Gary, You wrote: Unifund CCR partners are saying I did not send back the order of disclosure which I did and are taking me to court claiming contempt of court for not sending back the disclosure paper and also threatening me with jail time. also the amount I owed has had allot of interest added to it. You CANNOT be jailed for a bad debt. Period. Even them saying or implying that is ILLEGAL. AND, that bogus form they wanted you to fill out came from them, NOT the court. Therefore, NO CONTEMPT charge can be filed. Another illegal collection tactic. Go to FTC.gov and read/print the FDCPA, and then file an online complaint for each violation of your rights. Obviously, they cannot get anything from you, but you still need to respond. Get an NACA attorney.

Your situation is like so many others, read DISCOVERY BANK-v-OWENS 822 N.E. 2d 869 Because of your disability you may be able to have your case dismissed if you can get legal aide to help and have them read this case. You can get a copy from www.mycollector.com Reasearch about USURY fees in your state laws and federal laws. This can prevent UNIFUND from adding excess intrest over what they purchased the account from the bank. the court could roll back the monies owed to only what UNIFUND paid for the account. Get a legal aide lawyer to get a copy from the Bank on who they sold it to and how much, so UNIFUND can't lie and make up papers. Look at Budhibbs.com and look for the NACA link for a lawyer in your state. Find A violation UNIFUND did and get a pro bono lawyer to help you counter sue they butts.
