Complaint #1536818 submitted on 08/26/2015 relating to Machol & Johannes, LLC. Complaint relates to Debt collection Non-federal student loan - Taking/threatening an illegal action Sued w/o proper notification of suit.

Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Wednesday 26th August 2015.

Narrative (may be redacted).

In XXXX XXXX, a default judgement for {$16000.00} was granted to XXXX XXXX XXXX against me based on a supposed XXXX debt. In XXXX XXXX, I filed a complaint with the CFPB ( Case number : XXXX ). I contested that this judgment was not obtained legally because I was not served in this matter and was not given the chance to defend myself. I supplied evidence that I was not in XXXX when the process server claims to have personally served me. I have previously submitted an affidavit from my employer and supporting financial documents to CFPB showing that I was in XXXX XXXX, CO ( XXXX miles away ).

After receiving this information, attorney for the plaintiff, Machol and Johannes, did not ask the court to set aside the judgment. Instead they sent me and the court the process server 's field notes. The notes and service affidavit have an inaccurate physical description of me. Not only did the process server lie about serving me personally, she ( or someone with access to this information ), forged my signature on her notes. Whomever signed as me on her field notes made a poor attempt to copy my signature from the XXXX promissory note. I have included my Driver 's license & a lease to show what my signature looks like.
