I recently received a court order against me that has placed a hold on my XXXX Account. XXXX XXXX XXXX, Bar # XXXX, and his law firm, Law Offices of Kenosian & Miele , LLP sought a money judgment against me on behalf of the Plaintiff, XXXX XXXX XXXX. The case number at issue is XXXX. The original judgment was entered on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, and his law firm, LAW OFFICES OF KENOSIAN & MIELE, LLP, renewed the judgment on XX/XX/XXXX. Mr. XXXX and his firm now have renewed the writ of execution on XX/XX/XXXX. They placed a levy on my XXXX XXXX bank account on XX/XX/XXXX. I previously notified Mr. XXXX and his firm orally and in writing that I am not the individual that is being sought and his firm previously confirmed this. The firm dropped collection efforts against me and I was assured that this would be the end of it. XXXX XXXX XXXX, Bar # XXXX, and his law firm, Law Offices of Kenosian & Miele, LLPs actions now constitute harassment. In XXXX XXXX, the firm issued a letter to me explaining that the firm was pursuing a civil suit against me on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX. I called the firm on XX/XX/XXXX, and explained that this is the second time I had received paperwork regarding this civil judgment. I gave them information about the previous collection attempt and verified my information and employment as a criminal investigator for the XXXX County District Attorneys Office. I was assured by the LAW OFFICES OF KENOSIAN & MIELE , LLP that I could disregard the letter and my information would be recorded on the file. The firm warranted that the previous collections nightmare I went through would not occur again. ( A different law firm, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, had attempted to collect a money judgment for XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX under the same case number. Eventually, they rectified the situation and issued a lien release when the firm confirmed that this was not the XXXX XXXX in question. XXXX XXXX XXXX, Bar # XXXX, and his law firm, Law Offices of Kenosian & Miele were given this information repeatedly. Mr. XXXX and the law firm did not cease collection action against me. On XX/XX/XXXX, a letter was received at my residence from the office that contained documents that had been filed with the Superior Court , County of XXXX, XXXX, Limited Civil. The paperwork showed a renewal of judgment which had been filed on XX/XX/XXXX, after the firms conversation with me. Again, I contacted Mr. XXXX and the law office and received my case number : XXXX. This time I took down the name of the person that I was directed to, as it had been evidenced that the firm would not cease the offensive tactics or remedy the situation. I left XXXX of the LAW OFFICES OF KENOSIAN & MIELE , LLP a voicemail that again explained the improper collection against my identity including my personal information, my employers information and contact information, and the previous collection agencys information. The firm ignored my call. When I called again and spoke with XXXX, I gave her my personal information, including my social security number and birthdate. XXXX, told me that she saw my previous call but the person who had entered the information had processed it wrong as to not stop the civil suit from moving forward. XXXX, told me that she was making corrections and to not worry about the Court Documents that I had received. I asked XXXX to provide me with a document that could be mailed to me to show that I was not the individual being sought. XXXX told me that no such document existed or could be created. She forwarded my call to her supervisor, XXXX, who again told me that they could not create or execute any sort of document showing that this debt did not belong to me, despite the fact that they were acknowledging I was not the person being sought. I attempted to reach the office, the LAW OFFICES OF KENOSIAN & MIELE , LLP directly. I left a message but never received a callback. I also wrote to the law firm identifying the chain of events and the problem. A levy was never issued on my identity and the collection efforts against me ceased. My concern was that this would happen again and the firm would not do anything to rectify this situation or that they would use the information provided during those calls. Now, in XX/XX/XXXX, Mr. XXXX has sought a levy upon my property under a writ of execution and Mr. XXXX has used my social security number. Previously, this debt and this case number was assigned to a XXXX XXXX with a different social security number and a different date of birth. Mr. XXXX has ignored my written and oral requests. Mr. XXXX has caused me great distress and now, financial cost. I have had to pay to retain a lawyer in this matter. Mr. XXXX needs to cure the firms violations of Californias Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and provide an effective curative letter detailing how Mr. XXXX has cured the matter. Mr. XXXX should immediately investigate as to whether these violations stem from an isolated incident or the policies and procedures of the law firm. I am providing documentation with this letter that supports the history of this collection process and Mr. XXXX and the legal firms deficiencies and unlawful actions.

In XX/XX/XXXX I borrowed money from XXXX XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, it was charged off to XXXX XXXX, not Kenosian & Miele , However Kenosian & Miele claim to represent XXXX XXXX in the XX/XX/XXXX court docs I acquired in XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX I was supposedly, served papers on a Saturday. I revived free legal counseling from an attorney, who is curentley now retired, when i sent an email of my court docs to her in XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. This is the conversation that took place. " Hello XXXX, I have attached a pdf of the court docs you requested, however there were no documents in the court system for document, '' Case Disposed with Disposition of Judgement uncontested. '' It showed, '' No Doc ''. Thanks, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Hi XXXX- I've had a chance to look at the documents again and the only issue I see is a factual one. That is whether XXXX XXXX did or did not come and hand deliver to you the small Claims paper on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX. That's a Saturday night. Do you have some way of proving you were not at home at that time and date or sound asleep? Its a long time ago. Maybe you have a calendar or diary to remind you what you were doing, or you worked night shift and were working or otherwise a long standing routine. See the proof of service attached. This XXXX XXXX has continued in the business and probably can be reached through the email address below. I suppose you could email her a copy of the attached proof of service and ask her if that's her signature. Its hard to think a woman ( who would have then been in her late XXXX ) would come so late at night to XXXX XXXX to serve a stranger with legal papers. The only real technical defect I see is that the process serving company that hired her, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX does not state its own company process server 's registration number on this paperwork, as required by law, and when I go to their website XXXX, I do not see any where that they have put a registration number anywhere, and perhaps don't have one like they should. The company is supposed to be the supervisor of the independent contractor XXXX XXXX and make sure she obeys the law. You could call the company XXXX and ask them if they have a process serving registration number and what it is. Be sure to make a note of the date and time of your communications with these people and the substance of the conversation. It doesn 't hurt if they refuse to tell you anything. Just make a note of it. " So I did what she suggested, I called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX 's ( XXXX ) -XXXX, but it's a fax number. I emailed XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. " Hello XXXX, My name is XXXX XXXX, and I was wondering if you can confirm for me that on or around XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX, on a Saturday XXXX, you hand delivered to me a small Claims paper regarding XXXX XXXX? Just trying to confirm. Thanks, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX She never replied! So, 8 months latter, i emailed her again. XXXX XXXX, My name is XXXX XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, I sent you an email with a Proof of Service from XX/XX/XXXX, attached. I would like for you to confirm that this is your signature on this Proof of Service? Thanks, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX I was never served any court papers regarding this judgement! The ONLY papers I received were AFTER the default judgement was granted, only because I didn't show up to court to defend myself, because I didn't know about it. A garnishment didn't start from Kenosian & Miele until XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX over {$900.00} was taken and then a bank levy of over {$1100.00} in XX/XX/XXXX and another bank levy in XX/XX/XXXX of or around {$200.00}. Now, let me say that it has been 8 YEARS, since this debt was owed! WAAAY past the statue of limitations in California of 4 years ( written agreement ), and 2 years ( verbal agreement ). By the way, I complained about XXXX XXXX already, to the CFPB, who sent me a letter stating that they have nothing to do with this levy? OK?, so where is the money going if there name is on the lawsuit letter that i receive after the levy has taken place? Thanks, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XXXX XXXX

XX/XX/XXXX - a creditor by the name of XXXX XXXX XXXX obtained a judgement against me. I was never notified of the lawsuit. Service was to an address I did not live at and the person named in service declares nothing was ever received by service for anything to do with me. XX/XX/XXXX - a different creditor by the name of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX assumed/bought the judgement and extended the judgement. Again, I was not notified. XX/XX/XXXX - Law firm Kenosian & Miele on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX filed for a writ of execution. Court documents show they sent service to our old address, even though a different collection agency, XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, with the same address as the law firm checked my credit twice and our current address had been reporting since XX/XX/XXXX. We have every reason to believe this was intentional The 2 bank inquiries on my credit report were the only 2 banks levied. XX/XX/XXXX - the creditor represented by the law firm Kenosian & Miele placed a levy on my joint bank account. Our first notification of ANY of this was a phone call from my bank on XX/XX/XXXX. They drained all accounts. XX/XX/XXXX - Judge released some of the funds on a claim of exemption. We also did further investigation into the debt which the agency claims the original creditor was XXXX XXXX XXXX. We contacted XXXX XXXX and they did a complete investigation. We received a letter from XXXX XXXX stating there was NEVER an account or application submitted to them for any accounts or credit cards in my name and social security number. We sent that to the attorney 's office and the response we received was they would need to discuss with their client first and they stated their client refuses to release the money being held by the Sheriff 's dept from the levy. They stated their client needs to perform their own investigation and they don't know how long it will take. Since none of our money has been returned thus far, we have been living off loans and cash advances which are incurring a large amount of interest. We have clearly provided evidence that this was never our debt and there were no legal grounds to sue on to begin with. Yet, they will not return phone calls and now claim they aren't receiving our messages. In more recent findings, XXXX XXXX XXXX is the original Plaintiff in the case. When XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX filed acknowledgement of assignment of judgement on XX/XX/XXXX, the documents that were provided to the court state XXXX XXXX, XXXX along with a signature dated XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX is a completely different company and was merged out and no longer existant as of XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX as the surviving entity. The documents signed were by XXXX XXXX, on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX was dissolved as of XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, was NEVER the owner of the account ( which never existed in the first place ). There is also documentation that XXXX XXXX XXXX is not the same as XXXX XXXX XXXX on the XXXX website. There is a letter stating that XXXX XXXX XXXX gave permission to XXXX XXXX , XXXX due to the name similarity. All documents from court files, proof from XXXX website, proof of address in XX/XX/XXXX from a background report we had to pay for, proof of XXXX executing 2 inquiries on my credit report, proof from XXXX XXXX that there was never an account.

Kenosian & Miele, LLP, the attorney for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, filed a judgement against me XXXX XXXX, XXXX for a {$3900.00} debt on a XXXX credit card that I never owned. They claim their process server, " under penalty of perjury '' I might add, served me with a Proof of Service Mon., XXXX XXXX, XXXX at XXXX to an address I did n't even live at. I have proof of all my addresses since I was XXXX years old on my secret security clearance paperwork to prove that. I was not even aware of this judgement against me back in XXXX until recently, when on Friday, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, my human resources representative emailed me a copy of an earnings withholding order that Kenosian & Miele, LLP managed to file against me. I immediately printed out the case report, went to XXXX County court and got a copy of the chief complaint and the proof of service. I also starting contacting as many attorneys as I could to help me with my case. I spoke with two representatives from XXXX who ran my social security number and found no such account in my name. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX falsified a Debtor 's Statement of Account and Payment History by attaching my name to the top of another consumer 's credit card statement and blackening out my address and account number. I assume that is how they got the judgment against me in XXXX. They have allowed six years to pass to accrue more interest to collect from me, without my knowledge. They also stole my social security number in XXXX XXXX to run my credit report to locate my current employer and serve me with the wage garnishment order. Speaking with various attorney 's, they advised me that the quickest way to stop a wage garnishment is A. File Bankruptcy or B. Submit a Claim of Exemption with the levying officer. They also said I needed to file a motion to move aside a default judgement, which would cost me a lot of money to have an attorney do. I filed the Claim of Exemption already. I 'm not filing bankruptcy and ruining my credit over the {$7200.00} they claim I owe, {$3000.00} of that would be accrued interest alone for the account in question. Vultures. I really do not understand how a legitimate law office can commit such fraudulent activities and not be disbarred. Oh, and I failed to mention NONE of this shows up on my credit report : No Public Records ; not in the collections section ; and there is no history of this XXXX account on my report anywhere. If this debt was legitimately mine, it would definitely be on my credit report. I feel that they prayed on me because I have one bad debt on my credit report from XXXX XXXX that was charged off in XXXX XXXX. I currently own a XXXX XXXX card and they were the company that financed my car. If I was truly in horrible standing with XXXX XXXX, they would have never approved me for credit the second time around. So, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. took the date from my XXXX XXXX debt to target me and file a judgement against me ; they falsified a Debtor 's Statement of Account and Payment History with my name on another consumer 's bad debt to collect years of accrued interest from me by serving me with a wage garnishment.

Was notified by mail about a debt that was sold to 3rd party collection agency claiming to be a law office. I was notified in XXXX 2017 by letter stating that they have made several attempts to reach out to me about the debt and that if they did not here back from me with in a certain amount of time they would be proceeding with legal actions. I have not received any calls, letters or anything about this. Never received any notifications that the supposed debt was being sold to a different company as well. When I called Kenosian and Milele, LLP they were very rude and unwilling to help me settle this. I asked for information about this debt and when they tried to notified me. I was told that they can not provide me with any information and that I had to settle this today or they would proceed with legal actions today. I asked for some type of settlement due to the large amount claimed being owed, they were still unwilling to help. I asked to make payments of {$50.00} a month and was told they can take anything less then {$120.00} a month. They use very harsh and threating words to try to collect the debt with out providing any information when requested Still unwilling to provide information about the debt I asked for something in writing about they payments be arranged and was told that their lawyers to do not provide anything like that in writing. So out of the fear of being sued I agreed to make payments that I could not afford. After making a payment, I was unable to make the next months payment. I called them before the payment date to notify them I was unable to make the payment. I was told that either I come up with the money today or that they will take me to court and garnish my wages to get the money and that either way they will get their money. I called the original creditor to see if I could get information about the debt they stated they no longer had the account and that it was sold to XXXX XXXX. I find this very suspicious because the letters I received mentions nothing about XXXX XXXX owning the debt. All notification I have received come from Kenosian & Miele LLp Attorneys at Law stating that the original creditor is XXXX XXXX and that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is there client. I done research on this Law office Kenosian and Miele, and they do unethical practices by illegally serving people wrong court date information and get a default judgement to garnish people wages or by illegally taking funds out of peoples account with out notification. I am afraid this is going to happen to me.

This letter is my formal dispute notice regarding XXXX cases that refers to the XXXX XXXX XXXX Acct ( XXXX ) back in XXXX. Plaintiff is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ll, XXXX and the Law Offices of XXXX and XXXX, XXXX. I am the defendant and a victim of Identity theft and fraud. As reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Levying XXXX. I responded to inform them that their information was completely inaccurate, fraudulent and a matter of identity theft. I requested that they return my earnest money that was levied. They took {$1500.00} which was garnished from my bank account, including the miscellaneous debit garnishment processing fee of {$100.00}. They have taken my time at the court house, the sheriff dept. and I had to research information which was extremely stressful. Not to mention the gas money to travel back and forth for weeks. I am not a lawyer! Therefore, I had to learn things and gather information and paper work that I am unfamiliar with. I still don't have an attorney. I demanded that they validate this information by providing me and the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. We have tried to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for proof of records and asked that the law firm that took over this case to substantiate this debt. The case was recently brought to my attention for the first time as of XX/XX/XXXX. On that day I received a letter of ( XXXX ) XXXX pages in the mail from the XXXX department in regards to this case. I have never received any summons or been served by the court in regards to this allegation prior to this month, XX/XX/XXXX. When I received this letter I went to the XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. in XXXX, CA. to inquire and receive a case file with ( XXXX ) XXXX pages of non-conclusive information, accusing me of an alleged debt with NO Authorized SIGNATURE of the acclaimed debt.

So XX/XX/XXXX I receive an email from my bank saying that they recently received the enclosed court order, which either enforces a legal judgment against me or secures a possible judgment in a lawsuit that's been filed against me from this collections agency called Kenosian & Miele. As a result, they are required to immediately place a hold on my XXXX XXXX account for a total of {$720.00}. I did a credit report right away to see what it was for and my credit history is clean, I have no collections showing. So I call them and they say It is from XXXX, an account that hasn't been used for over 14 years it doesn't even show on my credit report. They claim it hasn't been 10 years but I looked it up and it was filed on XX/XX/2013. And never once was I contacted in all these years. And from what I been researching, the statue of limitations has already expired. And these people already took the money out of my account. I have been reading reviews about these people and everything is negative, that they are a bunch of frauds. I don't think is fair what they are doing to people collecting on old debts that don't even show on your credit report.

A judgement was placed again me in California while I was living in Arizona. I was a victim of identity theft, and I had my purse taking. I have try to communicate with the company overseeing the account in collection. Today XXXX XXXX refused to send me a copy of the original debt claiming the company Kenosian & Miele LLp mailed it in the past. Not true I have never receive a copy of the originally debt in all my years of requesting it. I never had a contract with XXXX XXXX XXXX A New York Partner prior to finding out about this judgement. The company they represent has sent me a refund check. I only receive the copy of a California judgement. It very unfair and unconstitutional not to see the changes against me. By refusing my request and still insisting I pay while calculating accruing interest I am being treat unfair and unreasonable. When I make a complaint they go away for a while and a year or so come back. These debt collects should show the real debt is accurate and if its real and true. These lawyers learn how to take advantage or the consumer because they are financial bullies to the average low income consumers ....

I opened a credit card while in XXXX. I made the most payments I could under my federal work study program. The credit card company, I also moved around and got bills late. Finally when I got the bill they wanted the entire amount which I could not afford being that I was still a student. I moved around again, by the time I got the notice there was a default judgement. Wages were garnished for several years and the account was transferred several times to different attorneys. I finally made a settlement offer after loosing my job for the amount of XXXX that was paid with a cashier 's check from my bank and sent to XXXX XXXX XXXX and they agreed to it and cahsed the check. They never sent me a letter that the debt was settled after calling them several times and I was told by their representitive I owed them nothing. Almost seven years pass and now I am getting another debt collection from the offices of XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( Same case steming from the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ), and it continues to be passed around even after debt was settled.

I've attempted to settle a debt with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX, CA XXXX XXXX over the last several months. I've made reasonable settlement offers on a debt that was originally $ XXXX and is now increased to over $ XXXX. I've been speaking with their 3rd party collection agents at ( XXXX ) XXXX Kenosian & Miele XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX CA XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with collection agent XXXX XXXX who threatened immediate foreclosure on the property for non payment. Under 15 usc 1692e this is a clear violation of the FDCPA ( 4 ) The representation or implication that nonpayment of any debt will result in the arrest or imprisonment of any person or the seizure, garnishment, attachment, or sale of any property or wages of any person unless such action is lawful and the debt collector or creditor intends to take such action. I have recordings I can provide and I would like management at both XXXX and Kenosian to review their recordings for this violation.

On the second of XX/XX/2019 the law offices of XXXX XXXX XXXX sent a man claiming to be with the XXXX XXXX County courts. he showed me a printed ID with no picture saying he was with the county and said I was being sued. He gave me no paperwork and no original document that had a court date or anything else. I told him with out a picture ID that indeed looked like a valid County ID that he needed to leave. He got angry and upset and I told him to get off my property and not comeback. He was real close to me physically throwing off my property. I received another letter from this crooked attorney last week and called to explain the situation to them but all they want to do is demand money. All I have is my Social Security and Veterans Benefits. The law offices address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX., # XXXX XXXX XXXX. California, XXXX XXXX

My debt dates back to 2002. I was given the credit card through XXXX XXXX, then they decided to close my account with no explanation. I was not working and my boyfriend has gotten deported, my baby was hospitalized, and they did not want to work payments with me. I now have XXXX children, a single mother, on public assistance. The last time I worked they tried to do wage garnishment, they seized money from my XXXX XXXX account, Im afraid to leave money in the bank. This debt is very old, and is stressing me out. The balance has more than doubled and is outrages and unfair, and they have threstened to seize property i dont have because I am on XXXX XXXX XXXX, and they served me court papers throughout the past years harassing me. i cant even work because they want to garnish my wages and i have children to support.

XXXX XXXX XXXX bought a credit card balance of mine from XXXX from XXXXXXXX XXXX, the balance I defaulted on was less than {$1000.00}. I was told they bought a ghost account. Im not sure what that means. They attached my paychecks back XXXX for a total of {$6000.00} paid in full. That was the amount they said I owed. I assumed I had paid that debt in full 20 years later. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received another letter from them and a court judgment for another {$5200.00}. This came 3 years after I paid them {$6000.00}. They wont stop coming after me.

Good day! I received a letter 2 days ago about a debt collection from a law firm name " KENOSIAN & MIELE, LLP '' saying I owed {$8800.00} from their client XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. From the letter its saying Original Creditor is with XXXX XXXX. They are asking me to call them within 10 days to settle the balance that I do not owed otherwise they will be forced to send me a court order or legal action. First of all, I never had an account with XXXX XXXX. Second, The letter doesnt look legit, its just a piece of paper without any seal or anything on it. So Im thinking it could be a scam or phishing. I attached the letter on this report for your reference. Please help me report this and figure out whats the best action towards.

Kenosian & Miele LLP has been harassing me and my mother for months now. They 're trying to collect on a fraudulent debt that I did n't create. I 've sent letters to this company explaining the situation and sent the necessary proof. They 're still calling me at work and my mother even after she told them to stop calling her. They said I would go to jail if I did n't pay this debt. I refuse to pay a debt that I did n't apply for, sign for, or create. This company should be fined {$1000.00} for each time they harassed me.

I have been trying to get a very old debt settled for years and every time I attempt to start to pay they levy an account of mine. The last time was in XX/XX/XXXX, my account was levied and I never received notice so I was never able to contact them, they just did it. This account was dated back in XX/XX/XXXX and Then this levy pops up.

I was called out of the blue by a debt management company that came in possession of a loan that was pulled under my name. I thought it was a scam when they asked me to pay XXXX dollars to them to keep them from sueing. Now someone gave me papers saying I'm being sued for not paying off a loan i didn't pull.
