XX/XX/2019 Contacted IMC Credit Services and spoke with Rep. XXXX. I asked her that if I agreed to the terms of the proposed payment agreement, minus the 20 %, if I would still need to go to court. She told me that I would not need to go but there would still be a judgement entered against me so that IMC still had some recourse if I defaulted on my payment agreement. 

Violation Section 807 False or Misleading Representations ( 15 ) The false representation or implication that documents are not legal process forms or do not require action by the consumer. 


XX/XX/2019 Contacted IMC Credit Services LLC and spoke with Rep. XXXX. While trying to work out payment arrangements, RepXXXX XXXX told me that she could not take a less payment than the garnishment amount of {$150.00}. Being a reasonable person, I believed what she told me and agreed to {$150.00} monthly payments, which I can not afford but felt like I had no choice but to accept what she claimed to be the minimum garnishment amount. 

Violation Section 807 False or Misleading Representations ( 10 ) The use of any false representation or deceptive means to collect or attempt to collect any debt or to obtain information concerning a consumer. 




XX/XX/2019 Contacted IMC Credit Services LLC and spoke with RepXXXX XXXX. I made a payment of {$1500.00} this day and reluctantly agreed to make payments of what I was told the minimum garnishment amount of {$150.00} a month till the debt was paid in full would be. I asked XXXX if there was an agreement letter or something to show I paid the {$1500.00} and what my new balance was. She responded that IMC doesn't have that to send out. That the only thing they can send me was a letter showing my payment. I also asked her if I was going to receive a bill in the mail and she said they do not send out bills. I was to call my payment in by the end of the month. 


Violation Section 807 False or Misleading Representations ( 15 ) The false representation or implication that documents are not legal process forms or do not require action by the consumer.

This is also a violation of Small Claims Court procedure. The court requires a settlement letter be signed by both parties and filed with the court. 


Respectfully, I have been deceived and flat out lied to by IMC Credit Services LLC. I have attempted in good faith to pay and settle this debt but have only been taken advantage of, to the point a physical illness at my work place from stress.
