Consumer Narrative
Company foster and Garbus LLP send me a letter saying I was being sued sometimes at the beginning of XXXX, around XXXX of XXXX I send a certified letter asking for information in regards to the debt they accused me of owing, the bills I was sent did not belong to me it had someone else complete information. I am being harassed by this company and threatened to be sued. I requested information again they did not provide and threatened to sue. Finally, when they send me information did not add up to what they are accusing me of. They ask me to send my current information but I believe this is a tactic to use it against me as multiple times they did not send me accurate information but once I gave them more information they use it against me. They are saying my current driver 's license was used to open and online account in XXXX that's not possible and the information they send me is not from that year. They are unable to provide me with any information and continue to harass and threaten me
