I attempted to contact Law office of Edwin Parry in XXXX and then again in XXXX. I am attaching what they responded. Prior to that I had called and asked to work out a payment plan. The representative wasn't abusive but was rude and did not try and answer my questions. I asked what the next step was and she did not respond or address it. When I emailed, I asked them to listen to the call ... no response. I sent a second response in XXXX and all they responded after that, is that they don't communicate through email. No phone call to me. I feel I attempted to resolve it and they have not done their part at all. Here is the email : XXXX To : XXXX Our office does not correspond via email. Please contact our office at XXXX.

From : XXXX XXXX XXXX Sent : Thursday, XX/XX/2020 XXXX XXXX To : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Subject : Fwd : XXXX XXXX A month has gone by and zero follow up from you or your office. I guess I should not be surprised by your representatives unwillingness to resolve this matter. Sent from my XXXX Begin forwarded message : From : XXXX Date : XX/XX/2020 at XXXX XXXX MDT To : " XXXX '' XXXX Subject : XXXX XXXX Good morning, I have tried to contact your office and work out a plan but the only option of 7 months is not feasible for me or my son. He is an adult but is unemployed at this time. He did give me authorization and I have offered to assist him but its impossible to speak in a civil manner with your representatives. I encourage you to listen to the recorded call. I have requested to know what the next step is if my son, XXXX XXXX, is unable to meet the 7 month payment plan requirement. The representative said she didnt know. You are required to let me know what the next step is and she should know what are the possible outcomes, yet offered no advice or information. All she told me is she didnt know what resources my son has. Clearly Im not asking about his resources. I want to know what is the next step if he is unable to pay this. I would appreciate some information from someone who is willing to communicate. If that is possible, please contact me at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Thank you! XXXX XXXX Sent from Mail for XXXX XXXX
01/06/2017	Yes	Debt collection Medical	False statements or representation Attempted to collect wrong amount	UT XXXXX	Web
I received a summons from XXXX XXXX XXXX the attorney for XXXX XXXX XXXX in regards to an outstanding medical debt of {$77.00}. The summons stated that with collection and attorney fees, I owed {$350.00}. When I called the office of Edwin B Parry today, XXXX/XXXX/17, to discuss settling the matter prior to judgment, I was told by XXXX that to halt the judgment the full balance had to be paid today. The amount XXXX said had to be paid to halt the judgment was over {$400.00}. I was driving at the time so was unable to write down the exact amount but the amount he said would be required to halt the judgment was well over the amount listed in the summons. I stated that amount was more than 4 times the amount of the outstanding medical debt. I asked if the amount could be settled on and was told no. XXXX also stated that payment had to be made today to halt judgment. I stated that I would n't be able to remit payment until the XXXX and XXXX told me that if payment was n't made today the judgment would be submitted. I again stated that I would n't be able to remit payment for 2 weeks, and asked if he was unable to accept the arrangement if that was n't someone there who could. I was placed on hold and when XXXX returned he stated that he could n't accept an arrangement because I 'd refused information on the call. When I stated that I had n't refused to provide anything I 'd simply stated what my intention of calling was when he 'd answered the call 5 minutes prior. I stated that if he 's telling me that I ca n't work out a payment arrangement because of a question he 'd asked over 5 minutes ago that seemed pretty catty. I told him that if additional information is required to work out an arrangement is required, then I can simply provide that information. XXXX stated that this call was n't going anywhere and disconnected the call. I called back and asked to speak to someone else where I was transferred to someone 's voicemail, and have yet to receive a returned phone call. The amount that XXXX demanded to halt legal action was inconsistent with the amount listed on the summons and legal action was threatened if that amount was n't paid in full today. This is deceptive and abusive.

I was served papers for a RECENT debt from XXXX XXXX, ( ie XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, shortly after disputing it with a credit reporting agency. In order to verify this debt I need the itemization and PROOF that the debt is in fact valid. Many of these debts are too recent for the paperwork to have processed due to the slowing down of IRS paperwork, by the coronavirus. Getting the information is the only way I can properly reply. On XXXX, their hours are Monday-Friday and Saturday XXXX to XXXX XXXX. When I showed up at XXXX on Saturday, I discovered that XXXX XXXX XXXX is in the same building as XXXX XXXX XXXX. But XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX isnt posted on the door anywhere ... I walked around looking for a separate door :,, nothing. Furthermore, when I called because the front desk area wasnt open, I was told that law office of XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX was open just on the other side of the door, she had the paperwork, but she wouldnt give me the papers because the receptionist was their client, express recovery services ... and they werent open. I was upset about this and am now delayed further as I dont have a car to drive there all the time. Im an unemployed individual living through this pandemic. A lawsuit on recent unresolved debts, currently in dispute, is anything but compassionate and should be a crime. I told them this to which I was told everything is moving forward, businesses are still running and the world is moving forward. I am not able to be employed as I am on the CDC list of vulnerable populations right now. But yet here I am, at the ( law office? ) thats suing me, miles from home, outside, begging for proof of a recent debt, during open hours, so I can reply to a summons. Shame on this law office, and Im certain their relationship with XXXX XXXX is brushing too close to whats considered legal.

I am on XXXX and social security only and was garnished from my checking account money that had been gifted me to pay rent in the amount of XXXX and now they are trying to do this again. I called and checked on the debts they were garnishing for and was told I had a XXXX balance. When I called and talked to the attorney 's office, they said they were collecting for interest and fees over the past 4 plus years owed just to them, even though the debt was paid off. They did not care if I was not employed and on XXXX or social security. They are now threatening to do this to me and again I found out the debts were at a XXXX balance, and I had paid them off. One being a medical bill to XXXX XXXX for XXXX account number XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of XXXX. Attorney Edwin B Parry is now charging XXXX in interest and XXXX in interest. bring the total to XXXX. XXXX The other is XXXX XXXX acct # XXXX the amount of XXXX as of XX/XX/XXXX. I was told by XXXX this debt was paid off by a security deposit and at a XXXX balance. I am now being charged interest on this as well bringing the total to XXXX. When I try to discuss this with Attorney XXXX XXXX office, they are rude, and basically call me a liar and low life, one particular man by the name of XXXX repeatedly hung up on me and would not let me even talk.and then blocked my number so I could not get through to the office. This is the office in which I feel I was harassed and garnished. The Law Office of Edwin B. Parry XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Utah XXXX XXXX

I received a letter from the Law Office of edwin perry. This letter said I owed a debt and so I called the office to figure out what this was about. I recieved this letter XX/XX/2021 XXXX I spoke to a XXXX ( something like that ) and told him that the debt wasn't mine on XX/XX/2021. I needed proof so I could look at it. XXXX asked me a bunch of times if I was an attorney and than transferred me to the voice mail of Mr. XXXX. On the message to Mr. XXXX, I told him that it wasn't me and that I would like proof of debt so I could clear it up. He has not responded. I received a call from an " attorney '' named XXXX on XX/XX/2021. I told him that I would like proof about the debt since it wasn't me. I am not from the State of Utah so I asked Mr. XXXX if he could supply me with proof. He than told me that he couldn't give me legal advice, he said this a bunch of times. After not supplying me with any information, Mr. XXXX " attorney '' told me that he was going to take me to court. I believe the tactics used by the Law Office of edwin b perry, is meant to oppress and take advantage of people just to make money. I would look into this office and make sure their so called " attorneys '' are actually that.

I had a payment plan worked out with the debt collector, the Law Offices of Edwin Perry. I was to pay {$75.00} a month for 10 months beginning XX/XX/XXXX. When I set up the arrangement I let the person who called know that my husband is in XXXX and at the time we had not yet been approved for SSI, so we did not have any income coming in because I couldnt find work due to Covid and we were waiting for our tax returns. He called today to let me know I missed my payment date and I told him I hadnt received my taxes yet but my husbands SSI check would be here on the XXXX XXXX so if we could change the payment date to the XXXX I could make that payment. He told me since the payment was missed he couldnt change the date and they would now have to proceed with legal means. I think its absurd they are not willing to work with people, especially during the pandemic. I didnt refuse to pay, I just simply told them the day I would be able to pay

As stated before the judge back in 2014, my only source of income has been SSI/SSDI. I have a permanent XXXX and have been on SSI/SSDI for over 10 years. I have not received any signed orders by a judge showing this debt has been extended passed the Utah state statute of limitations. Additionally you all are requesting employment information from DWS. And DWS I am on state XXXX as well and I am not employed. This judgment should have been vacated. Furthermore, your law firm has sent notices threatening documentation to obtain records of my income which is social security XXXX income which you do not have authority to retrieve these documents from the Social Security administration or through DWS. Your law firm has been aware that I am XXXX and my only source of income is SSI/SSDI yet continue to violate the law indirectly.

My daughter received a debt collections notice on XX/XX/2019. We paid another debt with this same company in XXXX of XXXX. We believe they are trying to charge us with this debt twice as the new debt they say we owe is from XXXX. why was it not included in the medical debt we paid in XXXX of XXXX as they say it was from the same provider. Edwin Perry law firm said we had to respond in 10 days. We sent them invoices showing we paid and they got back to us on XX/XX/XXXX at approximately XXXX XXXX saying if we paid today it would be XXXX. The bill in question is for XXXX If we did not they were going to file a lawsuit with the court and it would be minimum of XXXX. It does not seem fair they can give us 4 hours notice to review the information to avoid an extra XXXX charge.

XXXX XXXX repeatedly has shown up to my work, 2 or 3 times in one day. He calls my work 2 or 3 times in one given day. HE has repeatedly called my cell phone. I have since blocked his number so I no longer receive notification of his calls. He had shown up and called my work so many times my office manager told him I no longer worked there in order to get him to stop harassing me at work! Most the time I was not even working and he would continue to call! It is has gotten so sever, I am scared every time I leave any place, business, or any where. I am scared to leave that he is following me and that he will cause a scene. I am a single mother of XXXX kids and this man will not leave me alone!

I started getting garnishment for a debt from 7 years ago that I would not remember anything about, I wish these debt lawyers would try to contact costumers before just out of the blue start garnishment especially if its a debt you dont even know you owe. I dont see it on my credit report so how would someone know. Now there garnishment with interest so now Im paying triple the amount, this should be illegal and not to mention its a pandemic so its a struggle right now just to eat. Talk about taking advantage during this pandemic that shows a lot about this company!! Shame on them

Edwin Parry law office REFUSES to accept any payment unless I provide them with far too much information. All they should need to accept payment is confirmation of who I am and a valid debit card number. They refuse to allow me to pay unless I provide them with all of my information. Including my place of employment. The moment they receive my information they will start garnishing my wages, rather than allowing me to make a payment plan. The lady on the phone was extremely rude and hung up on me.

When discussing with original creditor they've advised debt is with a different company. This law office is not mentioned they also will not work to set up payment arrangements advising they will continue to send to courts. Balances also don't match what insurance shows in XXXX. Original creditor has also failed to bill to secondary insurance that was available at the time of some ofbthe services. They also failed to offer any realistic payment options.

XXXX XXXX filed a motion and received a judgment for debt that was not mine. Debt in question was incurred by ex spouse long after divorce was finalized. Total of {$910.00} was garnished from my wages through employer. This debt shows as " resolved '' on their end, but only because the debt was satisfied, but because the garnished the wages from the wrong person.
