The County of XXXX XXXX is engaged in harassment and intimidation tactics by issuing tickets to law abiding citizens and referring accounts to collection agencies. I am trying to apply for employment and these heavy handed collection practices are prohibiting me from getting hired. I went in front of a judge and agreed to pay the extortion fees assessed against me and was told I would have time to make my payment on line. However, I received a call from a XXXX party collection agency ( AllianceOne ) demanding payment from me on the alleged infraction. The county has other means to enforce collections that should not include reporting my balance to the credit agencies.
