Pressler and Pressler - Do consumers like dealing with them?

I, too, need help dealing with this situation. I wasn't even aware I was getting sued, since I had been out of town for a few months dealing with different deaths in my family. I returned a few days ago and saw that one of my accounts had been garnished. Since I had no knowledge I was being sued, a judgment was entered against me in default. I need some type of guidance on what to do. Can I get the money back? What steps do I need to take in this instance? Will anyone take on the case so I can fight back?

There's are reasons that Pressler & Pressler can't be stopped and are allowed to spin out of control the way they do. Here they are:

Sheldon H. Pressler, owner of Pressler & Pressler has been an appointee to the Committee of the Special Civil Part (which handles the rules governing the courts) for over 20 years. He's the president of the Bar of the Special Civil Part (a group of attorneys who sue people, and which oversees the judges), he's the attorney for the New Jersey Association of Collection Agencies, he's member of the New Jersey State Bar Association Special Civil Part Committee, and he's a member of the Consumer Credit Association of New York and the Commercial Law League of America.

As such, he and his company run rughshod with carte blanche over the average person. Standing up to someone who oversees the judges is a daunting task. How can you possibly win against someone who is on the committee that can make a decision on whether or not a judge keeps the job he or she has got?

The fox is guarding the hen house, here, and it seems that Pressler and his firm are untouchable.

That's why it's time to write your Senators and Congressmen and have him removed from any position of authority over the courts and/or laws of the State of New Jersey so long as his firm continues to practice in those same fields - it's a blatant conflict of interest.

Please someone help me find the right direction. I got into credit card trouble while in college and Pand P are after me the same as everyone on this site. Please someone give me direction in plain English. I appatrently owe them a little over 3k and have been paying for about a year now. (stupid). I asked them over the phone for prrof that they purchased the debt and they blew it off and stated they didnt have to show me anything. Help!!!

we need more info here, but broadly speaking if you have been paying for a year then the time to request validation has long since past. is there another company trying to collect on it?

Debt validation per the FDCPA needs to be done IN WRITING!! They do not have to honor a verbal request.
