I received a XXXX letter ( not certified ) from XXXX XXXX in NY stating my wages were being garnished for an XXXX debt from XX/XX/XXXX and judgement was filed against me in XX/XX/XXXX and never seen any correspondence because I have never lived at the address stated on the judgement. I called XX/XX/XXXX fraud department and they have nothing under my Social Security number for the cell number they gave or anything from XX/XX/XXXX. I called the law firm and they sent a notice to XXXX to withhold from garnishment. I called Social Security and claimed Identity theft and was sent an affidavit to fill out and get a police report. I called the law firm back and they will not speak to me unless a law firm is representing me. The collection agency is Palisades Collection LLC and the law firm is XXXX in NY. My credit reports no such judgement against me that was filed.
