| Complaint What Happened |
I am opening another complaint again Cawley & Bergmann , LLC. My previous complaint ( Complaint ID XXXX ) was " resolved '' when Cawley and Bergmann uploaded a letter intended for a different person for a completely separate complaint. I am not surprised to find that they have multiple complaints against them, and this further proves their lack of professionalism and follow through to make sure they are dealing with the correct person. Back between the years of XXXX my name was used in an online Ponzi scheme called XXXX XXXX XXXX In XXXX I received a letter from a debt collection agency Cawley and Bergmann LLC supposedly to collect a court ruled fine. They only ever contacted me by mail. I continued to receive letters periodically. They showed up in different envelopes, printed differently, and different looking letterheads. They did not look official or professional in any way. The letters talked about my involvement in a Ponzi scheme I had never heard of, and a court case I had also never heard of nor been subpoenaed for. To date I have never received any court documents of any kind proving my involvement. I assumed the letters were a scam. At the end of XXXX of this year I received a letter from the local sheriff 's department stating that the above listed debt collector was using them to enforce the collection. I contacted Cawley and Bergmann and tried to get more information stating I was not involved and have not been shown any proof of the contrary. They told me to XXXX it and that they could not help me. When I suggested that someone else had used my name, they did not care that it was even a possibility. In May I received notification from my payroll department that the sheriff is enforcing a garnishment of my wages to pay for this debt that is not mine. I have recently filed an identity theft claim ( reference # XXXX ) and now a second complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I have never been provided any proof of my involvement other than my name listed in a PDF on a random website. Someone either used my name to create an account on this XXXX XXXX website, or it is possible this was something done by my late father with whom I share my name. Either way I should not be forced to pay for this court fine. I am also continuing to seek legal advice in this matter.

| Complaint What Happened |
ON XX/XX/2018 I received a call from XXXX. A woman was on the line. very polite, noting the call was being recorded and asking if she was speaking with XXXX XXXX ( although I already answered the phone, " XXXX XXXX '' speaking ) and providing a " birth date '' asking me to confirm. I asked her what it was about and refused to confirm information. She then put me on the phone with the Manager " XXXX '' who also started out trying to be polite and stating that he understood why I would not give out or confirm information. But when I refused and stated that anything they needed to they could send in the mail, he stated they already had ( I have not received anything from any debt collectors nor their company Cawley an Bergman ). I stated that if i had received anything it clearly was not important. XXXX then made a derogatory comment regarding my inability to see debt as being important.
1. I have not received any correspondence from this company 2. I do not have any outstanding debts that I am aware of.
The statement made by XXXX was harassing, derogatory and unnecessary to the alleged debt collection process, certainly to someone he has not even confirmed he is speaking with. It also violates the FDCPA.
I am reporting this so that I can ensure this company never contacts me again, but also so that the company can be aware of their agents ' practices that violate federal law.
I believe that many of the people they contact are not retired attorneys and would not know their rights and could be subject to these same violations, unnecessarily.

| Complaint What Happened |
I am being wrongfully pursued by a debt collector Crawley & Bergmann about a federal judgment made against the net winners of XXXX ( Bell vs. Disner ). They are threatening to put a lien on me if I do not pay. I have no association with this website. My ss # was stolen to open an account with them.
The steps I have already taken : 1. Opened a police report 2. Filed with identitytheft.gov 3. Frozen my credit I have also sent the debt collectors all the reports as well as a letter stating that they have the wrong person. Regardless, they continue to harass me for payment because of the judgment.I basically need the judgment vacated due to identity theft/mistaken identity.

I am having trouble verifying this debt because it is about 7 years old. I have also been contacted by multiple different third party collection agencies which is making it hard to understand where the debt lies, and I also believe is prolonging the negative debt reporting on my credit report.

They call back to back and say following previous letters which I have not received regarding an important business matter. I have nothing in collections at this time. I've been the victim of identity theft several times. I want them to stop or send me something in writing.
