iam in the process of tring to open a bank account, but due to some outstanding debt that use to be with another bank. but first i have to take care of the debt that has been turned over to Mitchell N Kay law offices. an form what I have read MNK is as crooked as a pretzel, the question i have for some one is. How can I get this payment taken care of safely for me and not get riped off? Because now I dont feel safe paying anything over the phone without anything saying that it was payed if any one could help it would be greatly appercated.

The main problem here is this. Too many people respond to 800 series numbers when they don't have to My answering machine wlcome message is as follows,"If you are calling from an 800 series number you will be ignored, otherwise leave your name, main phone number and a message stating your business, thanks". Screen your calls and do not take calls from people you don't know. As for Mitchell N. Kay ( 888-587-0752) DO NOT SPEAK TO THESE CROOKS. Instead Write a letter to your Atty. General, the NY State AG attn Andrew Cuomo and the Federal Trade Commision, attn: William Blumenthal, General Counsel. Do not send any money to these people or have any conversations with them. If they write to you, shred their mail w/o opening it. They are nothing but a bunch of crooks trying to collect from debts already written off or paid. Check out this information:

I received a letter in the mail a couple of months ago from Plaza associates addressed to a last name I do not have anymore and have never had at this address. The letter stated I woed 1187.71 and they were collecting on behalf of EMCC, INC. SSSIGNEE OF M & L ACCEPTANCE CORP. They offered a settlement amount of 1009.55.

I have been on someone's scam list for the past year and have received several similar calls as well as letter stating I owe various amounts to various companies.

I checked all three credit reports from the different reporting agencies, and have nothing that either matches the company or dollar amount they say I owe.

Today I recieved another letter from Mitchell N. Kay, stating I owe the exact same dollar amount and are willing to settle for the exact same settlement amount. Both companies are based out fo NY as, or at least that is where they request payment sent to.

I will not pay on a debt I am told I have from a company that I can find no info on ( M & L Acceptance Corp.).

ITS RITE THESE GUYS ARE NOT ATTNEY'S. IF YOU ASK THE SAME ON CALLS, THERE'SNT A WAY ANY REP'S GONNA TELL YOU THAT HE IS , NOT UNLESS HE WANTS TO BE FIRED,....2.THE REASON WHY WE ASK FR POST DATED CHKS IS, THAT WHEN PEOPLE GET A LETTER, THEY GET SCARED REMEMBERING THE DEBT , OR IT PRICKS THEIR CONSCIOUS OR WATEVER , THEY CALL IN AND SAY, WE'LL MAIL A CHK OR MNY ORDER...WHICH NEVER HAPPENS ...ITS AS IF TIME HEALS THEIR WOUNDS OR SMTHN LIKE THAT...THATS WHY WE ASK FR A PYMNT THEN AND THERE OR A DOCUMENTATION OF A POST DATED CHECK, COZ THEY HAVNT BIENG PAYIN FR SUCH LONG TIMES, WHY SHOULD WE BELIEVE THEM THAT THEY'LL MAIL OUT A CHECK 2 WEEKS LATER OR WATEVER, INSTEAD THEY ARE SUGGESTED TO DO A POST DATED CHECK RIGHT THEN FOR 3 WEEKS LATER 3.WE HANG UP ON PEOPLE BECOZ HALF THE TIMES THEY'RE TAKIN US FR GRANTED AS IF WE HAVE THE BILLS TO PAY N THEY'RE DOIN US A FAVOR BY PAYIN'EM OFF FOR US...4.AS FAR AS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS-- WE DONT KNOW HALF THE TIMES WHO'SE LYING N WHOSE NOT , THEY'LL JUST SAY- I NEVER USED IT, I DONT EVEN KNOW WAT IT IS, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SAY--"ACC. TO STATUE OF LIMTATIONS, THIS ACCOUNT IS NO LONGER COLLECTABLE"(WAT THIS TELLS ME IS THAT THEY'RE JUST WAITIN FR THE MUCH AWAITED 7TH YEAR)THAT IS JUST A SMALL EXAMPLE TO PUT THAT I DONT KNOW WHOM TO TRUST.YES PEOPLE ARE THERE WHO REALLY DONT KNOW HOW IT GOT ON THERE,BUT WE CAN EITHER TRUST THEM AND BE FOOLED BY THE MISCREANTS AT THE SAME TIME (COZ THERE ISNT A WAY TO DIFFERENCIATE THE TWO) OR ASK FOR A COPY OF THE PROOF TO BE SENT OUT ALONG WITH THE LETTER OF DISPUTE... WHICH IS WAT WE DO(LATTER)4.WE DO SEND OUT A LETTER OF INTENT WHICH IS SENT OUT BEFORE THE DETOR SENDS OUT ANY MONEY , IF THE DETOR REQUESTS IT , BUT ONLY AFTER HE PROMISES THE ACCOUNT AND DISCUSSES ALL THE ARRANGEMENTS AS TO HOW HE'S GONNA DO IT ONCE HE RECIEVES THAT LETTER AND ALSO AND THE AMOUNT IS CLEARLY MENTIONED FR WHICH ITS GONNA BE SETTLED OR PAID OR WATEVER. IF HE SAYS SEND ME A LETTER FIRST THEN I'LL TALK TO YOU- THEY WONT AGREE.PROBABLY THE WAY THEY TAKE IT IS -- SHOW THE INTENTS AND WE'LL HELP YOU PAY OFF..5.NEVER WILL ANY REP TELL YOU THAT THIS BILL IS ON YOUR CREDIT.. THEY ALWAYS SAY IT MITE BE ON YOUR CREDIT . BECOZ THEY DONT KNOW IF ITS ON YOUR CREDIT AND ITS NOT THEIR JOB EITHER. GET UR CREDITS CHECKED AND BE UPDATED. DONT CALL THEM CROOKS IF IT TURNS OUT NOT TO BE ON YOUR CREDIT. ITS IN UR NAME AS AN UNPAID BILL SO THEY ALWAYS SAY "ITS ON UR SOCIAL"..BUT ALSO KEEP IN MIND THEY MITE SOMETIMES SAY IT IS ON UR CREDIT .... AND WHEN THEY DO... ITS GOTTA BE. OTHERWISE THEY WONT IF THEY DONT KNOW.6... AS FAR AS THE LETTER OF SATISFACTION IS CONCERNED WHICH IS THE DET RELEASIN LETTER --M NOT SURE AS TO WETHER IT IS SENT OUT OR NOT. AND I AM A LITTLE WORRIED ON THIS PART ... ITS BEEN 3 MONTHS NOW AND M DOIN RESEARCH ON THIS COZ YESTERDAY I TOOK A PAYMENT FROM A GUY FOR 700 ODD DOLLARS... AND HE WAS DISPUTING THE ACCOUNT, BUT WAS ALSO SAYIN AT THE SAME TIME HE USED IT FOR 4 MONTHS , CLEARLY HE DIDNT THINK IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 700 $ BUT I NEVER TOLD HIM THAT M NOT SURE IF ITS ON HIS CREDIT. SO I DIDNT VIOLATE ANY LAWS AS WELL AS IT GAVE HIM THE IMPRESSION THAT ITS ON HIS CREDIT SO HE PAID THE STLMENT AMNT. NOW I DONT KNOW WHY HE PAID .. TO GET IT OFF HIS CREDIT OR BECOZ IT WERE HIS VALUES THAT TOLD HIM TO. I'LL FOLLOW UP THIS ACCOUNT TO SEE IF A LETTER IS SENT TO HIM , I QUED A REQUEST RITE AWAY THEN. ANYWAYS... BUT THOSE ARE ALL THE THINGS I HAD TO SHARE WITH YOU . I'LL LET YA KNOW ABOUT THIS ... BUT ONE THING IS FOR SURE ASK FOR A LETTER OF INTENT FIRST AND DISCUSS THE ARRANGEMENTS AT THE SAME TIMETHE ARRANGEMENTS THAT U 'LL MAKE AFTER THE LETTER IS THERE.THIS LETTER OF SATISFACTION IS A REALLY DICEY THING ... I'LL BE SURE AND LET U KNOW ABOUT IT
KEEP TWO THINGS IN MIND :
1. GET A CREDIT CHECK DONE BEFORE PAYIN UP ON ANY OF UR BILLS... CALL THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR IF ITS NOT ON YOUR CREDIT ... EVEN IF IT IS U CAN TRY CALLING THE DEBT PURCHASING COMPANY(PALLISADES, M&L ACCEPTANCE ETC)T TO CONFIRM IF THE AGENCY U'RE PAYIN TO IS THE ONE THEY'VE HANDED IT TO. BASICALLY IF U OWE SOMTHIN, U KNOW IT... BUT BE SURE U PAY OFF TO THE RITE PEOPLE
2. ALWAAAAAYS ASK FOR THE LETTER OF INTENT FIRST
IN THE END I DONT WANNA MISGUIDE ANYONE SO LET ME INFORM U ALL THAT I'VE BEEN A REP SINCE 3 MONTHS, SO I DONT KNOW A LOT, BUT I GOT A LITTLE WORRIED .
AND YEAH...
MORE THAN HALF THE TIMES THE REPS ARE LOOKIN FOR ON THE SPOT PAMNT LIKE A CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD PAYMNT OR POST DATED CHKS(U ALREADY KNOW THE REASON WHY)... SO IF THEY TRY TO SPIN U AROUN OR PUSH U BY TELLIN THAT THEY'LL SEND A LETTER RITE AWAY AFTER U MAKE THE PAYMNT ... DONT LET THEM... WORST .. U'LL GET A HANG UP, AND THAT IS THE W.O.R.S.T...WAT U CAN DO IN THAT CASE IS TRY CALLING THE DEBT PURCHASING COMPANY OR THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR TO SEE IF U CAN PAY THEM....
AND ALSO
I DONT THINK IF U PAY ONCE THEY'LL ASK FOR THE SAME DEBT AGAIN...BUT WAT IF SOME OTHER AGENCY DOES THE SAME, U M.U.S.T. AT ALL TIMES HAVE WRITTEN MATERIAL

that attitude pug is neither condoned or accepted here.we have a stance of if you owe it pay it.i paid 3 cc's that were charged off last year and they will be off my CR early autumn.
it is people like you that make the trolls come out.just because a cc company charges off doesn't mean you don't owe it.

Pug...do you think that a debt written off is no longer collectible? Was that your intention all along? Did you know that IS fraud? I understand that people go thru hard financial times and sometimes we take the ostrich approach and bury our head in the sand, but do you really think that's the answer? I speak from experience that that approach is like an alcoholic climbing into the bottle to escape the reality of life. It's still there when you climb back out. Been there done that and it takes swallowing your pride to face up to reality and do the right thing. Unfortunately since you are not registered we can't really keep you from posting that rot but for any one reading this post: Bad Advice. I suggest you Google Karma Mr Pug.

I revceived a letter for a debt settlement for a cell phone bill. I went on their website and left a message to call me. No one ever called. I called them by phone again and it was so loud in their office; it was impossible to talk to anyone. I was beginning to think if it was really a law office or just a collection agency. I offered to send them a check by mail and they absolutely refused. They insisted a check by phone. What kind of Law office is that!!! I spoke with three people there and they were so extremely rude and impossible to speak with. I refuse to give them any money.... dont trust them. Call your direct company that you money and settle with them directly.

Interesting. I've never been a customer of Direct TV. And now I know I never will be. They wanted me to give them my social security number to verify I wasn't who they were looking for. Are they out of their minds or what!!! Surely this "Mitchell N. Kay" firm is not on the up and up.

Im currently deployed to Iraq right now and my wife is stating that Ive got two letters from this law office. They are dealing with a bank account that I had almost 4 years ago and closed prior to joining. I even got a check from the bank because I had money in the accounts. The bank isnt on my credit report and they have nothing about me oweing them money. I should just send the debt validation letter and I should expect my file to be closed correct? My wife is kind of freaking out about this.

Let me tell everyone a horror story about Mitchell offices. They have been sending letters and calling me about an outstanding bill..............for furniture that was NOT paid for. The 'funny' thing is the letter was in my son's name. I called the office and explained they are sending the letter to a minor. They basically said I was lying and they said tey "would sue my son for an unpaid bill." My son is only 15. I don't think he went out and financied furniture!! This debt was under my ex's name ( ex and son ave same ame) and this debt is OVER 15 years old. They din't want to hear what I had to say, so I hung up. I tried to call a few more times, and just got no where with this issue.

BBALLR..I wanted to say I'm in the military, too. I was deployed in 2003, to Kwaitt/Iraq. We came back in 2004. God bless ya!! Hope you come home safe. I serve in the Army Reserves. Now...back to the Mitchell thing. They ARE horrible!...The several times, that the 'office' has called me, I have NEVER to Ms. Kay(?). I've always talked to the secretary ( she claims..anyway). She always tells me that the "lawyer is too busy to talk to me." When they have called, I had a few different numbers, come up on my caller ID.

Wow! I really believed that " honesty is the best policy! " And, i still do, but, after reading all of this " worthy " advice, I am thrilled that I decided to check out Mitchell N. Kay website! I received a similiar letter that many of you ate talking about too. I called them and the representative talked so fast, I could not make out what he was saying! I am going to hold off and look into this matter further ! Thanks so much for the advice!

I got the same letter from this law office about two months ago stating i have an outstanding balance from T Mobile (which Ive never subscribed with, always has been with AT&T) for $213 but they would settle for $136. I looked them up and found some forums and ripoff consumer reports about this company, so I ignored the letter.

Two weeks ago, I finally convinced my husband to get rid of his TRUCK and get a car that wont burn holes in our pockets, so we went to a Toyota delearship and when they ran my credit report, it shows that I have an account in collection reported to the credit bureau by this law office!!!

OMG! The financial manager at the delearship asked me how come I have this bill in collection but all of our credit cards have zero balance... so I told him the story behind it, we were able to get the car. whew!

Anyways, 10 minutes as soon as we left the delearship, I called the 866 telephone number listed and spoke a to a rude Indian lady named Neja, told her I have never opened an account with Tmobile, she was pushing me to verify my last 4 of ssn and my address. I didnt do such thing and hung up after I gave her a 10 mins spiel.

Next day, I got 12 calls in my workplace from this law office, and its an automated message, this is becoming a nightmare and very embarrassing!!!! They called my office for the next 4 days, this time the number of calls are astronomically rising and sometimes, its a live person at the other line... then my boss started noticing, even my coworkers, thats when I got scared that this might cost me my job.

I spoke with my husband and we both decided to get it over with so I called last monday and paid the 'settlement amount' the lady i spoke to said that within 5 to 7 business days we will receive a confirmation letter that this debt has been settled. From what I have been reading, some contributors in this forum are saying that they never receive a letter to confirm paid debt? Should I call the Credit Bureau and give them detailed information on the payment we did?

HELP!!! I just want this out of my credit report!

i'm sorry to say this,but you got scammed.you should have file a dispute with the credit reporting agency.this scammer not only won't send a payment confirmation.they probably will continue to report it on your CR.on top of that,this scammer most likley will try to extort more money.i would file AG and FTC complaints.sorry to bring the bad news,but it is the mantra of this forum.NO VALIDATION IN WRITING NO PAYMENT.

here is how you solve the problem.first go to your bank and claim that you never authorized that payment.your bank should do a fraud investigation and return whatever monies were taken.next dispute this entry to the credit bureaus.after that file the complaints listed in my previous post.it is key to not mention the attempted payment to the credit bureaus.this is a scammer deulxe.

DO NOT PAY TO THIS COLLECTION OFFICE. THEIR CLAIM IS FRAUDULENT.
I received a letter (dated October 2008) in the mail stating that I owed on a delinquent T Mobile account from MAY 2006. I looked up a free annual credit report and saw that my "Collections" file was empty. The report did not show that I ever owned a T Mobile account and certainly was not delinquent on payments.
LOOK UP YOUR INFO ON
annualcreditreport (dotcom)!
DO NOT GIVE ANY ACCOUNT INFO TO THIS COMPANY!
THIS IS A SCAM!!!

Do nothing?.I like to pay my bills and have! But do not necessarily want to give away my money to crooks!!Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Don't EVER pay to collection agencies. Contact the company that you owe the money to. Work out an agreement with them and have them contact their debt collector and schedule a conference call with the 3 of you. Get it all straightened out before you send a penny to anyone. Trouble is, when you pay a debt collector you have no idea if the debt has been sold again and again to different debt collectors. These bad debts remain on your credit report forever unless you get it right the first time. I speak from experience!!!! I got a home improvement loan to pay off debts amount to around $25,000. These debt collectors took the money and ran because they no longer owned the debt they collected. Now, I still owe around $25,000 to all the credit card companies, etc. I learned the hard way! I have no recourse. I still owe the credit card companies.

Never give your bank account number out. Or..your SS# for that matter. No personal information!! There were a few debts I had that a CA cleed about. I told the CA I had arrangements with the OC. According to the CA, I had no such thing. They ( the CA) wanted my bank account and said that's the "only option I had." Yeah..right. I sent Moany Orders, for my payments, to the OC. I had the debt paid off ( the OC really worked with me with this). The CA, however, continues to say I never made a payment to the OC and I needed to pay them. MOST CA's can be scams..they just want money. I sent copies of the receipts, of my Moneyorders, to the CA. They said they never got them. The CA stopped calling some time ago.

My son moved out 5-6 yrs ago. He has never had T-mobile. He got a similar letter today saying the bill was $518.00 and to send 50% and they would accept. He is going to send a certified letter asking for the bill, account number, phone calling list and the date the debt was incurred. This is really bad they are doing this to people. Scares the heck out of you!

They CAN give out your SS# to other so-called companies..or, really..whoever they want. Or......god knows what. If they call again, don't answer the phone. Do you have Caller ID? Do they call with different numbers? When they called me, or sent a letter, they had 3 different numbers to "contact them." If you CAN get numbers off of your Caller ID, can you call your local police department? That may beable to 'trace' it somoehow.
