I got a letter from my bank XXXX XXXX XXXX back in XX/XX/XXXX. Stating that a company named : Mel S Harris was trying to garnish my checking and whatever accounts I have. XXXX stated that my income deposited is from social security XXXX, and by law they can not do their action. 

About a few days later. Mel S Harris contacted me, stating that they have a judgement on me. And I must pay them, or they will keep garnishing my accounts. Mind you, i never received a letter or summons, to appear in court. When I mentioned to this the debt collector. She said they sent it, and it 's my problem that i did n't get it. and since the judge ruled in their favor. I must pay the debt. 

I did some research on my state 's court website. And yes they got a default judgement on myself. I also googled this company. And i found a lot of complaints from various people, around the USA. 

I also read some press releases from my attorney general at the time, XXXX XXXX from New York State. He stated that debt collection agencies who got judgements. Used illegal tactics to attain them. Mel s Harris - was caught and sued for not serving clients with summonses. But claim they did. Also a mass class action lawsuit was filed against them in court. Which they lost in XX/XX/XXXX of this year. Below are the website links, in regard to this company : XXXXXXXXhere is the decision by XXXX v. XXXX XXXX heard in XXXX XXXX Court : XXXX : XXXX i attached a file from the FTC in regards to the lawsuit .
