Complaint Review: Paul J. Hooten & Associates

THIS SCAM ARTIST HAS PLACED A HOLD ON MY CHECKING ACCOUNTS WITH A "RESTRAINING NOTICE". THE RESTRAINING NOTICE CONTAINS INFORMATION ABOUT A SUPPOSED JUDGMENT THAT WAS PLACED AGAINST ME IN 12/2000 - WHEN I WAS 18!!!! UPON RESEARCHING THE COURT LISTED AND THE INDEX NUMBER, I WAS HORRIFIED TO DISCOVER THAT THE COURT LISTED HAS NO SUCH JUDGMENT AND THE INDEX NUMBER IS A FRAUD. THE INDEX NUMBER IS WHAT IDENTIFIES A JUDGMENT AND CASE. THE COURT HAS NEVER HAD ANY RECORD OF ANY JUDGMENT EVER PLACED AGAINST ME. WHEN I TELL ME BANK ABOUT THE FRAUD, THEY WON'T EVEN TALK TO ME! THEY TELL ME TO CALL THE NUMBER OF THIS PAUL J. HOOTEN WHO IS DOING THIS TO ME. I AM NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO SPEAK TO THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT WHO MANAGES THESE CASES FOR THE BANK!!!!

RIGHT NOW I AM WAITING FOR THE COUNTY CLERK FOR THE COURT THAT WAS LISTED TO SEND ME A LETTER EXPLAINING THAT NO SUCH JUDGMENT EXISTS. WHEN IT ARRIVES, I STILL DO NOT KNOW IF THIS WILL BE ENOUGH FOR THE BANK TO RELEASE MY ACCOUNTS! THE MOST HUMILIATING THING WAS THAT I HAD TO BORROW $5 FROM A CO-WORKER TO PAY THE FEE TO THE CLERK FOR THE LETTER!!! NOT ONLY THAT, BUT I TOOK AN EMERGENCY LOAN FROM MY 401K AND I HAVE NO WAY TO CASH THE CHECK!!!
