XX/XX/XXXX during the time of signing ( XX/XX/XXXX XXXX ) of those payment were processed per bank statements on our joint account, last payment date XX/XX/XXXX.

XXXX XXXX was bought out by the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) in XXXX they permanently closed this gym articles reflect in XXXX. I never received the original notice that was alleged sent XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Never was given the opportunity to dispute debt and have now since accrued an obscene amount almost double what the original debt In the contract it does state a lot of contradicting information, my contract outlines 24 months and even though this account was closed its going against its breaching its own contract by not abiding by the terms and conditions after initial terms has expired membership will renew for same terms and continue at rate. Numerous of discrepancies with amounts and the debt itself. 
XXXX XXXX of XXXX i noticed a debt reflecting on my credit, immediately disputed it because that was the first Ive seen or heard about said establishment since closing account. XXXX deleted the debt from my report for : Accuracy There were fraudulent charges made on this account. 
The contract related to this account has been cancelled. 
Nothing until XX/XX/XXXX when my employer notified me of a garnishment with XXXX XXXX, immediately said day i go to the court house to seek help and guidance, clerks advised to request a hearing. Hearing date was XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXaid attorney wasnt present at the hearing so judge called XXXX XXXX and proceeded judgement via telephone, the judge didnt even look at the information i gathered nor seemed to care that i was disputing ownership the debt or the default judgement, Ive since left numerous of voicemails at XXXX XXXX XXXX and never get anyone on the phone, the voicemail guideline to prevent a delay in a return call state leave name, employer, last 4 of social & phone number with area code, no response from the office or any means to resolve or challenge the debt, i feel violated and at a loss that i cant defend myself or that my voice isnt being heard and Im now financially insecure for a debt that isnt true or accurate, i feel the office is avoiding me because they are getting the money regardless Im just a check they are collecting on, Im pleading to have this re-examined and the garnishment to reflect accurate dues or gone completely, this is unfair and cant see how this is lawful and not against consumer rights.
