Important info for current/past mezey clients
Date: Mon, 07/02/2007 - 20:24
To: all past/present clients of Mezey & Associates "Law Firm" aka yourdebtlawyer.com , yourdebtlawyer.net aka NLDC (National Legal Debt Center)., aka NDS,
If you are one of the many upset and dissatisfied debt settlement clients that feel you were done wrong by this firm and it's owners Harry Reis and JW (Joseph Wade) Mezey, the FTC and the Cal. Atty Generals Office needs your help in order to investigate them, which in turn could potentially lead to sanctions and maybe refunds for some. If you have been wronged it is important that you file a complaint with all 3 regulatory bodies so that an investigation might begin and hopefully prevent others from being wronged. Filing a negative report with BBB (bbb.com) is a good first step, but far more effective is to contact the FTC by calling their toll free # to file a complaint at 1-877-382-4357, then press 2 four times to get you to the right place. Also file a complaint with the office of the atty. gen. in CA by using the simple online complaint form.
Or you can call or write the office below:

In doing my research and digging I learned that Harry Reis is THE owner (and non-attorney) who "runs the show" and apparently hides behind the scenes not caring about the upset clients. He is mainly responsible and accountable, as is Mr. Mezey, for the operation/marketing/procedures of his debt settlement company. Do a search on this site for "Mezey" and then "Reis" and you will discover other upset clients that posted. Keep in mind that the only positive posts you'll see were falsely created by the owners, it's obvious.
Christopher Reis is Harry's son and partner/CFO and he runs an office in Las Vegas. I also learned that the many sales reps/debt consultants and other support employees are not responsible as they were just following the strict rules and procedures that the owners (Mr. Reis and Mr. Mezey) set up and mandated that they follow, thus leading to a very negative and warranted BBB report with many complaints that the company does not even respond to. Bottom line- it's Mezey's name on the contract.Once one became a client it was totally out of the debt consultant's hands and they were powerless to help and were instructed by Mr. Reis never to communicate with the client anymore after they signed up. Mr. Reis claims his debt settlement company is a "law firm" as advertised on their websites yourdebtlawyer.com and yourdebtlawyer.net and marketing material. The only atty. is Mr. Mezey and he really is not even an active part of the co. as he has a totally separate office in a separate town (all public on the NY Atty Search website) he is more less just on the contract. The company that handles all the signup/service/negotiation (pretty much everything) is Americorp, a totally separate back end company and again, definately not a "law firm" that they deceive you into believing when you call their customer service #. Americorp's email address is used when sending and receiving contract to the client, no "law firm" is involved what so ever!! Could this just be a very deceptive and fraudulent marketing gimmick?
If you contact the regulatory bodies above to voice your complaint here are following names and addresses of the responsible principles and officers:
