So where did he hide all the money he swindled?

Fake lawyer. Is this what you went to law school for mike? You're a clerk begging for $$. Punk job, punk lawyer.

I just got a called from Weinerman Assoc. I called them back and a guy answers the phone by the name of Micheal Oppenheimer stating that this wasn't going to be a pleasant call. He continued talking to me and I couldn"t get a word in. I ended up arguing with him and he said that it was in my best discission if I would lower my tone cause I had no idea what he was calling me about. Then he stated that he was a lender to collect a debt from me from 5/3 bank in the amount of $1598.33. He then tried to say that the bank issued a bank statement to me through the mail reguarding this info and I never recieved anything. He then assumed to tell me that he knows the bank sent copies because he had a copy of it. I told him just because he had a copy doesn't mean that I recieved one. I then asked him about the $1598.33 in debt that I was in and how did I accomplish this debt and he said it was either a check or a debit card. I then told him that I never wrote out a check and my debit card cant recieve that much cash nwhen there is no funds in the account. He said that we can settle this and I can make monthly payments to him to get this debt clear and have my name taken from a check list so I can open another checking account. I then agreed to the monthly statement cause I didnt know what else to do. But the number he called me from was 952-388-0486 and it was his office number and it goes straight to Micheal Oppenheimer office. I'm so confused now and just dont know what to do. So can you all please help me resolve this problem or give me some info cause I don't want to be scammed for this amount of money. Thank You!

Oh his name is Lionel Payne, drew is one of his multiple fake personalities. Oh he is, well was married at that time.... To two women at the same time! Me being the second one, I was added in after some 22 years of marriage and 3 kids.... Then he got bored I guess and married me too for fun-yeah he is a con- bigamist! Nothing he says, and I mean nothing is true- be aware of his charm and lies! Don't give him money they are stolen accounts he is trying to collect on!

We will crawl back to our cubes all while you sit around being a unproductive member of this world.  GROW up and quit hiding behind message boards.  You ruin it for the people that care about their credit and want to pay their bills.  They read these and avoid the situation and then end up with bad credit because some idiot that could are less about the person they are told them too.  We will continue to be cubical warriors while you continue to hide behind message boards.  Some people actually want to pay their debts, get low interest rates, retire, pay their kids college.

Do not give him any money. The bbb has rated them an F. They aren't accredited. Keep you money and find another way to pay.

When a slime ball calls, just say F*** You, and wait to see what their response is.  Then tell them that Mr. Click would like to speak to them and slam the phone in their ear.  If you are on a cell, an air horn will do the trick.

Well i did a lil research after michael oppenhiemer called me. He told me i owed the bank i use $892.85, which i don't. If you look on the better business bureau weinerman and associates score a F. They are not accredited. So if you gave them money you need to take legal action. And some advice for everyone: if you don't know the company look to the better business bureau before you pay for services or debts.

Okay, got the call from Mike O. at Weinerman ( love that name) he inflated the debt by double to over $1200 and change. I have monitored the  credit bureau, the amount is half that. Has been for quite some time. I tried to pay the original debt to the original lender but because it has been sold, several times, I can't. Mike agreed to a settlement amount and a time frame. I have the money order in hand. Before I send it to them , has anybody, not you shills, had experience with them? will they live up to their end of the agreement? will they give me a satisfied letter? will they not 1099 me for the unsubstantuated debt? and why won't they report paid in full to the bureaus? they said that was my responsibility.I know these guys buy debt in bundles for pennies on the dollar and I feel like I am dealing with thugs. Any thoughts?  Looking for answers real soon and please no vitriol

You "John Fortier" are either a sheming, frustrated shill or you're so incredibly ignorant that I'd be surprised if you are actually able to dress yourself. The people here are complaining about sleazy collectors using illegal attempts to collect non-existent debts or debts that are no longer legally collectible. NOT legitimate debts that they are trying to avoid paying!
What's the matter "John"? That $7.00/Hr. + 15% of the take ain't cuttin' it anymore? Are the people catching on too quickly thanks to sites like this? I guess you're just not making enough to support your lifestyle in "London" anymore huh? Why don't you just go back to your "flat" and wait for those 'phone calls to start coming in from all those shyster bill collectors that don't exist in the grand old U.K.!
Crawl back to your cubicle pal, you've got calls to make. That rock don't pay for itself.

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BORROW THEN REPAY AND GOOD OLD FASHIONED HONESTY? THE FILTH THAT COMES ON HERE AND COMPLAINS THAT THEY ARE BEING ASKED TO REPAY AND SOMEONE ACTUALLY HAS THE NERVE TO RING THEIR TELLY TO GET THEM TO REPAY? WHEN MONEY IS OWED IT MUST BE REPAID,SIMPLE,HONEST,STRAIGHT TO THE POINT.RETURN CALLS TO YOUR CREDITORS AND DON'T CAUSE THEM ANY MORE UNDUE FINANCIAL SUFFER THEN THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN THRU.FOLKS WHO DON'T ACT LIKE RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE DESERVE THE FATE THEY GET AND YOU REALLY REAP WHAT YOU SEW.PEOPLE NEED TO HONOR THEIR DEBTS INSTEAD OF DODGING THEM FOR YEARS AND MAKING PEOPLE CALL THEM OVER AND OVER.THINGS IN THE UK,HERE ARE NEVER LIKE THIS

bo

Just a FYI..if anyone owes money you can still ask for documentation of your bill, an agreed payment letter,  and if you pay them money even if its $2, $5, $10 debt collectors HAVE to accept the payment and they can't refuse it either .. this will show the courts you are making great efforts to pay them.. and please make sure you ask the payment in full letter that this is removed from your credit report..if they cant do any of these things then you can call BBB to report, not pay until they have correct and legitimate paperwork (then follow procedure), or you can sue them for harassment... Record the conversation!!!!!!

Perhaps if you didnt live beyond your means and making new bills that you cant afford,and get a jobbie so you could pay your bill.The time it took to post on here coukd be time getting a job so you dont need to be getting calls about being a stay at home mom.children need mentors and good parenrs that set proper examples and what you are doing in counter productive and you are acting like you are being picked on.you made the bill,repay it.Really an easy concept

I have been receiving calls from Sydney Cohen the last few weeks. I am an unemployed stay at home mom of 3.  Just had my daughter in April. My husband has been laid off and just now started to go back to work. I feel helpless and threatened and honestly scared. I know I have debt. I have talked with this man before and asked if I could make payments and he said no!! It's Only a debt for $400. But I don't h e that Kind  of money just laying around. He asked " so are you refusing to pay this debt?" I said " no, but I would need to make payments or wait till taxes". He said then I was refusing to pay it. I know everyone needs a job but do they really have to be so damn mean. My husband and I are looking into consolidating our bad credit into one monthly payment but I am getting so sick of the calls. I am not going to answer my phone and tell u the same damn thing I told you last week and the week before!!! I CANNOT PULL MONEY OUT OF MY A**!  I feel so helpless, harassed and exhausted. He left a message today saying if he dowsnt hear back from me in 48hts he will proceed. Wtf does that even mean?  I've heard it before. I would love it NOT to happen but what else can I do?  Can't pay in full can only make payments and you won't except that so.....

Spoke to a Sid Kone and he helped me to settle my us bank debt.was very professional and informative.even made me feel like his equal because he said he was suffering. financially as well.thanks sid for all your help.too bad there arent more sids on this life

Seems like the turnover is high there because people dont make money off useless scummy crooked debtors that defrauded banks and repay with:you guessed it bad funds.looks like the crumble is starting.things are bad there and no end in site.buy s*** paper, deal with s****y rotten losets.you reap whatcyou sew

I guess my only question is if they are such a sleeezy company etc ; why are they still in business? Must be legal.

Was called by this loser,Michael Oppenhimer and he is a real piece of useless scum.Sounds like he comes from the bowels of schizophrenia.he lied about everything and said things that are illegal.how on eartg can someone employ this walking piece of fecal matter.

Micheal O. Called me saying that I owed money to a bank. When he proceeded to ask how I handled my finances and if thru another bank. I responded I do everything COD and he said "what's that?". I mean really everyone knows what COD means in the financial world.

SHARE!!! I'd love to hear your info

EXACTLY!  you called it!

Learn to spell, you moron!

screw you, you slime ball harrassing piece of you know what.

they keep calling my job.....AFTER receiving a fax from me stating to cease and desist ALL CALLS to my place of employment.  Then when I return the call, they all of a sudden can not answer their phone. they transfer you to someone else and want you to repeat all of your information AGAIN.
So now I'm calling them and only saying what's your fax number? they ask me my name I say you'll get my name when you give me your fax number.....of course the call all of a sudden gets disconnected

I had the opportunity to talk to a debt collector named Syd Cohen and in the time we spoke,I was super pleased that my debt was being handled by him.He was very empathetic with me,didn't judge me and even said that,he himself was struggling financially which made me feel that i wasn't alone in this problem.We set up a payment plan and I have to say that he is one of the nicest people that I have spoken to about my bills.Too bad that there aren't more like him.Who ever is in charge there,please do all you can to keep him happy as he is a wonderful representation of your outfit.Thanks again Syd and look forward to working with you.
