This so-called lawyers do not even show up to court. they try to call a week before for settlement and and to tape you on the phone because they have NO evidence. They refuse to send production papers when requested as well. Doe not matter. I made sure to file the request for production with the court and I unlike these sharks showed up in court. guess what case DISMISSED! Made me waste my time. And I am contacting Weston legal for a counter suit now.

On Saturday, July 25 at approximately 3 pm I had papers served to my home from the offices of a Betty [redacted], and Sarah [redacted], attorneys with Raush, Sturm, Israel, Enerson, & Hornik, LLC in Clearwater, Florida. I must say that the tactics these ladies use are to provoke intimidation and fear, and I will voice my displeasure on my court date. It Is sad that in this day and age lawyers are only capable of getting jobs as lousy and unscrupulous debt collectors.

This agency has sent multiple earning garnishment letters to my employer however I've been exempt every single time because I receive health care benefits through the state of Wisconsin. Two weeks ago I again (for the 7th time within the last 3 months) sent the documents that exempt my wages from being garnished thinking the threats to garnish my wages would stop. I was wrong I received a package from Rausch, Sturm, Israel, Enerson & Hornik stating that they had AGAIN mailed paper work to my employer to garnish my wages. Keep in mind I just sent my exemption papers with all documents necessary & they send these SAME exemption papers again.

Review: On 04/28/2015 I contacted and made arrangements to pay my incurred debt of what was told to be a combined total of $9,675.40. 04/29/2015 I paid $4,000.00 and agreed to pay a monthly sum of $200.00 to pay $100.00 to 2 accounts with this company and the remaining balance would be $5,690.76. They stated they would send copies of the agreement to me and I could make payments online as well that the existing garnishment would be removed from my payroll account ASAP. They stated that it would take a shorter amount of time in Wyoming to remove the garnishment, up to 7 days to completely go through the court system. After 2 weeks, 05/14/2015, no paperwork sent to me and garnishment continued. Another phone call and request for copies of said agreement, the attorney stated that he would push the court to move along faster. On 06/01/2015, another phone call requesting copies of agreement and receipt of the $4,000.00 paid. Jody ext. 301, stated we owed more than $6,000.00 on one account alone and over $5,000.00 on the other. She told me then that Wyoming takes longer than other states, I argued that she said the opposite last time, asked where the copy of the agreement was and she stated it was sent to my old address after she just asked for my full address. I have left several messages for an attorney, or supervisor to return my call and have yet to hear from them. Every call I have made has been transferred to another person in another state and not one of them can simply give me a balance on these accounts. Yet, they ask the same information each call/transfer. I can hear typing and they are inputting my information, but can't seem to give me back any. Each person argues with me and attempts to transfer me to the abyss. I have upheld my end of the bargain, yet they have yet to give me a total, breakdown of cost or assist in negotiating a lower agreement. I feel this is a scam or predatory, I just want to resolve my debt at a reasonable amount and don't feel I should be continuosly shuffled with NO answer as to where my money is going. As of today I have only seen 1 payment reimbursed as promised and am unable to live my day to day and pay other existing accounts/bills due to these garnishments and increasing amounts. I was lead to believe that my original balance of $9,675.40 was the 2 accounts combined. Now they are saying they don't combine accounts and have yet to return my calls.Desired Settlement: I would like a copy of the original agreement made to this company on 04/29/2015, as well as a breakdown of the charges of the 2 accounts. I would also like a new agreement.

Review: I have a payment plan with this debt collector. I requested a letter with information bout how many more payments left I have and they promised me to mail me a letter with that information but I never got the leeter. I called them yesterday night and the guy Ibtalked to told me they were busy and call them back 1/2 hour later which I did and when I gave him my file number and requested to talk to somebody he hang up on me. After a few more calls I finally talked to somebody else who asked me for some information and he promised me to have somebody calling me. Nobody called me.

I called back this morning and after several calls ( 4 or 5 ) left waiting until they hang up on me every time I finally got to talk to a guy whose name was [redacted]. He promised me to send me an email with the information but he never did. I talked to him before 9 am its almost 4 pm and still nothing. It doesn't take a whole day to send one email.Desired Settlement: The information I requested

Review: I have never been notified of anything that was to be taken care of for this debt. This debt is from 2010. My ex husband was supposed to put this on his credit card, but failed to do so. There was a lack in communication on our part, but I have still never ever been notified about this debt and now they have garnished my bank account.Desired Settlement: I want to make right on this debt without the garnishment. I have no problems in making monthly payments. As one can see this is the only debt I carry on myself and don't deserve to have garnishments to my back account without the proper notice

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to Ms. [redacted]'s complaint. A lawsuit was filed on September 20, 2010. Ms. [redacted] was served by substitute service on October 20, 2010. A judgment was entered by the Court against Ms. [redacted] on December 8, 2010. Shortly thereafter, we received a form filled out by Ms. [redacted] on January 7, 2011 indicating that she was exempt from garnishment. We received nothing further from Ms. [redacted] until this complaint. We are willing to work with Ms. [redacted] to resolve this matter as she states in the "desired settlement" section of the complaint. Ms. [redacted] can contact [redacted] at ###-###-#### or by email at [redacted]. If there are any further questions, please let me know. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Review: Last year we received numerous daily harassing robocalls from this business looking for a [redacted] or [redacted]. There is no one by that name here and never has been.

I believe they somehow in their database have one of our three phone numbers for this person they are looking for.

At the time a Tasha S[redacted] there at their company (extension 202) finally helped us out and the calls stopped.

A few weeks ago the robocalls to our business for [redacted] / [redacted] started again.

I have tried to call them numerous times to request that they stop calling our phone numbers and remove this incorrect data from their database.

It is very hard to get a person on the phone, and when I do they immediately cut me off and send me back to their main call line without taking the time to listen to my problem. She did it three times now! This is very frustrating. I just want to politely ask them to fix their database so we stop getting these harassing robocalls and wasting our time.Desired Settlement: I want a human being from that business to call me. I want them to figure out why we are being called, to stop it, and to tell me that it's going to stop.

I would sincerely appreciate that.

Thank you.

Also it would be nice if their automated call system had an option for "You are receiving robocalls from us in error".

Currently there is no function through their web-site or through their call system to easily express these problems, which is probably by design (I imagine debt collectors deal with a lot of angry people all day) but I am trying to make a legitimate and polite request.

Surely they can have a better solution than me having to escalate to a Revdex.com complaint.

Response:

It's fine that they are now fixing the problem, I will accept it and am satisfied, but I do wish they had a better mechanism to report this sort of problem (them calling a wrong number) than what I had to go through twice now with this same company (July of 2014 and June of 2015)and an identical problem.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

Review: I had a judgment filled against me 2012/2013 in regards to a balance owed on a second mortgage from a home that went through foreclosure. My husband and I agreed on a payment arrangement of $300 for 12 months then $400 for another 6 months and a final increase of $500 for the remaining payments. I had set this up on Automatic payments and all was going well. In Oct 2014 the payment did not come out and I contacted their offices immediately to find out what the problem was. I was advised that [redacted] pulled the account and your company was no longer handling this any further. I have tried calling them to get a copy of the original payment plan we had in place as my husband is trying to get a job and the background check came back with this judgment and we need to show them that we did pay as agreed until [redacted] pulled the account.Desired Settlement: I would like a copy of the agreement of payments that were made. I would also like a letter stating that we paid on time and as agreed up until [redacted] pulled the account. If that could be emailed asap to me that would be great. Email: [redacted]

Thank you

Review: I Received a 1099-C from [redacted] for account ending in 8219 in the amount of $4,032.83. Now (2 years later) this law firm is attempting to collect on the cancelled debt.

This is illegal in all 50 states

According to the FTC........Companies can accept voluntary payments but are not allowed to send bills on cancelled debts nor are they allowed to solicit payments.Desired Settlement: Stop billing me for this cancelled debt. I've already had my taxable income increase $4000 and [redacted] has zeroed the balance out on my personal credit report.

If you bill me again for this erroneous debt.........I will file formal complaints with the [redacted]

Response:

Review: I am deeply concerned about the validity of this collection agency. I have not received any receipts of payments I have done for this debt I am paying off through them. They will not respond to my phone calls or my emails about inquiring about my remaining balance on the account or any proof of each month's payment other than my bank statement. Their website for sending payment will not load and is not valid and I cannot send payment in a timely manner if they can't even hold up their side of the debt judgement and provide for me a way to pay each month before the agreed due date.Desired Settlement: I want RSIEH to send me emails of my balance and that they have received payment each month with a reference number so I know my payments are going towards paying off a debt. To not receive any contact from this law agency is making me very nervous and I need an explanation why their website is down when I am trying to make a payment with no warning whatsoever. I want my remaining balance emailed to me every month, as well as a receipt for every payment every month, on time with an email about any problems on the website where I make payments
