Complaint #1780361 submitted on 02/09/2016 relating to Javitch, Block & Rathbone LLC. Complaint relates to Debt collection Non-federal student loan - False statements or representation Impersonated an attorney or official.
Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Thursday 11th February 2016.
I. Javitch Block and XXXX XXXX sent me a letter XXXX/XXXX/XXXX that they had been retained by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 2 ) notice of opportunity to contact within 30 days to dispute the debt, and 3 ) a statement they are a debt collector. The letter was delivered uncertified. II. I responded on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. In the letter, I asked Javitch Block LLC and XXXX XXXX to validate the debt. The letter stated to respond to a specific Notary Public ( who would verify and validate receipt of said validation ) within 30 days. The letter was sent by certified mail and received by Javitch Block LLC on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. III. I also pulled down my credit report and saw that this debt had been charged off. IV. I was served a lawsuit on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX by Javitch Block LLC and XXXX XXXX regarding this matter. This firm stated they were retained by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. That claim is patently false, since the debt was charged off. If XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was still pursuing this debt, it would not be at this status, so this firm has made a false statement regarding its disposition on this matter. Further, this firm has stated they are a debt collector further down in the letter. This indicates that they obtained this debt as a third party debt collector. The statements made by Javitch Block LLC and XXXX XXXX in the letter are fraudulent and misleading and intended to intimidate. Further, Javith Block LLC nd XXXX XXXX has extended this fraud into court.
