Consumer Narrative
I received a subpoena from XXXX XXXX Eaton Group in 2021. I cant remember the date of subpoena because it was destroyed in Hurricane Ida. It took me a days and phone calls to figure out what the debt was from. I told them I was not able to pay after not being able to work XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX They refused any option of a payment plan. I sent a written reply to courthouse every time I received a letter because I did not know what else to do. XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Hurricane Ida damaged my home and I am now XXXX in Florida XXXX XXXX XXXX I called Eaton Group XX/XX/2021 to let them know I was XXXX in Florida and I was not able to write responses to courthouse because I cant get mail if they sent it to that address. I asked the guy on phone what will happen and he said if I dont pay I can go to jail so I asked him if I could make payment arrangements with him for monthly payments and he said his office is no longer on this case it was moved to another firm out of state. He did not give me a name for who was handing the case but he said Eaton was no longer handling it. Now I find out he lied about that, they are still the ones handling it. Also the XXXX number that was given on a letter to resolve is not a working number. I will have to send in paperwork on a later date. I am in XXXX XXXX XXXX Florida and my was is gutted paperwork was ruined with water from storm so it will be a while before I can locate any paperwork. The company hangs up phone on me when I call.
