SquareTwo Financial Corporation Debt Collection Complaint

Credit card Taking/threatening an illegal action attempted to/collected exempt funds

SquareTwo Financial Corporation Debt collection department,

Credit card Taking/threatening an illegal action Attempted to/Collected exempt funds Florida

I was sent an unsolicited credit card from - - - -/-/-. Shortly after, I was laid off from my job due to the economy and was unable to find a job for over a year so I used the card for gas & food during that time. I soon fell behind in the payments and most of the card debt was late payments and penalties. Unfortunately I had moved and I forgot about it when I started working again. CACH LLC bought the debt years later and sued me. I tried to explain my circumstances, that I was in school and did not make very much money and that I owned nothing. I 'm still driving the - Impala that mother bought me when I was in high school. They refused to listen and threatened & intimidated me into signing an agreement to pay $75.00 a month which I knew I could n't afford, but I had never had any dealings with the law so I was scared and thought I had to sign it. When I could n't pay it, they sued me. I know I have to pay it and I have been sending them $25.00 a


catch up on my rent since then,. But I started paying the $25.00 a month again then. But in -/-/-, CACH froze my bank account and took my last $190.00 out which meant I had no money for food and gas for over a week. When I read up on Florida Garnishment Rules, I saw that they are not supposed to be able to garnish a person 's salary if they make below a certain level and that includes their bank account if it can be proved that the money was income. The only money going into my bank account was my salary. I have tried to talk to them several times and even had my mother call them because I 'm not very informed about these matters, but they only say they are trying to collect a debt for their customer and wo n't agree to a lessor payment. It is not for a lot of money, only about $2500.00 but I do n't have it and neither does my mother. She lost our house to - - - in -/-/- and we have both been trying to recover since then. We ca n't even afford a lawyer to fight them and feel like we are victims of the law and have no recourse against this unscrupulous company. We will pay the debt but we need time. I have told them that as soon as I can pay more I will increase the amount. But I need enough money for rent, food and gas so i can work and i do n't make much more than that. I would like to pay it in full now but there is no way i can do so. ( My Mother is writing this for me as I 'm not knowledgeable about these things ).
