Collected or attempted to collect exempt funds
Complaint: I filed a complaint with CFPB and FTC regarding Hunt & Henriques collection practices. They had sent me a letter alleging that I owe a debt for {$5500.00}. I sent them a letter requesting validation of the debt. They sent me back a letter stating I have no right to ask for validation. Well, that complaint was heard and answered. Today XX/XX/2019 I recieved another letter from Hunt & Henriques stating " RE : NOTICE OF INTENT TO FILE SUIT AND INCUR COURT COSTS '' It states they intend on filing suit against me. This is clearly in retaliation for the complaint which I filed on them XX/XX/XXXX for this same alleged bill of {$5500.00}. They are now threatening me. This is clearly retaliation and harassment. They need to leave me alone. I dont know who they are and I do not owe them anything. I am filing this complaint for documentation of thier abuse. Please advise what I can do. Thank you XXXX XXXX

You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying
Complaint: In early XXXX, I sent XXXX XXXX an email where I told them to cease and desist from calling me and sending certified mail. Despite this, I have been receiving calls from debt collectors working on their behalf, in XXXX. Also, it's come to my attention that XXXX XXXX did a number of illegal things while my account was still open. They were charging me just interest but putting it under cash advances. And when I signed up, they were charging me monthly for credit reporting I didn't want. Both actions have been up in class action suits. With my account limited. I can not provide the best dates. But if they provide all of my records, I can show they over billed me illegally.

Written notification about debt

Debt collection: Credit card debt

Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I wrote a letter to Hunt & Henriques who is apparently working for XXXX ( XXXX credit card ). They had previously sent a letter to me stating I owe {$5500.00}. In my letter to them I requested validity of this alleged debt as well as I stated all documentation sent to my current home address was not valid in XXXX/XXXX because I was not in this home due to a court order. Any information they suggested they sent to me during this time, I never received. Plus due to much desolation, I was prescribed a few XXXX medications and was not myself. So ... I want all the information validated. Well, I received a letter back from Hunt & Henriques stating a bunch of mumbo jumbo legal stuff trying to confuse me stating " XXXX is not a debt collector under federal law. '' And XXXX need not validate the debt. '' And " XXXX is a debt collector under Ca law. '' Then XXXX is expressly exempts original creditors such as XXXX from any validation of requirement. '' At the end of the letter They state " Notwihstanding that XXXX is not required to validate under either federal or state law and that a debtor in NOT AUTHORIZED to request any particular documents as verification or validation of the debt. '' WHAT?? They said I have no authority to ask for validation. I thought it was part of their job. I am disgusted with Hunt & Henriques. They claim to be a law firm ... but I dont know.

Collected or attempted to collect exempt funds
Complaint: I'm XXXX and on Social Security, direct deposited into my bank. In XX/XX/XXXX, I was paying XXXX {$75.00} a month toward XXXX debt. In XX/XX/XXXX I asked them to stop because I could not afford to pay. On XX/XX/XXXX, Hunt & Henriques served me with a lawsuit representing XXXX ( same debt ). Hunt & Henriques tacked on {$690.00} in legal fees and did not deduct what I had paid XXXX I tried to negotiate a settlement with Hunt & Hunriques on XX/XX/XXXX and told XXXX with that firm " no ''. They wanted {$120.00} a month and I told them I could not afford to do that and explained that I am a senior on Social Security. I hired an attorney ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) the next day XX/XX/XXXX, on XX/XX/XXXX the attorney received {$150.00} as a retainer. On XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX Hunt & Henriques took {$120.00} total {$380.00} from my account. My account was paperless, I mistakenly thought the money was going to my attorney as that is what we agreed on. On XX/XX/XXXX I realized that Hunt & Henriques was taking the money fraudulently. I notified my bank and my attorney ( who has done nothing to represent me ). Hunt and Henriques may have gotten my account information from XXXX. I have filed a police report, and Identify Theft Affidavit. Hunt & Henriques returned {$120.00}, they need to return the remainder of {$250.00}. The attorney needs to return the {$150.00} he received. It is obvious that he did not notify Hunt & Henriques he was representing me on XX/XX/XXXX, they should not have been able to take money from my account.

Letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, I responded back to the letter from Attorney XXXX XXXX from Hunt & Henriques, certified mail. I sent a Debt Validation Letter, Cease and Desist, Creditor/Debt Collector Declaration, and Requested Information. Letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, I received in response, attached with it was account statements from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted the office by calling ( XXXX ) XXXX, file number was provided # XXXX, spoke with female represented " collection agent '' at XXXX. I disputed the debt, ask numerous questions about validity, disputed the amount claimed and the represented stated, she will have this reviewed. I ask what documentations she can provide, send to me. I ask how, when, amount she was unable to provide information. I ask to go to the law firm and speak in person she recommended there was no need. Letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, received states : NOTICE OF INTENT TO FILE SUIT AND INCUR COURT COSTS. XXXX , XXXX . Account number ending in XXXX. Balance due as of XX/XX/XXXX : {$6000.00} I contacted the office on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX to dispute the debt and dispute the letter sent by the attorney office. I spoke with representative stating she was a collection representative for a debt collection company. I stated I would like to meet at their office and discuss this debt they claimed I owed. Representative with the initial XXXX stated the account and amount they are attempting to collect has been charged off and they have no further information. I ask her to explain how I owed this amount and questioned the information sent. She stated, what she gave me is all she has from the original creditor. I told her the information is insufficient, incorrect, invalid and does not belong to me, it is not my account. I ask to speak with XXXX XXXX the attorney who sent me the letter. XXXX stated she would have the account reviewed and investigated a letter with details would be provided. I called back again and spoke with collection agent XXXX XXXX and this collection representative claims she's a collection office not attorney office. She stated the account was charged off XX/XX/XXXX. She stated she will have account investigated, due to discrepancies and she was unable to provide any further information. . Letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, This letter prints on the bottom of the page prints, This firm is a debt collector. All other letters NEVER had that printed, but this letter does. In the letter it states, account ending in XXXX does show a previous balance of {$0.00} : however you made no payment to the account. '' I made payments to the account that's why it has a {$0.00} balance. PLEASE SEE ATTACHMENT Statement XX/XX/XXXX account ending XXXX New Balance {$0.00} and Past Due Amount {$0.00}. I can provide proof of payment. My promotional balance of {$2100.00} has been paid account ending XXXX before the promotion expired. The letter states a balance was transferred from another account to a new account ending XXXX. Account ending XXXX has outstanding balance of {$6000.00}, this is NOT my account. This is what I am disputing. The letter this attorney/collection agency is claiming I owe is incorrect, misleading, and contradicting. Hunt & Henriques are using deceptive and unfair tactics.

Complaint: There are two judgments against me. Both debts are old. 1 ) Date of Judgment : XX/XX/XXXX Amount of Judgment : {$11000.00} Current Balance : {$15000.00} I was out of the country from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX. By the time I got the letter for the offer of final payment for {$4800.00}, it was too late. I called the law firm that sent me the letter that this bill is more than 8 years old. They said I was obligated to make payments. 2 ) Date of Judgment : XX/XX/XXXX Amount of Judgment : {$30000.00} For Judgement # 2, XXXX cleared out my checking account back in XX/XX/XXXX. I wasn't aware of the judgment against my bank account until I got a phone call from the law firm Hunt & Henriques. They wiped out the money I saved for my rent and car payment. At that time I had just moved to XXXX, Ca to move my mom in with me and have been supporting her because she's not working due to her poor health. In XX/XX/XXXXmy mom went into retirement due too her health, I lost my job in XX/XX/XXXX due to the recession and since then it was challenging to find work. At the time we all lived in XXXX XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX we were out of the country and in XX/XX/XXXX we moved because we couldn't maintain the rent, with only me working and mom only getting SSI income. I moved to XXXX. Then in XXXX I moved to XXXX. I just learned about these judgments as of XX/XX/XXXX becuause my checking account was emptied out by XXXX. I am still the head of the household and am still supporting my mom. I can not afford to pay these judgments. Is it past the statute of limitations for them to try to collect debt?
