    Way to NOT treat returning Vets

    By bootsongroun  |  Posted February 17, 2013  |  Hampton, Virginia
     
    Apparently in the Commonwealth of Va, it is legal to extort money from deployed service members. This is what happened to me this week. I tried to use my debit card for gas, it was turned down. I got home called the bank, my account had been frozen. I found out that a place called Linkhorn Bay Apts, in Virgina Beach had filed a “default judgment” against me while deployed in the Middle East. I NEVER lived in apartment complex and was in another part of the country when they said I moved in. I had proof. Then it was turned over to a supposed attorney, Chad Bernard who then filed the actual paperwork for the “default judgment”. Once approved in court, it was given to a collection company called Results Unlimited Inc. (757-486-4447)who froze my bank account two weeks after I returned from the Middle East. They would not provide paperwork, dates, information other than I will not get my bank account unfrozen until paying them almost $4000 IN FULL, in cash, no payments, really. This all started they said in 2010, but never sent any information to me about this. By VA law they dont have too. This sounds like it should be illegal in the U.S., but it is not in VA. I would like to get the word out to any of my fellow service members who have ever been to or are in VA to keep an eye on your bank accounts. This really took me for a loop.
