Company: LJ Ross Associates
State: MD
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed

Complaint:
Case #   XXXX  The following is a rebuttal to  LJ Ross & assoc l etter. Pardon me for starting a new complaint as you had closed the old : CPFB   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX    Case  #  XXXX  Dea r Manager, Thank you for your prompt response. Unfortunately,   XXXX   XXXX   and LJ Ross asso ciates ( LJRA ) half-baked research and lackadaisical reporting lacks relevant points of facts :  1. That ou r property at   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  ,  XXXX , MD   XXXX   was a rental property. The renter had a separate  XXXX  account. However, when the renter moved out and much later the bank foreclosed on the property  XXXX  decided to purge that account and outstanding balance was merged into our current account on  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX ,  XXXX  MD  XXXX   ( p resent home ). {$910.00} was merged with latter account exactly on  XX/XX/XXXX  ( account history enclosed ).    2.  So when  XXXX  makes a claim that the utility bill is for present home she is condescending. Either she lives in a cave or below some rock to not realize how can some live on a property (  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   ), n ot pay utility bills and yet the utility company does NOT turn off the power. And why does the company not turn off power? Because bills are have been paid on time and the account is current.    3.  That  XXXX  fails to ask requisite questions on  XXXX  and blindly ascertains that  XXXX  bill is not included in the bankruptcy. She is again found stating falsely that utility bills are not for  XXXX  when the account history referred in para  XXXX  above highlights the falsehood.    4.   XXXX  without first getting hold of itemized statement from  XXXX  unabashedly goes on a charact er assassination c ampaign making false assumptions. While she is able to find out when bankruptcy was filed and  discharged but made no efforts to ascertain for what property? After all certain debts are discharged as result of bankruptcy, right! Had she done her job she would been pleasantly surprised? Easy  to destroy a poor consumer 's credit but tough to get relevant facts and details! Lo Behold! High handedness.   From the preceding it can safely be concluded that over-reaching and tone-deaf characteristics of collection agencies who are most concerned about their bottom-line and consider good-credit of customers as trivial hence expendable and  LJRA is no exception.    Regrettably, CPFB lacks the teeth to take such self-aggrandizing and disreputable collections agencies to task. Or is it? Thanks again for all the great service you extend. Best regards.     Most respectfully,   XXXX   XXXX

Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
I 'm   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   for my  XXXX  degree and I have some loans that are subsidized from my  XXXX , so the interest should be paid while I 'm in school by the  US D epartment of Education. I pay the interest on unsubsidized portion of my loans so it wo n't be capitalized and added to my balance. The problem is, that when I make my payments there is no way for me to direct my payments just to my unsubsidized loans so my payments are directed to both my subsidized and unsubsidized loans and losing that benefit of interest being covered while I 'm in school. When I have called on several different occasions in  XXXX  and  XXXX    XXXX   to get a history of my payments and balances, I keep getting a the same answer, " We do n't have that '' just a history of payments that I have made. In a separate incident, I had a loan disperse on my graduate loan and paid a refund amount. When I asked for the a statement showing that refund payment, they again said " We do n't have that ''.
