I have received several phone calls at my workplace from Hunter Warfield. Saying that I owe money to an old landlord. This case went before a judge, and the judgement states that I, the defendant am to pay $xxxx.00 amount. And of which I have been making payments. However, Hunter Warfield is asking for 3 times the amount of the judgment.
