CHRISTOPHER HESS IS A BAD MAN. I USED TO WORK FOR CHRIS HESS ALSO AT VINCENT P. CIGNARALE LAW FIRM. HE WAS MY MANAGER AS WELL. I WAS SENT IN AS A SPY TO WORK THERE.FOR THE FDCPA, THE ABOVE NAME IS AN ALIAS........THE FOLLOWING ACCOUNT, A TRUE STORY....... I BEGAN WORKING AT CIGNARLE AS A COLLECTION AGENT WITH THE BEST OF INTENTIONS. I DID NOT EXPECT THE EVENTS THAT WOULD FOLLOW. I STARTED WORKING THERE ON A TUESDAY, IT SEEMED A FRIENDLY WORK ENVIRONMENT WITH STRONG ETHICAL STANDARDS. AT FIRST MY CASELOAD WAS BAREABLE. I WAS KIND AND COURTEOUS TO THE DEBTORS BUT ALL TOO SOON THAT WASN'T ENOUGH. MY SUPERVISOR WHOM I SHALL CALL JAY KERMP BEGAN TAKING LIBERTIES WITH MY TRUST. HE CORNERED ME SEVERAL TIMES AND EXPLAINED THAT IF I DID NOT REACH MY MONTHLY BUDGET HE WOULD DO TO ME WHAT WAS DONE TO HIM DURING HIS TIME IN MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON FOR PURCHASING ALCOHOL ON 10 SEPARATE OCCASION FOR MINORS UNDER THE AGE OF 12. IT RAPIDLY BECAME AN ATMOSPHERE OF FEAR AND REPRISAL. WHEN I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO MUSTER THE COURAGE TO COMPLAIN TO THE HEAD MANAGER, CHRIS HESS, WHO USED TO CALL HIMSELF MR. CHECKERS, HE PUT HIS ARM AROUND ME, LAUGHED AND TOLD ME TO DROP MY TROUSERS. HE PROCEEDED TO TAKE PICTURES OF MY UNDERGARMENTS AND TOLD ME IF I EVER TOLD ANYONE THAT HE WOULD POST THEM ON THE WEB. JAY, MY SUPERVISOR CORNERED ME SEVERAL TIMES IN THE BOYS ROOM AND MADE ME PERFORM LEWD AND LACIVIOUS ACTS ON HIS CAMERA PHONE, MOSTLY JUMPING UP AND DOWN IN THE NUDE SCREAMING " I LOVE JELLO!". I FINALLY TURNED TO ATTY CIGNARALE AND AIRED MY GRIEVANCES. HE TOLD ME THAT NONE OF
WHAT I DESCRIBED CONSTITUTED ANYTHING RESEMBLING A WARRANT FOR LEGAL RECOURSE. I FINALLY LEFT AND HAVE BEEN IN THERAPY FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. EVERY SO OFTEN SOMEONE FROM THE OFFICE WILL DRIVE BY MY HOUSE AND ASK FOR MY TROUSERS...I USUALLY TELL THEM NO.
