I had a levy put on my bank account for a debt I was unaware of from 2010. I had to pay a non refundable fee which I could not afford and after I provided my personal information, I was granted exemption and my funds were released, minus the fee. Now just a couple months later, I have received another letter regarding the same debt, requesting payment yet again and threatening to take legal action once again when I just went through this whole process already and received exemption. My situation has not improved, I do not have the resources to pay this bill and I dont want to keep getting harassed about itBusiness Response

Our law firm, Mullooly,Jeffrey, Rooney & Flynn LLP (hereinafter MJRF"), represents the original creditor, ***************, N.A. (FIA Card Services, N.A., hereinafter referred to as our client), for collection of the consumers credit card account. There was a hold on the consumers ************* account based upon our clients judgment. Upon receipt of the consumers exemption claim, **** released the hold on her ************* account, however, the debt still remains due and owing to our client. Any non-refundable fee was not taken by our client but was charged by her own banking institution. **** provided a copy of the judgment and two years of credit card statements regarding the debt to the consumer following receipt of her initial Better Business Bureau (BBB) complaint dated 12/9/2024. MJRF later sent the consumer a letter offering different settlement options dated 1/15/2025. Upon receipt of the consumers instant BBB complaint dated 1/22/2025, **** has taken note of her cease and desist request. Should the consumer wish to discuss her matter or a possible resolution, she can call MJRF toll free at ************ or ******** *******, a non-attorney debt collector at MJRF, directly at ************. This communication is from a debt collector. This is an attempt to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose.Customer Answer

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:What is being done to me is harassment. I have already provided proof that I am unable to pay this **** from over a decade ago because I am in a bad position financially. I have provided proof that my child is chronically ill and I am needed at home to care for him therefore I cannot work. I have provided proof that my only income is from temporary assistance through social services which is deemed exempt from collection. I cannot afford for my bank account to be levied again and incur more non refundable fees. I just provided all this proof a few months ago and they turn right around and come after me again. That is not right and should not even be legal . I cannot afford it now just like I could not afford it in December. I do not want to keep getting harrassed about it .

This company is a debt collector that is bullying me in attempt to collect a debt. I received several letters and now they have frozen a financial account that do not belong to me but to my partner. They have contacted my job and livelyhood. The constant communication and attempt to financially hurt me has caused me anxiety and fear. I attempted to call the company to try to find a resolution and left voicemails but no response. They refused to speak to me and continue to find avenues to create fear and I feel unprotected.Business Response
