Kimball Tirey & St John LLP

Review: Kimball, Tirey & St John (KTS) has recently represented the company [redacted] (**). ** is a property management company that has been and is currently being investigated by the California Real Estate Board due to both recent and blatant unethical practices due to multiple frivolous lawsuits which were filed with the San Diego Superior Court System . A summary of the issues are as follows: 1)Panda Realty (**) was told by the condo owner to not collect rent for October. The ** Rep sent a payment to the condo owner out of her own pocket. Then the ** rep told KTS payment was never paid to the owner and to process the necessary court documents. Supporting documents showed **'s claims were false. 2)** again instructed KTS to file documents due to non-payment. This time supporting documents showed ** had already cashed the checks ** claimed to not have received. 3)Most recently ** instructed KTS to once again file a frivolous lawsuit for non-payment. This time KTS has simply listed the account as in "Collections" for an amount triple what was once again already collected by ** without any **ior notification from either ** or KTS..Desired Settlement: My desired outcome is to have all references to KTS removed from all of my credit reports immediately and for there to be no further contact from KTS regarding any bogus claims on behalf of Panda Realty.

Based upon our review, the debt which we seek to collect is valid. However, as always, we would be very willing to discuss the issue in detailwith Mr. [redacted] at his convenience to review the matter with him.Please contact us if you would like to discuss Mr. [redacted] complaint.

Review: I checked my credit report Sunday evening seeing there was a new debt for almost 3000$, placed on May 5, 2015. I immediately called Monday. I was astonished at how poorly I was treated, saying they are garnishing my wages and there was nothing I could do. I asked to speak w a sup. she was even worse, stating I could pay it in full, clearly being a single mother of 3 paying almost a 1000$ in daycare I have 20$ to my name until my next pay. She spoke to me like I was sm on the floor with no regard to my children and their well being. She even chuckled at my panic. She stated they sent over 9 letter to addresses I havent lived at in over 5 years and one address I have never lived at. I have had the same address since and have not received one letter attempting to collect a debt. I contacted my payroll department who informed me they have not gotten any request for a garnishment. I did some of my own research, finding if my job hasnt been contacted I should be able to set up pay arragnments. I call Back today and asked to speak to the same sup. I asked if you have someoenes well being in your hands, why would you guys have no made every attempt to make contact with the person. As soon as I seen it, I made call to attempt to resolve the balance. I asked once more if I could set up payments she refused, I asked to speak with her boss, she laughed and said she was the manager of her department, she is the highest level. I told her I know every manager answers to someone, she told me there was a managing partner who wouldnt speak to "someone like you". I am a younger with three kids who depend on my income for shelter, food, water, shoes, gas to take them to school. I dont know what this garnishment would do to my family. I am human, I never felt more degraded. She told me to "borrow" the money, well if it was that simple I wouldnt be begging. The proper thing to do would be to report on my credit way before a garnishment at least then I couldve have made contact sooner.Desired Settlement: Treat people with respect, allow payment arragnments when a garnishment has not even made it to a persons job. Make another manager available, this woman should be the only person clients are able to talk to. She was just unethical.

Dear Ms. [redacted]:Thank you for providing our law firm with a copy of the complaint that was filed by [redacted]. Ms. [redacted] is not a client of our fmn. Our law firm was retained by the abovereferencedPlaintiff over three years ago to evict Ms. [redacted] from our client's rental property fornonpayment of rent. The lawsuit resulted in the judgment which Ms. [redacted] alludes to in hercomplaint (a copy is enclosed.)In her complaint, Ms. [redacted] indicates that she has been unaware of the lawsuit until recently.Ms. [redacted] was personally served with the summons and complaint in May of2012. She has hadthree years to resolve the matter. Despite our best efforts to garner Ms. [redacted]'s cooperation forthe past three years, she has failed to honor her financial obligations on a voluntary basis. A wagegarnishment was our law firm's last resort.Ms. [redacted]'s characterization of her con'l.munication with our law firm is disingenuous. She hasbeen patently disrespectful and hostile to more than one of our staff members. We understand thatemotions can cause persons to engage in contentious behavior. Our law firm takes pride in theability to diffuse contentious telephone calls and we always prefer to cooperate rather than utilizeexpensive and (sometimes) unnecessary judicial enforcement proceedings to professionally pursueour clients' objectives.However, threats of physical force will not be tolerated. In the event that Ms. [redacted] againthreatens any member of our law firm, we will take whatever action is necessary to protect thesafety of our personnel. We do not take kindly to menacing behavior and, in this day and age, wedo take threats of physical force very seriously.In the event that Ms. [redacted] wishes to speak with me directly, I remain willing to discuss thecase with her in a civil manner and in the spirit of cooperation.Very Truly Yours,KIMBALL, TIREY & ST. JOHN LLP

Review: Back in 2002 more than 10 years ago they evicted me from the apartment complex where I was living and since then they have not been able to go on with their lives, they have taken that personally even though I was the one evicted they have started really harassing me and obsessing with me and my life, they will not let me get on with my life. I had a judgment against me for 10 years it was on my record and now I am just trying to get on with my life and they have been constantly calling me with threatening remarks about that if I don't now pay the triple of what I owed they are going to keep messing up my credit and see that I am kicked out of my residence where I am now and someone by the name of [redacted] called a while ago and said he can keep putting this judgment on my record over and over until I pay him and they have been sending me letters every time I apply for something including utilities stating that they are watching my actions and will be putting a stop to or keeping me from getting any credit in the future. I want to know how this sort of harassment is legal. The reason they are doing this is because in 2009 they wanted to evict me from another apartment complex but I was able to get the rent up and paid off my landlord so she let me stay but that didn't sit well with Kimball and [redacted] Law Firm cause they lost out from not being able to take it to court. I'm going to have to purchase LifeLock or some kind of protection to keep them out of my credit. I just want to get on with my life I have suffered enough over the past 10 years.Desired Settlement: I want them to let me alone and to get on with my life and for them to just get over me and to quit calling, writing and harassing me and to stop pulling up my credit for their own illegal reasons. I do not want to ever be contacted by them again. It has been over 10 years now and they need to just go on with their lives and let me go on with mine.

Re: [redacted] (Complaint [redacted]

Dear Ms. [redacted]:

Ms. [redacted] is not a client or customer of our law firm. She is a defendant who we sued on behalf

of a client in 2004. The lawsuit against her resulted in a money judgment against her (please see

enclosed.) She signed a stipulation to make payments on the judgment on December 3, 2004. She

has made none.

Our law firm has not engaged in harassment as alleged in Ms. [redacted]'s complaint. We have only

asked her to pay the judgment that she agreed to pay. We remain willing still to accept payments

and will present any settlement offers to our client.

Please call anytime for additional information or documentation if needed. Thank you.

Review: Re account number: ac# [redacted]

I HEREBY DECLARE MY INTENT TO SUE

BELOW IS A COPY OF THE LAST CORRESPONDENCE I SENT TO KIMBALL TIREY ON FEB 9

To whom it may concern,

The last correspondence I sent your company on Oct 31, 2013 pertained to a demand for validation. Your company has failed to provide me validation of the account and at the same time persevered with reporting the account on my credit report. This is a blatant violation of Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA Sec 809). Hence, I hereby declare my intent to bring suit against your company under the regulations, due to your continued collection activity and failure to remove the account from my credit report.Desired Settlement: I am allowing you a period of 14 days to remove the account from my credit report, after which I will pursue this matter in California Superior Court. I have brought this matter to the attention of the Attorney General’s Office. You may only correspond with me by mail and are to cease all collection activity pertaining to this account.

Review: I made a final payment under the information that after the payment cleared 3-5 days later they would close the account and I would no longer be billed. I made a payment of 277.69 as the site stated was the remaining balance and got receipt and clearance from the site that I had a zero balance. I received a bill on 4/26/15 stating that I have a balance of 68.83. I rechecked the website and it still showed a balance of 0.00. I contacted the company and they state this is a balance owed and I dispute it because it was not a part of the balance when my final payment was made and I was not billed for it until 3 1/2 months after the final payment was made. they stated that letters were mailed to an address I lived at before I even began the payments with them. I moved once after the payments started and changed my address with them and all documents until this letter have always come to my current address. I never had an issue with not receiving my letters prior to this one.Desired Settlement: I would like the balance of the 68.83 to be removed and the account closed. due to the fact that it did not exist when I made the final payment nor did I receive a bill prior to 3 months after the payment was made. I feel as though I am being wrongfully billed for this payment and would like the balance or payment request removed.
