Unifud CCR garnishment

Unifund ccr and Wachovia bank garished my bank acct, which contained my S.S income. The social securit admin. had nothing to with it. (reply to ANSWERS 4/16/2011)Because I had other money in my acct it was considered"comingled monies". Another words I lost ALL of my income for April of this year.This is all due to a Providian $300 credit card which the balance is now up to @$3006.50.I never recieved a summons to appear or any papers notfying me of a judgement. Had I recieved notification the bill would have been paid as my wife and I were both working in 2003.

Unifund's Illegal Operations

Unifund and the state of Florida garnished my social security that is directly deposited into my bank account. According to all that I can find, Social Security income is exempt from such garnishments. I thought we had all the bad guys gone from the financial market...what a joke our government is. I now can barely survive and cannot afford to lose any money so I look at my bank account online to see how much I have left for food and all my money that I had left in the world was gone. I do not want to be an American any more if that is the kind of country we have become.

on the list of Major Exemptions Under Federal and State Law:

1. Social Security Benefits and supplemental security income (SSI) (42 U.S.C 407)eB

Guest

After a judgment is granted to a plaintiff against a defendant they can request the court to order a bank to withhold money from the defendant's bank account to pay on the judgment.

When the court authorizes the bank garnishment it is served to the bank and is then typically handled by an attorney or registered agent for the bank. The bank has a court order (the garnishment) to withhold the funds from you. SSI is supposed to be exempt. It is up to the bank's attorney or RA to determine what money can be garnished based on the court documents they were served with.

If money that should've by law been exempt was withheld...it was by fault of the bank. Not the court, not the plaintiff's attorney, nor the plaintiff. None of them have any way of knowing how much money is in the account or where it came from. It's all up to the bank to handle the garnishment.

Your best option is to take an issue like this up with your bank. If they're not responsive you should seek counsel and go after the bank to get your money back. The bank is who made the mistake in this situation.

I work for a nationwide bank and this happens all the time because the banks do not put in the resources they should to handle these court orders they way they should.

Guest

Social Security is exempt when it is coming directly from SSA. If it goes into your bank accout it is out of SSA hands and therefore SSA did their part they delivered you a full check it is the bank making the garnishment not SSA.

As far as a SSI check goes with the bank again once it is out of SSA hands and paid to you the bank can garnish that as well.

After being transfer to you from SSA it is your check and any garnishments against the bank account is between you and the bank. I know this for a fact I worked for SSA for many years.

Guest

Go online and get a copy of 42UCS407 which makes your check untouchable BUT you must not have any other types of funds (deposits) co-mingled with your SSI or SSA. The bank and creditor can logically say: How do we know which is which and override your objection?.

Guest

SSI is exempt but u must prove the money in ur bank is only ssi

if it is what u say prove it and pay ur debt so things like this do not happen

Guest

isn't that against the law to take your social security check? u need to call someone about this and get it fixed.

Unifund ccr partners

I am on a fixed income and I checked my bank account on 10/9/10 , and found a charge from unifund ccr partners for 293.98 which put my account overdrawn. I do not know this company and did not approve this company access to my account. I didn't think that and if I remember no debt collector can access goverment checks, is this true. If this is true how can I get this off my account? I can't believe that they can actually go into someone private account and access it without permisson of the holder.

UNIFUND is a huge ripoff. They are coming after me for a default judgement from 2004.

They never even validated where the debt is from. They have no account number assigned to the account which only has my name.

UNIFUND C.C.R Arizona

I was given a judgment on a lawsuit that was dismissed in one court and re filed in another, even though the debt was out of SOL and never validated by UNIFUND or Bursey and original lawsuit was filed before notice of debt and demand to pay. Were you wronged? Class Actions have already been filed and won in other States..now it's Arizona's turn! Send EMail Tenasi2007@***.com if you have issues with UNIFUND I am looking for anyone in Arizona who wants to file against UNIFUND C.C.R for violating the Fair Debt laws.

Unifund is garnishing my moms bank account!

My mom is being harrassed by this unifund company she lives in Mahaska County in Iowa. At first I was trying to tell my mom to just pay this bill off, and she kept trying to convince me that she didn't even know what it was for.

They garnished her checking account for about 3 months. She had to make sure she got to the bank when her check was deposited or they would take every penny she had, leaving her NOTHING to pay her bills. I have even helped her out a little because of this. I'm not sure how much they ended up getting out of her account but when this garnishment was over she was served with more papers from the sheriff's department.

She went to the clerk of court and contested this garnishment and they set up a court date or "hearing" with her and Unifund for Feb 17. After reading the comments on this page it scares me that they won't leaver her alone, they will not provide her with a statement for what credit card it was for or what the supposed charges were made on the card, they are just telling her that she owes of $900. My mom is a single family income and barely makes it the way it is. What should she do?

She doesn't have the money for an attorney. HELP!!!!

Unifund targets the mentally ill & sick.

Pollack & Rosen, a law firm in Coral Gables, is suing me for a credit card bill that was charged off in 2004. They have yet to supply me with any proof of this account so I have to go back to court again. I think i can beat them because they have no proof this is my account. I am looking to find more people who fit my profile. I suffer from fibromyalgia and major depression. Pollack & Rosen knew this before they took me to court. i believe this is reckless endangerment and I also believe they are purposefully targeting the sick & mentally ill. We are the most vulnerable to their bullying harassment. If the debtor dies, their chance of obtaining their $$ goes up by 10%. The grieving family are harassed until they pay. I firmly believe Unifund is trying to make me kill myself.

File a Motion to Dismiss due to lack of proof. They have to prove the account is yours.

Most junk debt buyers (Unifund being one of many) don't have any of this info...just basic name, address, SS#, amount that may or may not be the true amount, ect. I've done it with Assett Acceptance and they folded and dismissed due to lack of proof. Study your states case law and know your statue.

Look up how and what to file pertaining to motions. It's not that hard.

Guest

Funnily enough I used to work at Pollack & Rosen. Unifund is a cash-cow, always hitting quota on judgments anyway. Yes, when you die, it's easier to collect, because your families will just pay what you owe.

But the truth is, you OWE IT. Either pay up, or reconsider the fact that you charged a credit card a lot of money.

I believe credit is *** and is what ruined this nation's economy. But at the same time, if you messed your credit up, that's your own *** fault.

Now fix it, before someone else has to. And if you didn't owe so much money, you probably wouldn't be depressed all the time.

Guest

Read the article in The New York Times about the debt collectors going after the dead. Unifund's rate of recovery goes up 10% if they convince a depressed person to commit suicide!

They have motive - greed- for targeting mentally ill people because the family of suicides are very vulnerable. So I am perfectly serious - I've done the research.

Guest

u were not unstable when u charged that credit card :p

Guest

No offense, but mentally ill and sick are the target demographic? Please - that makes no sense that you're the most lucrative consumer worth pursuing?

Gee, let's go after the folks who are broke, ill and unstable... yeah!!

Try saying that out loud to yourself once for I think you'll find it as foolish as I do!! :grin Seriously, why don't you focus on the real victims here.

Hosto & Buchan and Unifund

I was served with papers last week by Hosto & Buchan. I live in Texas and I am being sued in Dallas County for a credit card I never had. The plaintiff is Unifund CCR Partners and defendants listed include my husband, my mother and myself. I am aware that my mother had this account with Chase Manhattan and was afraid my stepfather would find out about it. When she was unable to pay it she was served papers last year by Unifund CCR Partners. My Stepdad hired an attorney and they went to mediation several times. When I received the papers I made phonecalls to members of my family and it seems that my stepdad told the attorneys that I stole this card. I guess my mom was still too scared to tell him the truth. I have filed an answer to the court asking them to remove my name as this is not, nor has it ever been my account. I also contacted Hosto... asking for any documents they have showing that I was responsible for this account. If anyone can give me further advice I would love to hear from you.

Garnishment from Unifund. Desperately need information

Unifund is currently suing me for an old 2005 judgement.

In 2007 we refinanced our home and I'm pretty sure we had to pay that judgement off in order to

be able to refinance.

Our refinance papers state that $4,000.00 was paid to CRS Recovery Systems in our 2007 refinancing. Almost the same about I am being sued for by Unifund.

I can't seem to find out anything about CRS Recovery Systems. I have looked at their web site and it is a debt collection company, but does not give me any option to ask questions, other than a phone number. I have left about 7 messages with no response.

Can someone please help me? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Can someone out there please help me?

Yes, if you have a Judgement against you, you must pay it before buying/selling a home. So you need to do some leg work and prove that this amount was already paid in full.

It's definitely like these junk debt buyers to keep suing even if it's paid. If they can get away with it and nobody contests to it, they do it all the time. Did/Do you have any other outstanding credit card amounts? Are you SURE this amount is the amount you paid off with you refinanced?

CRS Recovery Systems could have sold the amount to Unifund.

So it seems it's not been paid in full, according to their books. You need to provide proof and file a motion with the court.

Guest

Garnishment...Unaware until 60mo. Beleive 5 old acct.

Credit card (2) now $44k.. Impossible.. Might of been a USER only..But not obligated to pay.. AM on SSI now..

But they are trying to stop any home re_fin.... Until they receive the unjust collection.

Guest

You need to contact an attorney who is familiar with 3rd party collectors. You can also check the Statute of Limitations for debt in your state.

The SOL differs depending on the type of debt (secured or non-secured). Your attorney will first find out if you still owe the debt. If the debt is still outstanding, he will check the Statute of Limitations and will also demand that Unifund provide proof of the debt.

The burden of proof is on Unifund. Be sure to get a knowledgable attorney!

Unifund CCR Partners abusive tactics

I am now being sued in Kane County IL by Unifund CCR Partners for the 4th time on a debt that doesn't belong to me. They are once again using their bottom feeder attorney Arthur B. Adler & Associates. Although Unifund has been given all of the information it has requested it continues to try and sue me for money I do not owe. Their wonderful bottom feeder attorney group will file the suite and hope that you do not show at the return date and get a default judgment. However, Showing up and contesting the complaint doesn't go over well with them. They will oppose a trail date and seek a status court date in the future. After agreeing on that they will then file a motion for a continuance to a different date (state they notified although never via certified mail – go figure). They then have a fresh court date of which you do no know about and obtain a default judgment. If you catch them however they will seek continuance after continuance until a trail date is set. At the trail since they have no evidence they again how you will not show up. If you show up they are again disappointed and will have the case dismissed without prejudice. So now you think this is behind you, boy are you wrong. The bottom feeder waits about 8 or 9 months and then files again because they can within 1 year. The cycle starts over again. This company and the useless bottom feeder attorneys will do everything they can to abuse and bully you out of money they do not deserve. Stand up and fight do not let them get away with this. The Bottom feeder attorney wonder why the have a bad name for themselves- go figure. There is a reason that 1000 lawyers on the bottom of the ocean joke excists.

Hey BUBBA55, I've also been sued by Unifund /Adler & Assoc., in DuPage County. Yes, the best thing is to answer their complaint on time and attend every court date. Hire a consumer attorney if you can; there are a few around Chicago who will defend for a reasonable fee.

Unifund usually wins only when the defendant fails to respond. But otherwise Unifund will back off, especially since their evidence tends to be flimsy.

If the case ends in dismissal without prejudice, it should be dismissed WITH prejudice the next time they sue and lose again. Also the statute of limitations in Illinois for credit card debt is 5 years.

Guest

I agree about this company. But I am one up on them.

I work in a state that has a law against garnishments from work wages.

:grin They will be bumming when I show up AND they cannot garnish my puny wages.

Wish you luck with them.

Unifund Is Ruining My Life!

Back in 2/2005 Unifund CCR Partners filed a judgment against my dad and I and saying I am his wife and we never received an summon for the court on date or time. Then they filed the same one again on 01/30/2007 saying the same thing that I am his wife and we never received an summon for the court on date or time again.

And the only reason I found out about this is I am trying to buy my first house and no one will help me because of this judgment against me.

I have already filed for 3 motion and the courts told me to get a lawyer and they are not going to help me and when I did call Unifund about the so called judgment they told me they don't know what I am talking about and they don't have anything on me except for this one thing which they sold it to another company and under my SS# they have me down as Jennifer Lusty and my name is Deanna. They told me they can't help me all I want is to get this off my Credit Report so I can buy a home for my children and family but no one will help me until I get this judgment off me.

I have pulled the records and they have my SS# under this judgment but when I pulled the original case on my dad’s credit report it shows the company that start it was back in 2001 and it is under Providian National Bank (A Credit Card Bill) and it said it is a individual account I made copies of everything I just don't have a lot of money for a good lawyer. The Lawyer for the Judgment is in Tucson, AZ but the court on this is in Apache Junction, AZ.

My family and I lived there for 20 years and got tired of being in debt so we moved to Missouri on 6/2007 to get away from it all and we feel it was the best choice we made in our life.

The information on the lawyers for Unifund is Bursey & Associates, P.C.; 6740 North Oracle Road Suite 151, Tucson, AZ 85704 Phone: (520) 529-****; Toll-Free: (866) 629-****; Fax: (520) 529-****. One more thing is I live in Missouri but everything is from Arizona so do I find help here in Missouri or do I find someone down there in AZ, I need help can anyone help me please?

We paid them for four years, and finished a year ago. Now they are claiming that we defaulted, and have put a judgment on me, and are asking for the default amount they threatened us with.We found they did not cash like five payments we sent. They work hand in glove with Pollack & Rosen law firm.

Guest

Yes, we are dealing with the same fradulent situation with Bursey and Unifund. Now they served my husband who was never on the original debt.

What can we do? Please contact me at rxmill@***.com

UNIFUND CCR PARTNERS and J Kurtzer are suing me

Unifund CCR Partners and attorney J Louis Kurtzer are suing me in Summit County Civil Court. My debt is more than 6 years old and was charged off by a company previously.

I have done some research on Kurtzer and Unifund and they are buying old unverified debt (valid or not) and trying to get default judgements against people. This is a horrible act. They are abusing the court system to get default judgements and money that is doesn't belong to them!?! How can the judges let this happen?

Do the research. Look up J Kurtzer in the Summit County Clerk of Courts and see how many people he and Unifund are suing. It is one of the worst examples of a racket I have ever seen! They are defrauding the people of Summit County and the judges are helping (or at the very least permitting) them to do it!

Also look how many complaints they have against them on the Better Business Bureau! Obviously they are not a member with that status. I have hired an attorney and responded, and asked them to verify the debt. I am awaiting their response.

If you are also being sued by them, please respond to their complaint or the judge will grant a default judgement against you. Please also bring up the shady past of Kurtzer and Unifund and what they are doing to us the consumer. It is a travesty and they must be stopped. Don't let these debt collectors get away with this scheme!

Contact your attorney general, your local politicians, local news providers, and your local consumer advocates about this scheme. If we start speaking up, posting our stories on the internet, and helping each other out, they will have to listen to us.

P.S.- One of the counts they are claiming is "unjust enrichment." How is it that a debt collector paying 4 cents on the dollar is not being unjustly enriched in this process?

This is a clear double standard sided against a consumer and for a crooked business.

I have too been suid but not notified 4 years ago. The only way I found out is because of an employer doing a credit check on me.

Needless to say I did not get the job. I do not recall having this credit card that they are talking about. They will not provide me with anything documents with my signature indicating this is mine.

They are rude and are not willing to help me with this situation. I don't know what to do - Any suggestions???

U losers need to just pay ur debts. So what if Unifund buys debts that are charged off... u used the card so pay it...geez

Guest

Congressman Gary Ackerman's good friends, the Zises Brothers, will sue near 200,000 Americans this year for credit card default using the trade name "Unifund" registered with the Ohio Secretary of State (The trademark documents are available on-line and free.) Since the trademark "Unifund" is owned by a partnership, Credit Card Receivables Fund and ZB Limited Partnership, proceed checks to "Unifund" can be deposited in an account at the Israeli Discount Bank (IDB) for ZB Limited Partnership and or Credit Card Receivables Fund without being declared as income for Unifund CCR Partners (...hey State of Ohio, I think you will want your cut). My guess is that it is about a 90% skim.

The Zises Brothers doing this skim are the same Zises Brothers of Integrated Resources; a tax shelter scam that went bust some time ago. They are experts is avoiding income tax. And this scam is no different. In most states, Unifund is not registered with the Secretary of State as a tax paying business enterprise. That is because State code specifically excludes the filing of a collection lawsuit from the definition of “doing business". The legal theory goes along the lines that collection lawsuits are "loss mitigation" and not inherently a profit making enterprise. The IRS has similar rules that the Zises Brothers entities abuse to avoid declaring income.

The Zises Brothers have applied this tax avoiding principle to a business they have where the principle activity is to sue for profit...HUGE profits. Unifund has a contract with Asta Funding dba Palisades Collections to sue people on behalf of Asta Funding for a percentage of the judgment. This contract is for the purchase of bad credit card debit from Citibank and is funded, in part, by the Israeli Discount Bank for nearly $900M. Copies of publicly traded Asta Funding contracts can be purchased on-line. Much of it is available in quarterly statements. One of them specifically rewards Unifund with a 50% premium for collecting "outside the Statute of Limitations". Hey FBI, sounds like a violation of the RICO Act to me.

Now, where does the money go after it gets to ZB Limited Partnership. Well, ZB Limited Partnership at 767 3rd ave NY, NY is registered with the Ohio Secretary of State as a Foreign Corporation (doc available on-line and free) out of Delaware. You can search the Delaware Secretary of State database for legal entities, and you will find scores of filings by the Zises Brothers, including ZB Limited Partnership and Credit Card Receivables Fund, Inc. You will have to pay a fee for a copy of the document. Anyway, ZB Limited Partnership is owned by ZB/CCR Corp. (another account at the IDB). By the way, 31% of the Israeli Discount Bank is owned by the Israeli Government, and has been fined $12M for failing to implement anti-money laundering regulations.

The ZB/CCR Corp filing with the Delaware secretary of State has an interesting mailing address "C/O Forest Hill Capital, 800 Second Ave., New York, NY 10017". Forest Hill Capital is the old name for Family Management Corp (FMC), another IDB account; the same Zises Brothers company that manages the Congressman's money. So, now we know where the Unifund skim goes. But, this is where the trail gets very interesting.

Numerous business databases, including Manta, have a company known as Associated Capital, L.P. or A Capital or ACAP at 767 3rd Avenue 16th Floor, NY, NY. That is the same address as ZB Limited Partnership in the Ohio trademark filing (first one). Associated Capital was the single biggest contributor to funds supporting activity against the recently enacted finical and banking reforms. Gary, what sweetheart amendments did you get st save Associated Capital for the Zises Brothers?

It is a sure bet that the single biggest FMC investment is with Associated Capital. Does Associated Capital actually make any money? Or is it principal function to loose money, lots of money, for its clients (such as ZB/CCR Corp.)? If they loose so much, where does it all go? Let me shed a little light on the answer to this question:

"This Schedule 13G is being filed jointly by Associated Capital, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (”Associated”), its general partner, A Cap, Inc., a New York Corporation (”A Cap”), Jay H. Zises, the President and a director of A Cap, Selig A. Zises, Vice President, Treasurer and a director of A Cap, Nancy J. Frankel-Zises, a director, Vice President and Secretary and the sole stockholder of A Cap, and Associated Capital Offshore, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership (”Associated Offshore”). Associated, A Cap, Jay H. Zises, Selig A. Zises, Nancy J. Frankel-Zises and Associated Offshore are hereinafter sometime referred to collectively as the “Reporting Persons”. The business address of Associated Offshore is c/o Goldman Sachs(Cayman) Trust, Limited, P.O. Box 896, George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, British West Indies. The business address of each other Reporting Person is 477 Madison Avenue, 14th Floor, New York, New York, 10022. Jay H. Zises, Selig A. Zises and Nancy J. Frankel-Zises are each United States citizens."

I find it very interesting that the Israeli Discount Bank on 5th avenue in New Youk has semi-autonomous branches in Zurich Switzerland, Uruguay, Brazil, Chile and the Cayman Islands. Congressman Gary Ackerman, did you "loose" any money with FMC?

Unifund CCR Partners GP got a judgement against me in a FL court while I was working in AZ, for a credit card I have never seen. Nor did I ever receive a bill or past due statement from the credit card company!

The last name on their paper work is spelled different than my name. They have taken almost $2500 from my bank accounts and holding it in some account. I have asked for proof a credit card even exists and have been denied any copies of charges, etc.

Next step I guess is small claims court against them. An attorny wanted $2100 to defent the $2500......can't believe this could happen, but it did.

I have been in China teaching English. Someone some how got my new issued Credit cards and had a good time with them.

CCR filed a judgment on one of them to a address that I have not been in since 2005. I just got the paperwork here in China almost two months after the Judgment was done. What can I do. I was the only one allowed to use the cards.

I have not been to America since I left in 2005. I am so upset.

My husband just received at letter from J. Louis Kurtzer.

He called them and they could not give him the orig debt company phone number. What is that! They had stated that they would get the info and contact them. My husband pulled his credit report(thinking that maybe someone took a loan out with his ss#) The debt for this BIG amount does not show on his credit.

Now we have to sit and wait. I think they bought the debt and tried finding the person to pin the debt too and they sent the letter to us. The debt is not my husbands and we are not going to pay the debt.

I think you would know if you let a debt for 11,000.go without paying it.If we do not hear from them within 15 days we are going to get an attorney on this matter. As if we don't have enough worried in life.

I am currently in touch with these people. They had my husband's bank account held up and never contacted me at the right address - I'm now living in another state.

The judge says, back in my home state, that they cannot go through with the case because they didn't have the right address to contact me to begin with, therefore they would have to release the funds back into the account.

Then Unifund tells me that I have to call the bank to tell the bank to go ahead and cut the check to them if I want to pay the debt, and the interest will continue to grow if I don't pay by the end of the month . I haven't heard from these folks in three weeks..........
