I have been harrassed by Mann Bracken for months. They have not stopped calling despite my demands for them to cease and desist per the Fair Credit Practices Act guidelines.
They have not proven any debt that I owe, and have never responded to any of my correspondence. I told them they had 30 days to not only prove the debt, but that they had legal standing to collect it. I also demanded that they have my alleged creditor send proof to me directly that they have hired this law firm to handle this matter. Without this information, I would never consider giving any personal information to these people or cooperate with them in any way. Anyone can say they are collecting a debt. They have failed to provide proof of anything.
Their fax number is fraudulent, and when I spoke with them they would not provide a correct fax number as they said they only want to talk to people. This tells me that they refuse to obey the law when I tell them I will only communicate in writing.
I spoke with three different people on the phone, all of them lied to me, and none of them would answer my questions. One of them even called me an "[***]."
ALL of these things are illegal and are against the Fair Credit Practices Act. I found the following website which says what you can actually sue for regarding their unfair practices and harrassment. These people need to be stopped, and when I have seen the great number of people that they are harrassing, it makes the fight even more important.
Sunday evening calls, usually around 6:30 pm. They ask for someone I don't know. Message says they are from Mann Bracken. I called the 800-830-2793 number to ask them to stop, but no one ever comes on phone. They use 2 numbers, 301-882-9977 and 9976. Now, I just pick up phone & hang up. My attorney says to ignore calls.
They are Wolpoff and Abramson; one of the WORSE collection agencies in the country. They will end up in a class action lawsuit before it's over I assure you. They are trying to collect on a debt that is more than 7 years old (which is illegal).
I have been getting calls on my company cell phone since it was given to me 2 years ago. When the calls first started right after I got the phone I just assumed the new number the phone company assigned to my new work cell belonged to the people they were looking for - so I called and called and called and they assured me my number was taking off their call list and it finally stopped after about 7 months of calls - then out of the blue three monts later it all started again, twice a day and then on sundays too...whats really bad is that this is a company cell/work phone and they are wasting my employers time and money by making these calls as ofetn as they do..there really must be something to stop these sons a *&((*
