On or about XX/XX/XXXX, I was served with papers for a lawsuit in the Civil Court of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from Rubin & Rothman , LLC, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, N.Y. XXXX. They stated they represented XXXX XXXX XXXX and the amount being sought was {$5700.00}. There was no warning of a pending lawsuit or any attempt to collect any money from either XXXX XXXX XXXX or Rubin & Rothman LLC. This attempt at collecting {$5700.00} makes no sense since I had already paid off any debt that I owed XXXX XXXX XXXX. I voluntarily surrendered a car to XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. I paid off any debt owed from the car in XX/XX/XXXX. My credit report indicates this. ( I am enclosing a copy of the credit report which pertains to XXXX XXXX XXXX ) Both XXXX and XXXX state I have a XXXX balance and my past due amount is XXXX. XXXX notes in it comments, " Account legally paid in full for less than the full balance. '' I had an agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX to make three payments in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX which I made to fully pay off the car which my credit report indicates. What makes no sense on my credit report is that XXXX states I owe {$6900.00} which is not the amount that Rubin & Rothman state I owe. In addition, the XXXX report states I have been paying off the car in XXXX and XXXX even though I turned in the car in XXXX and have not made any payments on the car in XXXX and XXXX. I answered the complaint on XX/XX/XXXX, in the Civil Court of New York. I said I did not owe the debt and that I paid off the debt already. In addition, I mentioned that I was a victim of identity theft and stated that the identity theft may have something to do with the lawsuit. I spoke with XXXX XXXX of Rubin & Rothman on XX/XX/XXXX. He confirmed to me that the car was voluntarily surrendered on XX/XX/XXXX. He also stated the car was sold in XX/XX/XXXX. I never received any notification of this. He also confirmed to me that I had made three payments to XXXX XXXX XXXX, 1 ) {$440.00} in XX/XX/XXXX 2 ) {$1300.00} in XX/XX/XXXX and 3 ) {$1300.00} in XX/XX/XXXX. I told him that is when I paid off the debt so why are you suing me. He responded that he would have to check with XXXX XXXX XXXX to see exactly how much I owe. I told him that the credit reports state I have legally paid off the debt and he responded that he doesn't look at credit reports only papers that XXXX XXXX XXXX gives him. He also stated that he does not report anything to the credit bureaus. I the3n received a letter from Rubin & Rothman stating to me to give them a statement of Identity Theft and to review my credit reports. This after Mr. XXXX had already told me that he does not look at credit reports. I did respond to their letter giving an explanation. Today on XX/XX/XXXX, after speaking to XXXX XXXX who gives me credit counseling, I called XXXX at their direction. I spoke with XXXX ( work # XXXX ) and asked him who was reporting that I owed a balance to XXXX XXXX XXXX and have been paying for the car in XXXX and XXXX. He responded that XXXX XXXX XXXX reported this and reported this to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I explained the situation to him, and he advised me to file a complaint with CFPB which I am. I have been treated very unfairly by both XXXX XXXX XXXX and Rubin & Rothman. I feel I am being harassed. I am being sued for a debt I already paid off. I was given no warning of getting sued. I was just served with papers. The law firm admits I made payments months after I surrendered the car. They also admitted that they don't know how much I owe due to these payments. My credit report confirms that I paid off the debt legally and have a XXXX balance. It also appears that XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting incorrect data to XXXX credit bureaus was confirmed by the representative from XXXX. I am enclosing the necessary documents from my credit report for your review as it pertains to XXXX XXXX XXXX.

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I sent the following correpsondence to XXXX XXXXTo Whom It May Concern : I recently received correspondence indicating that I am being sued by XXXX XXXX. I am writing this letter to inform those involved of the circumstances surrounding my account falling delinquent. After the birth of my child in XXXX XXXX I was deemed XXXX XXXX due to complications with XXXX and XXXX XXXX. After several attempts to return to work full time, I was awarded monthly social security XXXX benefits in the amount of roughly XXXX a month. Since I was not qualified for XXXX until XXXX years after date of XXXX, I had to pay XXXX a month for my XXXX a month out of pocket. In XXXX, I was awarded XXXX however I had to buy additional insurance to cover this therapy. Luckily, I started attending XXXX University in XXXX, which offered insurance with out of pocket cost of XXXX every XXXX months. Yet still my prescription plan does not cover my XXXX at full price. In Fall XXXX, before I started my XXXX, I was hospitalized XXXX times for XXXX, and essentially caused me to lose my part time job the last time. My XXXX income helps me take care of my XXXX year- old, purchase my medications, childcare, food, bus fees for school travel, rent and utilities. I do not qualify for any assistance at all because of my XXXX allotment, with the exception of childcare assistance for school that covers only half my son 's tuition. I also had custody of my XXXX from XXXX to XXXX due to my sister 's XXXX at that time. In order for me to take care of my son and myself I needed my car. I was put in an awful position when XXXX repossessed my car even after I explained my situation. I even attempted to pay the XXXX late car payments the day my car was repossessed but no one would speak to me. I was told XXXX XXXX did not want my business anymore because my payments were late. Recently my son 's father passed away, leaving me responsible for all expenses related to him as well. My circumstances are not typically, It was a risk I to accept a loan from XXXX XXXX however I did not think I would be facing the health crisis I am in now. I certainly did n't expect to be XXXX today and not physically capable of working full time. I am willing to pay XXXX the amount owed to them minus the interest and late fees. I only ask that I am given a logical amount of time to accrue the money given the circumstances. I have can supply my social security award letter if necessary. Regards, XXXX XXXX XXXXOn XXXX XXXX, XXXX I went to court, and agreed to a consent judgement in the amount of {$8000.00}. I was told since I was not contesting the debt that I could pay it back if and when I was able to earn substanial gainful income. I was also told from the attorney representing the Rubin and Rothman that, he understood my hardship and even with this judgement my Social Security XXXX and Federal Student loan money were protected from garnishment. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I checked my account to find that monies I transfered from checking to savings to distinguish between XXXX and book money for summer class was on hold. When contacting the XXXX and questioning why I was never notified of the levy, I was told by XXXX XXXX, " they did not have to let me know they were levying my account '' and I would need to wait to hear from them to get the levy removed. I called XXXX XXXX court, they told me to contact the lawyers office again, as they could not hold federal funds by law. Prior to this I spoke to XXXX XXXX, and told her I could continue to submit documentation that my only income is XXXX however she said they will continue to try to collect. Now I have a levy on my account that is causing me more stress than needed.

My father and I had a car loan taken in XX/XX/XXXX. We went to XXXX dealership in XXXX XXXX, XXXX NY. We filled out paper work with myself being the co- Signer. When the final paper work was drawn up, the amount was over {$900.00} a month. The finance manager assured we can come back in 6 months and have the amount reduced. After 6 months we can back and the entire staff was changed with new employees. They could not honor the refinance. In XX/XX/XXXX we decided to voluntarily give car back to XXXX XXXX who was financing the car. After several attempts we finally got XXXX XXXX to pick up the car. During the time Of XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX of XXXX, I did ask For the contract. The XXXX dealership told me they will send it in an email. It was so frustrating I gave up and during that time we were giving back the car. A month later I had a credit repair guy help me situate with the XXXX XXXX. The dispute was with giving the car back and owing the rest of the amount. After another several Months, the credit rep finally got the contact in full on XX/XX/XXXX. After a through review, I noticed that the info my father and I had on the contact was false. If they took our original information we most likely would not of got that expensive car. They put down that my father and I make {$5000.00} per month each. They also put down that I did not pay rent and I live with a relative. Both statements are not true. I do not make XXXX per month. I do not live with my relatives, I live with my wife and XXXX kids. Did attempt to call XXXX back on several occasions but could not get in touch anyone who want to hear what I have to say. I was so desperate I had to go on the XXXX messenger to find their company and see if I can talk to someone. The representative did not take enough interest to understand that the information that was the from the XXXX dealership to XXXX XXXX was false .I have documentation to prove that we do not make XXXX per month and I do have a definite prove that I do not live my relatives as I am so a married person with XXXX kids. The amount that was financed was {$73000.00}. Our monthly payment was XXXX per month. The reason the high amount is we gave in a car to trade. I told XXXX XXXX at the XXXX dealership has falsified info. I have heard From other individuals that to the XXXX dealership in the XXXX New York has practice scamming customers. In our situation my father was taken for what he had by falsifying his information to show how much he makes per month. My father is on SSI and XXXX. And makes only {$1900.00} a month. As of now I am being given a paperwork in regards to possibly being sued for the amount when is that I reached out on several occasions to try resolve this but they said because we signed it is valid. When we sign it was all electronic. So we did not actually see the contract in front of us to review and if we did I would definitely stop it. They really put on a show for us and deal with this supposed to do so Sell They say we owe XXXX. I also explained during the time of the car be given back that we do not make that much and this is why we give the car back. I also asked the XXXX XXXX if they can help us try to resolve this matter without charging. I didnt not get any correspondence with any of the things I asked expect a bill

In XXXX XXXX, I moved XXXX continued to find employment and made minimal payments, but got to a point on no money and called XXXX to notify of hardship. I called every month and they ensured I was fine, and I was sent to collections. After a few months, I got a temp job and was working with a XXXX credit attorney and made monthly payments, after a year I was unemployed, called to notify Attorney, and was told to call next month, I did this for 5 months, then the person I was working with left the company, got a new representative, they never called me back, called the office and left messages and later found out the office closed. I called XXXX recovery dept, they said I had to wait to hear from new credit attorney and that XXXX could not help me. During this time I have moved, and assume the the XXXX attorney XXXX update my information to XXXX. No one sent me a letter of called my phone, XXXX XXXX I moved XXXX and XXXX XXXX I get a bank Levy. My bank gives me the contact information to a XXXX court representative and I was told to speak with the Credit attorney about the Levy, I call XXXX and XXXX of XXXX XXXX, and speak with XXXX. She asks me why I never responded to the letters, and I said I never received letters and that I moved, she got my current address XXXX and realized I was out of state and said she had to close the file and the Levy will be released. I asked her who I can speak with to get this debt paid, and set up for a payment plan, she said she did n't know and that I will have to wait to be contacted again. I wait for the XXXX to be reversed, but it does n't happed. I was told by his office worker organ that, XXXX XXXX of XXXX court says that it should n't matter that I am out of state and that I need to speak with XXXX and XXXX again. I call them and they say my file is closed and they are waiting to hear from XXXX, I have updated all my information with everyone so that I can make sure someone will call. I tell them they levied my husbands ' unemployment, XXXX tells them to take the money and it will be used as a payment towards my debt, and I feel they did n't give me a chance especially since they had an address that I lived at 4.5 years ago. I was n't trying to hide from my Debt, because I am currently paying off my student loan, and now have a steady job to set up a payment plan. I felt I was forced to just allow that money to be taken when I was trying to get the situation resolved. XXXX wont even speak to me and keeps telling to speak to their credit attorney and I have to wait to speak to someone. XXXX and XXXX said the Levy will be reversed because I was out of XXXX, and The XXXX court XXXX XXXX, did not listen to them to reverse it and told XXXX and XXXX, that me living out of state should be an issue. I was speaking with each party and even updated my information with each party to ensure they had my correct information. I hope you can help me.

This complaint against Rubin & Rothman & Associates for deceitful and unethical practices on collection action. In XXXX entered into a stipulated agreement for the amount of XXXX for $ XXXX. During COVID, my income became severely challenged as a result of increased expenses, depleted resources and caring for myself and family. The agreement was to make payments via check and/or money order monthly which became extremely difficult. In addition to caring for myself and family, where the entire household became ill I tried effortlessly to make payments to maintain my agreement. Nevertheless, in XXXX I received a phone call from said collector indicating that A default judgment eas entered for lack or failure thereof to make payments in a timely manner. At the time, I was dealing with medical issues for myself without compensation, which I advised the representative for R & R. I received no updates from the courts with regards to the judgement to dispute at the time due to the courts being closed to the public, severe backlog and trying to care for myself, an elderly parent and a child. Nevertheless, I spoke to a representative who states that documents would be sent, needed to be signed and to continue making said agreement amounts of {$50.00}. I continued to oblige to continue to make payments, where I can injured again resulting in an extended medical leave without compensation. I tried to toggle food, water and shelter and paying my bills until XX/XX/XXXX until I just couldn't manage paying any payments. I tried at the time to advise the reps at the agency, but their extremely rude, disrespectful and conduct their law firm with unethical business practices. I tried to reach out to XXXX as well whom the Rubin & Rothman is hired by and have yet to receive a response. Ive been had little no income since XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX of this year after returning to the workforce. There has been absolutely no correspondence received from Rubin & Rothman since the phone conversation in XX/XX/XXXX when there was an issue with payment and them being advised that I was on medical leave until XXXX of XXXX, receiving paperwork from XXXX XXXX Sheriff office for income levy and garnishment in the amount of {$11000.00}, which is way more than the agreed amount, no deductions of the payments made in the mount of XXXX XXXX I contact the attorneys office requesting a copy of the stipulation all payments made and have yet to receive. I have also filed a complaint with XXXX attorney general office for Unlawful and unethical business collection practices from this law firm hired by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I need for initial agreement amount to be reinstated, this judgement to be dismissed, the levy to be removed, a DEDICATED REP from XXXX to handle to my account to resolve this issue amicably.

Both XXXX XXXX. and RUBIN & ROTHMAN , LLC, through practices relating to the attached matter ( XXXX XXXX. vs XXXX XXXX ) have broken a number of laws including The New York State Bar Association Rules of Professional Conduct and the US Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. I received the attached complaint from Rubin and Rothman LLC. that lists Attorneys including XXXX XXXX XXXX. On page two it clearly states XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. with the Rubin & Rothman LLC address. When an Attorney uses XXXX. after their name and provides a New York address as their place of business, it unequivocally states that XXXX XXXX XXXX practices law in New York State. XXXX XXXX XXXX is suspended from practicing law in California and New York and in New York with a disciplinary history states as Yes '' I spoke with the RUBIN & ROTHMAN Attorney XXXX XXXX on XXXX. I called at the bequest of the Judge in the case that parties speak with each other. I offered to settle the matter for what the potential cost would be for me to mount a defense- {$500.00}. XXXX XXXX declined the amount to settle and refused to provide a counteroffer stating that : - XXXX XXXX was sitting right next to her and purposefully lied that he was suspended for administrative reasons in NY and not disciplinary reasons - That it didnt matter anyway as XXXX XXXX XXXX was not practicing law in NY as he was practicing law only in Connecticut XXXX - " Even if you do prevail - we will just file again and " The debt will never go away During the call XXXX XXXX violated my rights under the US FDCPA by asking for all of my personally identifiable information on a recorded line. I was talking with XXXX XXXX to negotiate at the bequest of the judge as a self represented litigant AND NOT as a debtor. This is a distinction that XXXX XXXX was unable to make as she illegally plowed ahead with her incorrect, wrong and disingenuous agenda that offered unsolicited legal advice, threatening, bullying-and harassing behaviors and hung up the phone call mid conversation after saying we can tell that judge that we spoke. I have a long list of illegal and sloppy work and actions taken against me by XXXX and XXXX including insufficient production of records, false affidavits and insufficient service.

0n XX/XX/2018, around XXXX, someone was pounding very loudly on my door. He claimed to be serving me a lawsuit on behalf of Rubin and Rothman LLC, but then told me to call the company to work something out. He handed me an official looking paper stating the Supreme Court of The State of New York XXXX County summoned me to answer a complaint brought by XXXX XXXX XXXX and, if I did not respond within twenty days, a summary judgement will be taken against me. This didn't look legitimate to me as there was no official seal, judge 's name or court date, and it also stated on the bottom that " we are attempting to collect a debt '' ; so i brought it to the local police station where a police XXXX contacted the court clerk who said that, while they were familiar with the law firm, no action had been brought against me. I also looked at my credit report and saw that, unbeknownst to me, XXXX XXXX claims to have charged off my account ; but there wasn't a negative comment, or any mention of Rubin and Rothman, LLC. In fact, I had never heard of this company before being " summoned '' -- there were no attempts to contact me by mail or phone. In summary, I do not believe that I owe this money ; Rubin and Rothman, LLC acted improperly by sending a putative process server to my door when he was merely a bill collector ; Rubin and Rothman, LLC pretended to act on the authority of the court ; and, finally, Rubin and Rothman, LLC claimed they are representing XXXX XXXX XXXX when it seems they are a third party bill collector. The full contact information for the company is as follows : Rubin and Rothman, LLC. XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX, NY XXXX. XXXX. Finally, I am a retired person living off of a mere XXXX pension ; maybe, if they had done some research first, they would have realized that, even if I did owe this money, there is no way for me to pay.

My sole income is Social Security XXXX and Supplemental Security Income. Rubin & Rothman started sending me collection letters on XXXX XXXX regarding a credit card from XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. I sent immediatedly a cease-and-desist email indicating that my sole income were federal XXXX benefits, which are exempted from garnishment by federal law. That was not enough for Rubin & Rothman, and they sued me in state court on XX/XX/2023 without serving me the papers. Fortunately, I got to know about the lawsuit on time by checking the courts online database and responded to the court. Rubin & Rothman knew that my case was an automatic dismissal, but they continued with their harassing letters threatening me with future legal action if my financial situation improved even if they could not collect currently. I filed for bankruptcy on XX/XX/2023, which orders an automatic stay while the case is resolved, and submitted the corresponding evidence to the state court. Rubin & Rothman wrote a collection letter on the same date of my bankruptcy filing and another the following day after the bankruptcy court notified all my creditors of my filing. Two months later, Rubin & Rothman had no option but to petition the state court to dismiss their lawsuit, and I received my discharge one month later. This complaint is about three violations : ( 1 ) attempting to collect a debt from exempted income even after the debtor notified Rubin & Rothman in writing ; ( 2 ) inflicting emotional distress by threatening a XXXX debtor with future reviews of the case, including legal actions ; and ( 3 ) sending repeated collection letters, one day after the other, with the sole purpose of intimidating the debtor in violation of the automatic stay from the bankruptcy filing.

for the past 2 years I constantly received phone calls from a company Rubin & Rothman LLC claiming I owe XXXX {$31000.00}. I actually was/did have a dispute with XXXX about a loan which was only {$14000.00} as you can see it's reporting on my credit reports as a write-off ( I'm still busy disputing it with XXXX, as it was a result of a accident and my insurance didn't pay the full about. FACTS! 1 ) XXXX told me clearly they will not send it to collections, and it was very upsetting when they charged it off and they mailed me a XXXX. 2 ) Whatever the case, the amount in dispute was {$14000.00}, as you'll see from a copy of my credit reports I'll attach here. however, this so called licensed debt collector called and harassed me that I owe XXXX {$29000.00}, and told me on every phone call ( I wish I would of recorded it ) " WE WILL GET A JUDGEMENT AGAINST YOU AND MAKE SURE TO EMPTY ALL YOUR BANK ACCOUNTS!! '' the last 6 month I simply began ignoring them, which I was dealing myself with XXXX. Yesterday I though I'm going to have a XXXX XXXX, I see a Debit of {$75000.00} out from my bank account. I called my bank and they told me it's from this firm Rubin & Rothman LLC which was the plaintiff for XXXX. How can such a thing happen, and how can they get away with this!! # 1 there's no judgement # 2 if there is a judgement, why am I not aware of it? # 3 if there's a Jugdement why wasn't I served? # 4 how in the world did they come up with {$75000.00}? I can buy 5 cards with that month. Even I defaulted on 5 cars it wouldn't be {$75000.00} WE MUST STOP THIS CORRUPTION!! now XXXX put a hold on my entire bank account, and closed my 2 credit cards, because XXXX suspected it's fraud!!!

Rubin & Rothman have engaged in numerous unethical tactics and behavior that violates all State And Federal Collection practices. I recently had an identify theft breach in XXXX and was sent a FREE copy of my credit bureaus. I see that R & R have been running my credit on a monthly basis without my permission and in violation of my rights. They appear to have obtained a Judgment without ever serving me with any legal papers and without ever properly putting me on notice of the underlying lawsuit. They obtained a fraudulent default judgment on a debt I am certain I do not owe and now they are looking to collect it knowing that my time to open the default has ended. Now that I have discovered the issue I have learned that They have used tactics which violate my privacy by contacting friends and family members on their cell and house phones even after repeatedly being told that the number they were calling does not belong to me. Just last week they called XXXX XXXX ( name to be provided ) on a cell phone that is not mine and and inquired about my employment and said they were looking to collect a debt. She informed them that this was not my number. Other family members have alleged the same tactics. They have gathered and used improperly private information about me and about my friends and family members. Family members will attest to feeling harassed by these tactics. They have also disclosed to a third party that is not my employer that they have obtained a Judgment against me hurting any opportunity I have to do business with that company. They have also informed my neighbors about my debt completely causing me shame in my community.

Most recently I received a judgement by the XXXX civil court in XX/XX/XXXX following a request to vacate claims against me, under, False and misleading representation and debt, Section 807- a, 4 and 9. For unfair practices Section 808 -1 and Section 809- a and c. I continue to be harassed and violated. On XX/XX/XXXX my bank account was charged citing a legal order I have no knowledge of. In this case again they fail to provide validation of debt or provide me proof of a legal order. XX/XX/XXXX bank was also not provided with proper information about the matter of which this event originated. My account was withdrawn {$5700.00} and XXXX of which was not specified from why. I am beginning to notice a pattern with Rubin & Rotham and XXXX XXXX. My encounters with both of these companies date back to XXXX. This is harrassment. It became more apparent last year when XXXX XXXX was suing me, for a medical bill and Rubin and Rotham also initiated a claim against me at the same time. This year they are both back, coming after me again. This time in full violation as if I do not get the right to protect myself. On XX/XX/XXXX Rubin and Rotham took XXXX, XXXX dollars from my account plus a separate amount of XXXX for XX/XX/XXXXknows what!!! .. I received no notice. In fact it was brought to my attention after I called my bank regarding another notice I received Rubin and Rothams partner in crime XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX ; threatening me with a notice to restrain my bank account on a claim I agreed to pay last year and am still paying each month up to this very month ( XXXX ) they are taking XXXX from me.

On XX/XX/XXXX my mother, informed me that her account was blocked and she was made a aware of this when she tried to purchase her medication at the pharmacy. I assured her I would resolve this for her as she is XXXX and has her limitations. I will keep this as short as I can. Turns out there was a judgement to place a hold on her account by a collections agency claiming that there is a debt in the amount of {$8400.00}. However, this hold is allegedly because of me and not her. I am a signor in her account therefore they went after her funds. I find it odd because I have my own personal account, but they went after hers. I fought and fought about this because I have no recollection of this so called credit card debt and I also was never even served by them. I demanded they mail me documents supporting this accusation and received an affidavit dated back on XX/XX/XXXX. Surely I would remember being served with something such as this 5 years ago and I would have definitely filed an identity theft claim back then. They are savages and I went to the civil to file an order to show cause and also have a court date XX/XX/XXXX to have this dismissed and vacated. My poor mother does not have access to her funds that are 100 % to her ownership, I am only the signor in case I have to do something for her on her behalf but these are NOT my funds but they sure went after her money. As of now I will be filing a police report. Thank you in advance. XXXX

I paid this auto loan in full. The amount past due was {$580.00}. My XXXX was repossesed and I had to pay to get it out. A debt collector, went to my employer and garnished my paycheck with my employer. The debt was paid again. Then Rubin & Rothman , LLC garnished my employer. I went to court, submitted an Order to Show cause and proved that the debt was paid twice. Rubin & Rothman , LLC would not drop the lawsuit and continues to garnish my paycheck and not report any paid amounts. This {$580.00} debt that is paid is now {$31000.00} for a XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX that had multiple recalls and was not safe to drive. I had to junk the vehicle because the Anti Brake system was on recall and no one could fix it and it was so old, none of the XXXX Car Dealerships wanted to honor the recall and repair the mini van. I reported to the Marshall that this was fraudulent and I reported to the law form that this debt is paid in full and fraudulent. This is fraudulent and illegal.The original debt is only {$580.00} and I am being garnished for {$31000.00} for a vehicle that wasn't worth {$300.00} and I was putting my family and everyone on the road in danger when I drove this vehicle.

I am filing a complaint against the following law firm Rubin & Rothmann , LLC for unlawful practices such as wire fraud, mail fraud, and defrauding consumers such as myself. The above law firm has filed a civil suit against me for a default judgment on an alleged debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX. Rubin & Rothman , LLC purposely sent the civil suit to an address, which is not my actual domicile. They sent presentments to an investment property that I previously owned and have been sold years ago. Due to this underhanded tactic a default judgment against me from the XXXX county Courts was honored. I consequently was improperly served therefore I was unaware such civil suit existed until months later. The XXXX County Courts however continued to move forward with procedures filed by Rubin & Rothman , LLC to garnish funds from my payroll account. I was never given the opportunity to answer the Civil suit in a timely manner subsequently why I am here filing an investigation against their unlawful practices against consumers such as myself. They claimed I owe an alleged debt with no validation that such debt exist or a signed original contract with my name displayed.

I received an income execution for a vacated court order, on a balance that was previously satisfied with the same collection agency XXXX years ago. I want this collection agency held accountable for violating my rights. As this company has attempted to collect a debt that they knowingly knew was not outstanding. It is documented on the letter head from the same exact collection agency XX/XX/XXXX. In the letter it is noted that the debt was satisfied and there would be no further collection action. XXXX years later this same collection agency initiated collection action by using their relationship with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to obtain an income execution on a judgement that was vacated. This situation has caused me undo XXXX XXXX and XXXX ; XXXX XXXX and most importantly XXXX. This collection agency tried to become a creditor on my bankruptcy that was filed in XXXX and they had to be told again, that the balance was satisfied. This collection agency has been and continue to be unscrupulous in its collection process and I am tired of fighting their never ending collection efforts. This has becoming a collections nightmare.

This is going to be a second time I am complaining about this Collection agency that Acts as a Lawyer on behalf of Plaintiff. If the principal purpose of your firm or your law practice is collecting consumer debts, then you probably know this already, and you know that you are a debt collector under the statute. See, e.g., Scott v. Jones, 964 F.2d 314, 316 ( 4th Cir. 1992 ) Therefore as I requested multiple times not statements, not a contract but an " assignment of Debt '' or " bill of sale '' of this debt, I still never received. I have recently received a demand again for payments and threat to garnish my salary or freeze my accounts. In this light than, as youre already aware, since 2015, with the State Attorney General of New York and the Credit Reporting Agencies, all companies, data furnishers and debt collectors must abide by the new Metro-2 data format and must CERTIFY in their Universal Data Forms that all information being submitted is equivalent to a sworn declaration, or else you may be liable for perjury with substantial fines. Please provide to me what I have requested so that you are protected as am I.

I have attempted to work with the creditor in an attempt to pay back said debt. I have called numerous times, and when I call no-one is available to answer questions about my account nor do they ever call back. This creditor has been practicing illegal debt practices by using deception and reporting false information in an attempt to collect said debt. This creditor failed to send notification of any alleged missed payments prior to filing a wage garnishment proceeding. The account was in dispute due to this writer requesting account verification paperwork from creditor to verify the validity and amount of debt owed. Proper verification was never sent. In addition to that, they have falsified the amount that is owed and that has been paid. This writer settled on an amount of {$2700.00} to be paid to creditor, to date {$1900.00} has been paid, and the creditor has falsified documents to deceive the court that I have paid only {$1400.00}. I have attached payments from my bank statement for reference.

I received a letter from XXXX asking me to circle the disputed charges on the statements I had and return to them. I wrote back via trackable Priority Mail that I did not have any statements to do that to, as all of the statements attached to the complaint were empty of purchases.

I am beginning to suspect that XXXX has no records related to why I supposedly owe them $ XXXX.

The company is Rubin and Rothman recovery llaw firm in New York and the phone number is XXXX. They have called me repeatedly, left voicemails saying they will come to my house or work within certain time frames. I called back and an employee was extremely rude. They do have my information incorrect as I was going to discuss, but it was impossible due to the rude gesture of the employee named XXXX. I then spoke with XXXX who threatened me with court and said I was on a recorded line and would have my time in court. I do not know what this pertains to. I have not received anything from this company until these threatening calls started within the past week.

On XX/XX/2021 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, of Rubin & Rothman LLC posed as the attorney of XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX who engaged in misleading representation by filing a statement of small claim and notice without having prior consent to communicate with me the consumer in connection with a debt collection, a failure to comply pursuant to 12 CFR 1006.18 ( b ) ( 1 ) ( iii ) and 1006.6 ( b ).

Rubin & Rothman filed a law suit case against me on behalf of XXXX XXXX. They were using a scarring technic and advise me not to go to court and signed some paperwork, forced me to make monthly payments to them, not to XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. After a while I tried to validate the debt. This company doesn't have nothing besides the copies of statements. they refused to establish an ownership of the debt and didn't provide me with a copy of the retainer between their company and XXXX XXXX XXXX. So they illegally filed a law suit on behalf of the bank when in reality they must act as a collection company and validate the debt first.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I was advised by my employer 's legal department that Rubin and Rothman LLC mailed a subpoena requesting my salary information. The subpoena notes the creditor as XXXX XXXX. for a credit card account that was closed on XX/XX/2009. Thus the statute of limitation to collect for this debt has passed. I also received a letter from the XXXXXXXX XXXX office requesting payment 20 days after the mailing of XX/XX/XXXX. I can not afford an attorney, and I have never been issued a subpoena. I will greatly appreciate guidance on how to proceed. Thank you,

I dont have a sister and I didn't live at the address they allegedly served me. Its a Court Fraud .It is a violation of FDCPA and FCRA. they never provided me with " debt purchase contract '' or " debt assignment contract " .Its a robbery.

I purchased a vehicle in 2012. The vehicle was almost paid off, due to an injury I fell behind however I did begin to resume making the payments. I made an agreement with the debt collector for the amount of {$4500.00} of which {$2000.00} was paid. The creditor sold the loan without my knowledge and I sent payments to the original company. I was then sent a law suit letter stating I now owe {$10000.00}. I was not given any written notice that this loan/debt was sold and that payments should be sent to another company.
