After all this I found out that Oliphant a collection company filed a judgment in my name on XXXX the basis of the judgment is a debt with XXXX XXXX, but the only documents that they used to filed the judgment is a credit application that shows my information but the signature and the ID number is different than my ID #. There is not contract or any receipt that shows any purchase of furniture from XXXX, they do n't have one & they ca n't produce one because does n't exist. The judge signed them a judgment with not contract ( a judgment is a product of a breach of contract ) only a fraudulent credit application. I being twice in court as a ex-parte but they Attorneys have never showed up & judge always defend them & have n't set aside Judgment ( is the same judge that signed this illegal judgment ) On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX went to court again first with the same judge of the judgment, they did n't showed up judge did n't grant me to set aside judgment as a ex-parte he want me back on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, but I went with other Judge for the wage garnishment the same day and Judge was upset & asked the Attorney if his firm was fighting my allegation or if his firm ever considered Identity Thief & why they never showed up with the other judge, his answer was that he did n't know & also did n't know that they were collecting from me. This judge stop wage garnishment until we go to next court date on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I have never applied or buy anything from XXXX XXXX, I being calling this people send the application back to them from FTC ( FTC contacted them about my complain ) & proof or Identity thief on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX they have never stop collection as they promised or replied back to my faxes or ever return my multiples phone calls I had made to them.
