RA Brennan complaint thread
Date: Thu, 09/07/2006 - 08:07
After the nightmare of having my accounts from credicure transfered to the law offices of Richard A Brennan I am now with a new company they turned the account over to about a month or 2 ago.
The February payment so many of us had autodrafted and not distributed by Brennan is still in their possesion and I have been trying since June to get it back. It is by their own admission that the payment was not distributed from February but they still have not fulfilled any of their promises to resolve since early June. On 8/24 a supervisor in their processing department gave me a line of crap and swore he would get to the bottom of it and call me back that day, needless to say I recieved nothing and can now get nobody on the phone. They also have a "circle" system going where when you select that you are a credit counseling customer that it just throw you back to the main message again. Due to numerous late payments in the short period of time with Brennan's office my wife's credit score dropped almost 80 points due to their actions, they deduct the money on time and hold it for weeks.
I spoke with the Maryland Attorney General office this morning and he did some internet searching while I was on the phone to see the amazingly high number of complaints with the local BBB and Federal Trade Commission. He recommended I call the Maryland Bar at 800-492-1964, they in turn had me call the Attorney Greivance board for the state of Maryland at 410-514-7051.
After speaking to a nice woman in their office it became clear to me that they had heard complaints about this office but she said there was no "public" information they could give me on an investigation.
She did however tell me to go online to their site and get a complaint form to file, here is the link

You can download a pdf and mail it in, I'm sure if they haven't already started an investigation they with enough of these complaints mailed in they will start rattling chains at the office.
I encourage anyone with a legitemate complaint to follow through with this. I hate that I have been forced into this action but they have my money and will not give it back. They do not return phone calls or e-mails and I cannot get anyone on the phone, what else should I do?

I understand your point. It's quite surprising that the actions
I understand your point. It's quite surprising that the actions by the govt. against such illegal companies take so long to start. By this time, a company will cheat money from the people and run away. No one will run for finding them. It's time now for the authorities to fasten their belts and take actions against the companies with illegal means. There is an individual thread on this company here. Over there also, many people are expressing their concerns. Post your comments at this thread also so that more and more people come to know how to deal with the situation.
