The company harassing you is Meridian Management Solutions a.k.a Brachfeld & Associates, P.C. a.k.a The Minority Legal Network. The link that I posted above was formated incorrectly. Here's the correct link to Bud Hibbs' report on this sleazy operation:  http://www.budhibbs.com/debtcollectorpages/meridian.htm

There are several routes you can take in this matter, and I suggest you take them all!  :)

1) file a complaint online with the Federal Trade Commission here:
https://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01

2) File a complaint with your state's attorney general. (You can find your AG's contact information here http://www.naag.org )

3) Send Brachfeld & Associates a letter directing them to cease all communication with you and warning them that you'll gleefully pursue every applicable legal sanction against them if they fail to comply.  Here is their address:

Brachfeld & Associates, P.C.
20300 S. Vermont Ave., Suite 120
Torrance, CA  90502-1338

Just be sure to mail it via *certified* US Mail with a return receipt request, and save a copy of your letter.  If they contact you more than once after receiving your cease communication letter, then they are breaking the law and subject to monetary damages for each violation.

She said "well why are you taking a message for him if you haven't seen him in a while." i said, "because i WAS going to try and get ahold of him for you and give him the message" she said "ohh then have a nice day" and I hung up.

This is also a number for Brockfield & Assoc., the supposed debt collectors. The number rings to Meridian Management
Solutions.

I actually had them hang up on me when I said I was going to record them and this conversation...LOL.  They said..."We cannot allow that"....I then said..."NO RECORD...NO TALK!".....they then hung up on me...:)

Brockfield & Assoc
This number keeps calling… they hang up or place you in hold with music, it is some debt collectors representing EXXON Corp. spoke to them once they threaten to take you to court for some debt that I have talk to them and request copies of the charges.
As far as I can remember I did not charge anything especially on the dates they say as I was going thru a very bad family illness, but they have never, supply me with it.
A guy with a deep voice he sound like someone from the mafia that is going to come out from the phone and kill you…. They keep harassing me at work if I am fired.  I guess they are going to supply for me.

This is what I did.  When they called they asked, by recording, if I was "name".  I hit two for no.  Then again hit two with the next recorded question and was transferred to a representative "Ms. Cox."  I told her that the person she was looking for was not at this number and that if she wanted to speak to that persons lawyer that I would be happy to give them that number.  I then requested that they remove my number from their listing as the person they were looking for did not reside at my number.  

If they call again I am going to let them know that I have contacted the BBB & FBI.  That should do it.

This company is calling me in regard to a debt...They are trying to collect money that I owe to a credit card...From what I have learned, I will not send this company any money...They appear to have a very bad reputation...I am 80 years old, and this borders on elderly abuse.

This is the fifth company in four years that is accusing me of owing a debt - that I DONT OWE.  Two years after paying off a credit card and never receiving anything from the cc co, a mysterious collection company (mind you - two years later) starts calling me.  I write them a long letter w/the evidence demonstrating I dont owe the money.  They quit calling me and since that time my "name and debt" has been sold to three other companies and now to this harassers.  They like the previous three, will not listen, will not send any kind of proof of the debt (since they cannot) and are EXTREMELY RUDE AND DISGUSTINGLY MEAN.  Anyone have any suggestions on how to get them to stop calling?

Needs to stop calling me, gets phone calls all day long also in the early mornings... I have not a clue who the person is, but when I do catch them calling i try to explian and they tell me this is the number that he gave to me, then they try to argue with me, to that piont where I  just pretty much have had it and go off on them, they need to stop harassing me is annoying..

I only figured out the name of the company from finding this page after doing a Google search for the phone number. The message the lady who called left on the answering machine was rapid-fire. When I called the number back (with a blocked call set-up of course) and dialed the extension they gave (Ext. 6124), after the lady answered the phone and rattled off the name, I asked her "how is that spelled?" Rather than answer a simple question, she snapped "who is this calling?" at which I repeated my question. When she repeated hers, I said "I will get to that in a moment, how is the name of this company spelled" and she really got rude with me so I raised my voice and said "GOODBYE!" and hung the phone up.

I do not know at this time if they are a legitimate creditor or not but I wanted to vouch for what the others said with regards to the rudeness in which they were treated. The lady who answered the phone was a real b***h which may or may not be a policy with that company and those who work for it, but the claims of the others about the representatives from Brockfield and Associates being rude was also something that I personally experienced about an hour ago today.

just received a call tonight and they said that there was ajudgement against me. Is this really a law firm or a debt collector?

Erica Lynn Brachfeld & Associates, Houston, TX
Run by the criminal father, Marty Barchfeld, went to jail for stealing money from a client when he was a lawyr.
Now stealing money from everyone.
Uses  rent a lawyer in Houston to collect.
All of them are crooks, don't deal with Brachfeld.
They all lie don't have the right documents

Rude and totally useless.Will be pursued thru the bar association! A** being the only true word.

These folks have been driving me crazy - they are just fishing, trying a couple of first names starting with my first initial. They have been told repeatedly that I don't owe anyone any money, that they have the wrong person, that they are breaking the do not call law and debt collections laws regarding harassment, and they don't care. I finally changed my phone account to get caller ID and that didn't make any difference. Is the phone company supporting  them? It seems to me they could provide some help to stop folks like this.

"EXTREMELY RUDE AND DISGUSTINGLY MEAN." in the above message is way to mild of an expression for the way I have been treated by these Bas-----!
Even if you actually owed the money, you don't deserve to be treated like that.
They fish for most of your information with trick questions, which I innocently and ignorantly gave to them, then they use this to further harass you.

They blatantly violate the collection rules and calling restrictions, including frequent violations of the calling times allowed, which if the are actually attorneys, they are well aware of.

Be advised their, identity is kept well hidden.  I don't know if it is they are afraid of being found out or if they are ashamed of how they function, either would be correct.

If Brockfield Law Group, Associates or Meridian Management Solutions or any other of their aliases comes up, just hang up.

I got a new cell phone, new number etc.  I get calls from them repeatedly for the person that had the phone number before me.

I have called back repeatedly and no one every answers.   I'm glad I found this site.

Is there anywhere to file a complaint on this poorly managed company?

This is my 13th call in the last few day.  They do leave a message, generic, stating that this is not a telemarketing call and to have ....call back at the # provided.  I am not the only one using the cell phone and the others using this line, know that it is a collection call.  Not all are aware of my circumstance with bills due to medical expenses over the last few years.  I did work with the creditors that worked with me, but not with the ones that made it very difficult, by increasing the percentage rates, continuing the late charges, then over limit charges, until a credit limit of 800 increased to well over 5,000 after charge off.  I believe they increase each time it is passed on to a collection agency.

They call our house at least once a week and have for the past few months. We just hang up on them because they ask for my dad but by his middle name. Very few people called him by his middle name and they actually use a shortened form of it. If it were truly collecters, I would think that they would use his first name that is on all his bills and such.

It showed up as a toll free call.

Their fax number is 713-579-7050
Their address is: 800 West Sam Huston Pkwy S
                 Suite 200
                 Huston, TX 77042

Send them a fax or certified letter telling them to validate the debt(find a sample letter online) and to cease calling.  If they don't hire a lawyer and sue them.  You will actually get money out of the deal.
