Me again dirt on Norfolk Financial corp.

I did a lot of research on this company who is suing
me.

His name is Daniel W. Goldstone. He was disbarred in
2006 by the Supreme Judicial Court and can't practice
law for the next 8 years. He is not licensed to collect in the state of Massachusetts. He was sued by sears for $945,409 and dodged them for 5 years and eventually paid them only $89,000 according to the Supreme Judicial
Court ruling.

I found it funny that he has an employee who's name
is Maureen. I don't know her last name yet.
His lawyer is Maureen Forsyth, I don't know if there
is any relation.

all this information about him is here if anyone has
problems with this company.

If you do a search on his name or go to Business.com and do a search on Norfolk Financial Corp, you will find a load of information.

Welcome to the forum Guest, thanks for the useful (although disturbing) information.

"Praise the Lord, and pass the ammunition!" - Frank Loesser, 1942

That's a good quote Uncle.
Speaking of ammo, that's what my new avatar is. It's the bullet and about a inch past the cannulure. It's 7.62x54R
Let's see if ya know your guns, what rifle fires it?

Not to hijack this thread, but that's an easy one. Mosin-Nagant [among a great many others].

I suspect that the answer you're actually looking for, however, is the SVD Rifle. Known colloquially as the Dragunov [Russian variant] or Type 79/85 [Chinese variant]. Designed by E. F. Dragunov, and accepted by the Soviet military, 1963. Still in use in much of Asia and eastern Europe. The ones I've handled and shot were acceptable quality. Fit and finish were lacking, but accuracy was better than expected for an eastern bloc semiauto small arm of the era [mine is VN era Izhmash [Russian], early '70s production]. Overall, a functional, if butt-ugly, rifle. The M1-D is a better weapon for the designed role, the M-14 is better still. None of them is a match for a decent bolt action at any distance much over 600m.

Did I pass?

uncle always hijacks and is the authority...all hail to master unc

Guest- if you don't stop with the personal attacks, I will delete..Unc is really knowledgeable about alot of areas--if you need help, he can help

He is suing me too. His "employee" Maureen is the same person as his attorney Maureen Forsyth. A little bit more about this dirtbag is that as soon as MA enacted laws to prohibit debt collectors from practicing without a license, he shut down his business on VFW Parkway and moved his operation to RI, where there are no such regulations. Only thing is that he never really shut down the VFW Parkway office, that's where his little pal Maureen now is doing her "lawyer" gig from. She's not a lawyer, she's a debt collector with a law degree, trying to get around the laws of the state. She should be disbarred just like he was.

All his businesses in Rhode Island have been shut down.
He had an office under Peabody & Arnold LLC and Norfolk Financial Corp. had their certificate of authority revoked. I also noticed that his signature is very similar to the signature that was signed by Maureen Forsyth on the small claims notice. I keep getting more and more dirt on this company, it isn't even funny.

The license you say that she is missing, is it a license to practice law, or is it a business license?

I am getting annoyed. I found out, by the lawyer I opened the account in 1999. But for some reason she only has the transactions from 6/2002 on. She has nothing else prior to that.

She has a license to practice law. Massachusetts debt collection law excludes Attorneys-at-law acting on behalf of a client from the definition of a debt collector. But Federal law includes attorneys as debt collectors since 1986 I believe. Federal Law will override state law on that matter. So comes the question, If you have to be licensed in a state to be a debt collector and if an attorney's main business is debt collection,Federal law would count attorneys as debt collectors and would have to be licensed to collect such debt otherwise it would violate 1692k and 1692e. Attorneys in Massachusetts are manipulating the system in order to collect on a debt.

Unless Massachusetts has separate statutes governing how a debt collector must be licensed she will need to be an attorney that is licensed to practice law in that state, as well as any state they try to collect in (if they are using the attorney's name/letterhead) and they will need a business license for their state as well as any other state which requires them to have a license. They may also be required to file a surety bond as well, this varies from state to state.

OK I got a letter from Forsyth law offices telling me I can settle for a significant discount or payment plan. On April 7th, when I got the letter, it has a payment slip with a balance of $3,092.85. When I talked to her on the phone, she said I could pay the balance of $31xx.xx. Is that against the law? She is suing me in small claims court, the limit is $2,000, READ BELOW!!! This should be extortion.

As I read the law, If the amount is over $2,000 you can't waive the right of the remaining balance and just take a loss. If I remember corectly when I asked the clerk if I file a counterclaim can it be more that $2,000 and take a loss and she said NO! She said I would have to have it transfered to regular civil docket.

Please someone tell me how you interpret the law below.

Chapter 218: Section 21. Power to establish rules of procedure; venue; jurisdictional amount; hearings; damages and penalties

Section 21. There shall be within the district court department and the Boston municipal court department a simple, informal and inexpensive procedure, hereinafter called the procedure, for the determination, according to the rules of substantive law, of claims in the nature of contract or tort, other than slander and libel, in which the plaintiff does not claim as debt or damages more than two thousand dollars; provided, however, that said dollar limitation shall not apply to an action for property damage caused by a motor vehicle, and for a review of judgments upon such claims when justice so requires. The procedure shall not be exclusive, but shall be alternative to the formal procedure for civil actions begun by summons and complaint.

The first thing this tells me is that you can get the case dismissed for improper venue. They cannot file this in small claims court as it exceeds the two thousand dollar limit for small claims.

If I get it Dismissed then she can just turn around and get more out of me though right? That wouldn't be fair in my book. Unless I ask for it to be dismissed with prejudice, right?
