Complaint: Levy & Assoc. have been harassing me for over a year. They claim that I owe Ohio Sales Taxes. They claim they found my name listed with a business that I have NO knowledge of. I tried to explain to them that they have the wrong person and the e response was why are you so upset then? They call me all day everyday from several different phone numbers. Today I opened my mailbox to find XXXX different letters for XXXX different accounts. I feel they chose me because of my past credit issues which I have never disputed. This however is totally different because it 's an absolute lie! It 's a travesty that they would be allowed to virtually terrorize someone on a daily basis just because he has had financial issues in the past. They have told me that the State Of Ohio is after me, this after I just moved out of the State. I have never been in sales and I ca n't possibly owe Ohio any Tax. Instead of finding real culprits, they have settled for a XXXX and if I did have the money they are accusing me of I would hire a lawyer and sue them to no ends for the pain and embarrassment they have caused me!

Problems when you are unable to pay

Consumer Loan: Installment loan

Complaint: I received a collection letter from Levy Associates LLC of a debt that does not exist. I requested information on this debt and they could not provide it to me. They sent me a copy of a Judgement dated 20 years ago and they sent it a couple of months after the collection letter was sent. The last time I looked at my credit bureau report the debt was not there. I am making this report so that someone knows that these people are committing fraud.

Attempted to collect wrong amount
Complaint: After receiving a collection letter from the Debt Collector XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) I sent a letter requesting verification that they are in fact collecting on behalf of said creditor, and proof of the amount of the debt they are attempting to collect on. They responded by filing a lawsuit without providing verification of the debt, a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act. The amount of the debt is substantially different from the amount owed to said creditor. If they are acting on behalf of said creditor they should be able to provide proof that they have the legal authority to collect on the debt, i.e assignment of debt or purchase agreement.
