Bank account Levy
Complaint
Lisa B
Country: United States
Premier put a levy on my bank account in the name of the State of Indiana. They would not answer the phone and finally called me back 6 hours later. They would not work with me so I told them I would be paid on the following Monday -- this call was made on Wednesday. I told them to process the payment and they said OK. They did not process the payment today and bank cannot do anything until they process and fax a letter stating I am paid. I am not sure who or where to turn and have no funds to even feed my child because of this. I think this should be illegal you should not strand a single mom with no one to help her without a dime or a pot to pee in. This whole situation is ridiculous. I don't live on any govt help and was audited last year for 2011 state taxes and learned I owed. I made several payments to the state and actually the state owes me $120 right now for my refund which they neglected to put towards this debt before turning it over to premiere. I feel its a little harsh to tie up someones bank account over $180 and then when your told to take the money you don't and leave the levy on there which then results in massive bank fees for returned items not to mention the fees from the individuals because your payment was returned or check bounced. I have waited 8 hours today for a call back and still none

Now I'm left with all the problems of correcting their fake debt collection error. I have contacted a lawyer for further actions.
I believe this company is a Fraud itself and may be a part of a BIG Scam. First,They steal people's Identity, then create a fake debt for businesses they work with and then go after all those people to Collect FAKE debt by harrasing calls, send letters that look like Junk mails, and never send certified mails. After few years, they file a judgment in Indiana or any another state, then Finally, put a Levy on your bank account to collect Debt money. Now, you are out of money and have to spend more money to fight them to correct their Fraudulent Errors.
Instead they high pressure and essentially threaten you into paying the amount anyway and assure you that you will get a refund if its not owed. However they don't give the refunds and they have no idea when you would get your money back.
They flat out told me they don't care if I owe it or not or if I have the documentation. They make out like they will freeze your account the moment you hang up the phone. So they can instantly do that, but they can't confirm the status of an account?
Very Shady.
