Hiday & Ricke, P.A.

sandy, thank you for sharing your story. i googled hiday and ricke and found this site. the are trying to garnish my wages but they did things wrong. it is a long story but the garnishment was dissolved because the court did not recognize that hiday and ricke owned my debt. but ****** ****** with hiday and ricke refuses to believe that his garnishment is dissolved because he did not receive a copy. i have made offers which have been refused. i do not deny this debt. today i called to see if they accepted my last offer and they did not. i tried to explain to ***** ****** that he would never receive a copy of anything from the court because the court still has the debt with the old law office. copies were sent to them. so he got mad, called me names and hung up in my face. again thank you for posting your story!!

I have been reading all that have posted here, i can agree with it all, i am going through something with this law firm right now, i called them just the other day trying to resolve the debt, no sooner than i got off the phone with the guy, i tried calling back because it appeared to me like the guy did not want to help me, so i called back and spoke with another rep she giving me details about 3 different accts 1 acct dont even recall doing business with them, the next thing i know is that my bank calls me and tells me that they have put a freezre on my acct, mind you i paid my bills out this acct and guess what, my stuff being returned for NSF, i talked to three people there and not one of them told me about this was about to happen, so now i contact Legal aide, bu the way i responded to the letter that they sent, certified mail, never got a response, but yet got a response from them telling me my car had a lien on it, but still never told about my acct being frozen until my bank called me. sad situation, and the awful thing about it is, i just put xxxx amount of dollars in the acct to try to settle, its a mess. and they are not helping the matter, they put me in a situation and i have no access to my funds and they said it will take at least 30 days.

you must have talked to that teri scab chick, she talks nice and then sinks her teeth into your ass worse then a pitbull

she tried to take everything i had. she got most of it

I am also going through a big mess with this company and am suppose to go to court next week. I am disability income and yet they went through my bank to garnish my wages. I have sent ****** ****** all the proof he asked for and he was very nice at first and when he returned my call last week he was like a totally different person and started harrasing me. I have been out of work for a little over a year now because I am sick and believe me this is all making me sicker too. Did anyone speak to anyone else at Hiday & Ricke? Go to court? What was the outcome?

I have got papers to send and pull from my employee
he said they are fake but a judge in miami stamped it
he said he will quit me before he gets pay deducted
the never served him he says

Trying to deal with ****** and he is like a random number generator. I have verbally agreed to what they asked for, which is more than 6 weeks net pay but I want it in writing before I send them more money. Since I have to borrow the money from any one that will still talk to me. The stress from this is putting me back under the knife for another heart operation and still no help from anyone. Went to a lawyer about it and he was as worthless as tits on a nun. These guys have no idea what they are doing to people and really don't care. Luckily the company I work for could switch me to paper checks or I would be homeless right now. **** ********** ** * ************ *******.

To day after I got a letter from the attorney they garnished my wages. It that legal and also, I filed a claim of exemption and request for hearing. Do I have rights.

There's good info here. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog. Keep up the good work mate!

Hiday & Ricke already took my tax return in 2008 when I was unemployed. Now they are back contacting my HR Dept at my new job trying to subpeona information from my workplace. They also just sent a letter to my house asking for information and it states I have 10 days to respond. I need a lawyer ASAP!!

The very same happened to me. Chase would not allow terms that I could pay, sent it
to collections, obtained judgment & now H & R attempts to garnish wages every time
I get a job. I am unable to keep a job when employers receive the letter. I will have to
find employment "under the table" if I am to survive. They say they will allow payment
arrangement (under their terms). I will go to my grave still owing this. So very sad

Hello,

I'm not a lawyer, but in the state of Florida there is what is called the Florida Department of Fininacial Regulation. You will see it under the state attorney's website. You can launch a complaint there. I haven't been able to get my questions answered either. After I finish with my debt issues with H & R, I will file a complaint myself and they will tell you the right answer.

I just replied to the last post with the same answer. I'm not a laywer, but Chase and H & R- there is something wrong here. I would submit a claim with the Florida Department of Financial Regulation about them both. There are laws to project you and you need to know what they are. You can find your rights at the State Attorney website and look under credit collection ect. After I settle with H & R I will also file a complaint because the same thing happened to me. Surely something is a miss.

I'm sending this to you and everyone on this site - launch a complaint witht the Florida Office of Financial Regulation. The Fl laws say they can not treat you the way they have. I will be sending mine in, in about a week. I believe if enough of us do, H & R and Chase will be spending a lot of their time explaining their policies. The same happened to me too. Good luck. You can find it online or call 850-410-9800

Launch a complaint - see them on the web or call 850-410-9800. I think if enough people do this things will change.

these people are awful. they have threatened to put a lien on my husbands only vehicle and have taken money out of his checking account! they are now also threatening to do it again even though his only income is his disability check. they also sent him a 5 page questionaire last year demanding that he provide information - i.e., my salary, employer, bank account numbers, my vehicle info., etc. My husband's debt was incurred BEFORE we were married so I don't owe them diddly. in their letter they also stated that if he didn't provide it that he would be in contempt of court! did anyone else get this kind of letter from these scum sucking pigs??? They will get theirs - and yes, I am complaining to the Florida Department of Financial Regulation.
