Ssued by Wolpoff & Abramson in Texas

Were you served with arbitration?

The following information was borrowed from Bud Hibbs website on Wolpoff & Abramson, LLP.

When they merged they broke the dialer database. At least 80% of the calls they make are to old numbers.

They also scrambled the third party dialer. You will get a call looking for your neighbor but you do not have any such neighbor.

If you call Axiant and they can't find your number they will tell you to change your number or ignore the calls.

I talked to one of the 'lawyers' and she said go ahead and sue, we can't stop the calls.

So I have complained to the FTC and to the MD, GA and CA bars about all lawyers on the Mann Bracken Wolpoff Abramson Eskanos Adler listings in Martindale.

And not one person knew or would tell the name of Axiant's CEO. Probably Dick Cheney!

I used to work for this company and would try to work them over from the inside. Throwing away papers and not entering information into the system. I hope this company gets whats coming to them.

Axiant does not carry the required bond to collect in Texas. I am not sure about a law firm needing the bond.

A DV at this point is too late since the suit has already been filed. They won't answer it. What you need to do is force them to prove you owe them in court. In Texas court is small claims with justice of the peace and I am not certain what/if discovery is allowed.

Tell the judge that you have never heard of this before now. You want to see a signed contract/agreement and a last statement that shows a final balance. You also what to see proof they are the ones legally able to collect upon that debt...an assignment if they are acting as a collection agent or a bill of sale to show they own the debt. (Watch out for them trying to pass off a portfolio purchase slip...all it shows is who they bought a bunch of debts from without ant information on WHAT debts were bought. Also beware of any affidavits they submit. Object to them all stating that you have the right to question these people that signed the affidavits.

If they do manage to provide this proof, it should also have when the account defaulted...if it is longer then four years ago then the debt is out of the statute of limitations and you can get the case dismissed (this should done as a last resort because a debt dismissed for sol can get a 1099 issued on it and you would end up paying taxes on it.

Even if they do win, you can't be garnished, but if you have a bank account that can be frozen.
