Complaint #1610626 submitted on 10/16/2015 relating to Schachter Portnoy, L.L.C.. Complaint relates to Debt collection Credit card - Taking/threatening an illegal action Sued w/o proper notification of suit.
Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Friday 16th October 2015.
I received a letter from the law firm Schacter Portnoy dated XXXX XXXX, 2015 that have been retained by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to collect on an amount due from Original Creditor, XXXX XXXX Bank.
I have never received any communication from XXXX prior to receiving the letter from Schacter. From what I have come to learn this is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
I believe Schacter Portnoy has also violated the FDCPA as I responded to their initial letter within the 30 days and instead of responding to my letter, they filed a lawsuit, responding to my letter two days after receiving the lawsuit.
I am in the process of responding to a Motion For Summary Judgment as the law firm has not responded to my requests for discovery such as copies or proof of any communication attempts by XXXX to contact me.
I have requested proof from Schacter Portnoy proving they have been retained by XXXX to collect the debt other than the law firm stating so on their letterhead.
I will attach correspondence at this time and will assist you in all ways possible.
