I was sued by the Mann Braken's Rochester office in New York court.  Their client was some collection agency I never heard of.  I hired a NY consumer attorney and we easily beat their case saving me thousands of dollars.  If you are contacted by Mann Braken be sure to fight them.

Thanks Jen! I will.

Mann Bracken?s Illegal Debt Collection in Georgia May Soon Be Over
SBM Staff

I received a letter from the State of Georgia Governor?s Office of Consumer Affairs that indeed the state of Georgia has a full investigation of Mann Bracken?s violations of the Georgia Business Practices Act.

And I quote (from letter below)

RE: Mann Bracken Ref # 236443

?We have reviewed your complaint and many prior complaints sent by other consumers and determined that a full investigation will be undertaken in this matter.?

What did I send the GA GOCA?

Copies of the cease and desist telephone communication at my employers office that Mann Bracken violated on at least eight (8) occasions, recorded telephone conversations, many photos of the caller ID of the phone in my office displaying Mann Bracken?s telephone number, all the alleged Citibank civil actions that Mann Bracken filed against me in court, and quite a few other things that show Mann Bracken has a complete disregard for Federal and State law.

I don?t think it will be too long before Mann Bracken attorney?s in Georgia will no longer be able to file civil litigation (Hear that Keith Taylor?) nor collect debts in Georgia.

I great appreciate the State of Georgia notifying me that they are officially investigating Mann Bracken.
