At least 3-4 times a week this number calls me. Enough is enough. It's time to get ABC7 on this.

Here is Governor Chris Christies #1609-292-6000,
Office of the Attoeney General # 1609-984-6500

We need all the com[laints we can get to shut down Pressler And Pressler!

Pressler and Pressler are low life dirt bags they get judgements on nothing but a name.  Sheldon H Pressler
is part of the N.J. Court system so you do not have a chance in hell but to pay them over and over and over again the debt never disappears.  Sheldon H pressler live in Short Hills N.J. and the phone # is under his wifes name Carol F Pressler.  Look it up in google and start calling them all hours of the night like his collection agency does. Karma is a bi*** and will get you!   How does the state of New Jersey Allow a lawyer of a collection agency to be appointed to the civil court for judgements under 15,000?  How in the world does he get away with this?  No wonder we don't have a chance in hell to fight this.  Most lawyers wont take your case because its a losing battle.  Everyone should send in a complaint to Govner Christie's office to investagate this.  We the people of N.J. have a right to a fair justice system not a crooked one.  Lets all band together and bring these guys down!  The more complaints that go to Christie office the faster Christie will go after them.

If you receive a call from this number and it is not for you, just call them back and they will remove it.

These people are the bowels of the collection agencies..no one likes them...they'll go after someone for $10........very annoying.........

RECEIVED A CALL AT MY HOUSE FROM THESE IDIOTS ABOUT A BAD CHECK ONE OF MY CLIENTS WROTE. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PERSON NOR THE BUSINESS. IN FACT THEY OWE ME MONEY. THIS WAS EXPLAINED TO THEM AND THE CLOWN IS TRYING TO TELL ME IT'S MY SIGNATURE ON THE CHECK. HE THEN ASKS FOR A COPY OF MY SIGNATURE.
THESE ARE LAWYERS?

What I can do to stop these calls ?

How the hell they can the people without comfirmation ?

They guys just raised my telephone bills by good amount by calling number of times.. what can be done against this harrasement.

Thanks

Someone from this number keeps calling me, I am 11 years old, I want them to stop calling me! They use my minutes!!!

Just got a call on my cell looking for a man - I'm a female. I love how the message is "If this is not so-and-so, please stop listening." Well, you've already taken up my minutes by leaving a message that I have to listen to so that I can realize that it's not a message for me. I went to their website and got some email addresses and sent them emails. Hopefully it will stop. If not, I will continue to email them. Let's see how they like it.

they have been calling me for about 2yrs now trying to hunt down some lady... if you want them to stop calling, call them back and have them remove your number from their systems...

this number Pressler has been calling for YEARS asking for Robert Bateson. I called the number and was assured that my name would be off the list. Also filed complaints with DNC.  Guess it just doesn't work, huh?

Sue them up to $1000.00 if you are not a cosigner on the debt.
And under the law, they pay your attorney's fees.

These people (888-312-8600) called me for my brother's debt, any advice?

Same thing just happened with me. I spoke to someone in probably September of 09 when they called asking for a Marlow Woodson. When I spoke to them telling them that I'm not Marlow, they gave me the 3rd degree... "Where is Marlow then? .. You're telling me you're not Marlow? .. How can I get a hold of Marlow? .. etc, etc" They finally stopped calling until today. I guess I get to call them back... once again.

But the new law from 2008 says something different. And if just everybody would put a claim into the Do Not Call List we could make a change!

Here you can see which companies/organizations can't be stopped from calling and there is nothing about a collection agency!

Hate to tell you this, but the Do Not Call registry does not apply to debt collectors.

I just got a call from Pressler and filed a complaint at the National Do Not Call Registry! First you have to put your number on the Do not call list!

It's a collection agency, at one time they were very big but they since have been knocked down by the state to making phone calls and that's it due to many violations of the law.

Hello, Collections? The Worm Has Turned

The phone rang. A woman from a law firm representing a collection agency wanted to know if Mark Hoyte was Mark Hoyte, and he said he was. They were calling to collect $919 on a Sears-Citi card.

Skip to next paragraph

Richard Perry/The New York Times
A judge ruled that Mark Hoyte was entitled to be compensated wages lost the day he was summoned to court. He was wrongly sued for credit card debt.
Mr. Hoyte said he never had that credit card.

Then the woman wanted to know if his Social Security number ended in 92, and Mr. Hoyte said no, it ended in 33.

?She says to me, ?Your date of birth is in 1972,? ? Mr. Hoyte, 46, recalled in an interview.

Clearly, they had the wrong Mark Hoyte. But that did not stop the lawyers at Pressler & Pressler from suing him. They swore out a complaint and sent a summons to Mr. Hoyte, ordering him to be in court last Monday.

Then things took a rare turn.

Every day of the year, 1,000 cases on average are added to the civil court dockets in New York City over credit card debt ? a high-volume, low-accuracy moment of reckoning. The suits are usually brought by collection companies that purchase the debt for pennies on the dollar from card issuers and then work with a cadre of law firms that specialize in collection work.

Conducting a digital dragnet, they troll through commercial databases searching for debtors. Because of the vast sloppiness and fraud involved, Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo has shut down two of the collection firms and is suing 35 law firms tied to the business.

A person who blows off a civil court summons ? even if wrongly identified ? faces a default judgment and frozen bank accounts. But to date, there have been few penalties against collectors for dragging the wrong people into court.

Until Mr. Hoyte turned up last week in Brooklyn.

After trying to settle the case in the hallway ? the 11th floor of 141 Livingston Street is an open bazaar of haggling ? the collections lawyer realized he had the wrong man. He got Mr. Hoyte to sign an agreement that would end the case against him, but not against the Mark Hoyte who actually owed the $919.

In front of the judge, the lawyer, T. Andy Wang, announced that the parties had reached a stipulation dismissing this Mr. Hoyte from the suit.

Not so fast, said the judge, Noach Dear.

?Why didn?t you check these things out before you take out a summons and a complaint?? Judge Dear asked. ?Why don?t you check out who you?re going after??

Mr. Wang said that Pressler & Pressler used an online database called AnyWho to hunt for debtors.

?So you just shoot in the dark against names; if there?s 16 Mark Hoytes, you go after without exactly knowing who, what, when and where?? Judge Dear asked.

Mr. Wang replied, ?That?s why the plaintiff is making an application to discontinue.?

The judge turned to Mr. Hoyte, who works as a building superintendent, and asked him how much a day of lost pay would cost. Mr. Hoyte said $115.

?Do you think that?s fair?? Judge Dear asked Mr. Wang. ?That he should lose a day?s pay??

?My personal opinion,? Mr. Wang said, ?would not be relevant to the application being sought.?

The judge said he was prepared to dismiss the case and wanted Mr. Hoyte compensated for lost wages.

?Your honor,? Mr. Wang said, ?I?m personally not willing to compensate him.?

No, the judge said; he meant that the law firm, Pressler & Pressler ? one of the biggest in the collection industry ? should pay the $115. He would hold a sanctions hearing, a formal process of penalizing the law firm for suing the wrong man.

Under questioning by the judge, Mr. Hoyte recounted being called about the debt, providing his Social Security number and date of birth, and being summoned to court anyhow.

The collections lawyer then began to interrogate Mr. Hoyte.

?You claim you told Pressler & Pressler it wasn?t you,? Mr. Wang said to Mr. Hoyte. ?Did you send them proof, as in a copy of your Social Security number with only the last four digits visible??

?No,? Mr. Hoyte said. ?They didn?t ask for it.?

?But you didn?t send any written proof of the claim that it was not you?? Mr. Wang said.

?I told them on the phone it?s not me,? Mr. Hoyte said.

Mr. Wang appeared outraged.

?So without any written proof that it?s not you, you would expect someone just, you know, to go on say-so?? he demanded. ?Is that correct??

Alice had reached Wonderland: The lawyer who had sued the wrong man was blaming the wrong man for getting sued.

Judge Dear cut off the questioning. He told Mr. Wang and Mr. Hoyte to come back to court in January.

?If, somehow, counsel, you decide that you?re going to compensate him for his time off,? Judge Dear said, ?I will reconsider sanctions.?

Recorded message.  Asked me to press 1 if I was "person so and so" (gave full name) and not to if I was not.  I did not press anything since the person did not say my name nor that of my wife.

I spoke to a representative back in June explaining to them the situation that I was not (so and so) they promised me they would not call anymore and today I received another harassing call and message well after their office had closed. I'm trying to find out what can be done to stop these people from calling me.

I am also geting calls from same number. What I can do to stop these calls ?

How the hell they can call the people without comfirmation ?

They guys just raised my telephone bills by good amount by calling number of times.. what can be done against this harrasement. Can we file a lawsuit ?

Thanks
