In XX/XX/XXXX I recieved a Writ on my bank account for a judgment that was recieved by XXXX XXXX against me in XX/XX/XXXX. Unfortunantly the attorneys office at the time stated I was served with a court summons to be in court in XXXX and I never recieved notice thus a Default judgement was entered on me at that time. Fastforward to four years later and that was when the original Writ on my bank account was placed and I challenged it and had a court hearing. I never heard a thing from From the law offices of Frederic Weinberg and Associates whom is representing XXXX XXXX even during and after the first Writ was placed on my bank account. Then the day of the court hearing they did not notify me and released the Writ on my bank account. I thought I was a victim of Identity theft as I do not have any accounts with XXXX XXXX nor do I have any debt that I can attribute to be owned by them. Then two years go by and out of nowhere this year XX/XX/XXXX a Writ is placed to garnish my personal bank account declaring I owe XXXX and XXXX and prothonotary cost of XXXX. I requested an immediate hearing with XXXX Courts and I was granted one XX/XX/XXXX. Unfortunantely secondary to the COVID-19 pandemic the XXXX county courthouse closed down the day before my hearing. The hearing is now rescheduled into XXXX XXXX. At this time I have no way to access my bank account. I am a mother of XXXX children who just recieved my federal tax refund the week the writ was placed and I have no means to access anything for my children. I attempted to call the law office multiple times and only yesterday had communication with a dispicable person who treated me like I was dispensable did not even wish to help remedy this situation as I told him he was lying as they never contacted me about this prior to placing a Writ on my bank account. I never knew of XXXX XXXX in my life nor had I ever recieved calls from them prior to this attorney out of the blue obtaining a default judgment against me on the grounds of improper service. In XXXX I thought as it was released that it was gone. The person I spoke with yesterday at law offices of fredrick weinberg also said they placed a writ on my bank account last year which is flat out false. They are a disgrace. They should not be able to do this in the midst of a global pandemic. I need the money for my family to live and they have no right to do this to me and my family.

XXXX XXXX XXXX responded to a complaint filed by me on XX/XX/XXXX, due to never receiving any type of prior correspondence and my ability to dispute debt ; which is my right under the FDCPA. Instead of sending correspondence addressed to me at my Pennsylvania location, ( WHICH THEY DID NOT SEND ME ANY LETTERS ) a sheriff was used by XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX to intimidate me. They used a sheriff to deliver a lawsuit at my house. I absolutely DID NOT receive any correspondence on XX/XX/XXXX, as stated in their response to my complaint filed on XX/XX/XXXX. If I had received the XX/XX/XXXX correspondence, I would have disputed the debt, which I still dispute the debt to this day. Please provide proof with a copy of the certified letter with my signature on it, showing that I received the correspondence allegedly sent on XX/XX/XXXX. I am a XXXX veteran and do not work. I get the mail every day and HAVE NEVER received any correspondence from XXXX XXXX XXXX. Also, I HAVE NEVER received any phone calls with any messages left by XXXX XXXX XXXX, as allegedly stated in their response. Also, I absolutely DID NOT receive any correspondence on XX/XX/XXXX, as stated in their response to my complaint filed on XX/XX/XXXX. If I had received the correspondence the XX/XX/XXXX correspondence, I would have disputed the debt, which I still dispute the debt to this day. Please provide proof with a copy of the certified letter with my signature on it, showing that I received the correspondence allegedly sent on XX/XX/XXXX. Again, I am a XXXX veteran and do not work, and if I had received any type of correspondence from XXXX XXXX XXXX, I would have immediately disputed the debt, under my FDCPA rights.

On XX/XX/2018 I was served court documents from the County sheriff that I was being sued by XXXX XXXX XXXX. First, I am a XXXX veteran with XXXX XXXX XXXX. It is not appreciated that scare tactics, such as using a sheriff to deliver court documents because it resulted in me having a XXXX XXXX in front of my daughters. Second, I have NEVER received any correspondence from XXXX XXXX XXXX, a debt collection agency, nor have I NEVER received any phone calls from XXXX XXXX XXXX in regards to debt claimed owed. My rights under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act were violated, because I was NEVER given the opportunity to dispute the debt within 30 days to XXXX XXXX XXXX. If I was notified properly, I would have disputed the debt within the 30 day time frame and I was denied this right. In regards to alleged debt owed : 1. I have no contract/credit card agreement with my signature on it with XXXX XXXX XXXX and this proof needs to be provided. Provide documents with my signature on it. 2. provide ALL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to show the purchases I made through them, and the payments I sent directly to them. XXXX statements is legally insufficient. 3. Provide a bill of sale showing that XXXX XXXX XXXX paid the FULL amount of debt of {$5000.00} directly to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( not a charge off amount ), since XXXX XXXX XXXX is a debt junk buyer and is trying to get more money than what they paid for debt. I have also submitted a complaint to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and contacted a lawyer in XXXX for the violations they have committed under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act and for the emotional distress that was put on me because of their scare tactics used.

XXXX and XXXX continues to ignore my CFPB complaint requests for a copy of the certified mail letter receipt from XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, that shows I signed with my signature their debt letter for the amount allegedly owed. I HAVE NEVER received any correspondence from XXXX and XXXX and was never given the opportunity to dispute the debt within 30 days, which is my right under the FDCPA. Also, I HAVE NEVER received a phone call from XXXX and XXXX, and no messages were ever left on my phone, if they actually did call me. I dispute the debt, because I do not owe the amount of money allegedly owed. I have never been sent a copy of the credit card agreement or a copy of the contract with my signature specifically on them. I have never been sent a copy of the monthly statements that I actually bought items from XXXX XXXX XXXX and I have never been sent a proof of bill of sale from XXXX and XXXX, that specifically shows the exact amount owed. I continue to be harassed by XXXX and XXXX and do not want them communicating with me. I sent the package back to XXXX and XXXX because they continue to cause intentional infliction of emotional distress. I am a XXXX XXXX veteran and do not work. I have XXXX from the XXXX and their continued harassment of me is causing me to go to see my doctor for XXXX XXXX and increased XXXX XXXX because of them. A copy of all correspondence and complaints with the CFPB are being sent along with another complaint to the PA Attorney General 's Office.

The XXXXXX/XX/XXXX, in XXXX sent a " judgement letter '' to my home saying I owe " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' XXXX dollars. This was opened ( checked credit report ) in XXXX XXXX?? I never got or my parents, since they get the mail here, and I would have known about this card for XXXX XXXX XXXX. and why now the dispute or this case, which I have no knowledge of. They now put this report into my credit report?? as of yesterday, after I wrote the back and told them this account is NOT mine. and it was NOT in my credit report?? This account was opened in XXXX XXXX, Texas?? I lived in PA at that time. According to the report they added, this was taken out in XXXX of XXXX I did go to XXXX XXXX that year of XXXX and returned to PA in XXXX?? I have no idea who would open a card in my name. I lost my card there twice! ( in XXXX ) and my phone was stolen as well, and had to retrieve my social security card after I got back to PA. There is no way I could have opened up a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX?? Something I have no idea of. I need the law firm to investigate this since I do not own this card or ever have. I have also a credit card which was never used at a " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' opened as well?? ... which is not mine, and I never applied for this either. I believe I have been the victim of some stupid identity scam. I reported this dispute with the Credit report companies as a dispute? I know what and who I owe, but not this card or the other

I received a cal from a weinberg and associates lawyers office. They told me that I had until XXXX XXXX that day to pay them an amount of XXXX dollars or they would prosecute me with a several felonies and a warrant for my arrest would be issued that day. She also said that I signed documents saying that they could do this to me. I got scared and I paid the money. the first person I received the call from was in Georgia while the company that charged me was in Florida. This made me suspicious of the company so I called the original company who I received the loan from and they told me that they were unfamiliar with this company and the agreement I signed said nothing that about prosecuting me legally with felonies. He told me it would be just a small claims court and that is what they contract out to their third parties. I was afraid because this company told me that they had papers drawn up and were sending them to XXXX XXXX County court where I live to prosecute me for Check fraud. I still haven't called the third parties that the original debtor told me was handling my debts but this company collected XXXX from me with a scare tactic, and from what the original debtor told me that was illegal. The companies that the original debtor said is handling my cases were XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX.
