Encore Capital Group Debt Collection Complaint

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

Encore Capital Group Debt collection department,

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

This company came after my husband many years ago about this dept. He tried to settle with the help of a lawyer. They would not settle. many years later they came after me. I had no knowledge of what had happened. My husband told me to ignore this company he was dealing with them. The next thing I know they are calling me to court, I went to the courts and explained that this was not my dept and it was my husbands, the judge allowed $300.00 a pay garnishment from my pay, $600.00 a month. I told them I have my mom living with me and kids, I would lose my car and my job without a car. I had to share my insulin with my mom because I could n't afford to help her out when they took the first - then pay - to file bankruptcy. I had to stop them from taking my money at this amount. After going over everything I decided not follow through with the bankruptcy, I could not pay off my other debts because of this one. I had good credit up until this happened. I have tried to have this resolved and got nothing but hassled garnished my wages, I had to endure humiliating moments that had me in tears, missing work and sharing my medication so my mom would not get sick. This company showed up out of nowhere demanding all this money, we have asked for proof. They gave us no solid proof and did not work with my husband many years ago and now they have caused me personal problems. Like I said earlier, my credit score will speak for itself. before this happened my credit was good and now I have bankruptcy even though I did not go through with it, I ca n't become what I hate and - over other companies to get out of this problem. I am hoping somehow you can help me and others from this company.
