AllianceOne Recievables Management Debt Collection Complaint

AllianceOne Recievables Management Debt collection department,

Other (phone, health club, etc.) Communication tactics Threatened to take legal action Washington

Hello, More than a year ago, I had a few expired tabs tickets with - - in Washington -. This debt was sent to Alliance One, who then contacted my employer and garnished my wages. I paid the total out of the first pay check I received after they corresponded with my boss and her assistant. $300.00 was deducted from my paycheck, which was the total I was told that I owed. Today, I received a packet of documents in the mail saying that I had a court day in one month, in a town other than where I live and that I owed Alliance One $140.00 more dollars. The break down for this amount is a $12.00 filing fee, - for postage/certified mail costs, $100.00 for garnishment attorney fees and $20.00 for other. Do they not have to explain what other '' is? I had not previously received any notice that I owed more money, so the first contact about this amount, was court papers. This seems unfair, to charge me more money again, a year after we have settled and also unfair for them to send me court papers without even contact me first and giving me the chance to clear the situation up. I - do not make much money. I have been saving money to go to college and next week is my last week of work. Although to some people, $140.00 is not much money, to me it is a significant amount of money. i am already stressed about the amount of money I have saved for school and this is an unneeded and inconvenient - that I would have liked to have deal with a year ago. Thanks for any help you can offer! - -
