Product: Debt collection

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Fein, Such, Kahn & Shepard, PC, advising I owed a debt to XX/XX/XXXX for the original creditor named, XX/XX/XXXX.  There was a judgement for $XX/XX/XXXX and the total due with fees is $XX/XX/XXXX.  The letter advised to send a written request within 30 days if there was a dispute.  I had never heard of this creditor.On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a Validation of Debt letter to the address on the letter to XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, NJ XX/XX/XXXX.  To date I have never received a response.In the middle of XX/XX/XXXX, their document dated XX/XX/XXXX, advising they are going to garnish my wages.  At this point, I felt this was a scam as I had never heard of XX/XX/XXXX and I XX/XX/XXXX the name to find out they went out of business in XX/XX/XXXX's.  On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, Court Officer, XX/XX/XXXX, NJ  XX/XX/XXXX, stating a judgement was filed against me on XX/XX/XXXX, for $XX/XX/XXXX.  The document said execution is attached but there was no attachment.  I live in XX/XX/XXXX County and am aware of the XX/XX/XXXX County Court house in XX/XX/XXXX, NJ but this came from XX/XX/XXXX, NJ with a PO Box.  Again, I felt it was a scam as I had not received any notice to appear in court or any confirmation of the debt.On XX/XX/XXXX, my employer sent me an email advising my wages were going to be garnished starting with the XX/XX/XXXX paycheck. They sent me a copy of the document received from XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX office.  I asked if they had ever heard of him and was he legitimate and she advised he was and that they work out of different offices.  She suggested I call the number on the document because the judgement is from XX/XX/XXXX and very old.I called XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX office at XX/XX/XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX right after I spoke with our payroll department.  I left a message that I was not aware of this debt and why was I not allowed to defend myself in court.  I did not receive a call back.I called XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX office again the next morning on XX/XX/XXXX, and he answered.  I told him the document my payroll department sent me says the judgement is from XX/XX/XXXX. I was never served any documents to appear in court and have no idea what this is for. I did move in XX/XX/XXXX after a divorce and wanted to know what address the notifications were sent to and how do they know they have the correct XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, as it is a common name.  I advised I had until Monday, XX/XX/XXXX to stop my paycheck from being garnished.  He said he would call the attorneys.On XX/XX/XXXX, I did not hear anything from XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXX office and saw there was an email address on the document provided by my payroll department. I emailed him at XX/XX/XXXXm.On XX/XX/XXXX, I left a voicemail for Mr; XX/XX/XXXX asking if he heard from the attorney's. He did not call me back but answered my email advising he forwarded my email to the attorney's and is waiting for a response.  On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a follow up email to Mr. XX/XX/XXXX if he had heard a response from the attorney's as the garnishment was going to take place with my paycheck on XX/XX/XXXX and payroll needed to know if a hold would be placed by Monday, XX/XX/XXXX, while this was being contested.  Mr. XX/XX/XXXX responded that he forwarded my email to the attorneys and have not heard back and there is nothing further he can do and suggested I contact them directly at XX/XX/XXXX.On XX/XX/XXXX, I left a voicemail message for XX/XX/XXXX at xXX/XX/XXXX, as stated in their letter.  I also emailed Mr. XX/XX/XXXX outlining a timeline of what had happened since receiving the first letter from the attorney's until today. I attached the Validation of Debt letter I sent on XX/XX/XXXX, with no response and the past week which was wasted with the attorney's not even responding to him.  The wage garnishment commenced with my XX/XX/XXXX paycheck.  I called and left messages for XX/XX/XXXX at xXX/XX/XXXX, with Fein, Such, Kahn & Shepard, PC at XX/XX/XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/2019 and XX/XX/XXXX, with no return call to date.This is an unfair business practice of this law firm, trying to collect a debt for a company  that went out of business over decade ago.  I was not properly notified of any judgement in XXXX  and not properly notified in XX/XX/XXXX.  No one can seem to produce any paperwork to validate the debt is mine, and what address it was sent too, not even the court officer.  I am an upstanding citizen and have nothing like this on my record, this garnishment has ruined my reputation at work and I felt compelled to report it.
