This complaint must be taken serious, as my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act were violated by a Delaware law firm. I plan on filing a complaint with the Delaware Office of Disciplinary Counsel, Supreme Court of the State of Delaware. I have attached copies of documents proving that I have had a working relationship with a law firm known as Lyons , Doughty & Veldhuis, P.A. through a third-party business. The attached documentation will prove that there was a successful negotiation between the parties on a XXXX XXXX lawsuit. This matter was settled in a professional manner. The same third party known as XXXX XXXX XXXX was working on two additional matters, both XXXX XXXX retail credit cards. Now here is where the problem starts. In the first place, the law firm of Lyons , Doughty & Veldhuis, P.A. continued with a lawsuit without my knowledge. The third-party representation submitted a limited power of attorney, copy attached. However, the lawsuits were being presented to this law firm without any evidence that the two credit cards were purchased. InXX/XX/2017 a US Supreme Court decision was handed down known as Henson v. Santander Consumer USA Inc. This decision essentially strips all rights to a citizen that protects him/her with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). The decision claims that third-party ownership VOIDS the FDCPA. On face value it would appear that Lyons, Doughty & Veldhuis, P.A. would not have to protect my rights even during a debt mitigation process. Essentially, this firm moved forward with summary judgment on two credit cards, while my third-party was interested in settling, just as he did with the XXXX XXXX lawsuits. This complaint states that Lyons, Doughty & Veldhuis, P.A. has committed fraud against a citizen residing in the state of Delaware. My position is solid based upon the following criteria : 1 ) All of XXXX XXXX credit card debt portfolios are securitized, and currently the entire debt portfolio owned by securitized trusts sold within Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines is in the tens of billions of dollars. There has never been any research completed by Lyons, Doughty & Veldhuis, P.A. on debt ownership. Im certain all that this firm received was a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX that they acquired two credit card debts owed by XXXX XXXX. 2 ) The debt buying business is the largest scam in America against American consumers. XXXX XXXX XXXX is up to its neck in current class action lawsuits and Federal Trade Commission complaints. Yet Lyons, Doughty & Veldhuis, P.A. filed lawsuits on debts not proved with a proper ownership chain. There simply is no way these credit card debts were transferred out of any securitized trust. Lyons, Doughty & Veldhuis, P.A. is committing fraud on all legal actions without proper due diligence of debt ownership. 3 ) Lyons, Doughty & Veldhuis, P.A. has now moved forward with a garnishment procedure with my employer, stating that any/all negotiations are off the table. This is outrageous. 4 ) Lyons, Doughty & Veldhuis, P.A. has asked for a fight, they will get one. Additional complaints will be filed and I will find a law firm interested in tying up Lyons, Doughty & Veldhuis, P.A. within a XXXX XXXX litigation. 5 ) Lyons, Doughty & Veldhuis, P.A. in the best interest of its firm must open up lines of communication to resolve the matters by negotiation while I am still interested in such a resolution. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter, and a bar complaint is pending for one week only. Then I will no longer negotiate either directly or through an additional party. XXXX XXXX

whom it may concern : A notice of execution was placed on me. Im getting harassing letters and phone calls about what I allegedly owe through the company XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I have spoken to this company and multiple times and have asked for proper debt validation, which is allowed by Revised Code 1319.12, 1321.01,1321.51,1321.71 and 4767.031 laws and have been denied. Today I was given information to contacted the law firm Lyons, Doughty, Veldhuis, P.C. ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and XXXX XXXX XXXX ) formally XXXX XXXX XXXX. I spoke to several associates XXXX, XXXX and their New Jersey Associate XXXX XXXX in an attempted to ask for proper debt validation. I was transferred several times and placed on hold. I shared with XXXX that the account had been closed and two cases have been filed under this collection agency. XXXX informed me that I could not receive any documentation and I should contact XXXX XXXX. I did as instructed only to have my call be redirected back to the law firm using the same number provided. Once asked why the call was redirected, XXXX explained to me that all XXXX XXXX calls are forwarded to Lyons, Doughty, and Veldhuis to prevent debtors to call seeking information. This comment caused concern and it was under my impression that the law firm and XXXX XXXX may be the same entity. However, I repeatedly asked for documentation to include 1 ) who transferred title of ownership on debt ; 2 ) who was the trustee ; 3 ) who has the certificate of notice/default. I also asked for a legible copy of judgment. The conversation was unpleasant and I was told that the law firm does not have a copy of the transferred Title of Ownership. The associate XXXX XXXX consistently attempted to discuss the debt and whether I would make restitution. He then responded back that they will send me what ever they have and stated that the time has lapsed to receive this validation when I stated to him I had the right to this info he kept repeating the statement they going to send what ever they had and I had no right to this validation request because time has lapsed. I stated I had the right to this info and he disconnected the call

Lyons, Doughty and Veldhuis of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NJ XXXX have sent a copy of a garnishment of wages that indicates that it comes from the XXXX County court house. This document adds an additional {$570.00} to the balance due. In addition to that, the total due is incorrect. We have contacted them on several occasions and requested for them to provide a detail of account of what is due, including monies paid to them. This company is collecting on behalf of XXXX XXXX. This company has never supplied this to me. I spoke to a XXXX and both times she said she didn't realize we needed a detail list of what is due. She tried to use semantics indicating that the balance was correct, however, she was indicating the original balance which is not in dispute. On multiple occasions she wanted to send me to another department for de-escalation, I told her simply, all we are asking from you is a detailed of the amount you are claiming that I owed. I contacted XXXX XXXX and they no longer service the debt. I did inform her the amount is wrong and fraudulent. They claim to record all calls, please take note that if that is the case, they should have record of my calls and request. This collection agency is continually harassing my place of employment by sending letters, including during this pandemic, when I was having trouble contacting someone to speak to at my local XXXX County court house. My place of employment in good conscience can not deduct money from a sheet of paper that clearly is inaccurate.

I was contacted by a Law Firm ( Lyons, Doughty and Veldhuis XXXX ) in regards to a debt owed to XXXX XXXX Bank. I immediately notified them that this was not my debt and that I would like verification. ( Proof of fax receipt enclosed ). They then sent me a copy of a XXXX XXXX Statement with a name XXXX which I am not and have never used. Included was a typed letter with a notary stamp ( not raised ) that named not XXXX. But me with my address. I can only assume this is a deceptive practice used by this firm. I sent them another response stating that this was not my debt. They filed court action and I would not sign for the registered letter because it was addressed to XXXX. Shortly thereafter I received registered mail with the XXXX removed ; I can only believe this to again try to deceive me into paying a bill not owed. I have contacted XXXX XXXX Bank at XXXX and after they asked my birth date and last XXXX I was told that it is not my debt. I asked for proof and they said they would not share that because it was not me they were collecting from. I told them about the suit being brought and the response was just tell them it is n't you. ( Conversation all on tape ) If I could find out that easily, I would expect a law firm to do the same. I was told by the superior court ( Docket No. ) that I have to pay court costs to respond to this phony lawsuit. I just received another letter in today 's mail ( XXXX ) telling me to pay the bill because I am being sued.

Re LDV File No. XXXX The above referenced firm Lyons , Doughty & Veldhuis falsely filed a court judgement against me in XXXX of 2014. Rather than fight the matter further in court, I agreed to a repayment plan effective XXXX XXXX, 2014. Payments have been made faithfully since that date on a monthly basis, and in some cases two months payments were made. It appears that these payments may have been recorded incorrectly prompting the firm to send me a certified letter ( attached ) indicating that a Notice for Execution Against Wages, which could have possibly resulted in the termination of my employment. Given the gravity of these implications, I felt my XXXX XXXX XXXX and began to immediately feel XXXX XXXX. I was able to gather myself to call LDV and review my payment history with them to which a XXXX . XXXX XXXX was very kind and attempted to calm me down, and told me I had nothing to worry about, then proceeded to force me into a new agreement that would double my monthly payment. I also reiterated that none of this would have happened if they set the account up on an auto deduct from my bank account, however, they said that this could not be done. The matter was unintentionally made worse each time XXXX XXXX referenced a judgement that was still unresolved. At this point the damage that this very threatening letter was already done. I will be heading to a clinic now to have my XXXX XXXX checked or to determine if I need to go to an emergency room.

approximately a month and a half ago started receiving calls from a debt collection law firm for a person who i do not know..this went on everyday ... .it was a computer generated call ... .they have the nerve to tell me if this is not me i should not listen and hang up and call them ... .i believe this was total harassment on their part..also an invasion of my privacy and an unfair business practice. my time belongs to me ... if they want to find this person ... let them have a human find him ... not put this on innocent..excellent creditworthy people who have to be subjected to this unethical practice to make money .... they think they are winning, because ultimately the only way the calls will stop is when you call them ... ..i don't work for them..they aren't paying me. just think if all debt collection companies did this!!!???

On XX/XX/XXXX, a credit card account was opened using my name with XXXX XXXX, and accumulated debt was developed totaling over {$10000.00}. I never received any information from the bank, but a Writ of Summons by a collecting agency for a court appearance of XX/XX/XXXX, at the XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Maryland ). Identity theft is evident because there were XXXX transactions described by the collection agency in XX/XX/XXXX, in XXXX XXXX, Nevada, while I was in XXXX XXXX practice as a XXXX in Maryland. I contacted the FTC, the police, the bank, the collection agency. No information on bank statements, which I requested, was provided because the litigation creates a freeze pending trial. I would appreciate your help.

XX/XX/XXXX : I first recieved a notice that I was being sued by Lyons, Doughty & Veldhuis ( LDV ) regarding an alleged debt. XX/XX/XXXX : I filed a response/opposition and was notified by LDV that this matter was no longer being pursued. XX/XX/XXXX : A notice for a default judgement was sent to an address of a home that I do not own. I was never given a summons with a court date for which I needed to appear. Amongst many other shady tactics, the fact that this company pulled this stunt during the middle of the 2nd wave of a pandemic for which I have lost MULTIPLE loved ones is inhumane to say the least!

Lyons, Doughty, and Veldhuis P.C. FAILED to answer the information I asked from them to validate the alleged debt. They instead sent me some papers which were never received at this residence that were photocopied as their " proof ''. This debt collector also stated that I was not allowed to ask for a debt validation because it was past 30 days. Thats incorrect and is a simple scare tactic they are using thinking that I do not know my rights. Debt collector ran my name, SSN, and other important/personal information through the US Dept of Defense without my knowledge OR consent which is ILLEGAL.
