I tried explain this wasn't my debt.they eventually reversed the garnishment. Never heard another word from them. I was never served.never received any mail nothing. 
I abosulety thought that was the end of it. 
XXXX they say they served me when in fact I never heard another thing from these sketchy guys until XXXX where I received a letter stating we had hashed it out over phone and that i needed to fill out Id theft affidavit and return.XXXX I filled out forms had it notorized and mailed in back They claim they never received it. I have the actual letter with the forms missing from back.so that confirms for me that I did what they asked. My paperwork is purged every XXXX yrs so why I have this letter I don't know Never heard a word from them nothing. 
XXXX mother is XXXX in hospital and I receive my paycheck and there is a garnishment from guess who. 
I was taking care of my mom and I went to my corporate office where they took care if it and had the garnishment reversed again I can hardly remember the details I just know I thought again revers the garnishment they took care of it it was not my debt it was due to id fraud. 
XX/XX/XXXX they say they served me and this is not true I have been home with a injured leg since XX/XX/XXXX I barely even leave the house Now it is JXXXX XXXX XXXX yrs they have been strong arming me and refiling the judgement against me It's not my debt over 8 years for the first I'd theft affidavit I tried to file and in XXXX I filed another one. I was told that it's my fault they did not get first one and I should have checked with courts to obtain my paperwork on judgement.How in the XXXX would I know to do that if I knew nothing about it or I thought they did what I thought was there job and rectified the situation NOPE I didn't realize that these are sketchy vultures who buy junk debt and try to strong arm u into paying my credit report is clear I pay my bills .after 22 yes if it were in fact my debt I would have made some sort of attempt.they can't prove to me that it is in fact mine nor can they prove they own the debt and they XXXX sure can't show me any paperwork I don't even know who the original creditor was. 
I need help this think is keeping me from taking care of my family even though it's not on my credit report somebody checked the judgement in the county and there it is.i also have a doctor bill that should have been charged off that showed up here.but they are working to clear that up This is obsurd.ibcant afford lawyers to fight for me so I guess I can go defend myself or lose everything that I have over this 22 yrs old debt. Please help me
