Approximately 12 years ago I had an outstanding debt with XXXX. The total debt was less than {$4000.00}. It remained on my credit report and the day before it was due to come off my credit report, I received notification from Pressler & Pressler that they had purchased the debt which was then over {$7000.00} after they tacked on interest, fees and court costs. I filed an answer to their court documents and we made a payment arrangement of $ 100 monthly. That continued for approximately 2-3 years. I paid more than the original amount owed. Per my conversation with them today they were aware of my new address. I received no correspondence from them since 2013, nothing requesting payment, at all. I assumed since I had received nothing, the debt had been satisfied. Friday I received my paycheck and it was garnished for {$200.00}, XXXX % of my income. I was not made aware of this beforehand, just 2 years later, out of the blue, they take my money. They are saying I still owe over {$4100.00}. This is robbery. I have checked online and they have had numerous complaints and suits filed against them for these unethical practices. Why should I have to pay double for a debt that was never owed to them in the first place. The money is not even going to the original debtor. This should be against the law. I am the only source of income for my household and I am already struggling. With them taking {$400.00} a month from my pay I can not pay my rent. They had ample time to contact me in reference to this debt and nothing for two years. I realize not that this was intentional. If the3re is any way possible to stop this garnishment, that is the objective, even if it means going back in front of a judge.
