After paying all the back charges of XXXX XXXX Benefits Fees to XXXX XXXX, XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, a satisfaction letter was received from Pickett Law , LLC in XX/XX/XXXX after I filed a motion to the court to mark the judgment satisfied. A new annual amount of {$750.00} was due XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX sent an overdue letter on XX/XX/XXXX with late payment charges of {$75.00} each for not paying on time in XX/XX/XXXX and then XX/XX/XXXX. Therefore, XXXX XXXX, XXXX recorded the new amount on their dated XX/XX/XXXX ( received XX/XX/XXXX ) was {$900.00}. No where on that letter indicated that my new annual amount would be turned over to a debt collector if not paid before XX/XX/XXXX. On the letter, XXXX XXXX, XXXX instructed me to pay them directly. On XX/XX/XXXX, The debt collector, Pickett Law , LLC left a letter on the door of my home address on XX/XX/XXXX threatening to place a lien on my property for incorrect dates of XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX ( remember the new annual isn't due til XX/XX/XXXX for the new year of XXXX ). Also, Pickett Law , LLC added attorney fees and fee for the letter placed on my door. When I emailed Pickett Law , LLC and cc 'd XXXX XXXX, XXXX contesting these additional charges, Pickett Law , LLC states a " certified letter '' was sent by process server. This is not factual. I said I plan to pay {$900.00} on XX/XX/XXXX because I do not believe I should have to pay these additional fees 9 days after an overdue letter on XX/XX/XXXX. Pickett Law , LLC claims debt collection will continue until they get the full amount. XX/XX/XXXX, I paid {$900.00} directly to XXXX XXXX, XXXX as instructed by XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Can you help me? Pickett Law , LLC has overcharged me in the past and has taken advantage of my illness to not being able to come to court. I don't want it to happen again. For example, they sued me for XXXX in court but collected over {$4000.00} from me. This company never update the courts with any of my payments until I took action.

It states that my account is delinquent for non-payment of the repair or replacement of Air Handler Unit on XX/XX/XXXX by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I sent letter disputing this debt for the following reason : I've never received the item or service from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I contacted the management office and they told me that it is for installation of AC unit on XX/XX/XXXX by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I've never contacted to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX and didn't make a maintenance request to XXXX. Copy of invoice is attached, there is no customer signature authorizing work.
