This law firm called Pressler & Pressler break the law repeatedly to collect money from you and no one does anything about it. From day one they break the law by telling you that you can be arrested for not paying a debt. When I got the letter stating this I ignored it because even when I didn't understand my rights I knew I could not be arrested for it. For a debt I never had? Who ever heard of such a thing. I thought they were complete frauds. Come to find out they are frauds but they operate in the open. It's a legal scam and they prey on people hoping that you DO NOT KNOWING YOUR RIGHTS. They take you to court saying that you owe them money and you HAVE TO GO and ask for them to validate the debt. 9 out ten times they can't. But you have to waste your time proving this. THIS IS SO OBSCENE on every level. They don't even care if they got the right person, they just want the money. But I've learned how to beat them.

(Put their name in and read the obvious lack of regard for the law)

When you get that letter immediately send a debt validation letter to them. Keep the letter as evidence and contact the FTC, BBB, NJ AG and the NJ Bar. Report them to every place you can like here and Rippoff.com. If you are hauled into court GO and bring your letter they sent to you breaking the law. Enough people complain something will be done. THESE PEOPLE MUST BE STOPPED. You thought Hess Kennedy was bad, this one just boggles my mind. This is clearly ABUSE OF POWER AND SCAMMING THE CONSUMER It's too late for me but I hope this helps others.

I am going to make it my mission to exposed these people at every turn possible.

I have oral argument on the next potential decision to end Pressler & Pressler in October. Would like to chat with those looking to end their reign of terror.
Pressler filed their brief in August and we had a date for oral argument in Appelate Division in October. Scheduling oral argument typically takes 6 to 9 months. I believe the court hand picked this case to make a statement!

I am currently dealing with these bottom feeders. They filed two judgments against me on old debts that are time barred.I hired a lawyer and he is going to file a motion to vacate based on improper service of summons (Sewer Service) and the SOL has run out. When the motion is granted (god willing) we are going to then sue them for breaking the FDCA and trying to collect on a debt they had no business collecting in the first place. My lawyer knows these schmucks very well, and they are the worst of the worst.He has several other clients suing them. They prey on the weak, and count on you not to defend yourself. They try to ruin your credit and get everyone penny they can from you in the process. They buy your debts for a penny on the dollar and then turn around and charge you interest. If you receive anything from them, see a lawyer as most of the time they are breaking the law. Do not deal with them directly, they do not play fair. I know lawyers are expensive, but most give you a free consultation and you can see if you have a case and they can give you some direction.

As of today,Sunday, Sep. 21, 2008, I have been fiscally slaughtered, wiped out, destituted by the Pressler&Pressler scumbag "Law Firm" These modern day Pharisees robbed me in my sleep! I woke up this morning only to discover that I had a negative balance in my checking account .Before I went to bed the evening before I checked my account and it had almost $1,400.00. I had $1400 abscounded . I have no money to pay rent, my checking account(Which is used exclussivly for direct Deposit on my monthly benefit check) has a negative balance. I anticipate another total of $400 plus dollars will be charged by my bank for approximately 12 INF's at $35 a pop) I have no money for food, phone, ISP costs gas,medical bills ... My net worth is approximately -$3000. It is taking all of my energy to remain calm and not wind up back in a long term psychiatric facility.What these predators do is typical of the animal kingdom, where the strongest preditors attack the weakest pray. Who will come to the side of the road where robbers left me to die and assist me ? Please help!

Man I'm sorry. But you have to fight them at every turn. Fight to have the judgment vacated. They obviously have one against you in your county civil court or they would not be able to take your bank account. Fighting is the only way.

I woke up this morning like any other day, showered, got dressed and ready for work, and off to work i went. I got a phone call from my husband at 10:35 this morning saying that our bank account was a negative 3500! apparently this company withdrew this money from our account, without or permission, and theres nothing that the bank can do about it! I have never heard of this company before, havent recieved a letter, or anything. How are they getting away with this?!

You need to speak with the branch MGR of the bank and make him reverse the charges since it was fraudulently withdrawn. If the bank refuses to cooperate threaten to file a complaint with the The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency was created by Congress to charter national banks, to oversee a nationwide system of banking institutions, and to assure that national banks are safe and sound, competitive and profitable, and capable of serving in the best possible manner the banking needs of their customers. They are kinda like what the food inspector is to a restaurant . If they feel the bank if operating improperly they can shut it down .

Pressler and Pressler strikes again. I have a situation where the person did not even open the Verizon account that our bank account is being levied for. The total is about $400 dollars and the papers were served to the wrong person/address. The only knowledge we had of this whole thing was a brief conversation with Pressler and Pressler NJ where they were told we did not open the account. We were told papers were going to be sent to dispute the charge but we never got the papers and the next thinhg we know the account is levied. This of course happens just in time for rent and holidays. Of course never would of been a better time. Please help. I have read as much as my limited mind can absorb on this site and I have to be honest I am confused. At this point a default judgement has been given to Pressler and Pressler and our account just got levied. I am thinking the first step is to try to get the judgement vacated because the papers were not even served to the right person/address. I am also wondering if at the same time we can try to get verizon to let us pay the debt correctly so by the time the case is heard again there will be no case. First can someone tell me what form i need to fill out to get the case vacated and on what grounds and secondly can someone tell me if they think Verizon will be receptive to us working it out and will it help. Thirdly can someone tell me if there is anything that I can about the bank levy before trying to get the judgement vacated and if so what? I will keep updating this forum and hope that we can win this together. If we do win I will post a coupon to my website if I am allowed to. I am not posting the website because I think at this point it would be considered spam.
