I have a collection account with XXXX XXXX University, for tuition owed for classes they claim I did not formally withdraw from in time during XX/XX/XXXX. The amount of this debt showing on my XXXX XXXX credit report is {$1700.00}, as reported directly by XXXX XXXX University, on XX/XX/XXXX. 

The law firm now handling the collection, Keith D. Weiner & Assoc. Co. LPA , is claiming I owe over {$2700.00}, due to " collection costs. '' They claim the initial balance with XXXX XXXX University was {$1600.00}. 

I disputed their claimed balance amount with them, based on the balance amount XXXX XXXX is reporting to XXXX XXXX. 

A representative for Keith D. Weiner & Assoc. Co. LPA , using the alias " XXXX XXXX '' ( XXXX ext. XXXX ) said his firm will just " file a summons, '' " get a judgment, '' and " garnish my wages when I do get a job '' per our telephone conversation on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX EST. 

Prior to this, he made similar threats, such as on Friday, XXXX XXXX at XXXX. 
Prior to even attempting to call my personal phone, XXXX XXXX called my part-time employer on XX/XX/XXXX at approximately XXXX, and spoke to the owner of the company. 

On the same day, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX called my personal phone at XXXX. 

The amount Keith D. Weiner & Assoc. Co. LPA , claim I owe has now been inflated by 65 % ( {$2700.00} vs. {$1600.00} ). 

The collection tactics they are using and their inflated amount they claim I owe, may be in violation of Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
