Not just servers are submitting false claims on debt, but also divorce cases also. I personally am still fighting a default against me in Texas, because a process server submitted a doucument stating I was servered, when I made a complaint to Andrew Cuomo office, they forward my doc to consumer affairs, and the process server admitted to not serving me…so now I am still fighting to have the default reversed. I can’t get no help from the people in NY, to help.

One of these Law Offices went after my daughter for over $2,900 that she did not charge. Many put on all kinds of fees and charges to pad the debt. What gives them the right to just add to the original bill and raise it to such heights people are broke. How can they be such crooks and get away with it, because they think they can do it.?

Most of the people were not served at all, they just fill in some sort of description and make believe they served you. People beware, they are liars and will take you for all you have. They will go after your wages and you will be in big debt for a long time.

They ought to go after Pioneer Credit Recovery… but they won’t because they collect Government Student Loans. However, they USE THE SAME TACTICS as the agencies listed above.

I’ve personally had one “representative” flat out tell me the FDCPA doesn’t apply to them. Then when I told her she was lying, and I’ll have her talk to my attorney, she said “You can’t afford an attorney”, and went on to tell me how those who can’t pay their bills can’t pay an attorney.

What these people don’t realize is that they’re collecting student loans, which means they’re usually dealing with people with some level of higher education, and are usually astute enough to educate themselves on the law.

Of course, the collectors seem to be unaware of this, and still come with an air of superiority… they don’t have to worry about taking out loans for higher education.

I work for Academy Collection Services. My manager Crieg Shmugger ( unsure of spelling ) would tell his collector ( Say what ever you want, just get the money ). Mr Shmugger is still working there. He would use his collector to do the dirty work and fire them when they were caught. This was the cost of doing business. It cost him nothing but it cost his worker there jobs
