Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notification through a 3rd party company via mail called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding a lawsuit that was filed against me by XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. However, I have never received any notification regarding this debt or lawsuit directly from the credit company and their lawyers Johnson Mark LLC. I had previously been in contact with XXXX XXXX XXXX, which oversees the financial side of XXXX XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) over a debt that I assumed responsibility of. At the time I spoke to XXXX XXXX XXXX, the agent mentioned another debt, which I was unaware of. I asked for a validation letter and emphasized that I had never received a notification regarding this debt and would like to dispute. The agent set it as a dispute and said they would send a validation letter within 5-10 business days. On XX/XX/XXXX, when I received the notification via 3rd party, I called the XXXX XXXX where it was located ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and they advised that yes Johnson Mark LL had filed a law suit and I would need to contact them. I then reached out XXXX XXXX XXXX once more to see why they had filed a lawsuit if there was only one validated debt that was being paid. I spoke with XXXX at XXXX and she confirmed that Johnson Mark LLC was overseeing this and this was for the other debt the agent had mentioned. XXXX provided more information and provided a reference number XXXX with a balance of {$980.00}. I then called Johnson Mark LLC on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX and spoke with XXXX and advised her her company had filed a law suit but that the account was never verified by either party. I advised her that I was made aware of this account via the agent when I called to pay the other debt off. I also advised her this account was in dispute and I had not received any information on it as of yet. She confirmed that this account was in dispute and hold but that they would not stop from serving me. I logged into the account of Johnson Mark LLC and to see if they did have this account, however it does not show I have this account with them. So I am unable to see any information. When I log into XXXX XXXX XXXX, it does not show me information. As far as I know, they are refusing to provide me information regarding this debt, but continue to proceed with suing me. 

It is XX/XX/XXXX and I still have not received any notification directly from the parties below, that I am being sued by Johnson Mark LLC or XXXX XXXX  and this lawsuit was filed on XX/XX/XXXX. I have never received notification from either party, Johnson Mark LLC, XXXX XXXX  or XXXX XXXX regarding this alleged owed debt. I have not been given the opportunity to dispute this debt or validate it. I find this worrisome as I believe that this company is acting in deceiving ways. Like so many who have left reviews on the companies, I believe they purposely have failed to notify me of a lawsuit or the debt so that I do not have the opportunity to show up to court OR even dispute this debt, and they can get a ruling in their favor. These companies seem to be wanting to scam me out of money that I may not even owe. I have copies and screenshots of the case status, their accounts that do not show this debt for me, the 3rd party letter I received from a party that is not affiliated with them, and notes and recordings of the calls I have made trying to obtain information on this. I have also filed a complaint with the Arizona Attorney Generals office and they advised to send the complaint to Federal Trade Commission to file a complaint and report these companies.
