There is a court hearing scheduled for mann bracken in the state of Georgia this month. The state of Georgia is taking them to court. The hearing is June 23rd later this month. Got this info from, fivemilliondots.com. Let's keep our fingers crossed.


Excellent. This is why it is good to file complaints with the state Attorney General.

Apparently they have been bought out by Axiant.

Yep. And the Georgia Supreme Court recently ruled in their favor when the Georgia Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs tried to get them to turn over documents revealing their shady debt collection practices:

A recent State of Georgia Appeals Court ruling (STATE v. FREDERICK J. HANNA & ASSOCIATES, P.C.) handed Frederick J. Hanna an (albeit) small victory that prevents the Georgia Office of Consumer Affairs (GA OCA) from obtaining records that may have shown that the debt collection law firm may have abused consumers, violated the Georgia Business Practices Act and the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act".

'The trial court defeated the OCA's attempt to compel the law firm's compliance with its investigative demand by dismissing the lawsuit OCA filed. The Georgia Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's decision, finding in part that it was an attempt to regulate the practice of law --- something that is entirely within the jurisdiction of the Georgia Supreme Court to do. This is a technical way to defeat consumer protection. I agree with Justice Melton's dissent, but we are in the minority. I note that this was a 4:3 decision. Not a landslide but, for now at least, the law in this state.' ~ Georgia Consumer Protection Attorney Joseph Segui"
