Debt collection: Non-federal student loan

Frequent or repeated calls
Complaint: This company has called me repeatedly and I believe has put my phone number on call lists of various marketers and vendors so that I get many recorded messages trying to sell me something. I have applied for a total and complete discharge regarding my brothers student loan and his severe XXXX has not been taken into account at all. I requested an audience or to speak with the client for mediation on the debt and they said no the client will not speak with me. My father paid {$150.00} every month for several months resulting in about {$8000.00} paid and the balance of the loan was not affected much and now that I have not been able to afford to pay it, the balance is greater than the original balance. They offered to settle for {$12000.00} within three days of the request, and said I could pay {$100.00} a month with {$30.00} going to the principal and {$70.00} going to pay interest. I said that does n't help me get out of debt and they made no effort to help me. Thank you for any help you can lend me.

False statements or representation

Debt collection: Credit card

Attempted to collect wrong amount
Complaint: Comenity bank was attempting to collect a debt of mine that was from a credit card from XXXX 's. I got a letter in the mail saying Weltman , Weinberg & Reis Co. , LPA will be representing the current creditor ( Comenity ) for this debt. On XXXX XXXX 2016, I called Weltman , Weinberg & Reis Co. , LPA to discuss payment options and I set up an agreement that I would pay {$220.00} per month. Confirmation number : XXXX I called on XXXX XXXX, 2016 to pay my second payment and the woman on the telephone said that my balance is {$920.00}. This could not be possible because my original balance was {$1000.00}. If you take that number and subtract {$220.00} that equals {$800.00}. So, even though I paid them the monthly payment we agreed on, they only subtracted {$100.00} from my balance. I have attached documents to show my bank statement that shows my payment of {$220.00} on XXXX XXXX as well as all of the correspondence from the XXXX companies, most notably the past XXXX statements that indicate the original balance and the incorrect current balance. I had agreed to terms with this company to monthly payments and now they are threatening me because I have not paid that they are going to take additional steps against me. I refuse to pay this company any additional funds because I feel I am at risk of being taken advantage of.

Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed

Debt collection: Credit card

Debt resulted from identity theft
Complaint: I was contacted by a deceptive debt collector Weltman , Weinberg & Reis about a debt they had purchased from a XXXX. I disputed the debt and asked for validation but only received a summon and complaint of which I did answer. I never received a notice to appear in court, however I did receive a letter from the courts where a session was held on XXXX XXXX where the motion for their default judgement they were seeking were denied. This deceptive debt collector somehow got a default judgment on XXXX XXXX, XXXX without my knowledge. They went a step further and submitted to garnish my wages on from my employer without my knowledge. I immediately filed an objection to the garnishment and filed a motion to set aside the judgement because this debt collector has violated every rule put in place by the FDCPA. I have submitted a affidavit of fraud and a police report all of which they requested only to be sent a letter from Weltman , Weinberg & Reis stating that their client had completed it 's review and research and has found the account to be valid. I asked exactly when did the debt occur and was told by the attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX the debt was made on XXXX but when speaking with the CRA 's they have verified that the debt was made in XXXX, and the debt collector has only submitted statements dating back to XXXX of which I have found XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX has made several inquiries on my credit report. They have submitted statements to me that says this card had a {$5900.00} credit limit, but is stating that I owe {$8100.00}. It is clear that they bought this debt because the card had a balance over {$7000.00} with a 24.99 % APR and they have listed the minimum payment was only {$63.00}. I also received from Weltman, Weingberg & Reis a status report pursuant to service members civil relief act that states XXXX XXXX as of XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I have never been in the military and do not know why they would send me a copy of this. It is clear that they are trying to strong arm into owing this debt. They are taking over {$400.00} every two weeks from my pay for a debt that was disputed, and a debt that they have not provided proof of anything bearing my signature only statements that they are trying to pass off as an agreement. This has been done deliberately and intentional because after asking for a affidavit of fraud and a police report they still came back to say the debt is mine. This debt collector has not a shred of conscience, because what part of identity theft do they not get, and what more can a person do when a police report is filed and a fraud affidavit is given which is why the acts that they are doing is deliberate.

Debt is not mine
Complaint: The city of XXXX, Ohio has now sent a collection amount to debt collection attorneys Weltman , Weinberg & Reis XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for a debt proven through bankruptcy lawyers that I do not owe. I lived in the city of XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX in which they are stating I owe taxes for XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX in which those years I resided in XXXX, Ohio. The attorney office at the time which was XX/XX/XXXX sent proof of address to the city of XXXX to verify I only resided there for one year. I was evicted out of the place I resided at in XXXX and move back to XXXX. The city of XXXX prove my residence by sending statements to all XXXX addresses. So not only did the attorneys supply proof but also the city of XXXX.
