Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Threatened to contact someone or share information improperly — Talked to a third-party about your debt
Company: The Leviton Law Firm, Ltd.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
After receiving a letter claiming to be from a debt collector, I responded, asking them to validate the debt. I also requested that they conduct all future business with me by mail. I have tracking information for this letter and proof that it was received and signed for. 

While I was preparing that letter, I received word from a former coworker. This coworker sent me a string of emails from the debt collector, sent to him, about my supposed debt. These emails contained my name, address, account numbers, and the amount of debt the collector claimed to own. The debt collector continued to contact my coworker even after he responded, telling them that they were reaching out to the wrong person. 

In my letter to the debt collector, I specifically told them to stop contacting my former coworker and provided correct contact information. However, after the letter was delivered and signed for by the debt collector, they continued to contact him. 

Earlier today, I received a phone call from my father. The same debt collection agency contacted him, informing him about the same non-validated debt and threatening legal action against me. They did not simply request my contact information but explicitly disclosed the debt and threatened legal action. 

Other than a single letter threatening legal action, the collection agency has made no attempt to validate that they own any of my debt and has constantly violated my privacy by contacting third parties.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> GreenSky withdrew {$130.00} from my checking account through an ACH transaction. I did not request the loan. I have talked to a representative at GreenSky. Their best guess is that someone took out a loan and accidentally gave them numbers that correspond to my account and/or phone number. I informed the GreenSky representative that I found that unlikely and that I was aware of their history of fraud. 
My bank has opened a fraudulent claim for the withdrawal.
