Has anyone heard of an attorney group called Sheps & Associates, PLLC located in Nanuet, NY? are they legit or bottom feeders?


Omg these guys are not kidding, I thought they were just a collection agency so I ignored the first letter. I the got a phone call from someone at their office although he was not rude he was very abrupt! when I tried to negotiate or settle for less he told me the time to talk was over. Then in the mail came a Subpoena for asset information I ignored that as well . A month latter I was stopped by a traffice cop for talking on a cell phone the officer informed that there's a warrant out for my arrest. I was shocked since I have never been in trouble with the law, I protested but the officer explained it was for contempt of court? Apparently the subpoena was not a joke! The bail was set for the exact amount of funds Sheps & Associates, PLLC was requesting in their initial letter. I had no choice but to pay it,the court clerk explained to my husband that the bail amount $360.00 went directly to Sheps & Associates, PLLC. I still don't understand how they can do this.

Who was the original debt to, and what state do you live in? Is it possible they had sued you and you ignored the papers so didn't show up for court? That's the only way I know of that they can hold you for contempt.

complete garbage,this rent-a-lawyer is just that.this scenario never happened as this pile of dung in NY can't and won't sue period.nice try,but it won't get by me.btw i remember an unregistered lisa m on a thread about the BAM group.again bringing up scenarios that didn't happen.

I had my BOA account closed due to Fraud activity. An 8.OO check was returned to check system. I received a letter in the mail stating I owe SHEPS & ASSOCIATES $158.00 for an 8.00 return check which the bank had agreed to pay. They are so rude they mail the 8.00 check back and say they want the 158.00 or nothing at all. I think this is crazy. Each time I call to rectify the situations they are always nasty and love to yell in the phone.

I received a letter today from these people saying that I owed $ 361.00 for a bad check, and they had a local auto repair shop listed as the business where I supposedly wrote the check. Well I didn't write a bad check, so I called the repair shop and they said they didn't have a bad check from me and didn't know what I was talking about.... I've tried to call sheps and all I get is the answering service and they won't return my call. I'm not sure what to do from here...

Come on....you said you just got the letter today. Today is saturday and they are more than likely closed.

What I would do is go the repair place and talk to their bookkeeper. Get a letter on their letter head stating you have not bounced a check. Sent that and a cease and desist letter to the CA telling them to bug off.
