Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX stated that the payment for XXXX was never received, however XX/XX/XXXX a payment for the entire amount of the loan was sent. We did a buyout of our lease only to find out they would not except the payment. They did not send the money back to the loan company for almost 2 months even though I kept calling XXXX to send the money back. I was under the assumption the account was paid in full which is why no payment was sent. As a matter of fact because the account showed no balance I did not have the option to pay anything because there was nothing to pay. The account was reopened by XXXX after 2 months before the money was given back. It is not fair to say I dont pay when I didnt have the option to pay because there was no balance. I am attaching the response from the finance company as proof.

Company: ZWICKER & ASSOCIATES
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received statements from XXXX XXXX in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX indicating that I owed balances on multiple credit card accounts. On XX/XX/2022, I sent letters to the CFO, of XXXX XXXX, requesting validation that I am responsible for the alleged debt. After not receiving validation as required by 15 USC 1692 ( g ) I sent XXXX XXXX a notice of fault on XX/XX/2022, again requesting validation that the debt belongs to me. I only received letters, calls, and text messages demanding that I pay these debts or suffer negative reporting to credit reporting agencies. I filed an identity theft report with the Federal Trade Commission on XX/XX/2022. I then discovered that Zwicker & Associates who, without contacting me, filed a civil suit in my county regarding this debt. I have not received any notice from Zwicker & Associates requesting payment of the debt, or even notification of the right to ask for validation of this alleged debt. The only reason I found out about the lawsuit is that I received a letter from another third-party offering consultation regarding the court case. I looked up the court case and sure enough, without prior contact, Zwicker & Associates are suing me for the unvalidated alleged debt. If Zwicker & Associates had reached out to me with a debt collection letter modeling the B-1 form required by 12 CFR part 1006 ( Regulation F ) I would have asked them to validate the debt as is my consumer right. I would also have provided the prior correspondence with XXXX XXXX regarding the alleged debt. Finally, I would have provided the FTC identity theft report. After reviewing the CFPB complaints database, I can see that many other consumers have been sued by Zwicker & Associates without prior communication. In fact, it appears that Zwicker & Associates have a reputation for instantly suing consumers without first conducting due diligence to validate debts. It appears that they rely on intimidation tactics, which are the very abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices mentioned by Congress in 15 USC Code 1692. I will be reaching out to Zwicker & Associates to ask them to validate this debt. I will also be reaching out to the Attorney General regarding the consumer harassment by Zwicker & Associates.
