Hello, Please forgive me if you are not the correct agency for my issue. I feel strongly, however, about reaching out regarding this matter. In XX/XX/XXXX, my husband and I received a judgment out of Civil Division Court of General Sessions in XXXX, TN for an XXXX Medical visit from XXXX. The Debtor is Mendelson Law Firm in XXXX, TN and we spoke and agreed to have the debt deducted each month from my insurance I-account credit card in the amount of {$25.00}. I don't recall getting a full final total amount of garnished debt ( foolish on my part ), and so {$25.00} has been deducted out of my I-account until it ceased in XXXX of XXXX. The total amount paid to them was {$790.00}. I noticed there were no more payments deducted from my insurance I-account and never questioned it as I just assumed the debt was paid in full. Nor did I ever hear from the debtor, Mendelson Law Firm, regarding this. Until last week ... Then, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a garnishment notice from my employer in the email regarding a garnished amount of {$280.00} to be deducted from my next paycheck on XX/XX/XXXX regarding this debt. The details for this amount are stated as this : Judgment balance : {$17.00} Clerk 's fee : {$25.00} Prepaid Cost : {$240.00} I was confused, to say the least. I called this firm to get details on the total amount due in this judgment and today, XX/XX/XXXX, I received a copy of the CONSENT JUDGMENT FOR PLAINTIFF. It does state the amount due of {$810.00}, plus statutory, 5.75 % post judgment interest and costs ( of which I calculated it to be {$46.00} ). This Judgment does not mention any other fees and certainly not the prepaid cost of {$240.00} mentioned above. I reviewed all of my I-account 's payments and they total {$790.00}. When I subtract this from the {$810.00}, I owe {$17.00} ( of which we both agree ) and I also see where I owe {$46.00} for the 5.75 % post judgment interest and costs, but I don't understand how they added in a prepaid cost of {$240.00}. And this is where I hope you can help me to understand if they have a legal right to do this or if this is just greed on their part. When I spoke to them earlier this week, I questioned why in the world would you garnish my wages when I have been paying you faithfully for 3 years? I had no idea the judgment wasnt paid in full since 1 ) I never received a full breakdown of the total amount ( even asking for it earlier this week ), and, 2 ) I didnt cease and desist the payments from my I-account. My phone number has been consistent for 6 years and I am thinking should they have tried to give me a call to pay a measly {$17.00}? And even if you add in the interest costs to the final {$17.00}, thats only {$64.00} total due. Its maddening they would go out of their way to garnish me for that when Ive been faithfully paying for three years? You can imagine Im upset, perplexed and am hoping this is a practice that is illegal on their part. Maybe it isnt and maybe they can somehow get away with this, but Im going to question anyone and everyone to my satisfaction to find out if this is a legal procedure for such a small amount of debt owed. I want to thank you for reading through this. Im hoping you did anyway, and I hope you may be able to assist me or at least guide me in the right direction. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

XX/XX/XXXX Notified of debt via USPS mail XX/XX/XXXX Contacted the office via mail for debt validation ( no response ) XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Mendelson and Mendelson and talked with XXXX ( ext XXXX ) who informed me that the debt was valid and I had to start making payments or I will be taken to court. She indicated to mail the payments, but I told her I do not recall that I owed the debt and I would like proof of such before making payments. I also asked how old was the debt since I could not remember owing. She indicated that they verified that the debt was valid through an internal process and that it will take a while for them to process my request for proof and that the age of the account did not matter because I can be sued at any time. However, while we wait, I must mail the payments or I will be immediately sued. She initially told me to mail money orders, but I requested portal access for documentation purposes XX/XX/XXXX - Requested update on debt validation ( no response ) XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX - Requested update on debt validation ( no response ) XX/XX/XXXX - Notification of lawsuit XX/XX/XXXX - Talked with XXXX at Mendelson and Mendelson and informed her of the lawsuit. She said the purpose was to ensure that I continue to make payments and that she could send me out a payment arrangement document to sign or a settlement form and the lawsuit would be over. I directly asked her was it a payment arrangement or a judgement. She then replied a judgement. I told her that I was not going to agree to anything without knowing I owed the debt. She then told me ( as they usually do ), that I do not have to respond to the lawsuit because since I called in, I have fulfilled what I needed to do. This information given by XXXX was incorrect. XX/XX/XXXX - Responded to the lawsuit again requesting validation ( copies filed in the local courts and sent law firm a certified letter USPS Tracking number XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX - Mendelson Law Firm sent a consent judgement erroneously indicating that I agreed to it. I did not agree to such at all and did not sign it. XXXX XXXX - Received payment history with last delinquency date of XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX - File another response in the court and sent same letter to Mendelson and Mendelson informing them that they violated my rights to proper debt validation and the lawsuit is time barred for enforcing the debts through the courts.

I received a letter stating that I would be sued for an outstanding balance on a hospital bill in XXXX of 2016. The number to the Mendelson Law Firm was listed as a contact to set up payments before the said court date and I have been making monthly payments with this firm since XXXX of 2016. My issue is that there have been several inconsistencies regarding my account and when I ask questions for clarity, the staff just give me the run around and are extremely rude. Every time that I call the firm to make a payment, they always ask me for my routing number, my bank account number, my social security number, and they even went so far as to ask who I am banking with. As debt collectors, that is a violation of the FDCPA and I am aware of my rights. I do not understand why such personal, sensitive information is required just to make a payment on a hospital bill. When I ask them to explain to me why it is necessary for them to have this information, they put me on hold for prolonged periods of time and the responses are vague and rude. They wo n't allow me to speak with anyone else other than this rude rep who goes by XXXX with no last name, which I find highly suspicious. They will not send me confirmation receipts of my monthly payments anymore. When I ask, they tell me that they will send it out within 7-10 business days and I never receive anything. The balance is listed on my credit report so I called the number provided under the account and the rep said that no one is listed to collect the debt except for them. This really makes me think that this Law firm/debt collector is fake and I do n't feel comfortable paying them another penny and I wo n't. I know that the debt is real. I just do n't believe that Mendelson Law Firm is supposed to be collecting on it. They have a rating of XXXX stars out of XXXX on every site I have researched them on and they are not an accredited business. This needs to be investigated. I 'm afraid that they will drain my personal account dry if I do n't continue to make the payments. I feel extremely helpless. There is no way that I owe two companies for payment on the exact same hospital bill.

Noticed my check was being garnished but I never receive anything from anyone about who or why.. After making a few calls, I find out its Mendelson law firm. I call them on XX/XX/XXXX and they told me I had a balance of XXXX and that they would send a copy of the judgement against me. After looking over the copy they sent, it said that the judgement was for XXXX I 'm not sure when my check started getting garnished but i have each weeks check from current day to XX/XX/XXXX stating how much had been token out each week for a TOTAL of XXXX that is XXXX too much. I 'm not exactly sure when the garnishment started, it was sometime around XX/XX/XXXX but could have possibly been a week or so earlier. When I ask the lady on XX/XX/XXXX what the balance was she told me XXXX I spoke with the same lady again on XX/XX/XXXX she told me my balance was only XXXX I was confused as to how in 7 days did my balance get reduced by XXXX dollars in 7 days when my check was only being garnished of XXXX a week. The lady asked to call back. She called back in about 15 minutes and told me the original creditor was XXXX and the Mendelson had assumed the bad debt from XXXX. She also said that since I last spoke with her 7 days prior, that Mendelson had received one payment of XXXX something dollars and one that was a XXXX dollars. Again me being confused as to how they were getting XXXX checks when only XXXX dollars was coming out of my check each week, I asked her. That 's when she started telling me of assuming the bad debt. I think the whole firm is shady and may never stop trying to get money from my check. Oh and I think I fail to mention that the original judgement was dated XX/XX/XXXX.. I 'm not sure but I thought after a determined amount of time, these things expired

Apologies for the lack of information provided in my earlier complaint. On XX/XX/XXXX, my employer received a notice to garnish my wages from Mendelson Law Firm. Prior to this notice, I had never heard from this law firm, despite the fact that they somehow had my correct phone number on the papers that were served. The debt in question was from a XXXX credit card that I opened XXXX years ago. Frankly, I had forgotten about that card and assumed that the statute of limitations had run out on it. The amount listed was {$1700.00}, though my original credit limit was only {$1300.00}. I called Mendelson Law Firm to ask what I could do about it. They told me they would stop the garnishment if I paid {$2000.00} up front, then agreed to make payments on the rest of the {$4000.00} balance. When I asked what contact attempts had been made to me, XXXX ( legal assistant ) told me that they did not have to contact me regarding the revival of a judgment ( apparently there had been a judgment in XXXX as well, but I was never made aware of this that I can recall ). When I asked what contact attempts had been made to collect the debt PRIOR to the revival of the judgment, she did not answer my question and forwarded me to her supervisors voicemail. Mendelson Law Firm has purchased this nearly-two-decade-old account to extort money from me. A garnishment to my wages would significantly affect me and my XXXX children, as I am the primary wage earner. They have told me that I have to pay MORE than my original debt in order to keep this garnishment from occurring - for a debt that they have never contacted me about. I am deeply concerned about the legitimacy of their business, for myself and other consumers that they are preying on.

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I was treated at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Hospital for XXXX. At the time my husband provided my current insurance and personal information. At the time, I had XXXX insurance, through XXXX XXXX XXXX. Shortly after the services, I received a bill from the Emergency room and ambulance service. I paid all out of pocket expense ( about {$1800.00} ) which I assumed was the complete bill for that date of services. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( 14 months later ) I received a bill from XXXX for a collection account in the amount of {$5100.00} for XXXX XXXX XXXX Florida. After researching this, I found out that the hospital did not update my insurance info or personal information, so my bill was not submitted to the correct insurance company. Also I was never called or received any information regarding this bill until XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. Now my insurance co, XXXX, will not pay and the hospital wants me to pay out of pocket {$5100.00} which I do not have or do I feel it is my responsibility since it was caused by their neglect. Especially since the other companies had my correct information and billed me in a timely manner and were paid in full. Now the account has turned over to Mendelson Law Firm, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TN XXXX. They provided a letter that states this bill was turned over to XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. As stated above I was not notified until XXXX XXXX, XXXX after I moved to another state. This proves no attempt was made to me for over a year. If I was notified in a timely matter my insurance company would have paid the bill and this would have never happened. Please investigate this lack of billing integrity which has caused this financial burden on me and my family. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX

I have a medical bill turned over to this company twice by the same hospital. The first time I received a forwarded letter from an old address that they had taken me to court and were going to garnish my wages. Not to mention the fact that the only reason I owed this debt is because the hospital did not file the claim in a timely manner with the correct insurance company. I tried to explain this but was told that I had to pay it anyway. I set up payment arrangements, updated all of my information. Just recently I received another forwarded letter that I had missed a court date and they were going to garnish my wages. Keep in mind that this company has all of my updated information. The hospital does as well. Yet it was still sent to an address that I have not lived at in more than 18 months. Once again the hospital did not file the claim in a timely manner with the correct insurance company. So now I've missed 2 court dates that I had no clue about and my wages are in the process of being garnished. Mendelson informed me that there was nothing I could do but pay the claims. I do not think this is fair or correct. Especially when this company was very well aware of where I live, my phone number, and where I work. Of course, they didn't have a problem filing garnishment with my employer. Yet didn't feel the need to update my information so that I could show up to a court date and dispute my case. I do have letters from my primary and secondary insurance companies showing that I had insurance and that nothing was filed on the dates that I am being garnished for.

I moved from my previous address of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Tennessee XXXX a year ago. Today XX/XX/2023 I received a phone call from a law office of Mendelson Law Firm XXXX informing me that XXXX and company is trying to charge me for a drywall problem, carpet, trash and other miscellaneous issues. First, of all the trash I had a feeling about because I still drove past my old house after I moved and people was putting trash in front of the yard and around the house. Secondly, I call the company after I returned my keys because someone was going into the house and I wanted to let them know. I was staying in that home for XXXX years and I have asked repeatedly to get new carpet or pull it up and all they did was put new carpet on the stairs. I had to rent carpet cleaning machines to try my best to clean that carpet. The drywall issues came from plumbing issues causing a hole to constantly be in the garage because of the leaking in the bathrooms. I am no longer able to log into the portal so I can show proof of constantly putting tickets in about that issue but I do have a picture and video. I dont get my deposit back for the house because I figured with all the trash out front they would charge me for that. But anything else I am not responsible for and no one tried to contact me before today with this issue. I always paid my rent and never was a bad tenant.

I was notified by the payroll dept that my wages were going to be garnished regarding a filed judgement. After contacting the representative of the creditor, we agreed on a lump sum plus monthly payments. I never knew that I had a court date for this matter, so I asked for all documentation. He could not supply me with that, and advised me to get that from the court. However, I also asked to receive written notification of our agreement, as well as written monthly statements showing payments and current balances. The legal clerk said that that could not be provided, although if I paid over the phone by electronic check I could get balances each time. I was also not notified of the date of the last payment on the card, which was approximately in 2005. I am now aware of statute of limitations in collection matters. As a debtor, I have rights as well, and I believe that I am entitled to receive the written documents that I have requested. I was a paralegal for 12 years, and did the billing for my department. We represented banks and credit agencies, and we sent monthly statements to debtors paying on collections. If I am paying this large amount of money, I would like to see monthly statements.

Mendelson Law Firm has threatened to take legal action against me by filing a lawsuit for a debt I " allegedly '' owe a credit card debt. I have asked them to provide LEGAL and VALID proof of the debt. They have NOT provided me with proof that this debt belongs to me. In response to the first validation request, they presented a " Bill of Sale. " The printing of a Bill of Sale does not support adequate documentation or validation. I then requested actual and adequate validation of the debt. I have the legal right to request Validation under Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. They have NOT responded to my request with adequate proof. Not only have they failed to validate, but they have also continued to report this information WITHOUT proof to the Credit Reporting Agencies. Thit is not only Defamation of Character, but a clear VIOLATION of the FDPA, as well as the FDCPA. They have not provided me with any contract between their company and myself. They also have not provided me with a contract between me and the " creditor '' XXXX XXXX XXXX. Seeking payment from me, and requesting that I attend court for a debt that they " claim '' I owe is absurd.

Mendelson Law Firm did not inform me that I could dispute the debt and threatened to garnish my wages on a debt that had passed the statute of limitations. I did not receive any notice until, the notice stating that a judgement against me had been made and I did not want them to garnish my wages, and agreed to make payments. I have made five payments on the debt, but the debt amount is not showing a decrease and I am not receiving statements with new amount owed. Also, the company bought the debt for much less than they are charging me, yet they are charging me the original amount plus fees. They paid less than {$1500.00} for the debt. They are charging me over {$5000.00} which should not be legal. I have made payments every month since the agreement. They agreed on XXXX per month, but I have been paying {$50.00} every month.

They are claiming I now owe 5.25 % in accruing post judgement interest of {$850.00}. I have no had no notification that an amount beyond the judgement has been allowed by the court.

I told them that this is not my debt, must be some mistake, I had to appear in court but did not get a chance to speak to the judge, was told to wait that some one would call me, I tried to explain but she did not want to hear any thing I had to say she gave me another court date.

I have never received any calls or mail from this company before over any debt. Today Im served with court papers for a medical bill. It has mine and my spouse name on it. We are confused and want this resolved so that we do not have to go to court.
