Description

Hoffstein & Associates pretended to be a debt collector for citi bank. They had all of my information my SSN, date of birth, my address and even my mortgage company. Which said they “we will be putting a lien on to collect the debt”. They said that they made multiple attempts to contact me via mail and this was the last attempt. We went back and forth for a while on a payment arrangement every payment plan I would suggest I could do they would reject it. Finally the lady go me on the phone with her so called payment processing department. Which took an initial $329.97 and I would have payments for the next 19 months for $315 until it was paid off. A month later yesterday I looked all day to see when they would debit that amount. Around 3:45pm est on 4/15/2025. I called several times to multiple numbers that were given but no response and still no even today. Please be aware! I’m in my 30’s you don’t have to be old to be a victim.
