Greater California Financial Services GCFS provided a false business address to a levying officer, had a fraudulent person respond to the order claiming I did not work there. Paso Robles California

In 2014 a judgement was issued against me on a credit card I had in college (bad financial choices, etc). I received a copy of a judgement for wage garnishment that was being sent to my company as well. My company address was clearly printed on the order. I was still disputing the debt at the time. No money was withheld and I received no further communication. In 2017, my company (the exact same company with the same address!) received the wage withholding judgement for the same case. They were never served with it in 2014. Instead of sending the judgement to my company who was clearly listed and printed on the original order from 2014, GCFS sent the order to a random man in the same city where they are located, had him sign for it and fill out the paperwork, on behalf of my company and return it.

In doing so, this person (conveniently located very close to GCFS) fraudulently represented himself as an employee of my company. GCFS then did nothing for 3 years. No further contact to myself. In that time that they did nothing, they have increased the interest by over $4000. The levying officer was given the fraudulent address by GCFS, and the account representative could not give me a reason why they would provide an address unassociated with myself or my company, when the correct company address was clearly printed on the judgement order they were trying to send.

The Sherriffs dept said it was gross negligence on the part of GCFS to provide a completely random address, and then when they realized it, to do nothing for 3 years. GCFS makes their profit off of the interest on unpaid debts. By sending out the initial judgement to a suspicious address when they had the correct one, telling me my company just didn’t comply, even though they had never received, and sitting on it for 3 years before resending to the exact same address they had all along has cost me an additional $4300. I owed the original judgment, not denying that. What I do not owe is the interest deliberately added by sending the original judgement to a address nowhere near the company address on the order and having someone else fill it out.
