Complaint #1326478 submitted on 04/12/2015 relating to Mary Jane M. Elliott, P.C. Attorneys At Law. Complaint relates to Debt collection I do not know - Taking/threatening an illegal action Threatened to sue on too old debt.
Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Sunday 12th April 2015.
I received notice of a hearing from the attorney for a motion to renew judgment on a very old debt.
The attorney is : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MI XXXX Phone XXXX Fax XXXX.
I ca n't recall why this amount was owed, etc. and it was never explained to me. I knew from ten years ago that a judgment was made and unfortunately I was unable to attend the hearing because I was moving from my original address in XXXX, MI at the time. I am now living in XXXX County and the hearing is in XXXX County. I received notice from the State of Michigan that she seized my Michigan State tax return in XXXX.
The upcoming hearing is XXXX miles away from my home residence, of which Mary Jane Elliot et. al is well aware. The notice is dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX and I did n't receive it until XXXX XXXX, XXXX, so I have n't been given adequate time to prepare a legal defense.
They are also charging me {$960.00} in interest on a {$690.00} balance for a total of {$1600.00}. I feel this amount is ridiculous, especially since I never acknowledged this debt and the statute of limitations has run out long ago.
I feel that ten years of having my credit report ruined and fear of the unjust actions of this firm for a false debt is more than adequate a price to pay. They have done nothing to provide proof of the debt or get my voluntary acceptance of it. This is the first I have heard from them in years. The original judgment was in XXXX.
As Mary Jane Elliot et. al must be aware, I have limited resources to respond to her lawsuit. At the very least she should be suing me in a court near my residence not somewhere I have n't lived in a decade.
The case number is XXXX in the XXXX District Court before the Honorable XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX.
In closing, I would like to comment about the importance of protections to safeguard the rights of consumers from the unethical actions of creditors such as Mary Jane Elliot et. al.
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
