Consumer Narrative
I had medical debt that was sold to the debt collector, XXXX XXXX XXXX in Oregon. Original amount was $ XXXX. I was never notified of any intent to sue. In XXXX, I was informed there would be a garnishment of my wages and provided a paper that stated they had received a judgement against me back in XXXX. I was NEVER notified of this intent to sue or the outcome of the judgement. I lived at the same residence from XXXX until XXXX so there is no excuse for this. Additionally, when I called them to ask- they stated they served my Husband on behalf of me- in XX/XX/XXXX. This also did not happen. When pressed further on a specific date and location of when they served him- the call suddenly became dead air and I waited on the line for a while before ultimately disconnecting the call. This judgement was almost double the amount originally owed. Recently I had to pay off the full amount for a loan purpose- and they did not inform my employer that they had collected the full amount until after I had been garnished again and overpaid by almost {$500.00}. I had to call and insist they email my payroll to correct this. During this time I was also informed that they had been charging a 9 % interest rate which ultimately resulted in paying nearly {$1000.00} more than the original judgement.
