Counterfeit Product - Helena Bloom

I ordered a dress from an instagram ad on Helena Bloom.com. Weeks later (far longer than typical shipping), a dress arrived that was hugely oversized and poor quality. I submitted a request for refund within the return window on their website, and the business would not give it to me - instead, they kept offering me incremental "discounts" to keep the product that I don't want. Now I can't find the company on social media anywhere. Nor can I find a registered agent or registered address.

Debt Collections - Debt collections call

I received a call from a 954 number and when i didnt answer they called again until i picked up. They asked me if i was home because they were trying to serve me because I was getting charged. Male voice, very persistent and aggressive. They told me they had 30 minutes to find me and serve me and asked if i was home or at work. They told me to call another number so I can work with them so I dont go to court. I call #866-289-2940 and a girl answers. She immediately knows its me and her reason was because she pulled it with my phone number. She transfers me to someone else and a Shenard Stewart states that im being charged for not paying back a debt and i had 30 minutes to work with them or they were going to serve me… very aggressive and nothing made sense. I cancelled my card and hopefully they cant get anything from me.

Debt Collections - Settlement Department

Case File #: *********** Legal Charges-Section 19(A), Clause 21(US). Case Format- Fair Debt Collection Act 811 (FC/SC) Outstanding Balance- $1350.00 Settlement Amount: $850.00 by Today or two payments of $450.00 from Today. Urgent: Please rectify this matter immediately. This letter is to notify you that we have received a Summons of Garnishment on your wages. This means that someone you owe money to has been awarded a judgment by the court for payment of the debt. The court has ordered us your employer to deduct 25-30% percent of your disposable earnings and make payment to the court on your behalf. This is an important letter and requires your immediate attention. Despite sending you several reminders, we have received no response from you about your seriously past due account of $1470.68. We feel we have given you ample time and have been more than patient with you. Therefore, we feel there is no other recourse but to write this debt off of our books by reporting it as a “bad-debt loss” to the I.R.S. Through a 1099-C filing. You can avoid this by remitting payment today for the full amount due. If we do not receive your payment within the next five days, we are going to have to take action. Why am I receiving this notice? The United States, or a State Debt support enforcement agency, certifying its right to garnish your Federal benefits shall attach or include with a garnishment order the following Notice; Garnish wages owed to a Debtor after the Small Claims Court has made an order that you owe money. On February 11th, 2022 we received a garnishment order from a court to [freeze/remove] funds in your account. The amount of the garnishment order was for $1350.00. We are sending you this notice to let you know what we have done in response to the garnishment order. You can contact your creditor for the settlement amount. If you have any questions about the garnishment, you should contact the persons named on the included Summons of Garnishment by email. Please reach out to us immediately if you would like to set up a repayment plan. Do revert back ASAP Thank you, Regards, Patti Davis Settlement Department.

I read on Newsbreak that Peacock customers were getting a price increase. Googled phone number to see if my account was going to increase and got in touch with this  shoun parker - 833-580-0577, and they indicated having two Peacock accounts. I let him know I had one for $10.99 and that Peacock owes me over $500.  Attempted to go through many different vendors, Amazon, Target, to give refund.  When those attempts didn't work, he advised that I would have to go to Dollar General to purchase gift cards to make a payment on my credit card.  Made purchase and gave him numbers, made purchase on credit card and let them know of my scam. Filed a dispute with Capital One for $850.  Opened case with Apple, since it was a gift card.

Received call from “National Survey XXX.” I missed the end of the name. Wasn’t really listening as I was driving and I could tell it was a scam call. The caller asked for me by name. I told the scammer I was not myself and to remove my number from their call list. They kept asking, “Are you sure you’re not her?” In increasingly aggressive tone as I continued to deny I was myself. Caller then switched to threatening that they were outside my house and they knew I owned a red car, which didn’t scare me because you can clearly see my car when pulling up my address on Google Maps, so I hung up. But if I wasn’t skilled in scam detection I would have been freaked out.
