Consumer complaint received 2024-04-28 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Blitt and Gaines, P.C.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I have been targeted by professional criminals since the XXXX 's. I'm not sure why I have become a target of so many people I have never met before, but none the less professional criminals have attacked my family going on 20 years now. Some of the criminals include the XXXX XXXX Scandal, Student Loan Debt Scandal XXXX, The Phantom Debt Collector Scheme - XXXX XXXX pretending to be with the GOV and will arrest me once I returned XXXX from XXXX, The XXXX XXXX XXXX, and whatever the new scam is with Debt Negotiator XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THESE ARE SCAMS WHEN THE XXXX  or OTHER GOVERNMENT Agencies have allowed these people to continue targeting Americans by way of abrasive Debt Collecting practices, and stiff-arming consumers into paying them money that is NOT owed?!? 

In XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from Blitt & Gaines P.C. stating that they were attempting to collect a debt that I paid off by way of a Debt Negotiator XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX? I sent Blitt & Gaines P.C. a debt validation letter and requested documentation about ownership of debt, and a letter validating their ability to practice law in Indiana. 

As a VICTIM of Professional Criminals National & International I have a right to question the validity of a debt that I paid for a year prior. Blitt & Gaines P.C. sent me billing history which only proves that someone gave them my information instead of sending me anything that proved the validity of the debt and their ownership of the debt they were attempting to collect. Blitt & Gaines P.C. filed a lawsuit against me in 2 courts in XXXX XXXX before I could respond with receipts or get to the bottom of whatever new scam this is. 

The 2nd lawsuit we have NEVER received a bill for. I'm not quite sure why so many of these people are so quick to treat us like criminals, and once the criminals are caught then we can't get are money back or the debt would have been paid off by now. 

I had a XXXXcredit score before the Pandemic Lockdown hit in XXXX. Then my neighbor tried to steal a half-acre of my property. He frivolously and legally attempted to steal my property without having ownership of it by way of Squatters. It cost me XXXX XXXX  in attorney fees and upwards of {$100000.00} in XXXX XXXX. I was supposed to get my money back when I won in XXXX, but the Judge was unable to award me the Jury money due to inadequate laws in Indiana.

I don't mind paying debt I owe. I think I have a history of paying off my debt over and over again for the past 20 years. What I don't appreciate is being stalked and targeted by professional criminals that could be connected to any one of the other 25+ criminals that I have already had to deal with in my lifetime of 40+ years. 

At this point I don't know who is telling the truth. XXXX XXXX XXXX has an A+ XXXX  rating and the business is registered with the California XXXX. # XXXX. I filed a complaint # XXXX against XXXX XXXX XXXX a few days ago XX/XX/XXXX. In the meantime, I only have 23 days to respond to a court case that could have been cleared up if Blitt & Gaines P.C. would have tried to communicate with me instead of using the XXXX XXXX XXXX system to intimidate me into sending them money. If I don't respond, then Blitt & Gaines P.C. could get a default judgement order against me with 8 % interest on a debt that I dispute as being paid.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
