    On OCTOBER 31, 2022. I logged on to my online banking app,, Both of my checking and savings account were DEBITED to a zero balance . I called the bank and learned that a Judgement from Pressler was put in place for a debt I was not aware of. The bank gave me the court docket number, I called the court and learned that a Judgement was put in place in 2017, I looked at case on ** courts w docket number the bank gave me. Pressler mailed a court order ( according to info on ** Courts.gov in 2017, and in 2022,) to an address I didn't live at. It was sent regular mail and certified~ as per information on nj courts someone at that address signed my name. Apparently there was a court hearing that I wasn't aware of because I NEVER GOT A LETTER For a JUDGEMENT NOR DID I SIGN FOR IT. PRESSLER took all of my money.. The money in my account was from child support Pressler never contacted me about this debt, they mailed a judgment to wrong address and someone fraudulently signed my name. As a result of this fraudulent error all of my bills that are set on auto pay will not go through, and my rent will be late I don't have money to purchase nessisities. Please remove this Judgement **** and return money that was wrongfully taken from me

    On October 26, 2022, I noticed that one of my balances went up by $100 with Pressler. I don't find this surprising because they never include balances on correspondence. When they call my home, they always call, let the phone ring once, and hang up. Then they claim that they attempted to contact you with no return call. This company seems to have numerous unethical business practices. I've never seen a collection account raise in price by $100 in the matter of one month.

    Without more details, I am uncertain which of the two open files you have you are referring to.   But it appears you are referring to an increase in balance caused by ************************* Such increase proper once a court officer is involved. Please see ** law.

    Pressler, ************* I was sent a subpoena to answer within 14 days, never received any notice from them before and an option to to make a payment on allege debt. I had health insurance around the time of the debt was filed against me for non pay. I could have made small monthly payments on an old debt but was not notified by them that I had this debt or offer a payments plan neither the offer to supply them with insurance proof. This seems very shady to me and I need proof of said debt which i am being accused of owing.

    this company has put a lien on my home with a false amount owed. I have all my receipts and a court paper stating I owe $634.78 in July 25, 2016 and they told the court I owe $5246.91 in 2022. That dollar amount is the amount owed when ******************* had the collection. I called the credit card company and it was written off. This debt is 15 years old.

    There is no communication that I saw which sates the balance id that high.  We sent a payoff letter to ***************** Services 2/3/22 with a balance due of $652.98.  We will now send a new letter directly to you and will provide the remaining balance.

    [A default letter is provided here which indicates your acceptance of the business's response.  If you wish, you may update it before sending it.]

    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. Please submit the payoff at your earliest convenience. The lien that was presented and showed up on my credit report states $5246.91 is what I owe.

    Pressler, ************* I was making small monthly payments on an old debt but due to financial difficulties I notified them that I had to discontinue the payments. They informed me they had placed a lien on the mobile home i live in. I requested to speak to a supervisor since I do not own the mobile home and they refused, then saying if I don't own it i should ignore it. I emailed them to request a letter stating there was no lien on the mobile home and they have not responded. I want something in writing stating if they put a lien on the mobile home it needs to be removed because they can't legally put a lien on property I don't own. This seems very shady to me and I need proof that there is no lien on this property

    This company is threatening me saying I owe them $1,235.11 unfortunately the Federal Law the **** was never attached to the original credit account which is **************** During the Pandemic the world shut down, I had sent in dozens of times active duty orders to them and they never attached them to my account. That ************* member relief act protects me, my children and my husband even IF they are not on account. Its a Federal Law they didnt follow. Credit one never called me back I have call records from my phone of how many dozens of times I called and left messages with no return calls back of anyone helping me. I never have had a problem with any other credit companies appropriately attracting it to my account, I owe credit one $235 not the $1000.00 in fees. You need to send this immediately back to Credit one Bank and stop threatening me because you are not professional nor is your harrasment Legal to me. I will press charges against your company if I do not hear back promptly with a resolution!

    I am rejecting this response because: this is not a debt due. Please provide original documentation to me from what your calling my original debt. You did not attach the Scra to my account and I will not pay fees involved thats illegal for you to do to service members. You need to properly address this matter as it requires immediate response, not your fake threat. Please show all debt original copies it will show that I do not owe this money!
