This law firm called Pressler & Pressler break the law repeatedly to collect money from you and no one does anything about it. From day one they break the law by telling you that you can be arrested for not paying a debt. When I got the letter stating this I ignored it because even when I didn't understand my rights I knew I could not be arrested for it. For a debt I never had? Who ever heard of such a thing. I thought they were complete frauds. Come to find out they are frauds but they operate in the open. It's a legal scam and they prey on people hoping that you DO NOT KNOWING YOUR RIGHTS. They take you to court saying that you owe them money and you HAVE TO GO and ask for them to validate the debt. 9 out ten times they can't. But you have to waste your time proving this. THIS IS SO OBSCENE on every level. They don't even care if they got the right person, they just want the money. But I've learned how to stop Pressler and Pressler scam.

Google: Rippoff.com
(Put their name in and read the obvious lack of regard for the law)

When you get that letter immediately send a debt validation letter to them. Keep the letter as evidence and contact the FTC, BBB, NJ AG and the NJ Bar. Report them to every place you can like here and Rippoff.com. If you are hauled into court GO and bring your letter they sent to you breaking the law. Enough people complain something will be done. THESE PEOPLE MUST BE STOPPED. You thought Hess Kennedy was bad, this one just boggles my mind. This is clearly ABUSE OF POWER AND SCAMMING THE CONSUMER It's too late for me but I hope this helps others.

I am going to make it my mission to exposed these people at every turn possible.


...had a Sheriff's Officer at my door in the early morning hours......with a Notice to place a LIEN on my property...
"Panicked" ...I contacted them (P&P) immedietly and made payment arrangements...
Now I'm questioning the balances (on legitimate debts)...do I have a case???

Hello everyone,

Pressler & Pressler had the audacity to file a lawsuit for a debt that was discharged in Chapter seven bankruptcy four years earlier. To make katters worse, I had moved from NJ to the midwest and knew nothing about the lawsuit. Of course P&P won the case and obtained a judgement against me. The judgement is on my credit report.

I've contacted my former bankruptcy attorney in NJ to intervene. In addition, I'm filing a dispute with all three credit bureaus, filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, filing a complaint with the NJ Attorney Generals office and a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

From what I see, P&P knowingly purchased an uncollectable debt and were hoping to collect. They have also violated the bankruptcy code and they should be penalized for doing so. P&P also attempted to garnish my wages from my NJ employer, but I had already left the company! They also (unsucessfully) tried to levy my bank account.

What do i want? The judgemnt removed from my credit reports and monetary damages from P&P. What did they think they were doing by filing a lawsuit four years after my bankruptcy?

Pressler & Pressler needs to be stopped.

Hi Tip,

The actions you outlined in your post are good.

You may also want to consider consulting with a consumer advocate attorney experienced with collection violations.
What you posted are good issues to take them to task.

Mileage may vary

You panicked and did exactly what they wanted you to do. You should never decide something so important in panic mode. You haven't said what the outcome was or really enough details to know what's up but I hope you didn't do something foolish like agree to pay something not even checking out the validity of the claim.

I'm confused. You want to know how to find out if the account was paid off. Is it your account? If so, you should know if you paid it off. If you don't remember, call and inquire or look it up online if you have an online account.

I'm just confused why someone would not know if one of their accounts was paid off.

Unless you have a good fairy who pays off your accounts when you aren't looking, it would seem strange to me to be unaware the status. But maybe there is something I'm not getting. anyway, since you don't have a name on your account I really can't look and see if there is something more to this that you posted somewhere else.

Please clarify.:confused:

I understand they are a party to fraud.
We are advocates for the elderly and disabled.
I'm an inactive member of numerous social clubs.
We are a group of lawyers and PHD'S who
understand that serious violations of federal law have
been committed. We are interested in punative damages in order to continue our cause.
If you are a leader in government you need to contact the
mayor of their municipality, The mayor of the municipality where you believe the fraud occurred.
We want all names of real individuals in order to serve subpoena. I believe pressler is not actually licenced or insured. They are simply a ruthless debt consolidator.
I have seen real bills of persons who had insurance coverage. They are only entitled to accept insurance payment according to customary and not inflated rates.
Their clients bill, for instance, $2000 for a band aid that Aetna paid them $91. Being that they were paid the
customary contractual obligation, they are entitled to no more. They are liable for
Intimidation, Discrimination and violation of the Fair Credit Reporting act.

If you have any serious information contact [email]proxy2hotmail@gmail.com[/email]

I, too, need help dealing with this situation. I wasn't even aware I was getting sued, since I had been out of town for a few months dealing with different deaths in my family. I returned a few days ago and saw that one of my accounts had been garnished. Since I had no knowledge I was being sued, a judgment was entered against me in default. I need some type of guidance on what to do. Can I get the money back? What steps do I need to take in this instance? Will anyone take on the case so I can fight back?

There's are reasons that Pressler & Pressler can't be stopped and are allowed to spin out of control the way they do. Here they are:

Sheldon H. Pressler, owner of Pressler & Pressler has been an appointee to the Committee of the Special Civil Part (which handles the rules governing the courts) for over 20 years. He's the president of the Bar of the Special Civil Part (a group of attorneys who sue people, and which oversees the judges), he's the attorney for the New Jersey Association of Collection Agencies, he's member of the New Jersey State Bar Association Special Civil Part Committee, and he's a member of the Consumer Credit Association of New York and the Commercial Law League of America.

As such, he and his company run rughshod with carte blanche over the average person. Standing up to someone who oversees the judges is a daunting task. How can you possibly win against someone who is on the committee that can make a decision on whether or not a judge keeps the job he or she has got?

The fox is guarding the hen house, here, and it seems that Pressler and his firm are untouchable.

That's why it's time to write your Senators and Congressmen and have him removed from any position of authority over the courts and/or laws of the State of New Jersey so long as his firm continues to practice in those same fields - it's a blatant conflict of interest.

PLEASE read this: https://plus.google.com/u/0/113309727615742899302/posts
AND please file a complaint at http://www.ic3.gov, as suggested directly by FBI AND NY State Attorney General! the more complaints received, the more this is bumped up to priority by federal prosecutors. there is already NY State Atty General action against Pressler & Pressler!

this company is a fraud, committing fraud & Sheldon & Lee Pressler run the town they're in PLUS Sheldon's on Special Civil Judicial committtee in NJ where he primarily files law suits, so it's a conflict of interest!! they're also in violation of RICO act as they're opening offices to further their "legal" blackmail and extortion.

and because Pressler's judgements are on credit reports, finding more of their victims of their scam won't be hard, they can simply be pulled from all three credit reporting agencies

P & P sent me a letter stating I need owe over 3K and I requested a validation letter back in July 2012. On Saturday, December 8, 2012 I received a certified letter informing me that I am being sued by P& P. In this package had a signed letter stating the amount I owed the credit card company, but nothing in regards to my validation request. Basically, questions for me to answer for what will prevent me from repaying the loan. Ex. auto accident etc.
