that I could make a request for more information, either through fax or written correspondence, which I did but as I said, to date, I have not received any documentation proving how I might owe the debt. This passing the buck back and forth between the two agencies when trying to get information has become very stressful. No one wants to pay such a large fee without any record of proof. As I said I did pay {$1100.00} of the $ 1600+ owned but now XXXX wants more .... without providing any documentation that supports their claim.

Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson LLP, representing the XXXX Department of Revenue, sent me a letter that impersonated an official " notice of judgment '' in the title, and threatened " wage and bank account garnishment, and filing a lien against your home and other property ''. It is not in fact a judgment ordered by a judge, but in smaller print says that " they will soon be making a determination as to whether you are a candidate for further collection efforts ''. This is over a single parking ticket in XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX, originally for {$60.00} for sweet sweeping. In XXXX, the street cleaning occurs twice a month and there are temporary orange signs that are placed on the street. There was not a single sign posted on the side of the street I parked on. Further, the picture they sent in the parking ticket showed that there was no orange sign on the adjacent tree or anywhere else. I took pictures of the signs I did see, on the other side which indicated a different day, and contested the ticket. They denied it and doubled the fine. As a XXXX XXXX I had to drive back to New York for the semester and couldn't contest the ticket a third time because I could not physically go to the XXXX court house. I have paid every other XXXX parking ticket but was upset that the system is so unjust and figured I would pay it if I moved back to XXXX. The lawyers started sending me several letters in the last year that threaten wage garnishment. I called them to ask if that was possible without first going to court where I would explain my case, stating that there is no proof on the city 's end that there were temporary signs up. The operators at LGB & S didn't seem to understand what wage garnishment was. I asked if I could speak to a supervisor or actual lawyer at the firm and they told me no. This letter is incredibly misleading and very scary. What is motivating me to file this complaint is that their client is the city of XXXX, which continues to harass and bully people ( especially people with less money, in which a single ticket like this is a great burden ) after their administrative hearings which themselves are incredibly unjust.

We are a corporation located in the XXXX XXXX of Virginia. Our corporation is XXXX, XXXX.
We received a collection notice from the law firm of Linebarger , Goggan , Blair & Sampson, LLP. The collection stems from a red light camera ticket, which we never received notification of, that allegedly occurred over ( 2 ) years ago in XX/XX/2016.
Upon initial contact with the stated law firm, we were advised that no proof or copy of the ticket could be provided to us and that WE COULD NOT contact the clerk of the court in the county in which the ticket was issued, and even if we did, the clerk would not speak with us. We were further advised that no other options were available and we had to deal solely and directly with the stated law firm. When we requested the citation or case number, we were given an incorrect case number.
Upon secondary contact with the stated law firm, a supervisor name " XXXX XXXX '', advised us that the clerk of court of the county in which the ticket was issued had instructed the stated law firm not to negotiate or settle any tickets for less than the demanded amount.
After contacting the clerk 's Office of XXXX County Court, we were advised that the information that the stated law firm had given us was false. The clerk stated that we could talk to them about the traffic citation at any time. The clerk further stated that they had not in fact prohibited the stated law firm from negotiating the fees they themselves had added to the citation for cost of collection. The clerk continued to advise us that we in fact had recourse with the court and could ask for the ticket amount to be reduced. Even more, the clerk stated that we could pay the clerks office directly and did not have to deal with the stated law firm as instructed.
We assert that the above interaction with a debt collector is a blatant violation of the fair debt collection act to the extent that the stated law firm continually lied and provided disinformation to us regarding the alleged debt solely as a tactical means employed to increase the odds of collecting the alleged debt.

I was traveling from XXXX XXXX to route to XXXX XXXX and accidentally went through an XXXX XXXX toll instead of a cash toll, so I was charged {$50.00} as a fee for breaking XXXX XXXX law, and not paying the toll as I went through. I was sent a letter from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson stating that I owe this {$50.00}. The toll technically came from the XXXX XXXX, XXXX however, they use this company as their debt collector. Upon looking them up on the XXXX XXXX XXXX there are multiple complaints of fraudulent activities from them, including one person who was continuously charged from a toll they had in XXXX, he would pay it, and they said that their balance was a XXXX, but they continuously charged him, because they only take a certain amounts of the money to pay off the debt, and the other money they pocket for themselves. This is not made explicit whatsoever in any of the letters that they sent it is completely misleading to the public as well as rather predatory. Im concerned that most people receiving these letters would pay through them Goggan Blaire and Sampson rather than XXXX XXXX XXXX directly resulting in scamming them out of their money for years to come. Had I not look this up and called the source of the toll, I probably wouldve fallen victim to the countless people that have had issues with this company. They are not operating a fair business practice, they were purposefully elusive, the only way to file dusputes is through Fax, they do not have an email, they do not have a place for complaints other than through Fax. Although it is not against any law to only have fax as contact, I highly suspect that they do this in order to purposely inconvenience people and not having to directly talk to them to complain about their fraudulent behaviors. The lack of explicit statement on the letter, missing forms, the public into thinking that they should use this company to pay their toll, when, in fact, they are unknowingly paying the company, and only a certain percentage of their toll. This is quite despicable, and should be looked into.

In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a " Notice Of Intent To Intercept Filing '' from a company, Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson , LLP ( LGB & S ) claiming that I owed {$300.00} to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for a traffic citation. I have been a recent victim of Identity Theft and believed this letter to be fraudulent.
In XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered that I had Unclaimed Property with the State of California in the amount of {$330.00}. I filed a claim for the money and received a XX/XX/XXXX notice from the California XXXX XXXX XXXX that {$300.00} of the {$330.00} would be intercepted and sent to LGB & S.
I discovered through an online investigation of LGB & S, that the company was fined {$3.00} Million for a Class Action suit for fraudulent and unfair business practices in their debt collections and had received hundreds of negative XXXX XXXX XXXX complaints and company reviews.
On XX/XX/XXXX, at XXXX, I contacted LGB & S and spoke with XXXX XXXX XXXX I told her that I did not owe money for a citation and would provide proof by email. XXXX XXXX informed me that LGB & S would be responsible for refunding the money if I could prove the debt had been paid.
Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I used the Case Number from the LGB & S letter to search for proof of payment on the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX website ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and discovered that the citation had been dismissed by the court.
I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX by phone at ( XXXX ) XXXX and provided the citation number # XXXX. The Clerk informed me that the citation, which was FOR {$XXXX} ONLY, had been paid, resolved, and dismissed ten years ago in XXXX.
I sent an email with proof of the citation dismissal and notified the California XXXX XXXX XXXX about the fraud. I also plan to file complaints about the fraudulent activities of this company to other agencies such as the XXXX XXXX XXXX and news media sources to alert the public about Linebarger Goggin Blair and Sampson, LLP as I have proof that they continue to use unscrupulous and illegal means to prey on individuals with unfair and fraudulent business practices.

On XX/XX/2022, I called the call center for the Law firm of Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP regarding alleged outstanding debt. The law firm represents the XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding collections.
I first received a letter from this law firm sometime late XX/XX/2022. The letter was dated XX/XX/2022. I verbally requested a debt validation and proof of the dates I received the toll violations when I first called the law firm on XX/XX/2022 and was informed I need to do this in writing. I had already done this to XXXX XXXXXXXX on XX/XX/2022. I then faxed a validation letter to the collections law firm on XX/XX/2022. As far as I can tell even though I sent the validation letter to XXXX XXXX since the law office is representing them in the collections process they should have received that letter from XXXX XXXX and even if they didn't receive it from XXXX XXXX, I faxed a validation letter directly to the law office. Because of this they are in violation of the FCRA.
Instead of receiving any validation of the debt, I received another collection letter on XX/XX/2022. That letter was dated XX/XX/2022.
I should not be receiving any collection letter until the debt is validated. They are a law office, they should know this! It seems the letters are generated automatically as XXXX was going to remove my address so I would not receive any additional letters.
Also on the letter it states " You have failed to respond to our correspondence and we are assuming this amount is valid ''. This even states on the first letter which would be impossible since it was the first letter to me from the law office. And definitely not true on the second since I called them shortly after I received it and then sent a validation letter. This seems like a unethical, if not illegal, tactic to get the debt paid without me questioning it. I believe another violation of the FCRA.
No where on the collection letters does it state " This is an attempt to collect ... '' I believe another violation of the FCRA.

I have worked relentless to get this continued attack on me from XXXX XXXX resolved. I feel like this attorney firm should have reported this account. I had to file a complaint with this agency just to get the break down of this fraudulent account. Once I did there was about XXXX in mistakes if not more. In an attempt to force me into a payment plan XXXX XXXX pulled three old moving violations tickets to suspend my driver license. One of the tickets was from XXXX I believe. I was on a payment plan for several tickets which included the three they used to suspend my driver privilege in Iowa. My payments was XXXX dollars a month the file clearly shows that I was givin two extension for making regular on time payments. Yet now some how all the tickets was paid except these three. One which is XXXX dollars more then what it should be. This attorney firm after multibal corrections sent the file back I was told. I was pulled over on my way to a doctor 's appointment placed under arrest then let go at the hospital. I had to seek medical attention for my XXXX and for cuffs that was placed on so tight the doctor stated it compressed my XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have been pulled over once here and I'm in the process of being railroaded yet again by this legal system here in XXXX XXXX. I have tried several times to reach this firm for help. It's my understanding they never requested for my license to be suspended and informed XXXX XXXX that I was working with them in an attempt to figure the balance of what if anything I owed. Yet XXXX moved ahead a wrongfully suspended my Iowa driver privilege after North Dakota refused their request. I dont get how this firm was eager to to collect their percentage at my expense but refuse to help me with this. I want to know why wasn't this account reported and why this firm is refusing to clarify if they indeed told XXXX XXXX I was working to get this balance correct. Where is the support for the wrongfully accused?

The company sent me a letter telling me they would pass a judgement on me if I did not respond to the letter within 7 days.
However, the letter was dated XX/XX/XXXX, but it was n't postmarked until XX/XX/XXXX. I did not receive until XX/XX/XXXX ( I was not around to check my mail on Sunday.
They have only cashed one of the checks I have sent them, and they tell me they are not received ( The first three were sent to the firm 's principal office in XXXX, but they should have made it to the correct place eventually XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ). The last check I sent them was for {$150.00}. It was mailed XXXX XXXX from XXXX, XXXX, where I was traveling at the time. The check number was # XXXX. It was mailed to LGBS, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX. I wish I could send checks certified, but it is prohibitive for me to get to the post office during working hours.
I was not made aware of this debt until the debt collector contacted me, then they called me on my work phone twice after I asked them to just call me on my cell phone.
Photos of the letter and the postmark are attached. The rerouting sticker covers up the original postmark, but it is generally the same day or one day later. However I have shared my new address with them so there was no reason for the letter to be rerouted in the first place. I believe this was just another delaying tactic.
I have also attached screenshots of my bank website showing that I have made another payment today, and another one is scheduled in XXXX weeks. When they either call or write to say the payment is n't received, I will submit a new complaint with either a recording of the phone call or the letter and also take it the both the XXXX and XXXX Attorney Generals office. I regret that I did n't collect the evidence sooner.

I disputed a debt the debt collect witch represent themselves as law firm is in the business of collecting debts. I disputed the validity of the debt and requested specific information to validate the debt. I provided proof of why I disputed the debt and questioned the financial charge they were attempting to collect and asked the collector to validate the debt. I sent my request in writing and return receipt. Proof of that mailing I also requested the collector after XXXX XXXX, 2015 only communicate with my attorney. Provided contact information in that letter of my attorney. As of the filing of this complaint I have receive to demands for payment directly. The letters are carefully crafted to give impression that legal action will be taken but the debt has not been personally review by an attorney. The letterhead represents themselves as attorneys.
These demands for payment states that I also failed to respond to request for information this is also a false statement.
I have include copies of both mailing from the collector and my responses to the original claim of the debt. I had to mail them twice be there was refusal to accept my original and it was returned to me.
I have included scanned copies of the returned mailing both of my letters. This firm has violated the act by communicating directly with after I specifically request them to address there responses to my attorney.
If you will provide me with an email address or other process to send you copies of following:1 USPS returned receipts2. Copies of USPS receipts that have deliverary tracking numbers3. additional copies of letters sent to collector4. Copies of letters received from collector after my letters requesting they only contact my attorney5. Copies of my letter to my attorney that I requested them to be contacted.

Earlier this month, I received a letter from Linebarger Gotham Blair and Sampson LLP saying that I owed {$91.00} for a single unpaid toll. The original toll amount was {$4.00} and was supposedly for a violation that took place in the state of Delaware on XX/XX/2022.
The Linebarger firm has a history of fraudulently attempting to collect nonexistent debts in violation of various state laws, as alleged in multiple class action lawsuits and complaints submitted to the XXXX. I believe the letter sent to me was part of this pattern of deceptive business practices and that I am being billed for a sum I do not owe.
I have paid every toll notice I have received from the state of Delaware.Crucially, responding to such notices is the only method for non-residents like myself to pay tolls amassed in Delaware since toll booths in the state are generally unmanned and both the portals for paying tolls, Delaware XXXX and DelDOT.gov, require a notice number to process payment.
The letter from the Linebarger firm includes a notice number for the supposedly unpaid toll. However, when I attempted to look up the violation on the above websites, I received a message saying the notice number was not valid. Why would a firm attempting to collect a legitimate debt do so using bogus account information?
I would attempt to contact the Linebarger firm directly, but it has a documented history of fraudulent behavior. And neither the letter the firm sent me nor the company 's website include a physical or email address where I can send written correspondence. Only a phone number is provided. Without a written record of our exchange, I have no way of proving what was said or wasn't said. That puts the consumer at an incredible disadvantage.

I received a notification from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP that I had owed {$90.00} for an unpaid toll in Delaware in XXXX. This is the first notice I've received regarding an unpaid toll and I had tried to respond right away last week a few days after I had received this notice.
After a complaint through the XXXX XXXX XXXX, they had speculated that I had either run a toll or had insufficient balance as an XXXX XXXX customer, which made no sense since the day of the alleged toll violation, I had paid every single XXXX XXXX toll from NJ to Florida and back and had no reason whatsover to skip a toll. My XXXX XXXX is attached to my winshield and I commute daily to work using the XXXX XXXX XXXX with XXXX toll violations or account lapses ( I have it set to auto replenish funds ). I also would have certainly opted to just pay the {$4.00} had I received any actual notification, which they failed to prove they had sent to my address. They also failed to send any photo proof of my vehicle driving through that toll booth. When I tried to communicate and ask for proof of the violation & /or attempt to pay the {$4.00}, they made it extremely difficult to even get in contact with this collection agency. They had asked for a written letter to be mailed out or a fax and did not accept email. It's XXXX and they are still using paper mail and fax machines, which is insane in itself.
Again, I'm looking for some type of resolution or reasonability here. Forcing people with good credit, long time XXXX XXXX users, and clean driving records to pay {$90.00} for a {$4.00} toll is nothing short of extortion. Expecially when they can provide little or no proof of the violation & /or any postmarked communication to my residence.

I am writing to file a formal complaint against Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, a debt collection law firm. Despite my written request, sent via certified mail on XXXX XXXX, the aforementioned law firm failed to validate an alleged debt in accordance with 15 USC 1692. Furthermore, they neglected to respond under penalty of perjury via an affidavit as demmended, nor did they send me a true bill per ( 12 USC 1431 ). Additionally, Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson knowingly and willingly disregarded all the demands outlined in my written correspondence.
I have provided a detailed account of the events leading to this complaint : On XXXX XXXX, I sent a certified mail letter to Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, requesting that they validate the alleged debt in accordance with 15 USC 1692. This request included specific information about the debt, such as how they aquired it, the license to collect, and any supporting documentation.
In the same letter, I demanded that Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson respond under penalty of perjury via an affidavit executed and sent to a notary public.
Despite being provided with a reasonable period of time to respond, Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson failed to provide any true contractual validation of the alleged debt or submit the requested affidavit. They ignored all the demands outlined in my correspondence including {$1000.00} payment in the abscence of a true bill.
Given the law firm 's flagrant disregard for the requirements of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), as well as their failure to adhere to the specific requests made in my written communication, I believe their actions constitute a violation of consumer rights and I am due remedy.

While living in XXXX, VA I had to pass the XXXX XXXX XXXX, one time. After passing this bridge, I went onto their website for the XXXX XXXX XXXX and paid the toll for the bridge. Shortly after, to verify this I called the XXXX XXXX XXXX phone line to ensure the debt had been paid and posted, they did verify this.
It is now over a year later and I am getting a harassing letter from an unknown debt collector Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP. I researched this organization only to find terrible reviews of scam artists ripping off dozens of customers. I paid the stupid debt to get them to hopefully leave me alone. I paid {$150.00} for a bridge I crossed OVER A YEAR AGO, without ANY notification or ANY indication that I owed money, FOR A YEAR.
I know for a fact it does not cost {$150.00} to cross a bridge one time, they waited for this fine to increase by using fee 's for time not paid to increase the value I owed without notifying me of the debt FOR A YEAR and I'm not surprised in the slightest from the reviews. I am not the only person who has encountered this. They are scam artists and should audited, if not for me for all the other American 's who have wrongly been squeezed money out of by these " Attorneys at Law ''. It's despicable especially in light of recent events in the world. If my story isn't enough to convince you then maybe read some of these.
Some of the stories from this company are far worse than mine ...
https : XXXX I am not alone with dealing with this shady organization.. please do something about this or they will continue to do this to other Americans. I don't care to get my money back I would only hope nobody else has to deal with this cancerous company.

I have received a letter from " Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP Attorneys at Law '' repeatedly over the past year. It claims that I have the amount of {$87.00} due to " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' with a 6 year old license plate from Florida.
It claims " Our law firm previously sent to you a letter regarding your debt with XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) for unpaid tolls and related fees in the amount of {$12.00}. You have failed to respond to our correspondence and we are assuming that this debt is valid.
According to the XXXX, you have an additional outstanding debt in the amount of {$75.00} for unpaid tolls and related fees. Unless, within thirty days after your receipt of this notice, you dispute the validity of the debt or any portion thereof, we will assume the debt to be valid. If, within thirty days after your receipt of this notice, you notify us, in writing, that the debt or any portion thereof is disputed, we will obtain verification of the debt or a copy of a judgement, if any, and mail it to you. If the original creditor is different from the creditor named above, then upon your written request within thirty days after your receipt of this notice, we will provide you with the name and address of the original creditor.
Payment can be made by credit card by logging on to XXXX ... ... '' This company is a scam. I contacted the REAL XXXX XXXX XXXX at their REAL website and they have NO record of me owing money on a missed toll. I have the XXXX in my vehicle and have never not paid a toll.
The amount of mail that I receive from this SCAM is insane. I get a letter once a week. If you look up the " Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson scam '' you will get all the information you need!

I received a letter from this collector - LINEBARGER GOGGAN BLAIR & SAMPSON LLP. Another similar collector I saw here in CFPB - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Attorneys they say. So, I received a letter, telling me that I owed XXXX dollars. I may be sued. It does n't say why, where, when, or how. It says, pay or lawsuit, ridiculous. I try calling but automatically I am placed on hold for more than 30 minutes. Actually, I first waited 37 minutes. Then I waited 33 minutes. Also, the title on page says that I am receiving the letter from XXXX, CO. But it says to pay at LINEBARGER GOGGAN BLAIR & SAMPSON LLP in XXXX XXXX, TX.
This is a collection I am sure. It is ridiculous and absurd. I HAVE MEDICAL INSURANCE, XXXX XXXX. I never received any bills for this. It was converted to collection apparently. Since I have insurance, XXXX XXXX, they 'll usually cover any fees. Apparently, a collection company is attempting to collect false billing charges, otherwise, I would have received a statement, and I would have reported that to my insurance, XXXX XXXX. More, in the letter I received, I noticed that it only has a title on top of page, Attorneys, address from where it came, and a phone to call where no one bothers to answers but it says, leave a message. Of course, the call did n't work remember. Besides that, nothing else other than, lawyers may sue unless you pay. It is a lousy tactic of course. I have insurance with XXXX XXXX, so this should never have occurred. Happy to meet you in court if you refuse to remove this bill or you refuse to contact whoever tried to make the false claim. My insurance will always pay for any medical bills, why else do I have XXXX XXXX.

I received a letter from the firm XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX ) with reference number XXXX stating that I owed {$32.00} in unpaid tolls and fees to the Pennsylvania XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ), which was apparently incurred with vehicle license plate XXXX XXXX. This debt was not incurred by me. I DO NOT own a vehicle and have never rented a vehicle, I DO NOT have a driver 's license, and I have never been to the State of XXXX.
I called this firm at the provided phone number XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX ( ET ) on XXXX XX/XX/2023. I initially spoke to a representative who was unable to provide any useful information. I was subsequently transferred to a supervisor. After doing a check on the account, the supervisor said that the debt was incurred by someone with the same first and last name as me but with middle name XXXX and whose previous registered address was in XXXX XXXX, XXXX. My middle name is not XXXX and I have never lived in XXXX XXXX, NY. The supervisor acknowledged that I was not the person who incurred the debt. The supervisor said that the firm attempted to collect debts by matching only First Names and Last Names. She said that she would remove my address from the file in their system as I was not the person they were looking for. I requested a letter from the firm confirming in writing that I did not owe this debt and that the matter was resolved. The supervisor said that she could not do so, as the debt remained outstanding, but that she could only remove my address from the file. This is an unsatisfactory resolution as I do not have any record in writing that the matter has been resolved.

I received a potentially fraudulent letter in the mail from this law firm. Apparently HUNDREDS of other people have as well, and they have hundreds of complaints listed on the XXXX website from people complaining about the same fraudulent tactics. How does this firm still have an XXXX XXXX XXXX rating with the XXXX? Ridiculous. Here 's the email I just sent to them, which includes the details : " I received a " WARNING : YOUR LICENSE MAY BE SUSPENDED '' letter in the mail from your firm, claiming that I owe {$380.00} to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX of 2019. First of all, I was nowhere near XXXX the entire month of XX/XX/2019. I keep immaculate records in my calendar. Second, I did a search for the citation number you gave me on the XXXX XXXX XXXX Your citation number isn't even in the proper format. I also did a search for open citations based on my name ; none could be found. Therefore, I immediately demand you provide me with proof of this supposed citation, including the make/model and license plate number of the vehicle, the exact date and time of the infraction, and any other supporting information you have available.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson , LLP, stating that I owe a staggering {$96.00} for a seemingly trivial {$9.00} toll balance from DelDOT. The first issue that came to light was the fact that XXXX failed to mail the invoice on time, thereby depriving me of the opportunity to dispute the toll within the allotted time frame.
Given the circumstances, I promptly attempted to raise my concerns with Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson , LLP, only to discover that they do not provide any option to dispute the toll. Feeling helpless, I decided to verify the violation myself through the Delaware XXXX Pass webpage, using the Toll Violation ID number provided, but to my dismay, it did not yield any valid violation. The letter states that the trip date was XX/XX/XXXX.
What adds to the complexity of this situation is that the toll violation is connected to a trailer license plate that my company leases to a trucking company. While it is the responsibility of our customer to bear the invoice at the time of the toll violation, I am currently unable to address this matter effectively due to the lack of cooperation from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson , LLP and XXXX 's directive to deal with them directly.
Therefore, I kindly request that you investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate actions to rectify the situation. I urge Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP to reconsider their stance and provide a means for consumers like me to dispute toll violations promptly. Additionally, I request your assistance in liaising with DelDOT to address their shortcomings in issuing invoices on time.

Received a letter thru regular post office mail dated XXXX/XXXX/16 addressed to the wrong name and about a license plate I 've never owned ; letter states " If this matter is not resolved immediately you will be commanded to appear at an administrative hearing where a determination may be made that you owe substantial additional fees and fines, registration of your vehicle being refused, and the use of your vehicle being prevented until the amounts due are paid. '' Letter states the matter has been referred to this firm ( Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson , LLP ; XXXX TX ) by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which is continuing to record XXXX XXXX XXXX violations by a vehicle with this tag & state records say I am the vehicle owner. They do not explain how they arrived at the large amounts due for the tolls listed.
I 've never received any toll notice from XXXX. I have driven through there infrequently and have gone online and paid minimal tolls that I have incurred, AFTER the dates of these tolls. There is an error in my name on the letter. This is not and has never been a license plate I own. The tolls are from 9 & 10 YEARS ago.
Contacting the company resulted in the response that the file would be reviewed and a letter sent.
I am concerned about getting a future notice to appear in court ( where I do n't live ) and improper research to determine this is not mine. Proper research would have quickly ruled out that it does n't belong here. Others online state that this company has been ruthless harassing other people, and that one tactic is to demand a court appearance and to receive a favorable decision when people do n't show up.

I received a debt collection letter in the mail written on XX/XX/XXXX by Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP. This letter claimed that I owed {$42.00} for a parking ticket dated on XX/XX/XXXX. I never received a parking ticket on XX/XX/XXXX so I wrote back a dispute letter on XX/XX/XXXX stating that I never received a parking ticket on that date and that I wanted proper validation from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP proving that the debt was truly mine ( USPS Certified Mail Return Receipt proves that Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP received my dispute letter on XX/XX/XXXX ). I did not receive a response letter from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP until XX/XX/XXXX stating that XXXX XXXX XXXX Parking Violation Collection was the original creditor. They also sent me two pictures, one of a license plate number and one that was blurry and indistinguishable. They claim that this is a picture of my license plate and of my dash without a parking receipt. The license plate picture they sent me does not match the number of the documentation they sent me. The license plate does not belong to me nor has it ever belonged to me. Upon further investigation I found that the license plate photo they sent me belongs to XXXX XXXX XXXX with vin # XXXX. I have never owned this vehicle nor have I ever driven this vehicle thus it is impossible for this alleged ticket to belong to me. I sent back a letter on XX/XX/XXXX demanding that Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP cease and desist all collection activities and that if they fail to do so I will sue them for breaking the Fair Credit Reporting Act Laws.

In XX/XX/XXXX, my wife parked her car in a parking lot and for whatever reason, ( I think she forgot to have her parking tag displayed ), she received a parking ticket. In XX/XX/XXXX, she paid the fee.
The car is registered in her name with the State of Colorado and always has been, back to XX/XX/XXXX.
Now, in XX/XX/XXXX, firm " Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP '' ( 'the firm ' ) have started mailing me, husband, for collection of the fees that were already paid by wife.
1. Based on the fact that we already paid the fees, we don't intend to pay them again.
2. Based on the sketchy fact that 'the firm ' has contact me, husband, instead of the owner of the car, wife, indicates to me that this is a questionable collection process as well as a questionable fee.
3. Reputation wise, a search of 'the firm ' online reveals that they're collection processes are questionable, un-ethical, and not based on accurate un-paid fees.
4. Do I really believe that the parking lot wouldn't have contacted us in XX/XX/XXXX, or XX/XX/XXXX, or XX/XX/XXXX???? No. This seems like a law firm got ahold of old data and they're looking for suckers who will be intimidated and send money to this company.
5. Given how sketchy this collection firm is, there's no reason why I'd ever let them near my bank account information via me sending them a check, or me paying via a credit card at their website. They're an identity theft waiting to happen.
6. The paperwork sent to me has no mention of the CFPB as a notification of customer rights or recourse for action. If they want to avoid the CFPB, they're probably not reputable.

On XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX 2015, I received a demand letter from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson , LLP in XXXX, IL stipulating that they represent the State of Illinois -Department of Revenue in a collection of tax obligation. My complaint is I have never received any correspondence from the Department of Revenue regarding any delinquent taxes for the years indicated in the demand letter sent by this law firm/collection agency. Moreover, I have paid my state income taxes for the years identified in their correspondence. This demand letter seems to be a fraudulent claim of debt or deceptive action to scare me into payment of a tax claim that I do not owe. The language in the demand letter utilizes legal verbaige to bully and coerce a person into paying monies they do not owe. This practice seems deceptive and an unfair way of doing business. As a senior citizen, I find theses correspondance abusive and alarming.
On XXXX XXXX, 2015, I sent a letter to Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson , LLP requesting as per the Fair Debt Collection Pracice Act, they forward all documentation to me to validate this claim. Instead of adhereing to the federal law, they sent me the XXXX XXXX letter demanding payment of {$30000.00} or else. They have not sent me any documentation to validate this claim. This action seems to be in direct conflict with the law or autocratic demeanor that they are above the law.
If this firm is pursuing me like this, one can only assume they are doing this to many people in Illinois and/or throughout the country.
Your immediate attention and action to this concern is requested.

I called regarding a bill sent to me from a lawyers office. I gave my information when asked. I let the man who answered the phone know that I had already paid the bill and did not know why it was in collections. He told me to send proof and told me to have a good day.i said for him to wait and not hang up on me. He did any way. His name was XXXX. I called back to have XXXX answer the phone. I asked why he hung up on me when I was not finished talking to him. He told me the conversation was over. I told him that on his end but I asked him not to hang up on me. He asked what else he could do for me. I stated that I needed to know what they excepted for proof of payment. He stated he did n't know. I asked how he could not know if he wants me to prove it was paid? He continued to tell me he did n't know. He told me what ever I wanted to use. I asked to speak to his supervisor and agreed that the conversation was over with him. He told me the outcome was not going to be any different. I again informed him that our conversation was over and please give me his supervisor. He put me on hold and his supervisor came on the line. I did not catch his name. I asked the supervisor if he could tell me what forms of proof they excepted since XXXX as not trained right and could not tell me. The supervisor told me he too, did not know and it was up to me. I told him if they had no protocol and it was up to me, then how about a verbal statement. I then verbally told him I paid the bill and asked him if that was ok? The supervisor stated he was hanging up on me and did.

Around XX/XX/2018 we received a letter from Linebarger regarding a delinquent toll in the state of Colorado. We live in Oklahoma.
The letter makes several false and deceptive claims.
1. By not paying they will put a hold on your vehicle registration.
This claim is false and only applies to Colorado citizens. Additionally, per toll authority, this action only applies if you are delinquent and continue toll avoidance.
2. The firm altered the document to state fees of {$2500.00} for not paying. The actual fee is {$25.00} per toll authority.
This is another scare tactic that is uncalled for, unnecessary, deceptive, false, and abusive.
3. The firm had our license plate number from a sold vehicle with someone elses mailing address and name attached to the bill.
When calling to find out information on the toll bill the firm refused to speak to anyone but the person on the toll bill who was using our vehicle tag registered in Georgia.
So the company was attempting to collect a debt from us by billing a random person in Georgia with a different name racking up fees for their company.
Unjust enrichment.
The firm had no interest of clearing up the matter. In fact, the employee said the only thing he could do was take full payment.
However, he was required to state we could dispute the debt by mail.
Even though I made it clear the name or address werent ours he continued to collect a debt illegally.
4. I called the toll authority and they instantly cleared up the issue. Why this law firm chose to do business this way is worth investigating.

Received letter that a toll debt was due from the Florida Turnpike. I paid the debt 3 years ago. Rather than listen to reason, the rep would only discuss that she can't see the original debt systems and she only knows what was referred to her. She even indicated that even if the original debt was settled I'd have to pay her additional collections fees. Lastly, she indicated I'd lose my car registration if I didn't pay.
We're talking about a {$13.00} bill, which I obviously could just pay - but I'm very frustrated by the lack of accountability and the way the debt holder has distanced himself from the debt collector and just made it too administratively difficult to dispute - hence the customer will choose to double pay rather than jump through the hoops. I have a " receipt '' for the paid toll but it's just a line item in a 3 year old credit card bill, and they've since tacked on some fees so the amounts don't match, and they can't produce the original bill to show that the amounts would match. Due to the age of the debt, it's not something easily produced as a canceled check or something.
The representative was reasonably rude about the whole thing and was making sarcastic comments when I offered to pay her something short of the balance just to make it go away. I mentioned to her several times that I thought she was being rude, and she informed me that I wasn't her customer, and this wasn't a customer service call ; and if I paid my bills, I wouldn't have to deal with people like her - or something substantially similar to that.

Good Day, I am filing this complaint in concern with this law firm tactics to defraud consumers. In XXXX i received a ticket from XXXX due to red light camera ticket. The camera was on the light poll by the signal lights, so even when your car is turning on yellow which is yielding and we stuck in the middle and the light turn red. the camera still ticketed us. The city of XXXX had a class action lawsuit and sent us a check. I agreed to the class action lawsuit by cashing the check. To get involved the class action lawsuit lawyer sent us an agreement of all the red light camera tickets that were faulty and i signed it and turned it back in. In XXXX i received the settlement check and cashed it. My concern is this law firm represent the same red light tickets from XXXX contacting me to pay the tickets that i had got the class action check for, and on top of it after 7 years the debt is supposed to drop from my credit without any further communication about the matter.
My question is how many people is this law firm trying to get money from us on fake tickets from XXXX faulty red light cameras from back in XXXX that were paid by XXXX from a settlement? Since then XXXX do not even us red light cameras any more. The lights are placed 15 feet behind the signal light poll to fix the matter. This is fraud. I can not pay you sir if i accepted the class action check and cashed it by agreeing these tickets were faulty. It's illegal to even talk to you after i agreed to a settlement. Stop harassing us.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP, stating that my Driver 's License " may be suspended '' and that I owed {$380.00} for XXXX to XXXX County Clerk of Courts. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called the number and spoke to a XXXX that stated they had been hired by XXXX Clerk of Courts.
I explained to XXXX that I had already gone to court for the issue and the case was dismissed since I showed proof that I was not in possession of the vehicle running tolls.
I have been in contact with the XXXX Clerk of Courts, Traffic Division, in addition to the Toll Authorities regarding these issues several times. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called and emailed the Toll Authorities in addition to requesting yet another court date for the same issue, same vehicle, different ticket and never heard anything regarding another court date.
On XX/XX/XXXX, I recalled the Toll Authorities again and it was verified that I did request another court date. I was also informed there was a 3rd toll ticket pending for the same vehicle, different date.
Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I sent numerous communications to XXXX Clerk of Court, asking for the Name and Contact Information for the Hearing Officer since they advised me on XX/XX/XXXX, that they never received another court hearing request and I would need to contact the hearing officer.
What they did not receive was another {$20.00} to keep my license unsuspended until a second court date was scheduled.

I received a collection letter from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP over two unpaid tolls amounting to {$10.00}. The collection notice also added {$50.00} in fees. The tolls were incurred over a year ago. I made multiple efforts to pay the tolls around the time that they were incurred, however I was told multiple times that there was no record of the money owed so I could not pay. I sent a letter via both postal mail and fax explaining my previous efforts to pay, and I enclosed the full amount demanded in order to evidence my good faith effort to pay the debt. By not allowing me to pay the debt, and then subsequently sending a demand letter which includes fees and other charges, this firm is engaging in an unfair and deceptive trade practice. After I sent the letter to the firm, they made no effort to investigate this matter or contact me to resolve this in any way. The letter is dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX and the checks were cashed on XXXX XXXX, XXXX.
Additionally, this firm is violating the FDCPA by sending letters that would confuse the least sophisticated consumer. The letter clearly states that no lawyer has reviewed the account or made a determination as to the legal status. However, the letter also cites the statute which provides for payment of tolls, and then straightforwardly concludes that I owe this money as a result. It is plainly misleading to state that no attorney has made a determination yet state a legal conclusion.

To be clear : The funds were delivered in full ( {$4.00} XXXX to XXXX XXXX 's billing address of XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, CO XXXX on XX/XX/2018 - a full business day before the bill 's printed due-date. My bank can provide additional proof of this via a payment verification inquiry, if needed.
On XX/XX/2018, I drafted and sent via Certified US Mail, two Debt Verification letters : one each to both listed mailing addresses for the offices of Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP. The letters were delivered XX/XX/2018 and XX/XX/2018, respectively.
Despite the above, today, XX/XX/2018, I am in receipt of yet another bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP is sending me " demands for payment for delinquent civil violation ( s ) '' on behalf of Delaware Department of Transportation. The problem is that the debt was included in my XXXX XXXX bankruptcy [ XXXX XXXX. XXXX, XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ]. In fact, during my bankruptcy, the business continued to contact me demanding payment - to the extent that my attorney 's office had to reprimand the business for their illegal debt collection attempts while I was in active bankruptcy. At that point, the payment demands stopped for about a year until I just received one dated XX/XX/XXXX, again demanding payment for the discharged debt that I do not owe.
During my bankruptcy, I notified the business several times in writing and over the phone that the debt was included in my XXXX XXXX case. I was told verbally by a representative that she notated my account with the bankruptcy information and I would not receive any more notices. I feel I'm forced to notify all relevant regulatory agencies at this point because the business is blatantly ignoring the discharge of this debt and at this point I feel their continued contacts are a source of harassment. Despite my best efforts they ignore my communication and provide no useful information. I must add that the business did not attend the meeting of the creditors, and never disputed the discharge of the debt.

Hello CFPB Staff, I recently received a notice from a debt collection agency claiming to be collecting on an unpaid toll fee for the XXXX XXXX XXXX company. The notice cited that I owed the company - Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson LLC - {$80.00}. The notice references the license plate, XXXX, for a car I previously owned ( sold in XX/XX/2019 ).
I never took an XXXX XXXX XXXX toll in the car referenced and never received any toll notices from the XXXX XXXX XXXX company for that car. I was unable to find any record on the company 's website. I reached out to them and have yet to receive a reply.
I am concerned that this debt collection attempt is fraudulent because : ( 1 ) I never took an XXXX XXXX XXXX toll with the vehicle referenced, license plate # XXXX, MN.
( 2 ) I never received any notices from the XXXX XXXX XXXX company about any toll violations for that vehicle.
( 3 ) There's no record of the toll violation on the XXXX XXXX XXXX company 's website.
( 4 ) A cursory internet search of the debt collection agency gives me reason to suspect that the debt notice is possibly illegitimate.
Pertinent Information : Account # : XXXX.
Clint Code : XXXX.
Online Payment Number : XXXX.
License : XXXX, MN.
Date of Notice Letter : XX/XX/2019.
Debt Collection Agency : Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP.
XXXX XXXX XXXX.
XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX.
XXXX.
Thank you.

I received a response to my last complaint that I put in on XX/XX/XXXX. And the response is false information as I reached out the Company today XX/XX/XXXX, and there is a balance with them for {$180.00} still in collections. The response stated that there is nor further amount due. I have also spoken to XXXX on numerous occasions prior to contacting Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP to see if my dispute has been sent to them and on all occasions, which were XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, they have told me they have not received any disputes from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson , LLP, on my behalf. When I tried to settle the debt with them due to the toll notification being sent to my previous address, they explained they could not assist me due to the matter being sent to collections. They have also mentioned that numerous people have the same issue with this very same company. There are a lot of different factors involved in changing duty stations and failing to update my address registered with the DMV is an assumption of inaccurate information. I was in the process of registering my vehicle when the tolls were incurred because I had since then also changed my license plates. I do not appreciate the manner in which this company is handling my disputes especially since I am an XXXX XXXX Service member serving my country.

I financed a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for my son in XX/XX/2018. He purchased a TX Tag which is a prepaid toll tag to allow you to drive on any and all toll roads in the entire state of Texas provided by the Texas Department of Transportation. Upon receipt of the tag, it had been registered to the temporary license plate from the dealership for the vehicle and my son states that he contacted Tx Tag to update to plate but it was never done, however Tx Tag disputes this and says they have no record. Either way, the tag was still mounted on the windshield of the physical car and able to be scanned as driving through the toll plazas. Over the course of a few months, XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) accumulated an immense amount of toll violations stating that their system determined that the TxTag was not registered to the vehicle it was mounted on, although the Year, Make and Model all matched, simply not the new permanent license plate. We never received the first invoices from XXXX before going to collections to pay for these before they added the administrative fees and collections fees with Linebarger, Goggan, Blair and Sampson. Now they are saying that if we don't pay over $ XXXX they will place a hold on my ability to register any vehicle in TX and I won't be able to renew my driver 's license when in reality it was an error on Tx Tag 's part.

Today, XX/XX/2022, my father handed me a letter from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson , LLP, attorneys at law, dated for XX/XX/2022. This letter falsely states a previous notice for a fake debt. This debt is in regards to a tollbooth I think, despite the fact that the state of Georgia ( where I and my father live ) has no tollbooths, except maybe in XXXX. Linebarger claims that there is a debt on our car for the " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' and " XXXX XXXX XXXX Colorado XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I don't mean this to be rude, but why on earth would anybody drive all the way to Colorado? I, the driver of the vehicle in question, have never been west of XXXX and have never driven farther than XXXX, GA. I thought that the " XXXX '' was a highway in Colorado, but XXXX said that it's something like a toll booth near or in XXXX. I'm not sure since I've never seen it or know what XXXX would look like, since I would never drive there, given that it's over XXXX miles away from me. I thought that this was a simple scam, but I discovered that Linebarger is actually a real debt collector. I tried calling them, and the system put me in a queue but reset my place and made me enter the reference number every XXXX seconds, so I am unable to ever possibly reach a real person. This is ridiculous, and I believe that either Colorado or Linebarger has made an error.

I have a {$9.00} toll charge with the XXXX. They have a contract with Linebarger Goggan Blair to collect debts. I live in the XXXX area, and my bank card on file had expired so when the money in my account was used, it kicked back the charge. I received an invoice for the tolls + administrative costs from XXXX. I contacted them to correct the issue. I was told to contact my local toll authority ( XXXX ) and have them send over verification of a good standing account. I did that. During their exchange of information which I have no control over, XXXX sent my account to collections, subsequently adding approximately {$120.00} on top of the {$30.00} administrative fees ( which XXXX agreed to remove ). My final bill is {$150.00}. I was instructed to contact Linebarger for any removal of their fees, which they told me they would not do under any circumstance, and the collection representative " XXXX '', informed me that I had committed a Class C Misdemeanor and had broken the law. All the toll authority had to do is run the charge again, but they send their accounts to collections because someone is getting their pockets lined at the consumers expense. It is unethical. I did not attempt to break any law and XXXX has since received money on behalf of my toll usage, but has maintained that they will not take my toll payment for this one day.

Currently, my husband and I are being sued by a law firm representing the City XXXX XXXX Water department. We filed a Chapter XXXX in XXXX XXXX . Our rental property was included in this bankruptcy. However, fro m XXXX - XXXX un til the bank took possession of the house, we were charged for the non-meter water account. We received notification from the City reg arding this debt. Each time we forwarded the information to our Bankruptcy attorney who assured us that he would handle it. Clearly, they did n't take care of it because we was later sue d two yea rs after our BR was discharged. I 'm being ignored by the water department and the attorney working on behalf of the City of XXXX is trying to use a sledge hammer approach to handle this account. Moreover, I 'm filing this complaint against XXXX XXXX because he committed an ILLEGAL ACT under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) by stating twice in an email. XXXX XXXX , falsely claimed that because the debt was tra nsferred ( a judgement entered against us ) was final and there was nothing we could do because our time have lapsed. Therefore, we lost our de fense. Which was a total fabrication on XXXX XXXX 's behalf. The fact is, we still had the opportunity to file a motion to set aside the default with the City o f XXXX , which we did.

I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX from Linebarger, Goggan, Blair & Sampson LLP ( hereinafter 'debt collectors ' ) and titled : 'DEMAND FOR PAYMENT ' regarding 3 alleged toll violations from XXXX.
In response to this initial contact, on XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a written debt validation letter via facsimile and U.S. postal. The written response requested that Debt Collectors validate the debt in question ( see sample debt validation letter that I used as reference to my written request https : XXXX ). In short, within 30 days of the Debt Collectors contact ( viz. XX/XX/XXXX letter ), I responded with a written request to validate the debt in question, which I sent via fax to the number provided on the original DEMAND FOR PAYMENT letter and via U.S. Postal ( proof of service available for each method of delivery ).
However, the Debt Collector did not send ANY proof of the debt or respond to any of the requests outlined in my written request to validate the debt in question. Instead, said Debt Collectors sent another DEMAND FOR PAYMENT LETTER dated XX/XX/XXXX.
In short, because Debt Collectors did not send me any proof of the debt, their future collection efforts, as evidenced by the XX/XX/XXXX DEMAND FOR PAYMENT letter, violate my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and to that end, I submit this complaint.

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I received a correspondence from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson , LLP, indicating my vehicle was in " numerous '' XXXX. This matter was allegedly forward to the referenced firm for collections after no response was received. I never received any correspondence from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding violations ; therefore, I can not be in violation of no response. The correspondence from " Attorneys Office '' threatens fines and additional fees if I did not pay an amount of {$79.00}. In response, I sent a letter dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX, disputing the alleged debt. Letter was delivered XXXX XXXX, XXXX, per USPS tracking XXXX. No response has been received from this alleged collection company/law firm. I want proof of this violation, proof the original letter was sent to me, an accounting of the violation fees and costs, and proof Linebarger is licensed to collect a debt in XXXX. This letter is harassing and full of lies. When you search this " firm '' online, all that is found is complaints everywhere. I do n't even recall ever driving on any tolls in XXXX. I want the CFPB to investigate the shady and false collection tactics that are going on here. I want a response from the this " firm, '' and I want justice for the stress that this matter has caused my family and I. Thank you.

I have received repeated robo-like calls from Linebarger GOggan, Blair & Sampson, LLP for months. I did not answer as I didnt recognize the name. After many months of receiving as many as five calls/day as early as XXXX, I answered the phone.
The rep concurred that they were trying to collect debt from the business, XXXX, XXXX, VA who had my telephone number prior to XX/XX/XXXX when I moved to XXXX, VA and took the number for my personal residence.
After months of calls, I answered one, spoke to a young woman. She apologized and said their files would be corrected and I wouldnt receive anymore calls. Below are the calls Ive received since this removal of my number and correction of their files.
XXXX, XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX I called Linebarger today at XXXX and spoke to XXXX. First she couldnt find my number, then she did. I asked to speak to her supervisor, Mr. XXXX XXXX. He was unavailable. I asked for him to email me that their records would be corrected and I wouldnt be called again. I was told that he can not email.
I advised them that I was registering this complaint with the FCC of this harassment, no attempt to confirm they had the correct person and refusal to correct their records.
Thank you for your help.
I appreciate this help.

The City of XXXX, Texas is attempting to collect " outstanding balances '' owed on traffic tickets. The city indicates that because this is not a " consumer debt '', e.g., a credit card, it may use the threatening collection tactics and communication ( issuance of an arrest warrant, towing or booting vehicles ) as a lawful means to collect.
The City also threatens forwarding the unpaid account to a collection agency and increasing the balance owed by a usurious interest amount of 30 %.
The City of XXXX is also attempting to collect debts older than 4 years old, but does not disclose to the individual i the notice letter that the debt may be " uncollectable '' as a result of the expiration of a statute of limitations.
However, the City is attempting to collect using other threatening means. The City of XXXX argues that this debt is not covered by FDCPA because it is not a consumer debt and has cited federal court authority ( see attached ). However, the vast majority of these individuals face the lose or suspension of their driving privileges, a right and necessity many MUST have in order to work and support their families. Therefore, this action raises constitutional concerns regarding the loss, suspension or deprivation of a necessary right without due process of law..

I have received two separate letters in the mail 2 days apart from Linberger Goggan Blair and Sampson LLP addressed to myself but with a XXXX at the end ( I am not a XXXX ) claiming that I have unpaid tolls in both Delaware and Pennsylvania dating from XXXX to XXXX. I was never in either state during that time period - we were locked down due to COVID.
They claim to be the collection agency for both states. They list a Pennsylvania license plate number as the vehicle I used. I do not have a car registered in PA or a license plate with that number. I live in Massachusetts and have two vehicles registered in MA.
I called the number they provided in the letter, spoke to a representative and told the woman that I thought I was a victim of fraud. She put me on hold. Came back on the line and said very nervously " This call has been compromised '' and she hung up. I then contacted the law firm using another number and spoke to the " office manager. '' I said that I was convinced it was fraud and I was not paying the bill. He hung up on me as well.
This is all very suspicious and it needs to be reported and addressed. Either the law firm is real and has fraudulent information, or this whole thing is a scam. They would not have. hung up so quickly if it wasn't fraud.

Linebarger, Goggan, Blair & Sampson, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX. Sent a letter on XX/XX/2018 claiming that {$55.00} was owed on behalf of the New York State XXXX XXXX for a trip over the XXXX XXXX XXXX. The notice does not specify the date of the supposed trip. The {$55.00} dollar amount consists of the fee of {$5.00} plus a {$50.00} late fee. I never received any notice of the original {$5.00} fee and I can not therefore determine whether I am being billed for a trip that even occurred. Also, since I did not receive the initial bill I should not be subject to an arbitraryu imposed late fee that is 20 times the amount of the supposed underlying unpaid debt.
When I called to attempt to discuss this with the law firms collection agent, he was condescending and dismissive of any attempt to discuss the validity of the supposed debt and insisted that unless payment of the full amount claimed to be owing was required or I would not be able to register my car. I dont live in live in New York State and I am fairly certain New York State has zero ability to restrict my ability to register my vehicle in my state. I believe this statement to be a material falsehood and an effort to bully and intimidate me into paying an illegitimate and overinflated debt.

In a notice dated XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( " XXXX '' ) of XXXX, WI informed me of a Delaware DOT toll violation amount due of XXXX. ( I have an active XXXX account and my DMV address is up to date, yet this was the first notification I received of a toll violation ) In a letter sent before XX/XX/XXXX, I disputed the debt and asked for verification.
In a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX wrote that " we are unable to process your correspondence. '' XXXX sent 2 notices dated XX/XX/XXXX further attempting to collect the debt.
On XX/XX/XXXX, by certified mail, I wrote XXXX and explained that I had disputed the debt within 30 days and that they acknowledged they were unable to process my request for verification. Therefore, I considered the matter to be closed.
In a letter postmarked XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX wrote to say the timeframe to dispute the debt had expired and the debt was still due. This was the last written correspondence I received from XXXX.
In a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX ( received on XX/XX/XXXX ), Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson wrote that DelDOT had retained them to " resolve the ... listed amount owed DelDOT. '' The notice does not indicate that it is an attempt to collect a debt and provides no information on how to dispute the debt.

On XX/XX/2019, I received a letter in the mail from the law firm of Linebarger, Goggan, Blair, & Sampson re : " Notice of Debt ''. The letter was dated XX/XX/2019, and written by XXXX XXXX, allegedly a partner at that firm. The notice states that the firm is a debt collector, and that I have an outstanding debt of {$51.00} for delinquent tolls and " associated fees ''. They did not threaten to file a lawsuit. The end of the letter quotes passages from the Thruway Authority regulations in order to scare the recipient of the letter into paying without further question of the validity. A website, XXXX, is given for payment. I also received a Client Code ( XXXX ), and an Online Payment Number ( XXXX ).
This letter is a scam. I have driven in New York a few times, and always paid my tolls immediately through the valid site, which is NOT XXXX, but XXXX. I have not driven in the state for over a year.
The website the letter sends the recipient to is simply the website of the law firm, NOT the New York Thruway system. The letter scams recipients into believing that they are delinquent on a toll. In each legitimate toll bill I have received before, the date, time, and often a picture of the car are included in the message. None of these is included here.

A Demand letter came in the mail for {$160.00} on Tolls that coast {$2.00} each way through a tunnel. I Never received a bill so that i could pay the Toll, they sent it to a Lawfirm called Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP in TX. I called the Lawfirm, they told me if i never received my bills it isn't there problem and it doesn't matter I just have to pay the balance owed. There was no proof or bill of my car & it's license plate Number or picture isn't on demand. Only an Account number they gave me on their demand letter which never stated that my debt was going to Accumulate over {$100.00} in Over a month. Keep in mind that i received my bill at the beginning of XX/XX/XXXX and the bill was mailed out XX/XX/XXXX. So from the day the bill was mailed it was adding more to my bill that I was never made aware of until it was to late. As someone who is struggling to put food on the table and gas how do they ever expect some one to pay this. I would have rather paid the {$2.00}. This has been an ongoing problem for the XXXX XXXX XXXX in downtown XXXX, scamming people out of hundreds and thousands of dollars. XXXX XXXX is that i was never given proper notice of a small simple bill & now this is on my credit tarnishing it over a {$2.00} Toll.

Yesterday I received notice that my state tax return was being intercepted by the group Linebarger, Goggan, Blair, & Sampson LLP.
I did receive notice of intent to intercept filing from same firm in XXXX, but as they provided no information on what this supposed debt concerned and I was not aware of owing anything, the next day I sent them the attached debt validation letter by certified mail to all three addresses present on the correspondence. I was careful to preserve records of my attempts to verify this debt, including keeping a copy of the letter + my individual efforts to verify the debt, and receipts for the certified mail. For the two letters sent to XXXX XXXX addresses, I received the signed domestic return receipts back ; for the XXXX XXXX office I did not, but the tracking number confirms delivery.
I never received any reply whatsoever to my request for verification nor any further correspondence from LGBS, so I was quite surprised to receive the notice from the Tax Board. I was under the impression that by law, if the debtor can not offer any evidence that the debt is valid within thirty days, they must cease collection efforts. It appears to me that Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson LLP have violated 15 U.S.C 1692k.

In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a collection notice from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson in the amount of {$92.00} for XXXX XXXX XXXX State toll collection charges. I immediately called to dispute the charges, and let them know that my XXXX account was closed in XXXX when I moved out of state to XXXX state. I let them know that I physically had not been or driven any vehicle in the eastern seaboard in a decade, and this was not my charge. I asked them to verify or remove the charge and they refused. I subsequent received a second collection notice and called them again on XX/XX/XXXX. I once again called them to say that it was not my charge. They again refused to verify the debt or remove it. They gave me the information that the toll was incurred by an XXXX car with XXXX license plates in XX/XX/XXXX. I let them know that I never owned nor drove an XXXX car, nor have I ever owned a car registered in XXXX XXXX. Additionally, I was not in or near XXXX XXXX state in XXXX. My vehicle is not an XXXX, has XXXX state plates and has never been in or near the east coast. They continued to still refuse to work with me, and refused to verify the debt. I believe that this is predatory collection practices as it's clear that this is not my debt.

Debt collector claiming to be from an attorney 's office, repeatedly tried to get me to pay a tax debt that I explained over and over was a mistake. He acted like he was going to help me fix the mistake, but did nothing. He lied about submitting my paperwork to the PA state tax department for review ( I submitted paperwork after XXXX and by XXXX he called and said PA Department of Revenue had reviewed - no government agency works that fast! ). He also told me that some items we listed on tax returns were not valid write offs, ie. contract labor on a general contractor 's tax return. When I questioned him about this, he acted like he did not just say it. He called me a liar when I told him a letter sent from the state was not received, and then, even when he stated that the letter was returned as non-deliverable, he still implied I was lying to him. He was very condescending, forceful and deceptive and made me very XXXX about his phone calls. He was trying to get me to pay {$46000.00}. Since I did n't trust that his collection attempts were valid, we checked with the state to make sure he was not a scam artist. We actually owe {$100.00} which we will be paying directly to PA Department of Revenue Pass Through Business office.

I disputed the citation in XX/XX/2020 via XXXX and could not find the original complaint in their systems after COVID-19 stay-at-home order was issued across the State of Colorado and in the State of Texas. However, the business did not respond and the complaint was closed.
The company resent the tolltag violation again and I attempted response through XXXX and again never received notice of the business responding until XX/XX/2020. I was not on a toll road and do not accept resolution. I am not required to pay fees on toll violations that the business has not proven as mine.
The company does not have video of any such incident and has continued to harass me via mail regarding a toll road violation it has not proven to be mine. Additionally, it sends information to its XXXX, TX offices which are completely out of jurisdiction and across state lines.

I was XXXX in XXXX 2009. At that time, I was receiving XXXX for my XXXX. While XXXX at the XXXX, I spoke to a VA Representative who assisted me in stopping these payments while I was on XXXX. I filled out the paperwork with her, and we scanned it into the VA. I went directly to XXXX from XXXX XXXX. While XXXX, unbeknownst to me, I was still receiving payments. When the " stop payment '' paperwork finally caught up to the VA, payment was halted ; however, I had incurred a debt. Upon my return to the states and upon filing income tax returns, I discovered this debt. I contacted the VA, who informed me they had sent it to their XXXX XXXX XXXX. I fully paid the debt, satisfying the case against me. This past year, I have been attempting to clean up my credit report. I contacted the VA and asked them to remove this negative remark on my credit reports, especially since I was XXXX, unaware I had a debt, had tried successfully to stop payment, and paid the debt in full as soon as I became aware of it. I was informed they would not remove it. I would like it cleared off of all XXXX ( XXXX ) of my credit reports. I am still XXXX and hope to purchase my XXXX home soon. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

In the past, I have received debt collection notices from other debt collectors for XXXX XXXX, which is missing a letter from my name although they are similar so I keep receiving this person 's debt collection notices. In the past companies have disclosed that my SSN is one number different than the individual in question. In the past, the debt collection was from XXXX and CFPB helped with resolving the issue because the company was still sending notices after I disputed it. Now I receive another letter from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP regarding unpaid tolls and penalties that are owed to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I keep receiving debt collection notices regarding this XXXX XXXX, who is not me. This letter has a reference # XXXX and account # XXXX. The debt collection amount is {$100.00}. I would like to resolve this issue and stop receiving debt collection notices for another person debt. This has affected my credit in the past and as a service member, I need to ensure my credit is good. I have called the number on this letter and the man did not help and just I had to dispute it with proof, but I can't provide that without disclosing my personal information like SSN.

I received a XX/XX/XXXX letter from Linebarger Goggan Blair and Sampson In response to a complaint I filed with CFPB. XXXX XXXX started in this letter that the funds that I discovered had been illegally intercepted were the result of an account that had been forwarded to their office in error by the XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX started in his letter that these funds would be returned to me.
I contacted the XXXX XXXX upon receipt of the letter from LGBS and the Clerk of the Court disputed XXXX XXXX contention and provided evidence that no account had been forwarded To LGBS and that my original debt to the court for a traffic violation, had been PAID AND RESOLVED in XXXX.
Additionally, LGBS has received a check for the {$300.00} they erroneously intercepted and have not returned the money they took from me as XXXX XXXX said they would. This company is now collecting interest on money that belongs to me, has not returned my {$300.00}, and has a history of Class Action settlements for unsavory business practices.
Please post my complaint as Linebarger Goggan Blair and Sampson continues to use illegal means to collect and make money by illegal and deceptive means.

Upon first notification of a debt, I called and requested information from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Samson , LLP. The suggested debt is from the year 2018. When LGB & S said it was from a traffic violation in XXXX, FL on XX/XX/2018. I then retraced my travel and bank records for this time period and saw that I was in XXXX NY working in a hospital during most of the month of XX/XX/2018.
I mailed the debt collector proof, XXXX pages of bank records where I had eaten meals, hotels, gas, etc and paid by my bank card in and around the area of NY that I was working in during the time period in question. I could not have checked in to a hotel or worked in a hospital without photo id. It was not possible for me to be in NY and XXXX FL at the same time on the same day.
I asked Linebarger and Associates to remove the debt and to not pursue it, with me, any further based on this evidence. I also asked that since I work in a medical environment that they do not attempt to contact me or send me any further debt collection bills .I wrote a cease and desist letter on XXXX and received another bill on XXXX XXXX now feel like I am being needlessly harassed.

Notice for Proof of Claim Account : LINEBARGERBGOGGAN BLAIR & SAMPSON, LLP Casse No : XXXX To Whom it may Concern this complaint is submitted Under. Since this is an error I demand that you send me the following proofs. As you are obligated to do in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act. Section 1692 ( g ) : Under the Law, FDCPA, Section 1692 ( g ), you have 30 days to supply these proofs, if more time is needed please contact me by certified mail and I will extend you 15 extra days. I also request to see a certified copy of any contract or agreement between you and the original creditor that gave you the right to collect this debt.
I currently have no suspensions on my driver 's license and I have already made the payment to the proper jurisdiction to satisfy the state of Florida and the City of XXXX XXXX well over 7 years ago. This is quite possibly just an error in data updates or maybe an illegal re-aging of an old account. The date is XXXX for this account I am more than sure that the date of the last activity is nowhere to be found, because it would have shown that this account has already been PAID IN full TO THE COURTS.

2 years ago I was mistakenly given a violation by the county toll roads. I had, and still do have, an account and FastTrack tag with the toll roads, however on the date in question the tag did not register when going through the toll. When I received the violation, I immediately contacted the toll roads via telephone. I gave the representative my account information and assumed the problem was solved. However, for the last two years I have been receiving collections letters from multiple collection agencies regarding this violation. And every time I provide proof of my account and that the violation was a mistake etc etc, but still the collection attempts continue. The latest agency to buy this account is Linebarger, Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP, who continually ignore my attempts at resolving this matter. I have disputed the violation and provided proof to the company in the manner they request, and they ignore it. And I have sent the company three cease and desist letters, all of which have been ignored. As a result, Linebarger, Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP have clearly violated the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act ( FDCPA )

I received two correspondences dated XX/XX/2023 and XX/XX/2023 with my full name and current address claiming that I owe unpaid tolls and associated fees to Massachusetts DOT. The correspondence are very similar to an actual overpaid tolls bill. The purported company used my full name, physical address, and may also know that I was physically present in the state during the listed trip dates for unpaid tolls. The letter header is from Linebarger Goggan Blair and Sampson, LLC, which is an actual debt collection law firm, and the address in the header is XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, MA XXXX, an address to an attorney 's office in Massachusetts. The method of payment, website, and contact information were the first indications that this is fraudulent correspondence from someone purporting to be part of the debt collection law firm. However, any reasonable person would think twice when receiving these letters, especially someone who travels frequently. I'm confident whoever sent these letters has successfully scammed many consumers and hope you can help stop this from happening to someone else.

I received a letter in XX/XX/2018 from a Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP claiming I owed {$52.00} to " XXXX XXXX '' in unpaid tolls and charges. I do not habitually take toll roads so this struck me as odd. Further, I had never been contacted by " XXXX XXXX '' about any amount due so I was skeptical as to how I could be in collections with them. Also, the license plate listed as mine on the letter sent by Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP isn't anywhere close to what my actual license plate is. In fact, the plate number they listed doesn't even follow the naming convention used for personal vehicle license plates in my state. Another red flag! When I researched this " lawfirm '' online I found many accounts from other people of this being a scam and anyone who tried calling the number for the firm 's call center was met with extremely rude, unhelpful people who just wanted to weasel your personal information from you, as well as the money. Consequently, I am not comfortable contacting this " lawfirm '' myself and instead choose to submit this complaint with the CFPB.

XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, California, and Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson are trying to collect a debt from me that I do not owe. They have placed a hold on my son 's back account ( I am on his account, but it is his money that he earned from his job and can prove ). According to their records, I have a traffic violation from XX/XX/XXXX with my old California Driver 's License. However, I have lived in Illinois since XX/XX/XXXX. When I got my license here in Illinois in XXXX, XXXX of the requirements was that I had to surrender my California driver 's license. Which I did. In XXXX, I did not have a California 's driver 's license. Also, in XXXX I gave birth on XX/XX/XXXX to my XXXX child. I found out in XX/XX/XXXX, that I was expecting my XXXX child. In XXXX my husband and I purchased our home. I was not working, as I was a XXXX XXXX XXXX mom. Our finances were extremely limited, and we were not traveling. This is not my debt, and I have enough information to prove that. I would like my son 's money returned, as that is the money he works for, to help pay his college fees.

I filed a complaint because this company is a fraud. This has tried to collect debt for 12 years from me without consulting with their client. This debt they are referring to is from the Illinois department of revenue. Sir, please always consult with your client. Despite a collection for state taxes " the Illinois department of revenue '' will still take your state taxes if you are in collection. They don't care. I work as well so i called the Illinois department of revenue to acquire your collection debt and opened an account to pay my taxes. Unfortunately, i have filed enough taxes that i paid the debt that your company is acquiring by the Illinois department of revenue taking my state taxes. In this case " consult with your client. '' This debt is paid and isnt in collection. Anyways, on contrary, you can also contact your client to get a cheaper settlement. Contact your client to assure that the bill isnt paid or you seem like a scammer. This bill is paid then why are you trying to collect it twice when the Illinois department of revenue took my taxes?

I received a letter yesterday about a fabricated debt. Never had any dealings with the company that was indicated in the letter ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). Called the number on the letter at XXXX XXXX/XXXX/22 and XXXX answered the phone. I told her that the debt of {$190.00} does not belong to me and gave her the reference number on the letter and my name. She then tried to obtain additional information from me, and I told her that I will not be providing any information outside of what is indicated in the letter. XXXX XXXX response to that was " Call us when you are ready to provide the information that we need '', she then hung up on me.
I find it ironic that I have to spend any time dealing with this fabricated debt, but was compelled to XXXX the company that allegedly created the claim and the collector... and was surprised to discover that I am not the only victim. I think a government intervention is necessary here to stop this abuse.
I do not trust the debt collector ( Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP ) and the company making the claim

Linebarger Goggan Blair and Sampson continues to not only violate the multiple cease and desist notifications submitted to them via mail and certified mail but they continue to ignore documentation remitted.
6BH attached was traded in for 8ek over 2 years ago they state there is no record of such however the DMV states otherwise. 7SG attached paperwork this vehicle was transferred in title to a 3rd party and has not been my legal responsibility for years as multiple documents are on file with DMV and also confirmed.
The other one has an account as this moment no issues and is pay as you go. Everyone I know that gets these notifications has the same experience shady. They will disappear for 6-12 months after you respond then come back with some astronomical fee for a disputed balance the tolls are {$3.00} but they are attempting {$2400.00} scam artists. 2 of the 3 are not even mine the 3rd lives no where near the points in question Since you cant seem to adhere to my request Ill send it here as well below DISPUTE ABSOLUTE DISPUTE CEASE AND DESIST

I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson LLP stating that I owed {$500.00} for unpaid parking tickets in the City of XXXX. The dates on the tickets are : XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX.
The letter threatens garnishing my wages and bank accounts, and filing a lien against my property.
I called the Linebarger and explained that the tickets were paid at the time they were incurred. I have lived in XXXX or nearby for more than 30 years, and I ALWAYS paid all my tickets in order to avoid hassles such as having my car booted, etc. Linebarger 's agent asked me for records proving that I paid. By checking account only keeps 7 years of statements, and my records do not go back 20 years, so of course I have no proof at this point. Then she said there was nothing she could do.
If this money were actually owed, why was I never contacted by anyone from the City of XXXX, nor from any debt collector, until now? This belies belief, and it doesn't add up. Either Linebarger has gotten some bad data, or mis-interpreted that data.

Insisted on verification of my birth date and social, despite having my caller ID and account already provided, and wanted to argue they werre not acting as debt collectors, despite the XXXX XXXX ATTORNEY stating they ARE ... The letter does not state they are a debt collector attempting to collect a debt, and instruct to only call THEM not Iowa court. The threat of additional action like " contempt of court proceedings '' and that " Bankruptcy does not discharge any court fines or fees due in CRIMINAL cases '' THIS IS NOT A CRIMINAL CASE ITS A SIMPLE SPEEDING TICKET WHICH I WAS NEVER GIVEN DUE PROCESS IN COURT nor ever notified by any entity. IOWA statute clearly states 20 years to collect, and that has expired.

I parked in a paid parking on in downtown XXXX on XX/XX/2019. I paid the parking fee and put my receipt on my dashboard. Several weeks later I received a " Notice of Violation '' from the parking lot owner. I mailed them a letter letting them know that I paid the fee at the time of parking, and included the original receipt I received when I paid the parking fee in question. I received no response. Then in XXXX of 2019, I received a collection letter from a law firm claiming to be the debt collector for the parking lot owner and attempting to collect the original parking fee plus a large penalty. I sent a letter on XX/XX/2019 again explaining that the original parking fee was in fact paid. Since I had sent the original parking receipt to the parking lot owner following the first notice, I included with this letter my credit card statement showing again that the original parking fee had in fact been paid. I received no response. This week I received yet another notice from the law firm trying to collect this parking fee.

She called my phone and said she was with a law firm and had information to provide me. She then asked for my address and I provided it to her, she then said that there was another address on file. If I wanted the information I would need to provide my older address to retrieve it. Once I told her that I didnt remember it, she hung up. When I called back I was given their website, https : //www.lgbs-ert.com/ and was told it was a collection agency by the automated system. When a representative got on the phone I asked why I was being contacted since their website says that they work for the XXXX city tolls, but when I gave them my license plate, they said there was no collection for that plate. I then told her that they contacted me. After she, the same person that called me, looked it up by my number, she told me she wouldnt tell me why I was being contacted since the address I proved was wrong. She also said that they may have the wrong person then hung up on me. The phone number she used is XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX.

It goes on to inform me that " The Texas Legislature recently enacted laws that provide additional means by which such obligations may be collected, beyond the issuance of a warrant. To avoid any and all potential effects of the pending charge, timely payment is required. ". During my research, I have found many others, that have expressed similar issues from this firm. In addition, the case number, " XXXX '' turned up no results in either county records or a general XXXX search. In addition, many people have reported spam phone calls originating from the phone number the letter says to call ( XXXX ).

Just got a collection notice/bill in the mail for a toll on the XXXX XXXX XXXX, where there is no posted or visible posted signs of toll or pay booth, not to mention I have a XXXX sticker which usually charges tolls directly to my credit card. Says bill is for a supposed violation on 2017 and just now im been made aware. Bill is for XXXX which includes toll plus added fees for non payment. How can I pay something I dont know I owe. I contacted the attorney/collection company disputing the charges with very little help. I contacted the XXXX XXXX XXXX co who referred me back to the collection co. XXXX reviews of this tunnel system is full of similar complaints. Most certainly something ought to be done about ir at the very least investigated about this company shady business practices. Im mailing a written dispute as advised by collection co w/ very little hope given by the rep on said agency. Definitely contacting the local news as well, this scam ought be known by out of towners, must definitely a scam

On XX/XX/XXXX we received a letter from XXXXXXXX XXXX saying that there was a levy ordered by the CaliforniXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX of {$760.00} on our account, and that this money will be removed from our account on XX/XX/XXXX.
We were never provided any information from the debt collector on this levy. We have no idea what debt this could be. We recently purchased a home and this debt was NOT on our credit report during underwriting. We reviewed my husband 's credit report, XXXX XXXX, and found no reported debt, and our credit scores are above XXXX.
When we call the number provided XXXX, they gave us minor details that XXXX County in California had placed a fine on my husband on XX/XX/XXXX - my husband would have been a teenager then, wasn't living in California at the time, and his driver 's license is still in good standing - which if this was a traffic violation his license should have been suspended.
Again, we never received ANY notice until our account was already levied.

A company representative entered my place of employment and had a form she stated I should sign and she would Notarize. I was told the form gave her my permission to research a piece of property ( my home ) my wife and I purchased after my Dad had passed away. I was mislead that this person was working for a Local Attorney. I found out from her Daughter ( a coworker ) that her mom was working for a tax debt collection agency. I did not get a copy of the letter and found that this person had contacted my estranged family in Florida and threatened them with lawsuits concerning this. She disclosed my debt to them, her daughter as she disclosed while having me sign the " research letter '' and she did not notarize the letter in front of me as Texas requires. The date is unclear but I believe it to be XX/XX/2021.
The person 's name is XXXX XXXX, representing Linebarger, Goggan, Blair & Sampson , LLP. The XXXX has many complaints on this company and I am about to file another.

Debt Collection agency contacted my father on several occasions in regards to a debt they are pursuing that I no longer owe. The debt is made up entirely of penalties and fees as the principal balance was paid to the original creditor in XX/XX/XXXX, prior to being made aware that any collection agency was involved. According to the agency, the debt consists of late fees and penalties that have been accruing since XX/XX/XXXX. I have never received any prior communication from the agency, and they claim that the information was sent to an address where I have not resided in over 10 years. Contrary to their assertion that they believed this was correct address, the agency verified my identity by proffering proffering the address at which I currently reside. Additionally, the original creditor sent correspondence to me directly to my current and previous addresses. This company clearly sent communication to a known bad address in an attempt to build up interest and fees.

Linebarger, Goggan, Blair & Sampson LLP have sent documents demanding {$290.00} for nonpayment of approximately {$15.00} ( as best I can tell ) of unpaid tolls. Tolls should have been paid through my toll tag account as per their billing police with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Repeated attempts to resolve the issue have not been productive. I am continually told to call somebody else or put on hold. Asking to speak to supervisor does not work it appears they simply find a phone to pick up and lay on the desk with no answer ( I can hear voices speaking in the background but nobody on the phone. The agency refuses to give me a reason for why tolls were not billed or I was n't notified of the issue. Instead they try to shift responsibility to their client despite they themselves giving their own phone number for resolution. I 've stated repeatedly that my purpose is to find a reasonable accommodation that simply does not amount to extortion, but have not desire to do so.

On XX/XX/2022 the company sent me a letter in the mail falsely representing itself as an attorney while attempting to collect an alleged debt for unpaid tolls and fees. The company falsely claimed I did not pay a debt in order to disgrace me into paying them. The company failed to identify itself as a debt collector while attempting to collect this debt.
I submitted a complaint through the CFPB portal on XX/XX/2022, complaint # XXXX with a letter and invoice attached regarding these violations the company committed against me. The company sent a response on XX/XX/2022 addressed to someone else and the CFPB closed my complaint. In the company 's response addressed to XXXX XXXX XXXX, they violated his rights to privacy by disclosing his personal private information to me. Prior to the company 's response, I had no knowledge of who XXXX XXXX XXXX was. I did not know XXXX XXXX XXXX resided in XXXX XXXX nor that he had two ( 2 ) outstanding fines that he owed on.

I received XXXX County 's Original Citation submitted by Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson , LLP, signed by Attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX representing XXXX County Toll Road Authority. The citation states that I have to pay {$130.00} for the unpaid toll of {$5.00} that occurred on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I have never received the original bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that they claim they had mailed to me on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. According to XXXX County Toll Road Authority, it was only ONCE ( first and final notice ) that the bill was mailed to me. Three years later, without any reasonable option to pay the unpaid toll, I was faced with the citation with the beyond unfair and unreasonable collection fee. I am filing this grievance because the attorney representing XXXX County Toll Authority had not made any attempt to contact me and give me an opportunity to pay this toll. I have tried several times to contact the Law Firm ; however, I did not get any response.

I received on XX/XX/XXXX from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Simpson, LLP, a debt collection law firm.
The notice claims that I owe a debt related to a parking violation that occurred on XX/XX/XXXX in XXXX, TN. I do not own the vehicle in question, and never registered a vehicle with the license plate in question.
I informed the debt collector that I had co-signed for a similar vehicle nearly a decade prior to the parking ticket, but that I no longer owned or had any interest in the vehicle, and I was unsure if that was even the vehicle in question but that I never owned or operated any other vehicle with that description.
The collections representative that I spoke with was exceptionally rude and insisted that since I had once co-signed for a vehicle a decade earlier, that was since paid off and no longer in my name, that I was now responsible for the parking ticket debt. I called back the next and was told the same thing.

I researched the company and they have a 97 % negative comment ratio on their profile with the XXXX. This is a scam and these are absolutely false allogations. I will not stand for this from any business. Like I stated earlier, I have never heard of XXXX, TX more less been there.
I am will file a lawsuit against the collection agency for a violation of the FDCPA if the false claims against me are not dropped and /or if they contact me again in any way. I also have contacted my state attorney general and the Federal Trade Commission to complain about the false claims made against you by the collection agency.

I have received repeated threats of arrest, and/or seizure from the law firm of Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson. The debt, and legal proceeding in question, has been adjudicated over a year ago. The legal proceeding was a civil matter, yet this debt collector had repeatedly threatened and harassed me with vague collection notices, the most recent of which contained a threat that a warrant was issued for my arrest and that I would need to pay the agency in order to rescind the warrant and avoid being arrested by the police at any time. Law enforcement shows no such warrant exists ; furthermore, at the advice of counsel, this matter is not one in which would/could result in arrest regardless ( civil matter ). A quick search online shows this organization is a repeat offender and has used shady tactics to collect debts in the past. Requests to cease communication have been met with hostility and have gone unheeded.

I paid a bill to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$42.00}. The original bill was for {$5.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a bill in the amount of {$80.00}. It was explained to XXXX ( CSR ) and XXXX XXXX ( Supervisor ) that this bill was paid in full in XX/XX/XXXX.
Provided both of them the confirmation number for the payment made in full on the date provided above and still no resolution of this issue.
My issue here is that this was paid in full and yet still managed to make it to collections which negatively affect my credit report. I'm being advised that there were more than 1 toll bill, yet I have an XXXX XXXX ( to pay for tolls ) and I have never been provided a bill to pay. Suddenly, I receive a bill for {$80.00} for something I never knew about. I suspect they are holding onto the bills and allowing them to incur late charges. I have requested proof of these bills be sent to me, to no avail.

On XX/XX/2019, a " Notice of Delinquent XXXX Account '' letter was sent to me by Linebarger, Goggan, Blair & Sampson, LLC, claiming that I owe {$79.00} to the New York State XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/2019, I sent a letter to the above named firm disputing the debt and requesting that they provide me with verification documents.
I moved out of NY state in XX/XX/XXXX, so I have substantial reason to question the validity of the claim made.
The firm did not reply to my request for verification. Instead, they send on XX/XX/2019, a " Second Notice ''. Both Federal and State ( NY ) law require that the collection activity stop once a request for verification has been submitted and remain in abeyance until such verification has been provided. This firm has violated those statutes and has not provided any such verification in reply to my request and is continuing the collection process.

We owned a piece of land in XXXX County, Texas for the last 10+ years. We paid taxes on time yearly. Someone suddenly claimed the possession of our land and won the ruling. The County courthouse judge issued the Final Judgment and granted them the possession of our property without looking at the fact that we have been paying tax for the last 10 years! However, XXXX County continues trying to collect taxes from us even though they said we are no longer owning it!!! We have called, mailed, and faxed them many responses explaining the issue with the judgment. We repeatedly asked them to stop abusing us with threatening letters to foreclosure and damage our credit. We told them we would file the complaint with your Bureau and they still do n't care. We have been stressed out and exhausted from those abusing from State Government Entities in XXXX County, Texas. PLEASE HELP!!!

This is the second time that I received a notice from this Attorneys office claiming that I have an outstanding debt in the City of XXXX, State of Texas. The letterhead is from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP Attorneys at Law.
Their most recent communication states WARNING and that a warrant for your arrest may have been issued by the court. IF a warrant has been issued, you may be arrested at any time by any peace officer. This type of warning is threatening, scare tactic to attempt to collect a debt is against the law and a violation of the FDCPA. To add this is not owed by me to begin with. I dont have a TX drivers license as the notice states. I attempted to contact the number on their fraudulent and illegal notice and no one answers. Also I checked the XXXX website and they have over XXXX complaints against them. Huge mistake of this was done in error.

I have lived in the City of XXXX, State of Washington since XXXX, XXXX. I have not been back to XXXX for at least 10 years.

The Law firm is Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson , LLP and they have threathen to garnish my wages, my bank account and file a lien against my property. I am XXXX yrs old and receiving Social Security. This company did n't even do their work to verify that they have the right person and have now waited 4 years later to inform me of this.

This company sent me a letter that does not belong to me, the only thing that appears to match any of my information is a first name, the last name is incorrect I believe they are mixing my file with someone else 's because there is also an incorrect drivers license number. They claim that there's a warrant for my arrest yet I've just updated my drivers license and nothing was ever mentioned about warrants also this is a collection from over 20 years ago and this is the first time I've ever heard of this and they are sending notices to my address, the date of offense on the letter is XX/XX/1994. I was in highschool at that time and have never wrote a check while in highschool so the entire letter to me seems odd and suspicious. I've checked with the courts whom they say theres a warrant with and there is no warrant for me because they have invalid information.

We received a bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX some time ago ( see attached ) in the amount of {$47.00}, we immediately contacted the county and spoke with a person named XXXX, she gave me some information about the nature of the ticket, we told her that we never received a parking ticket or a ticket was ever placed in the windshield of our car, she also said that the parking violation occurred at the XXXX airport, I informed her that we did not park at the XXXX Airport as she stated, she looked up the car information and told me that the maker of our car was a Dodge Caravan, We told her that we do n't drive a Dodge Caravan. The XXXX employee told me that it was a mistake, that they were going to take care of the error and they were going to investigate. We did not hear back from that office until we received your letter collecting the debt with additional charges.

I received a letter today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) claiming that I owe {$88.00} for a {$1.00} toll that I allegedly did not pay two years ago ( on XX/XX/XXXX ) in Delaware. First off, the license plate number on the letter is not mine. Second, I don't live in Delaware nor do I travel to Delaware and I have photos on my phone from the date they are claiming I have this unpaid toll which proves that I was not in Delaware, I was Washington , DC, which is where I live. Third, I tried calling the number on the letter to this Law Office and no one picks up, I was on an automated hold 20 minutes and finally hung up. Fourth, I looked up this company ( Linebarger Goggan Blain & Sampson, LLP ) and the first thing that pops up are the XXXX reviews, all one star reviews, and people have similar accounts to my own and asking how this company is still allowed to be in business.

I received a letter several months ago from Linebarger Goggan Blair and Sampson stating they represent the state of New York Thru Way and that I have XXXX in unpaid tolls through the State of New York through the XXXX XXXX XXXX. I called and sent them a letter advising that I have never been through the state of New York and that those tolls could not possibly be mine. I requested by telephone twice and in writing evidence including dates and photos and they will not provide me with such. I advised them that I will not pay anything until they produce specific evidence as I have never been through the state of New York. The collector I speak with at this point invariably gets nasty. I have to assume this is a fraudulent attempt to collect a debt and perhaps someone is impersonating the law firm? They keep giving me the account number XXXX

The XXXX Lanes - known as XXXX have repeatedly attempted to call me, sent me threatening letters and forced me to pay a fee for the XXXX account which I no longer have. They confirmed by email, and I had copies of the statement, showing that the " collection closed '' and that I have made and deactivated the account since XX/XX/2019 ( see copies enclosed ).
Yet, I just now got a letter from their collection agency, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, stating that I owed {$80.00} as of XX/XX/2019 and that I need to make a payment within 30 days.
Where does all of this ends? How can we allow these crooks to operate such way. Who regulates company like XXXX XXXX XXXX? How could collection agencies collect a " non-existing '' debt and threatened consumers? Are they using my information to intimidate and bullied me for other purposes?

The XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX claims to have sent me bills for a {$4.00} toll from XX/XX/2018.
I just received a collection notice from Lineberger, Groggan, Blair and Sampson for {$52.00}.
I contacted the firm to get details. I was informed by XXXX that the XXXX XXXX tollroad in XXXX XXXX claims to have sent me bills for a {$4.00} toll from XX/XX/ 2018.
I have paid several toll bills from that time and asked how I could find out or dispute the amount.
XXXX told me that I could only fax a request to the XXXX XXXX. However, I did not take her at her word and called XXXX XXXX instead. They immediately waived {$20.00} told me to call the debt collector back, XXXX immediately reduced the debt to {$32.00} which I paid.
Lying to consumers who may not have access to a fax machine is an obvious attempt to increase the amounts collected.

I received a bill from this law firm from XXXX on XX/XX/2018. There seems to be no legal remedies for addressing to them to stop and they have violated the Fair Debt Collection Act by adding illegal interests to the original debt of {$200.00}.
There is no state or federal laws that require me to pay them and I haven't had a trial or signed any contract telling me I am subject to pay them anything.
I have complained about this same issue before with cfpb. A lawfirm has been hired to collect a debt for the city of XXXX. I have sent a legal letter to them back in the Spring when I got fined for a red camera issue.
They will likely try to sue me or threaten to contact the State to revoke my license for non payment and many states and the Department of Justice has proven this behavior of debts illegal and unconstitutional.

I entered into a payment plan thru XXXX County 's third party debt collector, Linebarger Gaggon Blair and Sampson to get my driver 's license reinstated. I made my 1st payment on the agreement and the clerk of court sent notice to Iowa DOT that suspension should be lifted, but it never was. I attempted to contact the clerk of court and Iowa DOT to resolve this matter but kept getting shuffled between the two. The judge and Sheriff XXXX XXXX were also trying to see why suspension was still in affect and that DOT hadn't removed my suspension. The same happened to them, clerk of court said to contact DOT and DOT said to contact clerk of court. I am very frustrated as I desperately need my license in order to be able to travel for work. I hope you are able to help or point me in the direction I should go next.

I have not received this verification proof but continue to receive letters demanding I pay on accounts that does not belong to me. I feel as though I am being ran over and bombarded at this point, being taken advantage of. After 30 days of failure to do some sort of an investigation according to FCRA is grounds for an immediate deletion within itself coupled with the numerous other violations placed in my original dispute that will be listed below. Please help. My next step is to file for some sort of litigation due to the stress and time I have placed into this circumstance without receiving some sort of mitigation.

In XXXX a voicemail was left on my mothers phone from this company regarding collection efforts on a red light enforcement citation ( {$50.00} ). This has not been my contact information for several years. At the time the voicemail was left I contacted the company and asked that they contact my direct number ( cell ) and remove her phone number. They did not and continued calling a nonparty to this citation even when having the correct information. I explained my mother was XXXX and recently laid off due to COVID-19. However, on XX/XX/XXXX they contacted her again. I have yet to receive a voicemail or collection attempt on my correct contact information. Further, this company refuses to settle and also told me they would not accept payment by phone even though their notification letter states they do.

I was sent a letter requesting payment for tolls incurred by a XXXX registered vehicle in XXXX in XXXX. I have been a XXXX resident since XXXX XXXX and have not owned a vehicle registered in Florida since them. The request letter came from a big law firm located in XXXX and XXXX ( Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson LLP ). It disturbs me that they can send out debt collection letters to people without having to verify any information. In the meantime it has cost me considerable time and mailing costs to respond to their request. I read of similar complaints on XXXX ( people who lived in other states, some that do not even drive ). I did verify that the state turned over the debts to this law firm. Disappointing to see a law firm not verifying ownership before sending out their letters requesting payment.

Dear Sir/Madam ; Out of the clear blue I received a DEMAND FOR PAYMENT letter from a XXXX law firm called Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, based in TX but with an office in XXXX CO. The letter screamed SCAM. They claim that I owe money for a toll on XXXX. I do not believe that I have ever even been on XXXX in my life, they want {$83.00} for what I assume is a $ XXXX dollar toll. They claim that they have made previous notices to me but not how or when and I have never in my life even heard of this company.
The letter reeked of being a scam so I googled the company and discovered a very long list of complaints about this organization and their unscrupulous business practices.
If I did incur a toll I would be happy to pay it, but not {$83.00} for a scammer.
Can you please investigate this firm?

I received a notice for a debt that I had never been informed of from 2009. I called the number on the notice to find out if they had the correct person. They began by asking me for personal information and recalled my number from caller id. I told them not to notate the number, not to save it, and they do not have permission to call me at this number regarding any debt- especially unverified debt. The agent on the phone proceeded to tell me that they could and would continute to call me and I would have to file a cease and desist letter. I hung up. They began calling me and leaving my voicemails immediately after I told them not to call. The voicemail continued to antagonized me and said 'like i said we're going to call you and continue to call you until you pay the debt '. This is harassment.

I did not receive an Initial Toll Violation notice from the XXXX XXXX XXXX for XXXX violation. I called the LGBS number onXX/XX/XXXX and spoke with XXXX. I explained that I had not received an Initial Toll Violation notice from the XXXX XXXX XXXX for this violation. He stated the original toll notice was returned on XX/XX/XXXX and that the address was XXXX XXXX instead of XXXX XXXX. This explanation does not make sense as the US Postal Service delivers mail to my townhome community regardless of the Unit or Apartment designation. I have paid previous XXXX XXXX XXXX violations received at my same address and subsequently opened an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Received a collections notice from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP in the mail on XX/XX/21 stating 3 unpaid parking citations. When I called on XX/XX/21, they informed me there was not just 3, but now 4 citations, even though the notice only included 3. The collections notice includes citations for a vehicle and license plate number I've never owned or had registered to me. I called to inform them they have incorrect data and was hung up on 3 times. On the 4th call, I finally wasn't hung up on and explained they're attempting to collect a debt which is not mine, which is a violation of the fair debt collections practices act as I've never had the car or license plate number for the cited vehicle. They informed me they were going to continue pursuit of collections anyway.

Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP sent me a letter threatening to report any unpaid debts to WA Dept of Licensing who will suspended my license and/or deny future vehicle registration if I don't pay. They're attempting to collect " Delinquent Court Fines '' and since I've never been to court I dug in deeper. Turns out they're attempting to collect parking tickets on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX however, I don't have any unpaid parking tickets. There are no dates listed on the letter, no license plate info, nothing. No one has ever contacted me regarding parking tickets, not City of XXXX ( who you'd think would be the first to engage ), or any other collection agency. All of that being said I'm assuming this is Fraudulent activity and asking for your help resolving. Thank you

LINEBARGER GOGGAN & SAMPSOM, LLP - XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, CA XXXX. Tel # : XXXX This debt is from the XXXX XXXX Red light Signal infraction ticket from a rental car ( XXXX ) that rented in my name while my car was been fixed. Car was being driven at the time by my wife when the infraction occurred. The photo from the ticket shows her clearly driving the car and I wasn't in the vehicle. When the ticket I arrived, filled out the information letting the agency know that it wasn't me driving the car and included all the relevant information of my wife ( DL # ). She has since taken care of the issue and have the court dismiss the ticket. I am however receiving harassing letters and they have refused to go back to their client and verify the dismissal of the said ticket.

Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP is the law firm that is trying to collect an alleged debt from the city of XXXX. I have responded 5 times to the law firm asking them how and what will the city of XXXX or the law firm will take to pay this alleged debt. I am not an attorney so I can not make a legal determination so unless the law firm tells me I don't know how or what to pay the alleged debt. Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP should be liable to tell me how and what can be used to pay the alleged debt. Please see Title 31 section 3124 and Title 18 section 8. The law firm states they got the judge to sign a warrant because I won't pay. Not being an attorney I have several questions that the attorney firm should know, yet they refuse to answer.

Linebarger Goggan Blair and Sampson LLP has been harassing me since XXXX about a debt I do not owe for a vehicle that was sold to XXXX XXXXXXXX. I contacted XXXX XXXX several times and they said they notified the state of Virginia that this car was sold to another party. This company has negatively impacted my credit and also harassed me over and over again on the phone with bogus numbers and threats. When I called them today, the person who responded to the call said she could not talk to me unless I paid the debt. Even after I explained to the woman that I did not have the car and it was sold in XXXX, she refused to talk to me.
So, I am turning to to you to stop this company from contacting me and to have them take this falsified debt from my credit report.

I contacted this " law firm '' Linebarger, Goggan, Blair, & Sampson after receiving multiple calls and letters to advise them that they were attempting to collect an alleged unpaid parking ticket from 2009. They asked for {$24.00} for a parking ticket from nearly 8 years ago. I informed them of the statute of limitations in the State of XXXX is 6 years for debt collection activity and asked that they no longer call me or send me letters. The " attorney '' responded with disregard and claimed that they would continue to collect until I paid it and the penalties in full and that they would report it as unpaid to a credit bureau. I explained that this was in violation of the XXXX laws and he claimed that only XXXX laws applied since their offices are in XXXX.

I received a letter from Linebarger, Goggan, Blair & Sampson located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, alleging that I owed the State of Delaware {$270.00} for " unpaid tolls and fees. '' They had my vehicle license plate number, New Mexico XXXX XXXX. So, supposedly I had driven my car through a Delaware highway collection point and not paid. The State of Delaware has not been in touch with me asking for payment.
I checked online and found several complaints about this company, so I decided to contact the cfpb. I am happy to pay any legitimate fees I owe the State of Delaware, but I certainly do not owe them {$270.00}. And I do not want to line the pockets of a fraudulent law firm.
Can you help me?
Thank you!

In 2013, I filed a state tax return in XXXX. My Federal return for 2013 was later amended. The transmission for unexplained reasons did not automatically correct my XXXX return. When corrected, the State of XXXX said I owed additional tax. The respondent was not licensed in XXXX XXXX as a debt collector or attorney. The threatened to bring suit against me in XXXX where I did not live and actually stated that service of process on me at an address in XXXX that I no longer owned was " good service. '' They threatened to garnish my wages and never gave proper notice of my debts. They also denied me lawful appeal rights available through their client. I am out my legal fees of {$7500.00} plus statutory damages under FDCPA and emotional distress.

I am being harassed by a collection agency named Linebarger Goggon Blair and Sampson. They have repeatedly called my home number even though I have informed them that they have the wrong number. They have called 5 times in the last two weeks and probably 20 times in the last 3 months. I have politely told them they have the wrong number, but they ignore me and demand my personal information. They ask for a person that doesn't live here and get rude when I tell them that no one by that name lives here. I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX veteran living on a fixed income and the calls are triggering my XXXX. Luckily this morning I was able to jump on my bike for a ride to calm down. I thought there were laws about collection agency harassment.

I have received numerous written attempts to have me pay a debt already paid with the XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX. I have requested they stop calling me, have complied with their request for proof of payment, have contacted the XXXX XXXX XXXX, have gone online to ascertain if the debt is real. The XXXX XXXX XXXX assures me that I owe them nothing, even though the collection agency asserts that they have been hired by the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Courts to collect the debt. I have gone online to the site the collection letter refers me to, an official XXXX Government site, and there is no record of any outstanding debt there, either. Now the collection firm is telling me a warrant will be issued and my drivers license will be revoked or suspended.

I received a NOTICE OF DEBT from Linebarger, Goggan, et al for a parking violation. This correspondence claims to collect an outstanding debt when this is the first I have heard of such a claim. I did indeed park in the said lot on the said date, however there was no attendant on duty either upon arrival or departure from this lot. I also did not observe a machine to make payment. I will gladly pay the {$5.00} flat fee which is the advertised rate for this lot and mail it directly to the XXXX ( owners of the lot ), but I refuse to pay the astronomical {$60.00} fee demanded in this letter. I have researched this law firm extensively and have uncovered hundreds of other victims of this scam. Someone please close these snakes down.

My company filed for chapter XXXX bankruptcy XXXX 2013 and listed the City XXXX as a debtor. A law firm contacted my in about XXXX of 2013 telling me that I owed a debt to the City XXXX for an unpaid business license for 2013 for a company that was closed at the time the payment was due. We had previously closed the company on the City 's business web site.
At this time I told them in writing of the chapter XXXX filing and asked them to cease and desist all further attempts to collect the debt that was included in the bankruptcy.
I never heard from them again until a few weeks ago when the same law firm sent me another demand letter for payment even though the debt was included in the bankruptcy filing and discharged.

I received a dunning letter datedXX/XX/XXXX from Linebarger Goggan et al. claiming that I owed XXXX XXXX {$170.00}, presumably for an uncollected toll with unknown surcharges ( their online payment number XXXX ). This is the first I had heard of this alleged uncollected toll. I have not owned a vehicle that may have been driven in Colorado sinceXX/XX/XXXX
I wrote Linebarger XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, disputing the debt, stating I have not owned any vehicle driven in Colorado since XX/XX/XXXX and stating that an alleged uncollected toll from more than 4 years ago has no credibility.
Linebarger never acknowleged my letter. Rather, they sent a " SECOND NOTICE '' wrongly claiming that I had not responded to theirXX/XX/XXXX letter.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) in Colorado charged me correctly for using a toll road on XX/XX/XXXX. I thought nothing of it expecting a bill for ~ {$5.00} in the mail. Nearly a year later on XX/XX/XXXX I receive a notice that I was sent to collections for {$50.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I never once received the bill or was given notice of failure to pay. XXXX made XXXX effort to contact me, and instead seems to be using debt collectors as a racket to increase the fees they charge on their roads. A cursory XXXX shows a multitude of similar complaints against them in the news, and seems to establish a trend of predatory and fraudulent behavior by this company, hence this official complaint.

The reference number I typed in was XXXX instead of XXXX ( this is my number ).

I was contacted by this law firm- Linebarger , Zgoggan Blair & Sampson claiming to collect a debt on behalf of XXXX prepaid program, but the issues with the letter they sent me were that : it had the wrong parent company name ( they used XXXX instead of XXXX ), they used the wrong website ( XXXX, instead of XXXX ) they used an account number that was n't mine, and my account setup with XXXX mandates that they automatically reload my account from my credit card, so having an outstanding balance is not possible. My opinion is that this law firm - Linebarger, Zgoggan Blair & Sampson is practicing some sort of fraud to collect money from toll customers.

Upon further research I found that the violations were made when these vehicles were not in my possession as they were sold before the date of the violations. I have been sending letters back and forth with this organization for 10 months and even had to get my lawyer involved. I have proven that this is not my debt but I continue to receive harassing letters from this company. At this point I have done everything I can.

I called the phone number on the letter XXXX and they said they did n't have any other information except it was a ticket from 2004 and I lived in XXXX, TX. I 've never lived in XXXX, TX therefore they have the wrong person.
They said they did n't have any other information than that, and they will continue to try to collect the debt.
I searched for citations online for City of XXXX, and XXXX County and could not find anything.

almost every year someone from this company calls me to pay a traffic ticket and even they send me a letter to pay the ticket on their website. They act as if they are part of the police or high way patrol and or affiliated to them. Their collection letter looks the same. Perhaps they have those affiliations. But if a company uses their affiliation and call every year for a bogus claim that means they are using their power for fraud. It not possible that every year they have computer problem. or forget to close the file in the system and it was someone else fault. They are for sure doing fraud.

As I know nothing about this matter dated XX/XX/2005 I called the company seeking info. While on the phone call they continually threatened to sue me then wreck my credit and finally put me in jail. I kept asking them why the matter is so old. They said there was no time limit. I asked for proof. All they sent was a fuzzy photo copy of a picture of a an intersection.
The date on their paperwork is XX/XX/2005. It is 17 years old.
I feel that they are threatening me. I feel that theyre not legitimate. I feel that theyre giving me false information. I fear this company.

I received a " Notice of Debt '' for {$80.00} for driving through a tunnel in Virginia. The bill has no date, no license number on the bill, no picture to verify it was my vehicle, and it was sent to an address that is not my DMV address and is not currently nor has not ever been my drivers license address. I am concerned this is a scam. I never received an original notice from XXXX XXXX XXXX so I would like proof of the original invoice with the charges on that bill if there was one and where it was mailed ( with same identifying information requested above ).

I understand that I have been reported to a collection agency for unpaid toll fines. I want to pay or settle the account. I 'm asking for the additional fees to be removed and that I am charged only for the original fee associated with the toll violation. I 've tried to call the collection agency but the hold times are in excess of 45minutes only to speak to someone that will not help resolve the balance. I do n't know how to move forward. Registration holds have been placed on my vehicles and this will only beget more fees. Can the bureau help me?

I received 2 notices in the mail to pay a toll violation debt. I know it is fake because the license plate is obsolete, all violations have been paid, and I have an EZ PASS prepaid toll pass. The letterhead is in XXXX but the mailing address is XXXX Their website is designed only for payments and nothing else. When I searched for this violation on the XXXX state toll website, there were no matching records for this license plate, violation number, or reference number. I think this is a scam firm trying to collect fake debts from gullible people.

This debt collection company is unlawfully attempting to collect {$2.00} worth of tolls and has assessed me with a " fine '' of an additional {$100.00} for toll evasion. I did not amass these tolls. They've offered me a " hearing '' only if I pay the full {$100.00} as a " deposit ''. When advised that they do not have jurisdiction to collect for the transportation company nor assess penalties without due process, they attempted to extort me and claimed that they " will levee my bank accounts and withdraw the funds without my knowledge ''.

The XXXX toll roads imposed a toll on us for {$15.00} and payment was made for this amount. Then a notice was received by the law firm Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson stating that check payment for {$15.00} received on XX/XX/, however, the notice was transitioned notice 2 on XX/XX/. This generated an additional balance forward of {$3.00} which was immediately sent to collections without sending us an invoice. Now it states we owe {$100.00}! Verification and validation was requested but there is nothing we received that validates this.

Linebarger Noggin Blair & Sampson , LLP is a debt collector pursuant to title 15 of the United States Code. As a federally protected consumer, I am being harassed for debt which is illegal under the false claims act and 15 USC 1692. The most troubling issue concerning this matter is this fraudulent attempt to collect an alleged debt is for a parking ticket over 7 years ago which also is also defined as a violation. There are numerous violations listed in the attached document including a criminal violation of 18 USC 1341.

They called me claiming that I owed an insane amount of money for a toll I supposedly took from two years ago. This is absolutely the first time I have heard of anything at all. They said it was my fault that I did not know I was being charged and that I never got a bill. Since this was the FIRST notice of any bill at all, I offered to pay the original bill which was {$3.00}, but they said I owed over {$77.00} because I was sent to collections without my knowledge. I will not be bullied into paying this.

The statement has a Total affiliated with only XXXX license plate number.
Actually there are XXXX license plate numbers shown in the Tag No. column. Also, the Total is {$10.00} more than the sum of the amounts shown when adding up the Amount column. There is no explanation or category that explains the additional amount. They are also threatening me with immobilization and impoundment etc. This seems like harassment.
