You guy's are right for instance  Mr.Phillip Lewis, I believe what they do is Google who there looking for and what ever relatives show up, they call and they call and they call, so finally I looked in the phone book at the name they were asking me for which had the same last name as me but I didn't know a male with the first, but next time they called I said there's an exact name in the phone book that your asking for so why don't you try him, since he's a male with "the exact name" I'm a female with " only 1/2 the name, so they took it and haven't bothered me since.  I felt bad but come on, maybe they were the right person, at least they had to be a little closer well a lot closer than me right?

I receive several calls from this number almost every day. I do not answer, sometime they leave a message looking for a person by a different name.  Wish there was some way to stop these folks, they are annoying me and others.  They call all hours of the day/evening, even on weekends. Don't respond to these kind of calls, they look at their list and if they find a name that in some way matches who they are looking, then u are targetted for daily calls. Thanks

I get a call from this number about 4 times a week on my cell phone which by federal law is to be on no call lists by telemarketers/collection agencies. I get the same message as jk above that they are looking for someone and if I'm not that person to call 8665938775 to insure no further calls. My best deducted guess is that they are a collection agency or some company/computer trying to get your information for identity theft.

NY AG Throws Out 100,000 Default Judgments Against Consumers!
« on: July 22, 2009, 10:23:57 am »
ATTORNEY GENERAL CUOMO SUES TO THROW OUT OVER 100,000 FAULTY JUDGMENTS ENTERED AGAINST NEW YORK CONSUMERS IN NEXT STAGE OF DEBT COLLECTION INVESTIGATION

http://www.oag.state.ny.us/media_center/2009/july/pdfs/5015%20Suit.pdf

37 Law Firms and Collectors Named in Lawsuit for Failing to Properly Notify New Yorkers Being Sued for Owing Debt

Cuomo Seeks to Vacate Over 100,000 Faulty Judgments Statewide and Provide Restitution to Victims

New York, NY (July 22, 2009) - Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo today announced his office has sued 35 law firms and two debt collectors in New York State in order to throw out an estimated 100,000 default judgments improperly obtained against New York consumers. This is the latest action in Cuomo?s ongoing investigation into unlawful debt collection practices.

According to the lawsuit filed yesterday in New York State Supreme Court, Erie County, the companies relied on a Long Island company, American Legal Process (ALP), to notify New York consumers that they faced debt-related lawsuits. ALP, however, failed to properly serve consumers across the state with legal papers, causing thousands to unknowingly default and have costly judgments entered against them without the chance to respond or defend themselves. In April of this year, Cuomo?s Office announced criminal and civil cases against ALP and its owner, William Singler, for this fraudulent business scheme.

Today?s lawsuit is an effort to provide relief to the thousands of consumers facing costly default judgments as a result of ALP?s unlawful practices. The suit asks the court to vacate all default judgments secured against New York consumers in cases in which the firms (1) used ALP to serve legal process in commencing a lawsuit, and (2) the firms are unable to provide the court with any evidence, other than ALP?s affidavit, that proper legal service was made.

?Our legal system is defined by due process and the guarantee that every New Yorker will get the chance to defend his or herself in court,? said Attorney General Cuomo. ?ALP?s scheme undermined the foundation of this system and denied thousands of individuals their day in court. Today?s lawsuit is a key step in our efforts to uproot unlawful debt collection practices and undo the considerable harm they inflict on New York consumers.?

ALP, as a legal process server, was hired by high-volume debt collection law firms in New York to serve legal papers, usually a summons and complaint, notifying individuals that they are being sued and must answer the complaint. ALP, however, allegedly engaged in ?sewer service,? where process servers take advantage of individuals facing lawsuits by failing to properly alert them and denying them the chance to respond. As a result, tens of thousands of judgments were obtained against unsuspecting New Yorkers, many of whom first learned they were being sued when they found their bank accounts frozen or their wages garnished. ALP covered up the fraud by falsifying sworn affidavits of service in courts across New York.

The law firms and debt collectors sued today then used these false affidavits to obtain default judgments against NY consumers. Between January 2007 and October 2008, these law firms and debt collectors filed more than 100,000 lawsuits in every county in New York State, with the vast majority of the suits being debt collection actions. In a large percentage of the cases sampled and analyzed, the defendants never answered the lawsuit and the law firms sought and obtained default judgments from the courts. In seeking the default judgments, the firms made use of ALP?s fraudulent affidavits that claimed that the individual defendants had been given proper legal notice of the suits.

To rectify ALP?s widespread fraud on New York?s courts and consumers, today?s lawsuit, filed on behalf of the Honorable Ann Pfau, Chief Administrative Judge of the New York State Unified Court System, invokes the broad remedial powers granted to New York?s administrative judges to correct improperly obtained default judgments. In addition to seeking to vacate all of the default judgments where the sole evidence that the defendant received notice of the suit is an ALP affidavit, today?s lawsuit asks the court to order the law firms and debt collectors to:

   * Inform the New York State Unified Court System of each actions in which they used ALP to serve legal process and in which a default judgment was granted;
   * Notify all the parties in those actions of the existence of this lawsuit and their right to be heard; and
   * Notify the court of amount of any default judgments taken in any of the relevant actions, as well as whether the debtor paid any amount to satisfy the default judgment.

Additionally, where a default judgment is ultimately vacated, today?s suit asks the court to direct that proper restitution be made to any debtor who made payment on an improperly obtained default judgment. The Attorney General?s Office estimates that the average default judgment totaled approximately $5, 474.

Carolyn Coffey, an attorney with MFY Legal Services, a nonprofit provider of free legal services in New York, said: ?Over and over again we see hundreds of the most vulnerable New Yorkers -- the elderly, disabled, and working poor -- blindsided by default judgments in lawsuits that they never even knew about until after the cases were over. Our justice system is built on the basic premise that everyone has a right to be heard in court before a judgment can be entered against them, and the debt collection law firms that engage in sewer service deny New Yorkers this fundamental right. MFY commends Attorney General Cuomo for taking these steps to remedy the devastating effects of sewer service, and for sending the message to debt collection law firms that they must comply with the most basic requirements of due process.?

The law firms and debt collectors named in today?s suit are:
Forster & Garbus;
Sharinn and Lipshie;
Kirschenbaum & Phillips, P.C.;
Solomon and Solomon, P.C;
Goldman & Warshaw, P.C.;

Attorney General Cuomo also announced that as part of his ongoing investigation into fraudulent process servers and debt collectors, his Office is determining which other law firms statewide relied on ALP to serve legal process on New Yorkers facing lawsuits. More than 20 such firms have been identified to date and his Office is notifying those firms of its intent to seek to vacate any default judgments those firms have obtained based on ALP affidavits of service.

This civil lawsuit and investigation is being handled by Assistant Attorney General James Morrissey and Assistant Attorney General Nathan Reilly, in conjunction with Dennis Donnelly, George Danyluk, Aric Andrejko and Dan Johnson of the Internal Audit Unit of the New York State Unified Court System.

Attention Nevada residents:

Bud Says                         Consumer Comments Below

Mann Bracken rose from relative obscurity in the debt collection business to make their name by using what we consider an unfair and unjust tool: Arbitration.  They've recently joined forces with the Wolpoff empire and Eskanos and Adler and may well be on the way to becoming the largest debt collection outfit in the United States.

We say that to their shame.  The ruse of arbitration is designed to to screw you out of your legal rights and give credit card companies the upper hand. The key to dealing with Mann-Bracken is to DISPUTE the account within the first thirty days of receiving their written notice. Make a demand for all documents that substantiates their claim, including a copy of the arbitration clause. Send your dispute via certified mail, get a receipt, and keep a copy. DO NOT be intimidated by their threats!  

If you are a Texas resident contacted by this group, get in touch with us right away.  There's a strong possibility we can put an end to your nightmare without too much difficulty.  We invite you to join the forum at a related site where you can keep up to breast with arbitration and learn how to deal with it.       www.arbitrationjustice.com

CAUTION: I recommend you NEVER disclose your bank account or credit card information to a debt collector, as you risk them emptying your account, or maxing out your credit card. If you feel they are reporting on your credit bureau files in error or need assistance in dealing with them, email  the details w/your location.  Assistance and referral to a consumer legal specialist may be available.

From Federal Trade Commission Website ? FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT
Debt Collection FAQs: A Guide for Consumers
If you?re behind in paying your bills, or a creditor?s records mistakenly make it appear that you are, a debt collector may be contacting you.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation?s consumer protection agency, enforces the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices to collect from you.
Under the FDCPA, a debt collector is someone who regularly collects debts owed to others. This includes collection agencies, lawyers who collect debts on a regular basis, and companies that buy delinquent debts and then try to collect them.
Here are some questions and answers about your rights under the Act.

What types of debts are covered?
The Act covers personal, family, and household debts, including money you owe on a personal credit card account, an auto loan, a medical bill, and your mortgage. The FDCPA doesn?t cover debts you incurred to run a business.

Can a debt collector contact me any time or any place?
No. A debt collector may not contact you at inconvenient times or places, such as before 8 in the morning or after 9 at night, unless you agree to it. And collectors may not contact you at work if they?re told (orally or in writing) that you?re not allowed to get calls there.

How can I stop a debt collector from contacting me?
If a collector contacts you about a debt, you may want to talk to them at least once to see if you can resolve the matter ? even if you don?t think you owe the debt, can?t repay it immediately, or think that the collector is contacting you by mistake. If you decide after contacting the debt collector that you don?t want the collector to contact you again, tell the collector ? in writing ? to stop contacting you. Here?s how to do that:
Make a copy of your letter. Send the original by certified mail, and pay for a ?return receipt? so you?ll be able to document what the collector received. Once the collector receives your letter, they may not contact you again, with two exceptions: a collector can contact you to tell you there will be no further contact or to let you know that they or the creditor intend to take a specific action, like filing a lawsuit. Sending such a letter to a debt collector you owe money to does not get rid of the debt, but it should stop the contact. The creditor or the debt collector still can sue you to collect the debt.

Can a debt collector contact anyone else about my debt?
If an attorney is representing you about the debt, the debt collector must contact the attorney, rather than you. If you don?t have an attorney, a collector may contact other people ? but only to find out your address, your home phone number, and where you work. Collectors usually are prohibited from contacting third parties more than once. Other than to obtain this location information about you, a debt collector generally is not permitted to discuss your debt with anyone other than you, your spouse, or your attorney.

What does the debt collector have to tell me about the debt?
Every collector must send you a written ?validation notice? telling you how much money you owe within five days after they first contact you. This notice also must include the name of the creditor to whom you owe the money, and how to proceed if you don?t think you owe the money.

Can a debt collector keep contacting me if I don?t think I owe any money?
If you send the debt collector a letter stating that you don?t owe any or all of the money, or asking for verification of the debt, that collector must stop contacting you. You have to send that letter within 30 days after you receive the validation notice. But a collector can begin contacting you again if it sends you written verification of the debt, like a copy of a bill for the amount you owe.

What practices are off limits for debt collectors?
Harassment. Debt collectors may not harass, oppress, or abuse you or any third parties they contact. For example, they may not:
    use threats of violence or harm;
    publish a list of names of people who refuse to pay their debts (but they can give this information to the credit reporting companies);
    use obscene or profane language; or
    repeatedly use the phone to annoy someone.

False statements. Debt collectors may not lie when they are trying to collect a debt. For example, they may not:
    falsely claim that they are attorneys or government representatives;
    falsely claim that you have committed a crime;
    falsely represent that they operate or work for a credit reporting company;
    misrepresent the amount you owe;
    indicate that papers they send you are legal forms if they aren?t; or
    indicate that papers they send to you aren?t legal forms if they are.

Debt collectors also are prohibited from saying that:
    you will be arrested if you don?t pay your debt;
    they?ll seize, garnish, attach, or sell your property or wages unless they are permitted by law to take the action and intend to do so; or
    legal action will be taken against you, if doing so would be illegal or if they don?t intend to take the action.

Debt collectors may not:
    give false credit information about you to anyone, including a credit reporting company;
    send you anything that looks like an official document from a court or government agency if it isn?t; or
    use a false company name.

Unfair practices. Debt collectors may not engage in unfair practices when they try to collect a debt. For example, they may not:
    try to collect any interest, fee, or other charge on top of the amount you owe unless the contract that created your debt ? or your state law ? allows the charge;
    deposit a post-dated check early;
    take or threaten to take your property unless it can be done legally; or
    contact you by postcard.

Can I control which debts my payments apply to?
Yes. If a debt collector is trying to collect more than one debt from you, the collector must apply any payment you make to the debt you select. Equally important, a debt collector may not apply a payment to a debt you don?t think you owe.

Can a debt collector garnish my bank account or my wages?
If you don?t pay a debt, a creditor or its debt collector generally can sue you to collect. If they win, the court will enter a judgment against you. The judgment states the amount of money you owe, and allows the creditor or collector to get a garnishment order against you, directing a third party, like your bank, to turn over funds from your account to pay the debt.
Wage garnishment happens when your employer withholds part of your compensation to pay your debts. Your wages usually can be garnished only as the result of a court order. Don?t ignore a lawsuit summons. If you do, you lose the opportunity to fight a wage garnishment.

Can federal benefits be garnished?
Many federal benefits are exempt from garnishment, including:
    Social Security Benefits
    Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Benefits
    Veterans? Benefits
    Civil Service and Federal Retirement and Disability Benefits
    Service Members? Pay
    Military Annuities and Survivors? Benefits
    Student Assistance
    Railroad Retirement Benefits
    Merchant Seamen Wages
    Longshoremen?s and Harbor Workers? Death and Disability Benefits
    Foreign Service Retirement and Disability Benefits
    Compensation for Injury, Death, or Detention of Employees of U.S. Contractors Outside the U.S.
    Federal Emergency Management Agency Federal Disaster Assistance
But federal benefits may be garnished under certain circumstances, including to pay delinquent taxes, alimony, child support, or student loans.

Do I have any recourse if I think a debt collector has violated the law?
You have the right to sue a collector in a state or federal court within one year from the date the law was violated. If you win, the judge can require the collector to pay you for any damages you can prove you suffered because of the illegal collection practices, like lost wages and medical bills. The judge can require the debt collector to pay you up to $1,000, even if you can?t prove that you suffered actual damages. You also can be reimbursed for your attorney?s fees and court costs. A group of people also may sue a debt collector as part of a class action lawsuit and recover money for damages up to $500,000, or one percent of the collector?s net worth, whichever amount is lower. Even if a debt collector violates the FDCPA in trying to collect a debt, the debt does not go away if you owe it.

What should I do if a debt collector sues me?
If a debt collector files a lawsuit against you to collect a debt, respond to the lawsuit, either personally or through your lawyer, by the date specified in the court papers to preserve your rights.

Where do I report a debt collector for an alleged violation?
Report any problems you have with a debt collector to your state Attorney General?s office (www.naag.org) and the Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov). Many states have their own debt collection laws that are different from the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Your Attorney General?s office can help you determine your rights under your state?s law.

I have been getting calls on my company cell phone since it was given to me 2 years ago.  When the calls first started right after I got the phone I just assumed the new number the phone company assigned to my new work cell belonged to the people they were looking for - so I called and called and called and they assured me my number was taking off their call list and it finally stopped after about 7 months of calls - then out of the blue three monts later it all started again, twice a day and then on sundays too...whats really bad is that this is a company cell/work phone and they are wasting my employers time and money by making these calls as ofetn as they do..there really must be something to stop these sons a *&((*

Sunday evening calls, usually around 6:30 pm.  They ask for someone I don't know. Message says they are from Mann Bracken.  I called  the 800-830-2793 number to ask them to stop, but no one ever comes on phone.  They use 2 numbers, 301-882-9977 and 9976.  Now, I just pick up phone & hang up.  My attorney says to ignore calls.

I have been harrassed by Mann Bracken for months.  They have not stopped calling despite my demands for them to cease and desist per the Fair Credit Practices Act guidelines.

They have not proven any debt that I owe, and have never responded to any of my correspondence.  I told them they had 30 days to not only prove the debt, but that they had legal standing to collect it.  I also demanded that they have my alleged creditor send proof to me directly that they have hired this law firm to handle this matter.  Without this information, I would never consider giving any personal information to these people or cooperate with them in any way.  Anyone can say they are collecting a debt.  They have failed to provide proof of anything.

Their fax number is fraudulent, and when I spoke with them they would not provide a correct fax number as they said they only want to talk to people.  This tells me that they refuse to obey the law when I tell them I will only communicate in writing.

I spoke with three different people on the phone, all of them lied to me, and none of them would answer my questions.  One of them even called me an "a**."

ALL of these things are illegal and are against the Fair Credit Practices Act.  I found the following website which says what you can actually sue for regarding their unfair practices and harrassment.  These people need to be stopped, and when I have seen the great number of people that they are harrassing, it makes the fight even more important.
