I never submitted my XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX ( expire ) Professional License to Target XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ), TD Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. My XXXX Professional License were not used at the opening of the XX/XX/XXXX Target credit card to obtain credit and should NOT be used as an exhibit in XXXX in an attempt to collect on a bad debt without proper documentation.

On XXXX XXXX  XXXX.

The representative said, " He don't believe TD Bank XXXX or Target would do anything wrong by falsely submitting my expire XXXX license to the XXXX ''. While speaking to the representative on the phone, the XXXX XXXX tried to serve me without all of the documents that were filed with the Lawsuit because they knew they had error with submitting my XXXX expired license to the XXXX. By law, ALL Court documents are to be serve that were filed/clocked in! 
I also on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, I emailed XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX about submitting.my expired XXXX professional license with my attached photo to the XXXX as a document violating my privacy rights. 

Also, the XXXX XXXX tried to serve me without identifying who I was, he threw the documents on the ground and left. On XX/XX/XXXX, my house was a total loss due to a house fire. The house is inhabitable. I don't live at that address. I was sitting in my car in the driveway when the XXXX XXXX showed up and threw the documents on the ground not knowing or asking who I was. I was not properly served the Summons and the Summons were left on the ground. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), TD Bank XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX falsely and deceptive place my XXXX professional license attached with my photo in the XXXX as a document for the Target credit card debt. In doing so, Target XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), TD Bank XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX violated my privacy rights by electronically displaying my photo and personal information online and deceptively violated the Fair Debt Collections Act. 

TD Bank, Target XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX continues its abusive practices toward consumers by not protecting personal information and deceptively violating the Fair Debt Collections Act. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX filed this lawsuit and submitted the document of my expired XXXX professional license with my attached photo! As of Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, my expired XXXX license with my attached photo have been removed from the XXXX records as it was clocked in with this Summons.
