However, when I called, - told me that they do n't have anything to do with a judgement because they are not an attorney 's office. When I explained he can not collect anything without a judgement, he started raising his voice and stated that a judgement has nothing to do with debt collections. He stated that I ran up a bill, and I did n't pay it, so they will start garnishing my wages if I do not agree to pay. When I stated that this was not legal, he responded


well, this conversation is going nowhere, so I 'm hanging up now, '' and hung up in my face! To make matters worse, this debt is not even mine. I 've informed all the credit reporting bureaus, and have asked Stoneleigh Recovery for a fraud packet -, and still have not received anything in the mail, except for another notice about garnishing my wages. There was no judgement ; just a typed letter. Whenever I try to call, the associates always transfer me to - -, who is engaging in rude and illegal behavior. I feel like they 're trying to intimidate me ; it is unlawful for a consumer to ask for a fraud packet, and not hear anything back! I feel like the company is biding their time trying to pass a judgement, and they wo n't even verify the debt!
