Asset Acceptance LLC Legal theft and harrasement Atty Julie A. Rausch Of Rausch,Sturm And Hornick Milwaukee Wisconsin
A month or so ago my wife recieved a phone call from Asset Accetance saying she owed 5k on a citibank card she never had, a month later the call says its now 10k. 3 days ago she recieved a notice of hearing to appear in court for this money judgment. Asset Acceptance will not provide any info on the card or give us any info on what is going on. 2 years ago we took all are cards and paid them off with an equity loan. If we had owed citit bank 5kback then it would have been on the list. Trying to contact them if futile. I called the court and since they paid 256.00 to file a claim she is required to show or lose the judgement and have to pay. We have no idea what to do.

YOU MUST SHOW UP IN COURT....
If you don't they will receive a judgment against you and you WILL owe the money.
As was posted. Show up in court and tell the judge you do NOT owe this debt. DO NOT say that you have no recollection of the debt, but that you do not, now, nor have you ever, owed this money.
Demand that AA show proof of the debt and this means something with your signature on it. Inform the judge they have never verified the debt.
If you don't feel you can do this, get your fanny to a lawyer, ASAP..
Are they saying that just your wife owes the money?? Did they say when the debt was from?
Also as posted DO NOT SPEAK TO THEM ON THE PHONE. MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT, ALL REQUESTS.

Show up. Deny this debt is yours. Should be enough as AA probably has no proof whatsoever you owe this debt.
If they produce some in house affidavit stating the debt is yours (it will be bogus), demand that the person signing this affidavit appear in court and state the basis by which he can make such a claim.
AA will likely slink away.

This is typical of junk debt buyers (JDB). Harrass and intimade and when asked for proof of the debt the JDB gets louder. This should tell you that they have NOTHING. They filed in court hoping you would not show and get a default judgment. If you fight them they will probably cave.
In the meantime, STAY OFF OF THE PHONE. Get everything is writing. Then go to budhibbs.com and debtorboards.com. These two websites have a mountain of info on how to deal with JDB, debt collectors, collection attorneys, etc. They also offer ways to fight back and actually collect money from THEM.
Don't roll over and take it. Fight back!
