Company: Collection Bureau of Walla Walla
State: OR
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
Received garnishment in mail for a medical bill from 8 years ago. I am so confused because first it's a garnishment filed in XXXX  state from a judgement from 8 years ago. I live in XXXX and have for 7 years. Second I don't recall ever receiving anything in mail either at all or not for a long long time since I've been in XXXX  from XXXX stating you had the medical bill which I thought was required. If it was sent years ago then I'm not going to remember that and new letter should of been sent to my address in XXXX. I have received 2 letters this year recently from a different collection place called collection bureau of walla walla stating they had the account. How can two collection places have the same debt? I don't understand that and why wait so many years before filing this? I didn't even remember about the medical bill until receiving the collection from other company. I do not want a garnishment against me, it's embarrassing for employer to see and if the max % that's allowed is taken out, I won't be able to afford all my rent and bills anymore and will end up in even more debt. I can not afford and it was for medical procedure I had to have done and insurance barely covered. I was going to set something up with the collection place that sent me the letter to either lower amount or make payments here soon but then this showed up from a different collection company... .very confusing. I would rather make payment arrangements or do anything else other than a garnishment. I'm so upset especially since it was medical issue I didn't have control of.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX my mother ( XXXX XXXX, who had power of attorney at the time ) contacted XXXX to request a forebearance. This was right when COVID was beginning. They told her that my loan wouldnt even be able to go into forebearance until the loan was brought current, and furthermore that this would prevent any missed payments as being reported delinquent. So she brought my payment current by liquidating my 401k and paying XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. There was NEVER any mention of any more payments to facilitate this process. It took XXXX until the end of XXXX to put my loan into forebearance with absolutely NO correspondence about any sort of extra payment. When she applied all they told her in XX/XX/XXXX was to make those payments and wait for the application to be processed. So I come to find out a couple of months ago that this entire time my loan has been in forebearance due to COVID ( still currently in forebearance ) that they have reported EVERY SINGLE PAYMENT as delinquent ; THIS HAS DESTROYED my credit score. I have been in contact with them several times since I found this out and keep getting empty promises as to it being resolved in the next few business days ; on every call. I have escalated it, and escalated it, and made notations on the account, even offered to pay the missed month to clear this up and delete the delinquent payments off of my report. In the most recent call, they told me it would be resolved by today, yet I have not received an email or phone call. What happened, so they say, is that since the XX/XX/XXXX payment was not completed when it went into forebearance, which made my loan payments not current. Again, my mother did everything they told her to by bringing it current, per their directions, by paying XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, and it was their negligence that made the missed payment in XXXX by not only taking so long to process the plan but not informing anyone that they needed payment for XX/XX/XXXX as well. The application was in as of XXXX and it took them until XXXX to process it with NO mention of any extra payment. My mother is retired and well established and will testify to this in any legal format deemed necessary. XXXX should also have phone records, so they say, as they always use a recorded line. Please help. I have done everything I can and they seem like they are just trying to bury this and destroy my financial future for years to come. We did everything they told us to do and now my credit score is a XXXX

Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint:
I took out a secured card at Navy Federal Credit Union ending in XXXX depositing {$200.00} to use against. The card was completely paid off and account closed on XX/XX/2022. They refuse to give me the original {$200.00} I deposited to create the card and just give poorly explained excuse after excuse as to why they can't return my rightful money -- or even use my paid off card which is still displayed as active in my banking dashboard despite being closed. They agree the card was completely paid off including all interest and still refuse to release my money or even close the account/remove it from my banking dashboard -- which should have been taken care of the day the entire amount was paid and account closed. I am surprised and disgusted by this banks actions ; literally taking $ XXXX off my back with no discernible reason as to why they can't return my money. This is malicious in nature and the only people I can get on the phone to solve this are malcontents that insist no solution exists.

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) is a process server that was hired in my case XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to legally serve me with a lawsuit. 

On XX/XX/2022 at approximately XXXX, an unknown man in an unmarked vehicle dressed in informal street wear without any identifying information ( such as a badge ) waited down the block from my home in his car ( a white or silver sedan ) with the lights off. When my husband pulled into the driveway of our home and opened the garage door, the man in the unmarked car sped up to my husbands car with unknown vehicle 's lights ( headlights and taillights ) OFF. This scared my husband so badly, that he hurried to close the garage door behind him. The man in the unmarked vehicle turned on his vehicle lights, walked up the driveway, and proceeded to pound on the garage door with his fist. According to my husband and our home security footage, the man never identified himself. Adding to the scariness of the incident, the man walked up to our front door, even though our house outdoor lights were off, and proceeded to pound on the front door, while also peering through our doors peephole and through the windows. All of this can be seen on our home security footage. Unbeknownst to us, the man just drops the legal papers at the door and leaves. We didnt know who he was or why he was there until we investigated the papers left behind and received notices through email that I had been served a lawsuit. Because I was so unnerved by the event, I called the police and had them write a report. I have attached it below. 

This situation is also problematic legally because the man in the white/silver sedan had increased the speed of his vehicle with his vehicle lights off while there were families and children in the street ( off camera ). He also appeared suspicious to neighbors and sparked interest with the community 's unofficial neighborhood watch. 

I understand that XXXX is entitled to attempt to locate me to serve a lawsuit. However, the tactics used during this incident were legally unethical, does not represent good faith measures on behalf of the law firm to collect a debt, and is arguably morally reprehensible.
