609-570-3039 - Has anyone heard about Hecker law firm?

These ppl are sick and don't knw who the hell they are messing with. To the idiot that spoke about paying ur bills. This has nothing to do with paying bills. Why? I on today received a phone call from a female requesting information also, The BITCH was flat out rude, sarcastic, degrading, etc. She had that type of attitude with me and I don't fucking know the BITCH and that exactly what she is. I don't have a bill with these ppl r anyone else that is unpaid so these idiots have no right harrassing me. They claim they were looking for someone else but knew information about me and my husband. We don't have shit to do with ppl and their damn bills if that is what it is about. They are going to piss off the wrong ppl and someone will drive there and pop a CAP in their asses for that bull-shit!!!

Yes!!! I receive a call this morning from that office. 1800-355-0123 Requesting to speak with my daughter.
The man who call stated he was Tony Brewer from an attoney office of L hecker and file # 2293623. He could not get of hold of her and wanted to know if she live there and If my name was xxxx her mother and If I could give him her ph# cause the # he had was disconnected.
I refuse to give # and said I could send her an e-mail with the information.

Who are these people that find your phone# and call & invade your privacy by knowing who I was & my full name & ph.#'s and than in a about way threaten you and your child.

I was just contacted about a debt from 1988!!! That was included in a bankruptcy dated 1998!!! I told the lady not to contact us as it was illegal. Then I hung up on her. I'm sending a cease communication letter in the morning. They obviously don't know about laws etc.

Here is another address for the phone number 800-355-0123, it's 2C S. Gold Dr Hamilton, NJ 08691.

for this person who thinks they are all high and mighty and giving the advice to pay their bills. Obviously you are one of the fortunate ones who have not lost their job or had hours or work cut back. If you wore these people's shoes then you wouldnt be so smart elleck in your comments about paying bills. I wish people like you would have to suffer through hard times just to show you how it is. If these folks could pay, im sure they would. See how you like falling on your face in these hard economical times. Most people created debts and were paying them just fine til the economy went south, now they live paycheck to paycheck just to keep the rent paid and the lights on. So whoever you are, your day will come!!!!

I have reported them to an attorney who is well aware who they are. The problem is that they have tried to locate their actual headquarters and failed several times. But not much longer. They were just recently sued for 7.9 million dollars by the state attorney in W. Virginia. Somehow he managed to locate them for approaching people that were paid up or way past SOL's. He was ordered to pay the plaintiffs back over $50,000 plus other penalties.
They have contacted me and done things that were not FTC compliant as well as Pinnacle which farms out to them which they also committed violations, especially for things that they admitted to me that was their mistake. I even have that recorded but informed them that befdore we went on with the conversation.
They tell me that they were going to send some people to my house....I told them I wish they would. I told them if that happens, they will not return.

I get collection calls from Hecker for an unknown person. When I call to complain, I get a belligerent reply that they have never heard of me and hung up on. This is crap!

Boy, you'd be a lot more credible if you learned to spell.

who are you addressing humanoid?

Yep. Me too. The crappy phone call with a rude rep from the "Law offices of Laurence Hecker" I thought she said "Heckler" and started laughing. Anyway, same story as everybody else. She began the call by asking me if I had ever heard of Washington Mutual Bank. WTF? I had NO idea who this person was, why they were calling, and when I tried to ask questions she went nuts. I got the letter a few days after the phone call (I had to hang-up on her just like everybody else).

The client is stated as Pinnacle Credit Services. I'm not sure I ever had a cc with the original creditor. It doesn't ring a bell. I did go back and look at my divorce decree and my ex and I split credit card debt. Still couldn't tell though and that was a long time time ago. Could be past SOL. I really do need proof and I asked for it in writing, citing the various federal laws (as well as my state statue). But really, that's not the concern is it??

I pulled my credit report and this account IS on my report. AND it now shows I made a payment on this card earlier THIS YEAR!!! I looked this up. It's called "re aging" and it's (of course) against the law. So first I don't know if this is an account I ever had, don't know if I even owe on it if I did have this account, certainly haven't made a payment on this account this year, and the letter from Laurence Hecker says I owe 11k+. Wow.

Mr. Hecker was not disbarred. He was SUSPENDED for 3 months in 2001 for misconduct of an employee and poor supervision of that employee (and for rehiring that employee, who stole money from a client repeatedly and was an addict). Hecker was ruled against in a PA court in 2005 for misleading statements in his letter(s) to alleged debtors. (The wording has been changed as a result of that ruling). In November of 2010, the AG of West VA did indeed force Hecker to pay 45k + costs BACK to victims in that state. These were people who had paid Hecker's various collection entities (APM Financial is one of them), on debts they either didn't owe at all or debts that were past the SOL.

Bottom line for me? Sent letter as required- requesting proof of Hecker's licensing to collect debt in my state, proof of the original debt, amount owed broke-out by principle, interest and claimed fees, documentation of how many times the debt has been bought and sold etc etc (look up everything your latter must have in it) and MOST importantly: disputing that I owe the debt in the first place. You must clearly write: I do not believe I owe what you say I owe. (Or simple words to that effect).

Now I will file complaints with: FTC, Washington State AG, New Jersey Board of Ethics (phone number 609-530-400 and wait and see what happens. I already have grounds for criminal violation of WA State Fair Credit Statutes bc the original phone call came from an employee who claimed to be an attorney and at no time identified herself as a debt collector. In addition, I have proof of re-aging and this debt has been reported to the CBs (credit bureaus) by more than one entity, all part of Hecker's alliance. (The latter is a bit weak, I admit. But Pinnacle, APM vCollect Global and others are part of the Hecker Alliance).

As for you, Hecker Employee, you who attacked people who just need to pay their bills and blah blah blah. I CANNOT wait until misfortune befalls you. And I'm deadly serious about that. Because it will.

LASTLY: DO NOT MAKE PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS OVER THE PHONE EVER. This "firm" will drain your account and/or withdraw funds well past the agreed upon amount.

They called my house yesterday asking for a reference of some name I could not understand. I hope they dont have any of my information

Write them a Cease and desist letter

In most States, a recorded conversation IS LEGAL AND ADMISSABLE IN COURT -IF one of the parties recorded is aware of the recording. And, if the recording begins by informinf the other party that the conversation is being recorded, then BOTH PARTIES are aware, which should take care of any exceptions not coveref if you record yourself.

They want me to keep sending them money but they will not give me a reciept. I am going to file a complaint. My rating for them
