Complaint:
I had 2 credit cards with XXXX Bank. After losing a baby, losing my father, and losing my job I had fallen behind on paying them, however I had made arrangements with XXXX to make $ XXXX payments on each credit card. They could not provide me with account numbers and suggested to just schedule the payment through my bill pay and as long as I had those scheduled, no further action would be taken. I have had both payments scheduled since that moment for the XXXX of every month. They're not cashing the checks until the XXXX of the month. While that's suspicious, I had not heard from XXXX until I found out that someone was trying to serve me papers at an old address. XXXX sold my debt to Zwicker Associates PC without notifying me of that action. I've requested that XXXX take the debt back and continue with our agreement to no luck. While they have stated they're okay with Zwicker contining $ XXXX payments without a judgement or wage garnishment. I've not been able to make an arrangment with Zwicker or get a call back of any kind. They did not send any type of notice prior to submitting my debt for judgement. I've requested a debt validation letter and have not received anything back. My daughter tried to commit suicide earlier this year and the collection efforts performed by Zwicker have caused undue stress and XXXX. Forcing me to consider bankruptcy. A judgement or wage garnishment will affect my employment negatively as well.
