Complaint narrative:
With served papers to my home on XX/XX/XXXX to approximately XXXX XXXX. Date of letter from lawyer says XX/XX/XXXX, and stating I have 30 days to answer complaint, when already 9 days are gone. This was a debt with XXXX XXXX, which they chose to discharge around XX/XX/XXXX. Prior to this, had entered a payment agreement with found but they did not uphold their end by showing the debt paid as agreed. Now portfolio recovery is claiming they own the debt and are looking for a default judgment without allowing me time to answer their complaint.

I've out of work since XXXX of last year due to health and am now strictly on XXXX, there is absolutely no way I can afford to pay this debt. So not only do I have a debt on my credit report from a collection agency, but I also have the charge off from XXXX XXXX . So it feels like I am being penalized twice for the same debt. I asked portfolio recovery to prove that they owe this debt, as XXXX has already discharged this debt.

Company: LJ Ross Associates
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX billed me for a service that should not have been performed. It was an annual visit. I refused to pay the bill, called and talked to multiple people and departments for the longest time. They didnt care. Wrote it off and send it to collections. 

XXXX  - LJ Ross Associates tried collecting the debt from me for some time. I explained what happened and eventually they stopped contacting me or sending bills. It dropped off my credit report. 

XXXX  - I went in for a visit on XXXX to have X-rays done. They had me prepay {$190.00}. I did, and then I received an explanation of benefits from insurance saying that I owe {$160.00}. I called and said I overpaid, and the lady said she would issue a refund back to the card. Not seeing it a week later - I called and a different person told me it was used to pay a debt to LJ Ross Associates. 

This seems a bit unethical! They wrote the debt off to LJ Ross Associates over 3 years ago, but are collecting FOR them? XXXX doesnt even show this bill in their system for me any longer. How is this ethical? 

I called XXXX billing again to ask about this, and another person told me she couldnt say anything. Couldnt tell me how much, and wont give me a receipt for the funds that they took from me to pay toward whatever LJ has. I know she knew what was going on. This is shady and fraudulent.
