  I received a stack of letters all at once saying I owe roughly $12,000.00, never once have I gotten anything regarding this and now I have to pay it all at once. I’m pissed off and don’t have the money to do it. I need an explanation on why this happened and what it is related to.

  I am pissed the F off! I am sick and tired of companies like this one, I simply called today around 9 am CST to set up a payment plan. This company JUST received my debt but is telling me if I don’t pull out a loan on my house or prove that I don’t qualify for any loans THEY WILL NOT SET UP A PAYMENT PLAN!!!! First of all I will not be doing any of that I IMMEDIATELY WANT A PAYMENT PLAN! I have no friends or family, I work a 16 dollar an hour job starting in January WHICH I WILL HAPPILY PROVIDE! That is the only option I will do, resolution is to create a 160 dollar payment plan or nothing at all. Unprofessional and disgusting company! I owe “5,000” only because you taxed the original debt which was 4,000. Again the ONLY resolution will be a payment plan NOTHING else. Thank you

  I received a collection notice from Coast Professional. Note: I have not been referred to a collection agency in over 45 years - last time I was contacted by a collection agency, I was a teenager so this came as quite a shock to me and I KNEW it was a mistake. I have a perfect credit rating. To say I was upset is an understatement. I called and spoke to Marty R****** ** **** (if that's even a real name/person), I told him I needed an email address to send a letter prepared by my CPA/Accountant providing proof that I DO NOT OWE the debt. R****** told me he would provide me with the email address, but first he needed to verify my identity. I played along thinking at the end he'd give me the email address and it would be resolved. After THIRTY minutes (hold time, being transfered all around, being "verified"), he told me that they don't accept email documentation. Told him that I don't have a car or a printer and he told me "too bad". So his "verifying" me was a huge scam just to make sure they had all my correct information so they can file a lien against me or my home if it's not resolved. He never had any intention of helping me. Meantime, the debt is accruing interest and I continue to receive NASTY accusatory letters. This is the year 2023 --- every business in the WORLD accepts emails. Obviously, this business is taking advantage of low income persons -- that can't afford printers, cars, etc. I also do not want to incur any further expenses from my CPA by asking him to correspond with this "company". I can't afford to pay his fees to rectify this. I already had to pay him to write the letter w/documentation. he emailed it to me and I need to FORWARD it to the company. This has been going on for a month now, heading into the holidays with this hanging over my head and incurring interest daily----all because they want to make it as difficult as possible for people to rectify false charges.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  
  The business did not resolve the issue...it's a cut and paste template response.   The company is refusing to accept my Accountant/CPAs information that would resolve the issue so that they can continue to charge me interest, file liens against me, and ultimately ruin my credit and my life.   Coastal says it's not allowed to correspond via: email---but offers no statute, federal rule, regulation or other legal citation.  I believe they just made that up so they can continue dragging this out for as long as possible. Again, they offer me fax or mail. AGAIN, I DO NOT HAVE A PRINTER.  the letter provided by my CPA/Accountant was snet to me via: email.  I need to FORWARD it to the business.  I can't afford to have this handled by my accountant.  It could be very easily resolved --- if Coastal wanted to resolve it.   They do not.    The letter states that they reviewed the call, and LIED saying that there was no problem....I ASKED THE FIRST MINUTE OF THE CALL for the email address and the representative told me that he was going to provide it to me, but first he had to "verify" my information.  The verification process went on for 10 minutes while the collection agency took ALL my informaiton so they could harass me with letters and calls and be able to lien my property if it's not resolved or whatever else.  I was SCAMMED on the call.  it's not that BIG of a deal.  it's email.  I can encrypt it---just like TONS of banks, credit card companies and the IRS does.

  Coast professionals incorporated sent collection letters to a state I have not been in for 10 years, they submitted to the IRS to garnish my wages without notification. Once contacted they sent me updated letters stating I need to respond to them by 11/02/2023. I received notification on 10/27/2023 wages would be garnished. I called them and they argued that is not the date on the letter, I sent them email confirmation and they stated well there is nothing they can do.

  Hello,
  I received a debt collection letter from Coast Professional Inc. and it says I owe the ********** ** *** ******** However, when I contacted the *** they said they had no record of the debt, debt with my information, the reference number on the letter or an account that was sent to collections. According to the letter received, I had to contact Coast Professional. This is the second notification of collections; a initial letter was recieved a year ago. I contacted Coastal Professional when the first letter was received and a request for debt information was submitted. I was informed I would receive the requested information in 30 days. I have yet to receive any information since the request, until a year later (today) another letter for collection of debt owed was again received. I have requested the name and address of the original creditor when contacted and spoke to a live representative on the initial notification. Coastal Profesional Inc has yet to send the requested information. They apparently wait a few months and then send you another notification of debt collections without se ding you the requested information. I need detailed information on the inital creditor so I can dispute this claim.

  In the last month I have started receiving invoices from Coast Professional, Inc. The letter states I owe taxes for 2021 (which I do not! see attached paid and cashed statements) and the invoice shows zero owed by me with interest and penalties growing. Someone needs to stop this before it ends up on my credit report! I called the IRS and they do not show I owe anything!

  Hi,
  
  Coastal Professional Inc. Garnished me for a little over 8 months in 2019 and intercepted my Federal Taxes stating that it was for my Student Loan debt. I didn't fight it or argue, because I knew that I attended college and had taken out loans. But last year when I checked the balance of my loans, I noticed that none of the funds that were garnished from me were applied to my debt. I spoke with (******) the Agency that now has my loans, and they have no information or knowledge of any other entity absorbing my account or money being applied to my loan balance. This is totally bizarre that Coast has just stolen around 11k from me without an Invoice or proof of transactions showing my balance decrease. I would like to know where all of the money that was garnished from me went. I tried contacting Coast Professional Inc, but they are no longer in business, and I need this issue resolved immediately. I have also attached documents showing the Garnishment Letter my employer received from Coast Professional Inc, on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education, as well as paystubs showing the deductions/garnishments. I am also in the process of obtaining a letter from the IRS to show the interception of my 2019 Tax fund. It's also odd that the literature shows two different balances. One says $20,109.75 and one has the balance at $24,733.49. But when I check my *** account, I have a balance of 14,591.12. This to me is all strange, and I need answers.
  Thank You, *****.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. The response that Coastal submitted is not acceptable. I should not have to contact the U.S. Department of Education "which I already have, and they have no record of anyone absorbing my debt or taking over the collection process of retaining the outstanding balance." If Coastal truly indeed had authorization to collect from me, they would definitely have record of the garnishment that they applied. I have letters from my employer and paystubs to show the deductions. This is theft, and I would like more information on this issue immediately.
