| Pressler & Pressler Levied Unemployment Funds - NEVER PROVIDED ACCOUNT INFORMATION! Parsippany, New Jersey |
| 6th of Jul, 2011 by User304329 |
THIS FIRM MUST BE TAKEN DOWN! I received their "information subpoena" twice threatening to issue a warrant if I didn't comply and divulge all my personal information, drivers license, social security number, bank accounts. However, they must have an internal connection with TD BANK because they somehow found out my checking account information and proceeded to take unemployment funds from my account. In speaking with the court officer, it was a huge runaround and I had to file this and motion for that and basically run around like a chicken with my head cut off to get $370.00 back on a debt that they absolutely refused to confirm from a business that isn't even in business anymore. On top of that, I lost an additional $125.00 because the county charges it as a "levy" fee. Pressler and Pressler has left me on hold repeatedly (at least three times) in excess of 30 minutes (I hung up), but was extremely timely in sending me the affadavit of levy. TD Bank, noted on the affadavit, knows nothing about who could have given my account number that NOT EVEN MY WIFE knows! It's only ME and THE BANK! I would be so glad to participate in a class action lawsuit against these straight up felons! They have been the stars of many television stations investigative reports including Fox 5 and UPN 9; be sure to check youtube. You'll find it. They served my former address with two judgements, and I didn't find out about them until I pulled my own credit early this year. Apparantly, I have another debt with these bozos with another company that is completely out of business. So, between Pressler & Pressler and TD Bank, I want to know how Pressler & Pressler AKA Palisades Collection became privy to my personal account information, secondly, why did the bank allow my UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION to be levied? See, you can't levy welfare, social security, disability, or unemployment in the state of New Jersey. I've suffered damages as well as divers as a result of this levy. They've closed my bank accounts (thank GOD, I wouldn't go back to TD if my life depended on it! They have loose lips!) They never verified the debt after a written request via certified mail stating that in the fair debt act they were required to provide me with PROOF OF DEBT! Don't answer their calls. Don't mail in ANY information. Even debt agencies hate dealing with these fools because of the same stunts they pulled with me. Until you see a LEGAL SUBPOENA or a COURT ORDER from THE COURT ITSELF, don't give up anything. GO to court! Don't make the same mistake I did!

The problem is they are in bed with some of the banks-that's how they know how & when you have money in your acct.
They are also in bed with the court officers & the judge |

They aren't in bed with the banks. It's actually a bit more involved than that.
For NJ residents, if you are receiving their Information Subpoenas, then that means that they have a judgement against you and failed to collect on your debt so far. They will try several last-ditch methods until your debt is ultimately closed in their office--unless they have a lien on your house or a levy on your auto.
Keep in mind that if you fail to fill out their Information Subpoena, they cannot have cops break down your door and haul you into the slammer. IF they file for a warrant AND the court accepts it, then if you have a run in with the law you will be brought into a courthouse and forced to fill it out. They WILL NOT throw you in jail--period.
Chances are, they performed a bank levy on all of the banks within your county. The letters simply get thrown out at banks where you do not have an account. But, if they get a hit, the banks are forced to comply. They could have also gotten your information from the credit bureau. Although debit/checking accounts will not show up on your credit report, if you reported it to a credit agency in hopes to open a line of credit, then they may have gotten it that way.
Your best bet is to call them, tell them they took your EXEMPT GOVERNMENT FUNDS and you want it back. They will probably ask you for proof and eventually release the funds back to you. If you are unable to ever pay off this debt, then I would suggest you find yourself a free lawyer and go to court over this. Even if it means you paying $5 a month for the rest of your life, it's better than dealing with the headache of a judgement over your head.
They WILL try to weasel out assets from you when you call. Remember--"THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO COLLECT A DEBT. ANY INFORMATION WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE!" The ONLY answers you would need to comply with is enough for them to identify you (DOB, address, and/or SS). Even this information COULD help them solidify a case against you (if you match 2 but say your address was wrong in their records, etc). They'll probably ask you where you work, if you're a homeowner, where you bank, etc. I also told them NOT to call me or send me ANY letters in the mail--they complied as they do not want to be sued for harassment.
Good luck :-) |
