There are many areas that my complaint fits under. 

Company 1st contacted me on XXXX regarding a debt I did not initially believe was mine. I thought it was a scam and asked them to send me something in writing before I would communicate with them. They told me that I must set up a payment arrangement right then or they would take legal actionOn XXXX the company contacted my employer and identified themselves to " verify my employment '' then they contacted me, since I had not received anything by mail, I again stated I wanted something in writing before I would discuss anything with them. I also told them I was recording our phone calls ( legal in Oregon XXXX, they got upset and hung up on me. 

XXXX I sent a certified letter asking them to validate this debt. 

XXXX I received XXXX letters, one with a summary of the debt and one that indicated that they had contacted my lawyer and threatening legal action. 

XXXX. I received the information on the validation of debt that stated I had XXXX days to dispute the debt. 

XXXX They filed a claim in XXXX XXXX court. 

I have now realized this is my debt from my daughter and there was some confusion between me and my ex husband, I have no problem that I paid the original {$220.00} debt, what my issue is, is that my rights under FCDPA were clearly violated and I had to pay and additional {$93.00} of " fees '' because they filed a lawsuit before they gave me a chance to dispute the debt. In addition they contacted my employment and since I work XXXX I am aware they have done that with other employees as well.
