In XX/XX/XXXX I was XXXX XXXX from the XXXX, and started XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, TX. On XX/XX/XXXX I took a loan From XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$4600.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I renewed the loan for {$3100.00}, for a total of {$7800.00} between both loans. Between XXXX and XXXX, I paid {$5700.00} back to XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

In the month of XXXX, the XXXX XXXX Department of Veterans Affairs place me on XXXX XXXX and I could not maintain my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX the medication the VA placed me on was very powerful and. I immediately notified XXXX XXXX XXXX by email, section 2.2 of XXXX XXXX XXXX contract States Purchaser assume the risk that future business has slowed down, or the full purchased Amount may never be remitted because Sellers business went bankrupt or otherwise ceased operations in the ordinary course of business. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX began calling me numerous times, on each occasion I would answer the phone, they would be extremely aggressive. They made so many harassing calls to me every day, I sent XXXX XXXX XXXX a cease-and-desist letter via email. I also informed them I withdrew my permissions for them to debit my banking account. XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX sent me an email stating it doesnt work That way they continued to debit my account without my authorization until they had the account closed. 

Approximately a week later XXXX XXXX XXXX placed a {$250.00} XXXX charge on my account and a {$2500.00} default charge. I immediately notified them after I was placed on medication, and could not operate a commercial vehicle, thats within their contract, therefore Im not deserving of a {$2500.00} default I never defaulted. 

When I took the loan with XXXX, they never asked what kind of business I operated nor did they ask me did I own any equipment, in fact my previous company has never own any equipment, therefore Im confused about the XXXX, theres nothing to place a lean on. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX never ask anything concerning my previous business, their application process is to send them 3 bank statements. They claim they are buying future receipts they never ask me anything about a receipt or how I made my money the qualifications for a Loan with XXXX is to have monthly deposits regardless the source of the funds. 

XXXX XXXX  XXXX began sending me emails stating they will have their attorney investigate me for fraud, and they have place a XXXX on me and they plan to execute it to its fullest. 

On one occasion a woman called me claiming XXXX XXXX Law enforcement Officer and she was planning to execute a UCC that had been placed on me by XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX sent me an email asking me to call him, I immediately responded and called him, almost instantly when he picked up the phone, he immediately began being aggressive saying they will charge me with fraud. I told him I had enough of XXXX XXXX XXXX  and was going to the courts in XXXX XXXX and file a complaint, he stated if you do, we will send our people after you. 

About 30 minutes later I began getting a multitude of calls from spoof numbers, when I answer the phone the person would make comments like, your days are numbered its almost time we will make you regret this finally being fed up, I responded to them and stated Im a 2 time American  War Veteran and a ex XXXX XXXXXXXX If I feel myself or my family is being physically threaten, I will utilize my training to its fullest and respond to the max allowed by Texas Law.

I did not owe them any money according to their contract and to leave me alone because I was no loner Operating a Business Shortly after, I began getting call everyday numerous times a day of individuals claiming to be loan officers offering me a Business loan, I refused each time telling the people I was not operating a business anymore.

One call I received a call from a person claiming to be a Loan officer from the SBA this gentleman claim I took an SBA business loan. I explained to him I applied for the loan and was approved when I operated my business, but I never signed for the loan because the documents stated I had to have been in business before the pandemic, but I wasnt, therefore I refused the loan. 

The SBA post who apply for their loans online the individual was able to find this information with a search of the company name.

On XX/XX/XXXX I received three calls from people posing as loan officers and on posing as The SBA loan officer I told him I had went back into the Military he continued asking me a lot of questions concerning my previous business, I continued explaining to him that I hadnt operated in months and I was not interested in a business loan. The call appeared to be strange therefore at XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX I blocked my number an called the number back the answering service stated it was the office of XXXX XXXX XXXX. Therefore at XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX I constructed an email and sent it to XXXX XXXX XXXX, confronting them for posing as a government official from the SBA, and canvasing me for a loan. At this point I realized XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX was making the harassing calls recording and them to see if I was still operating therefore, they could try and defraud me out of money undermining the court system.
