Sharon, CLOSE that bank account IMMEDIATELY and open a new one at a DIFFERENT BANK!! First of all, there is no "Mr. Miranda". This is a scam and a fraud. They even laugh about these aliases they use. It is a big game to them. NEVER call or speak to any debt collector on the phone! And NEVER send any personal or financial information to any debt collector/ debt lawyer/debt buyer. NEVER!! You are under no legal obligation to do so. You need to immediately get every peice of paper filed in this matter. Go to your bank and get whatever they recieved to justify the freezing of your account. Also contact the courthouse and get everything they have. NO ONE except the IRS can freeze your bank account without a court order. This means that they would have had to sue you and win, then go for a garnishment order. The common scam these lowlife engage in, is to do "sewer service" where they knowingly serve an old address of yours so you will not get it and therefore will not respond which allows them to quickly move for the default judgement and garnishment order. However, this is both unethical and illegal. Immediately file a bar association complaint and also notify the court and your local prosecutor of the fraudulent documents. It is a felony in all states I know of to file falsified documents with the court. Get these freaks disbarred! And, file a lawsuit for damages. Don't get mad, GET PAID!! Good luck. ps. get an attorney right away to file a motion to vacate the judgement.
