Complaint:
I was sued by XXXX XXXX for credit card debt. I entered into a debt relief program in XX/XX/XXXX. This account was included in my program with XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX persued a lawsuit and I was supposed to be represented by XXXX XXXX XXXX as a part of my program and I was paying for their services.  They did nothing for me to represent me so XXXX XXXX won the lawsuit. It was for quite a bit more than I owed.  I had owed $XXXX at the time I joined XXXX. The lawsuit amount was for $XXXX. That is a difference of XXXX.  Ihave been making the payments. To XXXX XXXX until XXXX  of this yr. I discontinued my agreement with XXXX  and started a new program with XXXX XXXX. I did not include the XXXX XXXX debt as I was going to continue to make the payments of $XXXX a month to them on my own per the stipulated agreement at a po box in XXXX, CA. The first check was cashed after I paid it and then the second one never was. 
I then received letters from XXXX XXXX XXXX trying to collect on this debt that had been being paid monthly ouy of my escrow account with XXXX. 
I paid a total of 19 payments equalling XXXX while with XXXX.
Then XXXX XXXX XXXX  filed a notice of Settlement of entire case in XX/XX/XXXX.  
I believed this to mean I was done paying this settlement. 
However i then started receiving letters from Reese Law Group in XX/XX/XXXX. 
They stated I still owed this money so I started paying them.  I have paid 5 payments to them. They then filed a exparte order to enter judgement for the remaining balance plus fees of $XXXX.  
I filed papers with the court objecting to this exparte order as I have been making the payments and I wrote to them trying to get them to let me know if I do still owe this debt as I thought that XXXX XXXX XXXX   form to settle entire case meant I was done paying this. I have not received anything from the court since Reese Law Group filed this exparte order and I responded. The clerk did say when I went to file these papers that this case had been dismissed. I am really confused on if I owe any more on this or not.  
I feel it should be paif off as the original amount was $XXXX XXXX and to date I have paid $XXXX. 
Reese law group is now calling and harassing me even though I have continued to send payments. 
I call back but the person never answers the phone and she will not answer my questions in a voice mail.  
Reese Law Group phone is XXXX. The person I am supposed to talk with is XXXX XXXX. Ext XXXX. 
I would like some clarification on if I even still owe this debt and if so that they dismiss it as paid in full as I have paid more then the amount of the original debt. I would also like reimbursement of the amount above the original amount I have paid or since the notice of settlement of entire case received in XX/XX/XXXX any amounts paid after that I would like reimbursement from XXXX XXXX. 
This has been very stressful annd confusing with all the different entities involved. I believe this debt is paid in full and I am asking for $ XXXX  be returned to me due to the case dismissal in XX/XX/XXXX
Thanks, XXXX XXXX
