Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX charged of a debt of {$420000.00}. On XXXX I receive a letter from XXXX XXXX the debt is now owed to then for the amount of {$4200.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I receive a letter in the amount of {$4300.00} that is owed to them. On XX/XX/XXXX I receive a letter from Kohn Law now I owe them {$4300.00}. A Greater balance of {$87.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I receive a Summons and Complaint from Kohn thru XXXX County Court in the amount of {$4400.00}. XX/XX/XXXX I receive an Order To Appear before Commissioner, balance now is {$4700.00}. Now the balance is greater by {$460.00}. The next time I hear from Kohn in the form of a Garnishment Notice dated XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$7200.00}. Next is the Garnishment Notice to collect money on rent in which I was not even collecting for the amount of {$6700.00}. Another Garnishment Notice in the amount of {$6100.00}. Then another Garnishment Notice on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of $ XXXX.Several letters and correspondence I receive regarding this debt have amounts that do not match. Leading me to believe they have significantly inflated this debt as to they see fit. On XX/XX/XXXX I file a complaint with your agency. A response letter fro Kohn states that as of XX/XX/XXXX the date of their letter the amount is $ XXXX.The Garnishment in XX/XX/XXXX states XXXX. A letter XXXX XXXX responds to you, dated XX/XX/XXXX that Kohn Law stops charging interest on this debt as of XX/XX/XXXX. You will clearly notice the interest is higher on each garnish notice to date. An e-mail between my Payroll and Benefits states as of XX/XX/XXXX Kohn tells them the amount is {$6100.00}. I have now paid {$3000.00}. Then on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX states the amount is {$5000.00}. To this date I have had garnished the amount of {$4600.00}. Then on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I receive a phone call from a male regarding this debt. I am not able to discuss this matte since I am in the woods and do not have access to any paperwork. The male then becomes threating as to say it would be in your best interest to discuss and pay this debt. I have a lawyer who they need to go thru for any other contact then court documents, this law was broken. And also the threat. I believe they carried out the threat by serving me another Order To Appear to the Commissioner. This meeting was schedule in the furthest point of XXXX County WI. Making me drive the farthest as possible to inconvenience me. During the meeting they were by phone. They asked me questions they already knew and not once asked for the taxes, paystubs, or bank statements they requested. This was just to inconvenience me and charge me another {$100.00} for court proceedings. My wife was present who was not part of this debt they say I owe. They then harass her asking her questions about her job and wages threatening to come after her. They clearly can not do this.
