My name is XXXX XXXX and I am writing a complaint against the law firm of Slovin & Associates of XXXX, Ohio in regards to my student loan account which they purchased. I have repeatedly requested a written record of my account details including my remaining balance and the interest rate ( which I was told was 12 % ). I spoke with a woman named XXXX on several instances ( the last being XX/XX/2018 ) and was given verbal confirmation that my interest rate on a student loan was at 12 % .I expressed my concern at the absurdly high rate and she informed me that I could submit a letter for review requesting a lower rate. After a month had passed with no written letter containing the information I requested, I made another phone call on XX/XX/2018 and was connected to a man named XXXX. He told me that he was legally not allowed to send me any information on my account in writing. When I pressed him on this issue, he couldn't back up this statement with any fact and actually started to laugh at me the more questions I began to ask. When it comes time to pay this law firm every month ( which I have been ) they have no problem taking the money, but if I request information on the details of my account, they tell me it is illegal for them to do so. How is this legal? How is laughing at someone trying to get information acceptable? This is also the law firm that sued me and garnished my bank account of the only 2,200 plus dollars that I had to my name. I had no money to live on for months.

Slovin and associates XXXX based in Ohio is a debt collector that garnished my wages on XX/XX/XXXX from my employer. I contacted them and they informed me they had a judgement from XX/XX/XXXX. I told them I was not aware of any court dates and have never signed for any certified letters from them. They said they were collecting for XXXX XXXX from a account I had back in XX/XX/XXXX that was closed XX/XX/XXXX. The account was closed due to XXXX overcharging customers for overdrafts and there was a class action settlement in XX/XX/XXXX that I was part of regarding XXXX unlawful banking frivolous overcharges. I submitted the correct paperwork to be in the lawsuit that was finalized in XX/XX/XXXX. I called XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and told them about the debt collection agency putting a wage garnishment on my check and they said they never sold the debt to Slovin and associates they said XXXX XXXX XXXX bought the debt and XXXX XXXX went out of business and slovin and associates probably bought it from them. Slovin and associates said they don't buy debt and they are collecting for XXXX. XXXX said my checking account was part of the settlement and slovin and associates should not be collecting for XXXX since it was paid out in the settlement the balance should be XXXX for overdraft charges. I was part of the XXXX XXXX dollar lawsuit in XX/XX/XXXX. I submitted my info to the XXXX web site inXX/XX/XXXX.

I had a truck loan that was repossessed unlawfully. The company turned around and sold the truck for way under what the truck was worth but continue to bill me for the remainder of the loan which is predominantly interest as this is a subprime auto loan. I have an attorney and they were notified that I was filing bankruptcy so they hurried to file suit. I decided not to file bankruptcy very recently and was going to settle with the company but all of a sudden I have a garnishment on my paycheck for {$560.00}. I can not afford that payment amount and can not afford my bills now. I want to find out how much the loan company is ACTUALLY out from the truck without interest as I know it is not the {$6000.00} they are trying to charge me. The truck was never worth that amount. I was tricked by the dealership into even signing for this loan. XXXX and XXXX XXXX trick customers into loans they can not afford and then repossess and that is how they make their money. Slovin and Associates is who garnished my wages for XXXX. I need help with this company. I will pay what I myself caused, but not {$6000.00} to a greedy company making money off of customers who are desperate and easily tricked. This is unfair and deceptive. I want to settle on this and stop the garnishment.

I received a court document that I was being sued by Slovin and Associates on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, for the amount of {$4700.00}. There are 2 issues here in regards to them attempting to collect the incorrect amount. 1. Not only is the documentation that they filed with XXXX XXXX XXXX almost entirely redacted/obfuscated, there are four pages that appear to be identical. In Exhibit A of the attached file, on pages 12 through 15, they are all identical ; same " Current Account Balance, '' and " Amount 's, '' all totaling {$100.00}. This is an attempt to collect money from me that is not due and the documents they sent to me are false. 2. I have had health insurance for quite some time, and there is no way that the amount due was not covered by my insurance company. I have a low deductible on my insurance that would have covered that amount. But since all of the dates have been obfuscated, there is no way of confirming this with my insurance company, and there is no way I can protect myself against these charges.

I received notification of the debt at the end of XX/XX/XXXX. I emailed the attorneys as the notification demanded on XX/XX/XXXX requesting the explanation of the charges with documentation supporting the claim. I never received a response. The lawfirm sent another bill with claim codes blacked out. XX/XX/XXXX, I emailed again requesting the information for the bill and supporting documentation. I also called the law firm. I communicated in the email, I wished to settle the matter, but the charges did not add up and I needed the documentation. NO RESPONSE I emailed again on XX/XX/XXXX, requested the explanation of the charges. NO RESPONSE On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a motion for default judgement with the statement I have never contacted the lawfirm, even though I have the electronic proof. I called the office to have them explain. They stated they would send the required information to me. XX/XX/XXXX Motion for default judgement filed anyway, despite reporting complete lies.

I recieved a letter to avoid garnishment. I answered followed the directions and remitted payments. No one wants a garnishment. I never received an itemized bill. Dates of service or anything even showing me how or why I owed this debt I made XXXX dollars in payments and they got a garnishment for XXXX when the debt was only XXXX in the first place. I should only owe about XXXX dollars. They stated when I called today that I failed to answer if I made a payment in XXXX and XXXX how did I fail. I have receipts for these payments. All they did was lie and tell me I could avoid garnishment to obtain my employer information to garnish me. They just flat out lied. I mean I know its common practice to do what you have to but for a medical bill I obviously couldnt afford in the first place is just wow. I was also not told I could dispute the debt because, i was told pay or be garnished.

I have submitted a complaint about this company in the past ( XX/XX/2018 ), and ask them to stop contacting me. Also, I requested documentation not only by direct email,. but also through the county court requesting discovery ; they have failed to provide documentation to me in both cases. Now, they are trying to request money from me, again, stating that if I do not respond then I waive my right to a legal court hearing. This company is using illegal scare tactics and practices to get money they are not owed. This has cause my great mental and physical discomfort, and embarrassment.
