The firm that called me was Machol & Johannes, LLC. They said they were a law firm calling about collections. They did not ask for anyone who lives here by name, and upon researching them, none of the people listed on their website of www.mjfirm.com has a Bar number in Colorado where they are based. They "do business" in Colorado, Washington state, Oregon, New Mexico, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and Oklahoma.
They keep changing the name of the business, so watch out very carefully for them. Names in the business are:
Gronowski, Arianne (Attorney) Johannes, Randall DKaplan, James A.Machol, Jacques A. IIIMachol, Jacques A. Jr.Spencer, Chad (Attorney). Look for any combination of these names on your caller ID.
The firm Machol & Johannes have called my mother looking for me, and she told them I don't live there, which I don't. She also asked them to not call their number again, and they replied "We will stop calling you when she calls us." So, I went to the law firms web site so that I could email them about stopping their calls to my parents house. Here is the link to their contacts, and that phone number is listed as their main number. http://www.mjfirm.com/contact.html If what you say, Denver, is true, then like I told M and J, I will file a harassment claim against these people.
I just received what looks lie a summons from this "law firm" mentioned, Machol & Johannes, LLC that says it's collecting a debt for Chase, a debt I do owe but have had problems...get this, I was late with a payment by a couple of days after paying on time for 2 years, they jacked up my interest and all of a sudden my minimum payment of $35 was $165 and I just couldn't afford it at the time.
Looks like from here that this is a bad place to deal with.
My question...is this a real summons for court? I would imagine it is, but am going to call Chase and see if I can work it out with them, something I admit I should have done long ago, but the couple of times I did I was snubbed by the customer service reps I spoke with! I have a credit card through Capital One that I've had as long as the Chase one, twice was late by a few days, they were so freakin' nice to me on the phone, removed the late fee and told me what a good customer I was! Chase could learn a few things from them!!!!
I had a credit one credit card for $300.00 They garnished my account with documentation for $1,991.00
To date They've taken over $2,000 from me in garnishments and say that I still owe a couple hundred dollars!! Spoke to me with out verifying my information, said they'd pay the 30 dollars if I paid 250 (didn't mention this would be a settlement and not paid in full: I've already paid over 2k for a 300 bill & they want to report on my credit that I didn't pay the whole 300 dollar bill!)
Truly sick and spiteful employees that call them self debt collectors. They're not debt collectors, they're professional scam artist that tack on extra money for accounts that they have no justification to do so.
