law office of william g sokol

Yes - I received the same call today, from the same office. I am dealing with Langhorne who told me that "attorney" Sokol was going to move forward with my case. He is no longer an attorney and was disbarred.

I just received a call from this man threatening a judgment against me and refusing to give me a fax number so that my payday loan consolidation company can fax documents over and take care of my debt. Any feedback??

William Sokol was not disbared, he is an active reputable attorney in Hammonton NJ who also owns a collection agency. I suggest that you take his advice and try and pay what you owe. They will start garnishing wages!

I have a letter from himdated 5-19th 2010. he called me last week and told me that if i didn't pay my loan that they were goign to process the lawsuit and that i was goijg to ahve appear in court. so i said ok tomorrow i get paid take half. ewll ok that was fine. i called him yesterday to tell him that i couldn't pay it and to stop the rtransaction. that i'd pay it all off next week. then he said that's not god enough and that he's have to go thru witht he law suit. then he told methat he can be bending for like everyone else does. and i told i was have troubbles and he said taht's not my problem and that i told him there is on;t one income in thsi house and my fiance is in school and she said that's not my probem and why did you get in engaged to a man like that? and i told him that i ahve to feed my kids an then he said that i souldn't bring my kids into this and it's not thier fault that i took out a loan.

i got pissed cause he was putting me down. first if he was areal lawyer he wouldn't be talking to me that way. and when he said that about my fiance that pissed me off... like he has no clue what it;s been like. my fiance lost his job last winter and he decide to go back to school well it was rough. but we're alomost doen wiht it and he'll ahve real job. but that lawyer had no right saying that to me at all. then i got smart wirh him and started cussin and he told me that i shouldn't take that tone with him and that he's recording you coversation. first of all he shoulsn't be recording nothing cause it's illeagle to do that. and he didn't ahve my permission to record me..

hi there..do not pay this fool a dime..he is a phony, he is not an attorney, and he is running his business illegally..do not..i repeat do not give him your banking info..if you already did..contact your bank immediately and change your aount...if you google this you will find tons of info on this low life theif..good luck!

I had a stupid payday loan that i took out about 4 months ago. the real crooks are the PDL companies. I spoke with this lady and she helped me out at William Sokols office. She allowed me to pay what i borrowed. she also told me that if i call all the other PDL loans I have and tell them I must pay the loan amount because of the intrest being regulated they will usualy allow you to pay that amount. Dont believe everything you read because if you know you took out the loan someone has to collect it. just make sure you get it in writting.

Dottyandjim-you must work for the lowlife. You dont pay ANYONE who call or sends a letter saying you owe them cause of some old debt. ANYONE can do that. First you have to make sure they LEGALLY own and can collect that debt and this moron Sokol is NOT an attorney-he is a bottom feeding lying scum out to fleece decent folks out of their money. If you fell for his line-then I pity you and if you work for him which I suspect-your scum also.

Sokol's office calls me constantly. Each time, I tell them they need to send me written documentation of the debt that I owe, including the date, amount, and name of the original lender. I tell them that after I receive their correspondence, I would check with the original lender to be sure Sokol's office is the debt collector of record. And I tell them if I find out they're legitimate, I will happily pay any debt that I owe. The call always ends with them hanging up on me. Yeah, total bottom-feeding scumbags.

william sokoll is a low life he is a fake and liar he receives your information which he stole from the internet do not talk to this man or his assiociates and go to your attorney for help. call your local bbb off or atorney general and force him of your back

can u go to jail 4a 100 dollar payday loan that was never paid off?

No. Debts are civil matters not criminal. Are you sure it wasn't paid off? Was any money taken from your account toward the loan?

After reading all of these messages, I decided to look up information on William Sokol. According to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania he is currently under administrative suspension. Which means that he cannot practice law in Pennsylvania, however if he has an attorney working for him who is still active in PA he can use that person to handle his business here.

In my research I also found out that payday loans are supposed to be prohibited in PA. Lenders (including online lenders) must be licensed to make offers to PA residents. Then they must follow the interest and fee caps set forward in the Consumer Discount Company Act. Look under Section 13, E . There was already a huge class action lawsuti against one lender. From what I understand there are more lawsuits in the works against several payday lenders all across the country. Many other states will be enacting similar laws if they have not already.

I too have received phone calls from this so called Attorney, but when I had asked them to send me by mail verification of the debt and other information concerning, he was trying to tell me that I was just bying time and that they had already sent me information by mail. I told him that I never received it and would like it resent. Then he started getting upset and telling me I just didn't want to pay, I told him that was not the issue, it was that I wanted verification of who they were. SO after minutes of dispute, he stated that they would. I will see! But then I get a call yesterday about the same loan from a US Federal Claims and that they were going to make me lose my job, my license excetra! I looked up the number and could not find it anywhere and also the name of the SO CALLED CO. I spoke to a foreign gentlemen who got mad at me because I asked him several times to send me something in writing, he stated that he could after I made a payment (HELLO), I don't think so. SO he threatened me and as I was telling him what he could and could not do, he hung up on me, I laughed even harder because he got so mad when I was very calm! So my next question is, if they sell your loan off to someone else, how are you really suppose to pay it back?

What should I do if I did pay them? I didnt really think about checking it cause I knew that I did have an unpaid loan... Now I have received several calls from different "law offices" taking about garnishing my wages and everything.. I looked into this guy and DNI recovery and I am finding that they are all fake or bad people...
So is there something I can do about the fact that I already paid them??

It will be difficult for you to get back the money that you've already paid them. However, as they are fake, you should contact an attorney and take some legal advise in this regard. He may guide you in order to deal with this fake company.

I am a debt collector and because you paid them in 30 days from the time you paid call them and ask for a release of debt letter and can be mailed faxed or emailed that letter shows proof that you paid the debt in full

Another little tidbit on this Sokol guy - hebuys loans that are too old for a company to collect on. I had a loan with a real bank and after 3 years of no collection attempts I get a letter from this law office. They were very persistent so I talked to my boss who is an attorney. He said that the statute of limitations runs out if the original company does not talk to you within 2 years of the debt going to collections. I emailed this law office and told them that I willnotpay on a debt that is no longer collectable and the harrassment stopped for about a year. I now get phone calls daily and refuse to answer.Do notpay on the loan if it is old - they have no right to that money and it has already been written off the books as a loss for the company that originally gave you the loan.

God Bless you all!!! Please go to the FairDebtCollectionAct.Com. They do have FREE lawyers who will take your case, if they feel you have one. PLEASE get a tape recorder, I got one @ Best Buy; due to Powell Law Offices making threats and calling my job after I told them I could not receive phone calls!!! Get A SONY tape recorded and record your conversations, so if your Consumer Lawyer decides to take these 'fake'scam artists to court; YOU will be able to sue for illegal harrasment.

Hope this helps!!! :)


Blessings!!

Sorry, for the double post. There is an toll free number you can call as well! 1-888-332-7252 okay? Again, get that tape recorder!! :)

they are a payday loan debt collection agency. very unporfessional especially mr anderson aka kyan julius. they threaten to sue and will never sue. all they want is ur money. which u do owe, but they get it in a way that breaks the law. scumbags. there are a few employees that are great people and only do what they are told to do. the owners are scumbag back stabbers.

Thank you for confirming what we already knew. I had dealings with his "company" over my payday loan. Very nasty phone calls, but I finally prevailed.:D

Check out this link. Apparently Mr. Sokol is on Administrative Suspension in Penn. And doesnt appear to be admitted to the NJ bar as he claims, still waiting for a call back fom the NJ Bar Association.

If they are just a collection agency, they need to be licensed in your State to do so. In Illinois, he is not licensed. Google your " your state" " professional license look up" then find the state agency that handles licenses and look for him. If they are not licensed in your state they can be fined big bucks. Simply go to your State - States Attorney website and take 5 minutes and fill out a complain form and they will take it from there.

I just received a call from them regarding some payday loan. At one time, I had 3 internet loans (illegal in Illinois-limit is 2), these are paid. All 3 of the lenders were not licensed to do business here in Illinois, at least not that I can find. Sokol is not licensed here as an attorney or collection agency..I paid all 3 of these loans, the original loan amount, plus the interest (one of these was renewed by lender-also illegal here)...Anyway, I am not threatened by his scare tactics, I have asked for validation of debt, which his staff refuses to send. I would like to know which one of these payday lenders he is supposedly collecting for so that I can send proof of payment and stop these ridiculous calls. If they continue to call and not pony up validation, a complaint form will be filled out with AG's office.
