Description
In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a collection notice from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson in the amount of {$92.00} for XXXX XXXX XXXX State toll collection charges. I immediately called to dispute the charges, and let them know that my XXXX account was closed in XXXX when I moved out of state to XXXX state. I let them know that I physically had not been or driven any vehicle in the eastern seaboard in a decade, and this was not my charge. I asked them to verify or remove the charge and they refused. I subsequent received a second collection notice and called them again on XX/XX/XXXX. I once again called them to say that it was not my charge. They again refused to verify the debt or remove it. They gave me the information that the toll was incurred by an XXXX car with XXXX license plates in XX/XX/XXXX. I let them know that I never owned nor drove an XXXX car, nor have I ever owned a car registered in XXXX XXXX. Additionally, I was not in or near XXXX XXXX state in XXXX. My vehicle is not an XXXX, has XXXX state plates and has never been in or near the east coast. They continued to still refuse to work with me, and refused to verify the debt. I believe that this is predatory collection practices as it's clear that this is not my debt.
