    This firm has repeatedly made contact with my HR department regarding a debt that isn't even valid. They provided false court paperwork (which we verified to be false/misleading with the court in question) claiming they had a judgement and attempting to get the company to voluntarily garnish my wages. I have been in contact with authorities and been informated that their behavior is illegal but the penalties are not severe enough to stop this behavior. At this point I am left with the option of seeking out others who have been defrauded by this firm and file a class action, or register my complaints with my state bar. I intend to do both.

    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

    Multiple attempts have been made by myself and my HR department via email and phone conversation to get this business to cease calling on a fraudulent issue.  All attempts have been ignored.  This business continues to not only contact our HR department, but will frequently just attempt to circumvent the phone tree and talk to anyone who will answer.  It is nothing but fraud and harassment by a highly unethical firm.  The ************ has been notified as well.


    Regards,

    **** ********

    I have been served a summons by them with no number to reach them at on the summons. I have disputed this debt multiple times with no attempt by the company to resolve the debt. Who filed the summons.

    On 02/26 a small claims judgement was made against me in the amount of *******. Although I tried numerous times to pay this prior to the judgment I was not able to reach a representative, however I was fine with the judgement as it was court ordered. I then went on the payment site to make a payment when I noticed that the amount owed did not reflect the payment I already made nor did it reflect the correct judgement amount. Online it said I owed *******. I sent an email on 03/19/2025 to *************** to correct this so I could pay in full and satisfy it. I also sent a letter to the law firm asking to correct this or to provide how I could mail a check in the judgment amount. I have not heard anything. I then looked at the case online to see that they issued a request for garnishment. I have been trying to pay the amount; I just wanted them to contact me to correct the amount owed so that I could satisfy it. Instead of providing me with how to pay and/or correcting the amount owed they went to garnish my paycheck. This is unacceptable since I have been trying to pay just needed them to acknowledge their error. I have issued a payment today in the full amount listed online and sent them another email showing that the account is overpaid per the judgement. Total paid on 04/05/2025: ******** Total paid on 02/05/2025: 100 Total paid on account: ******** Total judgement: ******* Overpaid: ****** I need help as the law firm is not working with me to correct their error and went to garnishment even though I wanted to pay and was happy to do so.

    This Company has been harrassing me for almost 20 years for a debt that is NOT mine. It was a debt that my ex owes for a vehicle he purchased. It clearly states in our divorce papers that he was responsible for this payment and any ***** on it. I have sent in letters stating this with the appropriate paperwork, and also made phone calls to them. My Employer recently received a wage garnishment from them to garnish my wages. The amount owed was approx $3700 and they want to collect approx $12K from me. The notice that my employer received does not even look like its legal.

    Fully paid off debt and trying to get in contact with company but no luck and they're keep taking my pay. My debt was paid off 3 weeks ago and still can't get in contact with them. 3 weeks straight I've continued to get my paychecks garnished and continue overpaying. I have no way to make it stop.I have proof of payment from bank statements and automated phone reference numbers but that is all.
