XXXX XXXX XXXX v. XXXX XXXX Account # : XXXX Payment to : Tenaglia & Hunt, attorneys for XXXX XXXX XXXX Contact Person : XXXX XXXX, XXXX-XXXX-XXXX x XXXX Confirmation # : XXXX Transaction Amount : {$1600.00} I am writing to you today in hopes that you could assist me with updating my credit reports. I am requesting deletion of this inaccurate data from my Credit History Report, but they have refused. The credit bureaus insist that XXXX XXXX XXXX is claiming the information to be accurately reported. This is not true, and I have attached documentation to prove otherwise. I have made multiple attempts to contact XXXX, XXXX and Tenaglia & Hunt to update the status of the XXXX XXXX XXXX account reporting on my credit report. After I dispute the item online, XXXX XXXX XXXX has reported the account to show a payment of {$1600.00} leaving a balance of {$610.00} on my credit report as owed. I am trying to get assistance with updating my credit files but the reporting companies are telling me to contact XXXX XXXX XXXX directly which I have done but have been on the run around. Heres what I was told : 1. XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX said they no longer have the account and I should contact XXXX XXXX & XXXX. However, that was old information as the account was then transferred to XXXX XXXX and I should contact XXXX XXXX at XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. After contacting XXXX, I was told the account was referred to Tenaglia & Hunt and thats how I reached Ms. XXXX XXXX. 2. Upon connecting with Ms. XXXX, she was excellent, and provided wonderful customer service during the process of creating this settlement agreement, as I was no longer able to afford to pay the entire balance due. We agreed to the settlement and it was executed on Wednesday, XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX, with my electronic payment through Tenaglia & Hunts website payment portal in the amount of {$1600.00}. This payment was made as a good faith effort to dismiss, settle the past due account in full and therefore dropping any potential lawsuits in the future, as per my conversation with XXXX XXXX from their NJ office location. After paying, Ms. XXXX informed me that it would take 14 days before I received documentation stating the account had been satisfied. 3. As Ms. XXXX stated, a few days later, I received a Settlement Agreement from the District Court of MD for XXXX County, Case # : XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX recording judgment as satisfied. 4. On XX/XX/XXXX, I mailed proof of my payment to XXXX, XXXX & XXXX with all receipts and correspondence, however, they said that XXXX XXXX XXXX has not confirmed that I have made a payment but a balance remains on the account. List of phone calls to rectify my information : 1. Telephone calls to Tenaglia & Hunt XXXX-XXXX-XXXX xXXXX Re : updating credit report with terms of Settlement Agreement from Tenaglia & Hunt representing XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX XXXX Voice mail XXXX XXXX xXXXX XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX XXXX Voice mail XXXX XXXX xXXXX XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX XXXX Voice mail XXXX XXXX xXXXX XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX XXXX Voice mail XXXX XXXX xXXXX XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX XXXX Voice mail XXXX XXXX xXXXX XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX XXXX Voice mail XXXX XXXX xXXXX XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX XXXX Voice mail XXXX XXXX xXXXX XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX XXXX Voice mail XXXX XXXX xXXXX XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX XXXX Voice mail XXXX XXXX xXXXX XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX XXXX Voice mail XXXX XXXX xXXXX 2.

On XX/XX/XXXX I was served with a summons for XXXX County NJ Civil Division. Docket Number XXXX from XXXX XXXX, Attorney from Debt Collection Law Firm, Tenaglia & Hunt, P.A. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, DE XXXX www.tenagliahunt.com The Summons reveal False Information and Deceptive Collection Practices 1. On the summons she reports that complaint against me was started in XX/XX/XXXX ; however a summons/copy of complaint was not sent to me. I was first made aware of collection efforts on XX/XX/XXXX. I should have been notified of complaint in XX/XX/XXXX this was a very deceptive practice on part of this debt collection firm. 2. In Summons she reported that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was the originator of the student loan and that is incorrect. The originator of the student loan is now a defunct student loan company as of XXXX and was identified as a predatory student loan company. Loan originally was for XXXX and now ballooned to XXXX. Debt Originated in XX/XX/XXXX for {$28000.00} 3. In Summons she alleges that I had no intention of paying debt and made no efforts to do so. That is not true I used an attorney to make attempts to settle in XXXX and XXXX declined the offers and did not provide a counteroffer. In XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX placed my account in Charge Off as bad debt profit and loss write off. XXXX made no attempts to settle with me directly or through the attorney office that represented me. 4. In the summons sent to me XXXX XXXX wrote that the Sheriff office may seize my money, wages, property to pay all or part of judgement. Under First Count Section of Summons/Complaint Item 4 is false : " ... of which no part has been paid although repeated demands for same have been made and often refused. '' I have proof which I will attach that show several months about a year of efforts on behalf of my attorney to make a payment arrangement with student loan company, XXXX, and offers were rejected and no counter offer made. Under Second Count Section of Summons/Complaint Item 2 is false " ... Defendant was duly issued and received statements of Account, which set forth in detail all charges incurred on the Account and the total amount due and owing by Defendant theron. '' I have not received that and just asked for it today and it is enroute to me via mail NOW. Items 3 is false '' ... Defendant received the statements of Account without protest and did not object to them nor indicate that they were erroneous in any respect. Defendant thereby acknowledge that the debt owed, as set forth in statements of account is true and correct. '' THAT IS 100 PERCENT FALSE I SOUGHT TO SETTLE WITH LENDKEY BECAUSE THE DEBT BALLOONED OUT OF PROPORTION. I WAS A VICTIM OF PREDATORY LENDING ALTHOUGH I ACKNOWLEDGE TAKING OUT XXXX IN XXXX, I DID NOT AGREE WITH THE XXXX IN INTEREST AND FEES DECEPTIVELY ADDED OVER THE YEAR AND WANTED TO SETTLE. Under Third Count Item 2 is false " Plaintiff loaned money and extended credit and conferred a benefit on Defendant, but has not been paid to date. '' XXXX has not loaned me money, I consolidated my loan which originated from XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX a defunct predatory student loan company loaned me XXXX in XXXX and XXXX is profiting off of fees and interest from this Private Student Loan. XXXX has not extended money, credit, or any benefits to me. I have made so many attempts to settle with XXXX however XXXX and this Debt Collection agency is trying to " squeeze money out of me '' which they didn't originate for their own profit. Which is an apparent scheme. https : XXXX

XXXX XXXX charged off my revolving credit account, they sold it to a third-party debt collector without seeking my consent. This is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ), which mandates that lenders must notify consumers before any negative information relating to their credit account is reported to a credit reporting agency. In addition, under 12 CFR 1026.41 ( e ) ( 1 ), an issuer of open-end consumer credit shall not sell or transfer a consumer charge account to a person other than the issuer, its affiliate, or an acquirer of the issuer, without disclosing to the cardholder, among other things, the identity of the person to whom the account is to be sold and the fact that the account may be sold. Moreover, selling my debt to a third-party debt collector has also led to the unauthorized disclosure of my private information, such as my name, social security number, and other personal information. This violates the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ) under 15 USC 6802 ( a ), which prohibits financial institutions from sharing nonpublic personal information with non-affiliated third parties without first giving the consumer an opportunity to opt-out of such sharing. Furthermore, under 1.6050P-1 of the CFR, a charge off must be reported to the IRS.despite repeated requests, the company has refused to provide me with the 1099c necessary to file with the IRS.The situation is worrisome as charge-offs are considered income and must be reported to the IRS. The refusal of XXXX to provide me with the 1099c document may prevent me from fulfilling my tax obligations. Also INCOME can not be report on my consumer credit report under the FRCA it is not relevant to a persons credit worthiness. and XXXX is in violation of reporting inaccurate information. XXXX has not followed this regulation properly, and as a result, the credit reporting agencies and the IRS might not accurately reflect my credit and tax status. XXXX XXXX also unlawfully shared my personal information with third parties such as XXXX and XXXX without my consent. This action by XXXX XXXX violates consumer protection laws enforced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) .According to the Code of Federal Regulations ( CFR ), 12 CFR 1022.43 prohibits financial institutions from disclosing non-public personal information about a consumer to non-affiliated third parties unless the consumer is notified of the disclosure and has had an opportunity to opt-out. Additionally, the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681d, requires that consumer reporting agencies only furnish consumer reports to those with a permissible purpose and with the consumer 's consent.In this case, I did not consent to XXXX XXXX sharing my personal information with XXXX and XXXX. As a result, my non-public personal information was disclosed without my knowledge, and I have not had the opportunity to opt-out.In light of the above violations, I respectfully request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigates this matter and takes appropriate actions against XXXX I also request that the CFPB takes steps to ensure that my personal private information is protected from unauthorized parties.

This is what is occurring to me right now XX/XX/XXXX Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, I just received a wage garnishment from XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX Apparently, I was sued by them on XX/XX/XXXX. I was unaware of this until yesterday. I was never served or received anything regarding this lawsuit in XXXX. This was intentional, as they don't want you showing up to a lawsuit that is fraudulent/frivolous. I do not recall having a XXXX account in the previous 10 years. If anything, they were time-barred from filing a lawsuit. This is the reason they didn't want me to be aware of it. At the same time, this was said to me being served. My partner was being sued by XXXX. We were served XXXX 's paper with no problem. I find it hard to believe XXXX couldn't find us. That's because they never tried. I pulled all three of my credit reports. There is no account from XXXX or XXXX and XXXX XXXX Not even under any collection agency of any name, for XXXX XXXX The judgment occurred in XX/XX/XXXX. I have been working for my employer since XXXX. Last Friday was the first I heard of wage garnishment. This last Friday they over garnished my pay. The amount in the state of Delaware they could have legally taken was {$29.00}. Instead, they took {$110.00}. I havent figured out why they are taking XXXX XXXX more than they should be. The first time I heard of this was XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX who issued a paycheck from my employer, mailed me a letter stating they were going to garnish my next paycheck. The sealed envelope clearly states that this is a wage garnishment This way my neighbors who get the mail for me and my postman can be made aware of my wage garnishment before I am even aware of it. Of course, nothing surprises me about this illegal transaction. I feel this wage garnishment was intentionally started and I was notified of it on a holiday weekend. The reason being I am unable to get in contact with an attorney, due to the holiday. I am aware the XXXX of XXXX holiday is a long one for most people. I have maybe 10 days to file something with the courts. Of course, they are closed as well. Ive got to give XXXX credit on a well-thought-out scam. Think of how many people will be scammed out of money. The amount I was sued for was {$2000.00} in the court of common pleas, XXXX XXXX, Delaware. PS. Do I have proof of everything I just stated? You bet I do. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, DE XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

In XXXX I received a collections letter from Tenaglia and Hunt regarding a credit card debt to XXXXXXXX XXXX which I do not believe I owe and replied requesting validation. I received a response which I do not beleive meets the requirements for debt validation under New York or federal law and replied specifically requesting the following : a copy of the original signed credit agreement or application, transaction summaries showing how and when the amount they claim I owed was calculated, proof that Tenaglia and Hunt was authorized to collect the alleged debt on behalf of XXXXXXXX XXXX, and proof that Tenaglia and Hunt is licensed to operate as a debt collector in XXXX XXXX XXXX I received no further communication from XXXX or Tenaglia and Hunt for several years which I took as a tacit acknowledgment that they were unable to validate the alleged debt. On XX/XX/XXXX I received notice that Tenaglia and Hunt was seeking default judgement in a lawsuit they claim to have filed against me in XX/XX/XXXX. I was never served with this lawsuit and had no knowledge of its existence prior to receiving this notice. Per documents filed with the court the initial complaint was served to a third party identified only as " XXXXXXXX XXXX ( name refused ) - co resident '' ( I live alone and have no idea who this could be referring to ) and the complaint was sent by mail to an incomplete address. Documents also show that an additional notice was sent to the same incomplete address and returned as undeliverable by the postal service. I made multiple attempts to contact the attorney of record ( XXXX XXXX ) by phone but the number provided for him in a filing is directed to one of several non-attorney collections who immediately start talking over me or disconnect the call when I raise any of the following issues : The alleged debt was never validated, Tenaglia and Hunt knew or should have known that the original complaint was not properly served, by the time I became aware of the lawsuit the alleged debt ( if valid ) was time barred, all XXXX Credit Card agreements include a mandatory arbitration clause and even if the alleged debt is valid the lawsuit is improper as the matter should have been pursued in arbitration.

XXXX/XXXX shared my personal information with debt collectors TENAGLIA & HUNT who filed a lawsuit on XXXX/XXXX behalf. Pursuant to 31 USC 3718, " Under conditions the head of an executive, judicial, or legislative agency considers appropriate, the head of the agency may enter into a contract with a person for collection service to recover indebtedness owed, or to locate or recover assets of, the United States Government. The head of an agency may not enter into a contract under the preceding sentence to locate or recover assets of the United States held by a State government or financial institution unless that agency has established procedures approved by the Secretary of the Treasury to identify and recover such assets. '' and as such, I have yet to receive proper proof from XXXX/XXXX or TENAGLIA & HUNT that approval to collect on the alleged debt was approved in accordance to the UNITED STATES code listed above. Pursuant to 18 USC 1028A ( a ), " Whoever, during and in relation to any felony violation enumerated in subsection ( c ), knowingly transfers, possesses, or uses, without lawful authority, a means of identification of another person shall, in addition to the punishment provided for such felony, be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of 2 years. '' and as such, XXXX/XXXX knowingly transferred my personal information without my lawful authority to debt collectors TENAGLIA & HUNT and debt collectors TENAGLIA & HUNT obtained and is in possession of my personal information without my lawful authority and has used such information and illegally attempted to collect an alleged debt.

In XX/XX/XXXX, I received 2 small loans from XXXX, totaling about {$1000.00}. After 12 successful payments made on my account, I began to miss payments which caused my account to become delinquent. On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX emailed me via the email XXXX stating as much. I immediately reached out to find out what was going on. I was informed & verified by logging into my account that I did owe a balance of {$450.00} which I paid in full over the phone via credit card. The woman I spoke with assured me she was an employee of XXXX. When a charge to my card showed up on my bank statement on XX/XX/XXXX ( and cleared on XX/XX/XXXX ) it was not from XXXX but from a law office -- XXXX XXXX XXXX. I again reached out to XXXX to see what was going on, at this time I was informed that my account had been transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX for collections and they had the {$450.00}, not XXXX. I was informed, in writing, that XXXX would consider my account current contingent on XXXX XXXX XXXX remitting my payment back to XXXX though was given no timeline as to when that would happen. In the meantime, I continue to receive calls from XXXX XXXX XXXX as well as a second collections agency -- XXXX -- both attempting to collect on this debt.

TENGALIA & HUNT used deceptive practices and false information to get the CFPB to close a previous complaint without a resolution. They claim they are legal representation of the original creditor but failed to send me any documentation of such. They only sent me a letter saying they're a debt collector regarding the account. The CFPB did not require them to provide written documentation to provide they advised me they are representing the original creditor in the ongoing legal matter with the original creditor. If they are, in fact, the legal representation of the original creditor they sent me a letter stating they are a " debt collector '' dated XXXX XXXX about the account and alleged debt and made no mention as legal representation. They failed to send a legal response to the Affidavit of Truth sent to the original creditor on XXXX XXXX nor the Affidavit Non Response notice dated XXXX XXXX. So in fact, they are a debt collector as I have no written proof from TENGALIA & HUNT stating otherwise. I am requesting the Ombudsman office handle this complaint and DO NOT CLOSE IT STATING IT WAS PREVIOUSLY RESOLVED. THE ISSUE IS ONGOING AND NOT PREVIOUSLY RESOLVED BY THE CFPB.

Since XX/XX/2020, I have been trying to obtain the outstanding balance of a debt that is in collection, so that I can pay it in full and have wage garnishment stopped. Due to the pandemic I will most likely be out of employment so I'm trying to resolve this debt for good. I contacted the firm to get a settlement amount and was advised that it was not an option and that I had to pay the current amount owed in full. This law firm has not returned emails sent to them on XX/XX/2020, and XX/XX/2020. I have made calls on a almost daily basis. When they call me back they do not leave a message, or if I pick up the call drops. When I go on their website to find out my payment history from the wage garnishment, it does not show payments credited to the account or the outstanding balance on the account.
