Consumer Narrative
On XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I received a phone call from the phone number XXXX around XXXX and they left me a voicemail stating they were from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and calling in regards to some legal documents that required my attention. They requested I call back at their direct line for XXXX XXXX ( or XXXX, couldn't hear ) XXXX at phone number XXXX. I called that number and was told that I had missed a court date on XX/XX/XXXX that I was subpoenaed for on XX/XX/XXXX. I said I never received any notice of this and never signed any subpoena papers, and knew I was not available on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Or I could opt for the civil process in which I would post the bonds attached to each citation, see a handwriting analyst to rule in/out my signature on the subpoena, then get my money back. Throughout all of this they had me withdraw money from savings and checking accounts and make cash advances and balance transfers on all my credit cards. Part of this was a {$5500.00} balance transfer on my Discover credit card. Luckily, I figured out it was a financial scam before the balance transfer posted to my account so I was able to call Discover on XX/XX/XXXX and have them reverse the transaction. With that, there was a {$110.00} transfer fee that was charged to my account. I made a few phone calls and attempted to have that money refunded and was told that could not happen.
