anyone dealt with Trauner Cohen & Thomas?

Answered in previous post. KYSIDE38

where's the previous post you refer to?

I answered you sorry. In told you to go to Budd Hibbs website. They are listed on his website as one of the worst collection companies. Take a look. KYSIDE38

any idea how to answer this?

Im sorry I am not ignoring you. This just puzzles me . I would contact the court and ask what to do. Did you look at Budd Hibbs site? KYSIDE38

I have looked at the Bud Hibbs website and others. When we answered the initial suit, we denied their claim. I thought we would get a court date, but never did. That was 6 months ago. Then this letter shows up saying that the are seeking a summary judgment. I need to know what to do next. Do I mail them a letter asking for validation and send a copy to the court?
Does anyone have any recommendations?

:twisted:

Yes, I have. They are crooked and should be disbarred. In order for you to prove that you answered them, you need to send a certified letter with a required signature to show proof they received it. Plus, keep a copy of the letter for proof. Then visit Bud Hibbs website, he has a letter that you need to type up and send to them to cease all contact with you and also keep copies and mail it certified with a required signature. Then I'm sorry to get a good lawyer!

I love lawyers, to hang out with, have a few drinks with... But to the question at hand. As I've stated here before, in any answer to a summons, be sure to have it notorized! Otherwise, the plantiff might claim your answer is a general denial and move for a summary judgment.

This same law, trauner cohen and thomas LLP firm did exactly the same thing to me. They claimed that I owe them $4,000.00 from no where. Now they are garnishing my wage at work without proper court order documentation. I advice you that you get a good lawyer and go after them. i WILL FIGHT THEM WITH MY LAST BREATH.

Write a letter to the courthouse and FAST!!! Whether your disputing the claim, amount, or account send a certified letter to the court and to Trauner Cohen and Thomas. They did the same things to me and I just called them not knowing a phone call wasn't going to help. Long story short: That summons of judgement served to me by a Sheriff turned into them garnishing my bank account. I agreed to payment arrangements that I could afford not knowing they were going to take my bank information to give the summons of garnishment. It's going on two weeks and my bank account hasn't been released yet.

If I were you I wouldn't sit on it, you may even need to hire an attorney if they get out of line becuase they are the rudest people I have ever spoken with. Good Luck

Motions are legal REQUESTS for a judge to take some action. In this case a motion for summary judgment is REQUEST that the judge find you guilty of owing the money. You must respond to the motion with your own REQUEST. Your motion might say: DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DENY PLAINTIFF'S REQUEST FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT or you could enter a motion for summary judgment as well. This motion might say DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT.
Either of your motions will tell why your request should be granted and not Trauner's. For instance, you might say that you don't owe the debt, that you have previously filed and answer, that Trauner has provided no proof of debt, etc. You would put all the reasons why your motion should be granted and not theirs.
