Complaint #1572316 submitted on 09/21/2015 relating to P&L Acquisitions LLC. Complaint relates to Debt collection I do not know - Disclosure verification of debt Right to dispute notice not received.
Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Wednesday 23rd September 2015.
My interaction includes multiple violations, but I was only able to choose one. A representative from P & L Acquisitions contacted a relative with whom I have never lived, never used as a contact address, and posed as an employee of the local courthouse. He claimed that he was looking for me, because a summons was going to be delivered to my relative 's address the following day. He stated that she needed to get a message to me informing me of this information and that I needed to contact a toll-free number that he provided to her in order to resolve the matter. My relative was able to reach me. She told me that the caller disclosed details of the alleged debt, as well as harassed her with threatening language, and he told her that he was a courthouse employee and that he was at the courthouse at that time. The number on her caller ID showed the XXXX County Courthouse number, but the number did not originate from the courthouse. I called the toll-free number that was given to her, and a man answered with a greeting of " Corporate office. '' I asked for the name and address of the company, which he provided as P & L Acquisitions. I also contacted the courthouse, as well as the Sheriff 's Department, and they denied that anyone from there contacted or was looking for me. A representative from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX fraudulently posed as a courthouse employee in order to threaten me. The next day, I received a letter from the company, signed by XXXX XXXX " Legal Administrator. '' The letter untruthfully stated that I had ignored previous attempts to resolve this matter, which is absolutely not true, because I have never received any communication from them, and there is no information in the letter to identify what this matter is about. The letter is designed to look like an official legal document. It threatens to obtain a judgment against me without even suggesting that I have a right to dispute their claim. There is nothing about an original creditor or other identifying information. There is no disclosure stating that I have the right to dispute. There is no proof that they are licensed to practice in my state. The letter also states that they may file a lawsuit against me which would result in a judgment entered against me. That 's not how it works. This letter is yet another example of illegal collection practices that this company has willfully chosen to take.
