greenberg, weiss & aasoc

I coudn't find much about Greenberg, Weiss & Associates. They're not listed with BBB. Let's wait for some other poster to add something to this thread.

They are an investigative firm. They are hired to locate all info for civil complaints for Attorneys. www.greenbergweis.com

They are not an investgative firm. They are a collection agency, exactly as is says on their website. They try to pass themselves off as attorneys though...leaving messages with a "legal file" number. I have no idea who they are collecting for but I received a ton of calls from them.

If anyone can find a physical address or a PO Box for them, I know a few parties that are looking for them, me and the Dept of Commerce included.

I've recently been receiving calls from greenberg, weis and associates in attempts to collect a past due payday loan and the individuals calling are ridiculous. They are calling and identifying themselves as attorneys and they are not. After an extensive search i found their website and it states in black and white that they're a collections agency. The staff is very rude, the representative never gave me a chance to even try to work it out. They apparently called and had left a message one day which i didn't retrieve until a day or two later and when i called back they stated that i'd obviously was sending their calls to my voicemail and that they were going to let my account go to some verifications department. The lady was not trying to understand that sometimes you just can't pick up your phone and chat while you're on your job.... And then when i expressed to her that her representatives were rude and that she was becoming rude she told me i was not going to dictate to her and she hung up the lines without letting me work something out. Never gave me a chance to say whether i could or would be able to pay. I think they don't want you to settle/pay they get paid if your case goes thru further processing. I am following the previous post and filing with the office of attorney in new york and looking into any other options regarding harassment and their business practices.

My sister texted me today, said she had received a message frrom Tom George. He apparenty told her that he had to deliver some papers to me for a legal matter and he wanted to get a hold of me so he didn't embarrass me at work. He also left me a message saying about the same thing. So I called him. He claims to be a process server for Greenberg Weiss. He told me to call them to figure this whole thing out. So, I call. Some guy tells me that I originally owed $286 to CashNet USA but now with the attorney's retainer fees the bill is just over $1100 and that is due today. I told him that I had already paid this whole thing off, but he said I had to show him the "paid in full letter" pertaining to this account. He went on to say that the papers that Tom George was going to serve me with was a Summons for criminal bad check charges. I asked him if he was an attorney, he said no. I asked him if the attorney firm that he works for is in the business of collecting debts, he said that all attorneys are in the business of collecting debts (?????). So, then he tells me that I can vountarily make restitution payments towars this debt which is now $550 dollars. He said the restitution would be like making payments to the county. I asked how I would really owe restitution if I hadn't even been served the papers yet? So he finally said that I wanted to take care of this he try to figure out how they could accept my payment and to call back and speak to Samantha at ext. 505. I also told him that from what I read it is impossible for them to be recommending criminal bad check charges against me for a payday loan transaction. (Not to mention that I really did already pay this off.) He said that no, I had written a bad check and that all states are pursuing criminal charges against people who write bad checks.

I recieved a call from Claudia Smith of Greenberg, Weis & Assoc today. Only she claims to be from the Internet Fraud Division and she is investigating me for Internet fraud. She too wanted my Social Security number and other personal info which I refused to give. Because they have called me before using this I.D., this time I asked her for her name, address & phone number. I told her as soon as I look them up online and verified that they were a real attorney's office charging me with fraud, I would call her back and now all I find is that they are liars. They are calling for a bogus payday loan. They call my home everyday and I don't know how to stop them outside of changing my phone number. If reporting them to the Dept of Commerce will get me relief than I would be more that happy to go that route.

Greenburg Weiss and associates

This company called me today from 877-733-0455 and a lady who calls herself ms. Ree left a very threatening message saying that they had a case against me for "alleged check fraud and theft by deception". Check fraud?? I have not even had checks since 3 years ago !? WTH are they talking about, and "theft by deception"? I work hard and earn an honest living and don't need to steal anything from anybody!!
The only thing I can think of was an unpaid pay day loan that I have from 2009, on which Cashnet USA tried to defraud me by trying to empty my account several times for 3 times what I had originally borrowed.
Anyway, they said on the voicemail that I had until 4 pm today to call them at 716-568-7589 and "good luck", lol
They must think people are stupid to fall for such threats.
So I waitied until 9 pm too call the number because I was curious who the heck they were, and their voicemail came up saying "you've reached Greenburg Weiss and associates, please leave a message with your case number, bla bla bla".
I saved the voicemail they left on my phone and will call the attorney General's office first thing Monday morning, and I will report them to the FTC and will file a formal complaint with my local police.

these crokes call me and said they had a case pending againist me. what a fraud. i don't believe these people.they are not a law firm. they are a collection agency. the way of doing things is iilegel. i wiil file a compliant with the ftc. this firm is a fraud.

I agree with you all and M2001 was right on the money. I also have received several calls from this “firm” and from Ms. Ree with the same content and flow as all the other postings. Another number they now use is 716-568-7607. Calling from (not behalf of) which instigates they are the legal firm, that “someone” has submitted an avadavat against me and to call back with this case number ##-######. If not I will be severed at my work. As you all have found out they are a 3rd party collection agency using tactics to scare callers to callback. Do so and you will find out how ruthless and unprofessional they are. They will upset you and treat you in a condescending manner. Deal with debt collectors by mail, talking over the phone will get your blood pressure up and make for a bad day. It’s your legal right to request correspondence and documentation by mail.

This is the 2nd time I received a call from these idiots! The first time I called them back I was "nice" and told them my son was deceased. (They should have known this because I notified every creditor/bank/credit reporting agency) The lady marked the account and said I would not hear from them again. Well, I did and this time I was not nice! I told her they were stupid and they need to look at the credit reports they most likely run (she claims they didn't) All she wanted to know was if I knew him and how to get a hold of him...I strung her along for a while telling her yeah, I knew him, I knew where he was, and that he was my son, etc. I then told her he was dead...she asked when and I told her that she should already know that...then out of the clear blue sky she tells me the exact date he died!!! I told her she was stupid (she said "we're not stupid) and don't ever call me again! The idiot asks me, what is my phone number!!! duhh...I told her, see, you are stupid, you already called and left a message on my phone...I think you have that information...she got mad...hung up. Don't even bother to call these idiots!! Most likely whatever they are calling about has been dismissed, written off or canceled.....Don't even waste your time with them...

Phone calls started a few days ago. They called my friends number and told him they were with an attorneys office, he gave me the number and I called. Spoke to Samantha (probobly not her real name) she was rude told me I had a pay day loan of $710 and it had to be pd today-then she dropped it to $510. she threatened me saying I was going to be taken to court, gave me an affidavit # and everything. I got so upset I set up a pymt arrangement with her for $130 to be taken from my debit card. THEN, I find out they have been sending mail to an address I had in 2008 which is when they say I was suppose to have taken out a pay day loan...I went and took all of the money off of my card. They need to notify me via mail and then I will talk to an attorney.

I received a recorded phone call from them today. I do not intend to return the call but sending a letter to the address above requesting verification of the debt. I know that when you've been contacted by a creditor, you must dispute the debt within thirty days. But when you send a dispute letter to the creditor, is there a time period that they must respond by? The last time I disputed a debt, I sent a letter to a collector last May, certified mail, and did receive verification of the debt from them until October. Why do I only have 30 days, but they can take their time?

i recieved a call from716-568-7615 said that i owed 800.00 for a payday loan .. from 2009 .. that i have not paid back .. that they are getting for fraud bad checking writting that i was going to jail last week they were picking me up .. they can again and said that i need 2 call them today back it is green weis and white assoicate the number s is 877-733-0455 .2 call george 2 fix this matter .. i still have not called them back ..

I got a phone call from a 877-733-0455 phone number telling me that i owe my bank for a returned item. I called my bank and so such thing as happened. I have let my state AG office know and the FTC. I never deal with collection agencies because they pay your debt for pennies on the dollar and then they come after you to collect on your debt that they already paid off for cheap. Your money you pay them does not go to the company you owed in the first place it goes to the collection agency pockets. That is why when you call the original company that you owed and they tell you to call some collection agency that bought your debt its because the original company as already been payed for your debt.

I sent a certified letter to them at this address, but it was returned, marked "moved left no address". I see now though that someone else posted an address, same address but different suite number.

They are scam artists, in league with the Mid East Indians who were also running payday advance telephone scams. The person I had the pleasure(I use that quite loosely)to speak to was Ms. Rodriguez. She was a beligerent heiffer. I Was given their fax number to fax off a letter of cease and desist of calling me, the fax # didnt go through. I've been contacted by Check Investigation Services, they are looking into these people along with the FBI. There are others out there besides BErg BERg berg berg and Berg. THere is also Interchex Systems, Rositti and Associates to name two others off the top of my head. IF anyone reads please contact CHeck INvestigative Services and report them, so far there are 3000 people that have been targeted.
