Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: Asset Acceptance claimed in court on XX/XX/XXXX {$11000.00} ... ... Balance as of XX/XX/XXXX {$3300.00}. On behalf of Asset Acceptance, Midland Credit Management ( MCM ) has been garnishing my payroll wages since XX/XX/XXXX. Due to hardship, in XX/XX/XXXX, I filled an appeal against Asset Acceptance and was denied. The Asset Acceptance Representative present in court did not even look at the hardship documents that I brought to court in XX/XX/XXXX. Now due to the pandemic, my work hours have been reduced ; being head of household, I called Asset Acceptance to ask if they would tenatively stop the garnishment until my working hours became regular again, and the answer was no. Due to the dates listed above, Midland Credit Management ( MCM ), on behalf of Asset Acceptance, has been falsely garnishing my wages according to the statute of limitations on credit card debit ; while in court XX/XX/XXXX, they did not present any accout number, nor did they try to contact me prior to the court date. The Asset Acceptance Rep. forced me to go ahead and sign a document although I informed him that I was already under obligation paying a current garnishment ; and could not afford to pay anything else.
