Forster and Garbus law firm - Has anybody heard of them before?

Let me know what your attorney says, generally legal consultations are free. Be sure to ask though.

I don't have an attorney. Can I do this on my own in court?

You could, but I wouldn't suggest it as there is a lot of legal tape to cut through and they could tear through your defense in court if you don't know how to handle it correctly as a decent attorney would.

Ok but can I at least go into court and ask the judge to vacate the judegement and therefore release the suspension on my banking account ASAP? If so, how long will it take to be inforeced and released?

You'll likely get into court faster with an attorney than pro se [representing yourself]. Attorneys often havve some tricks that we lesser mortals dont. At worst, it won't take any longer.

I've read everything you've posted to date. In your shoes, there ain't no way I'd go to court pro se.

At this point I have no money to pay an attorney because my account is frozen.
If I do find an attorney what type should I pursue?
How long will it take to free up my frozen account if the judge vacates the judgement?

what documents do i need to bring to court when i ask the judge to vacate the judgement?

You can go in with the intention to sue Forester and Garbage, er Garbus. Get yourself a attorney that uses a contingency fee. Where they just take a certain percentage of your winnings from the suit. Ask around different law offices. A good place to go is naca.net At least it's a start.

Thanks for the help. I checked out the website and now I'll wait for them to reply.

why do companies like f&g have to look like the bad guys?? the person is debt signed a contract to pay the bill and broke the contract, and then they wait for their bank account to get frozen to call and then claim to have never been served, cry me a river , that has been said a billion times, everyone is so quick to sue a debt company trying to play victim, if someone was done is the begining before litigation it would not have happended

stop looking for a quick way to sue and an easy way out take care of your responsibilities , god forbid you pay your bill oooooooooooooooo

Little Timmy: Look mommy, a forum troll!

Timmy's mom: Yes honey, its the more common variety drama queen forum troll.

Little Timmy: Eww, thats gross!

ok let me get this right...so this " guest " paid $$ towards a bill, claims to not have been served...now was that discussed when they were paying the bill?? so they had no clue...but was paying the bill? am i right??...now your trying to sue for improper service and this " jcemt " said you will get your $$ back when your judgment is vacated ....if that isnt the biggest crock i ever heard ....WOW

Little Timmy: Look its another forum troll! are they gonna mate?

Timmy's mother: No Timmy, it's probably the same one. It just made itself look different. It's probably going to have to mate with itself.

Little Timmy: Eww, thats kinky!

Timmy's mother: Only the first time dear...

To clear things up to the original poster. I'm not saying that this will erase the debt by getting the judgment vacated. It will simply null any awards granted so far as they had been granted it due to dysfunctional service and they will be forced to refile the right way and actually give you the chance to be present to defend yourself with legal council if you so choose (which I recommend) as is your constitutional right.

Well I guess "no comment" and "loohoozaher" (re-read because you did not get it right) have never been through this type of situation before and always do things the right way. The reast of us are human and make mistakes at times. No river to cry here because I have no problem paying the debt. I already told them that in writing and they never responded. My problem is the improper way in which this F&G manipulated the situation. Their affidadit of service was filled with inacurate information (lies) including dates, times in which I was at work, not to mention claiming to also have served a copy to a neigbor that does not exist. After I researched them I found out they have done the exact same method to numerous other people. Oh and for your information after speaking with a few attornies they say a class action lawsuit against them would stop their wrong doings.
