Complaint:
This is my second complaint about XXXX XXXX and their associated law firm. My first complaint was settled. However, the tactics at which these individuals use to settle their debt is concerning. I originally filed a complaint in late XX/XX/XXXX. I received a response letter dated XX/XX/XXXX. I first received original correspondence in XX/XX/XXXX of which I did not respond initially, as I thought this was a scam. I will admit that I did not remember signing up for a credit card at first, but then I was doing some research on my own. On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX CST there was a knock at my door, which is in a secure apartment complex so I am not positive as to how this person gained entry, I answered and he handed me papers and walked away. These papers contained nothing but the file number, bland information as to what I was being charged with ( which was a shock to me as this was the first I was hearing of potential court issues ). Email correspondence between XXXX XXXX XXXX and I happened on XX/XX/XXXX ; I was reaching out to XXXX about any settlement opportunities that may be available. He responded asking for a good phone number at which I could be reached, I replied with a phone number and told him the best times that I could be reached to discuss. After, I received no further emails or calls. On a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX I received an offer letter from XXXX about an offer to settle the claim against me for {$420.00}, the letter included a website to where I could pay online. I received a letter in the mail in early XX/XX/XXXX containing an order from the XXXX County court letting me know that an action was filed on XX/XX/XXXX against me. The letter contained a file number that the state has for this judgement, however no such court dates. After receiving this letter, I decided that I should pay the amount that I owed and I would move on. I submitted a payment for {$590.00} on XX/XX/XXXX using their website, the funds were deducted on XX/XX/XXXX from my bank account. I then called their office on XX/XX/XXXX requesting a receipt be sent to me, the individual I spoke with said that I should be receiving it within 3-4 days and the letter would be sent out that same day. After waiting over the time period, I then called again requesting a letter on XX/XX/XXXX and they said that one would be sent out and they did not see my first request. As of XX/XX/XXXX I have not received any correspondence from the company, I also have submitted online requests for contact and they have not been fulfilled. I have requested a receipt and would like them to remove this from my credit report. Due to their lack of professionalism in this matter, it has caused increased stress in my life upon fear of a lawsuit that I am not sure is even happening. They have not been fair in trying to resolve this matter, and I can say that I would have rather reached a compromise than have been threatened with legal force. I do have supporting documents if they are required. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
