I posted 02/11/08 I was sued by Eskanos & Adler supposedly on behalf of a bank. They did all could to delay with Case Management Statement forms during the hearings. Finally a judge ordered the contract and receipts be presented. The day of that Case Management hearing no one showed from Eskanos & Adler. The case was dismissed. My mother is considering a lawsuit even in small claims for money spent in defense and time and loss of work as well as stress and any possible punitive damages. This should be illegal. When a lawsuit is filed there should be a contract presented with all proofs or no filing. The stress was crazy. I don't know any bank would have not shown for a hearing if it was a true debted contract suit from a bank. Good thing for my mom. She filed complaints with everyone. FTC, Attorney General, Consumer Affairs, State Bar. She actually reads contracts and law. My mother was truly afraid of lies and fraud against me.
loss of work, filing costs, paper work, mailings, stress, anything would go with an experience such as this.

I was sued in court for a debt not validated. The case management statements have varied in info with different attorneys signing each one. The judge gave time for validation. The discovery answer in amount does not associate to any open or closed account I have. These people did not have an account number, or a credit card associated, just a debt they are seeking a judgment for. They seem to be more concerned in getting a judgment with interest and court costs, than the true debt amount. I have all open and closed statements, closing dates, cell calls, etc. I am defending myself. I am 25. Isn't there a law against filing a lawsuit without validation of the debt first?

Debt collection agency failed to perform as promised despite payment in full. My client Javier S owed debt to Advanta. Advanta sold debt to Profolio Recovery who placed a negative mark on Mr. S's credit report. Portofolio sent matter to their attorneys for civil filing. I negotiated settlement of the matter. Debt was paid in full by cashier's check on November 29, 2006. Because debt has been paid, the agency must remove negative mark on credit report. The law offices indicate that they have no control over such removal, and that I had to contact Portfolio Recovery.
I contacted Portfolio Recovery and a supervisor told me that they could not speak to me and that I had to deal with Eskanos and Adler. I then contacted Eskanos and Adler again and they told me they had no control over removing negative credit mark. So who is lying. My client settled matter in good faith based on the representations that the negative mark would be cleared as the debt had been paid. It seems that now that they have their money they are failing to preform their part.
Client is in process of refinancing and it is affecting his credit rating for better loan amount. This should not be the case as the debt has been paid. I believe this law firm simply collects money and then fails to follow through with rest of terms.

They took 975.00 from checking account from an old credit card from 1997. they claim that i got served in 1998 but i never did. Original balance was 2719.59 They want me to pay 4443.52. They said they would garnish my wages. I called chase manhatten bank on 2-7-05. They had no record of me on their system. It's been so long and they are threatening me with garnishing my wages.
When they took my 975.00 it left me broke. I had no money to buy food for my kids. They gave me no warning whatsoever.
