Bud Says…

This is the Buffalo, NY home of some of America’s most illegal and worst debt collectors. They use a group of WNY Rent-A-Lawyers such as McKelvey, Burgess, Giove, Collins and Kretschman who are paid a commission for the use of their law licenses so they can threaten, harass, abuse and extort monies they are not entitled to. Word we have is this organization is in DEEP financial do-do with lawsuits hitting them from across the country. From the BIG recent financial loss suffered by experienced FDCPA litigator; Terrance D. ($weet Home Alabama) McKelvey to the countless lawsuits being filed (some were actually paid) to the judgments being filed for their lawlessness, this group of con artists are on VERY thin ice, with cracks everywhere. Word is their suppliers are staying away because of the bad reputation they have and it is widely held they may not survive the year because of their wild spending and the lavish lifestyle of owner Douglas J. MacKinnon who is rumored to be building a $MILLION DOLLAR home in the Clarence, NY area.

Rent-A-Lawyer Brenda Lee Kretschman, 50 released letters making statements on her lawyer letterhead stating how they never have proof of any debts they buy and new flunkies Amy Oatmeyer may find herself in deep legal trouble for signing those bogus affidavits (Amy, can you spell perjury? And whose girlfriend are you??) Her statements state she is authorized to make hearsay statements about accounts that were purchased AFTER they defaulted, so anyone with a First American Investment Company suit or credit bureau placement may have a nice legal claim for their lies. (Copies of those letters are on page one of this site).

Based on the number of complaints we receive daily, I speculate that FAIC and their Rent-A-Lawyer Empire is hurting for money and that things will only get worse. The debt buying industry is drying up from too many players, this organization and their members are feeling the wrath of both consumers and the legal industry. To make matters worse, Head Boss Douglas J. MacKinnon reportedly has a big gambling habit, too many toys, loves his women and acts as though the money will never run out. He is working a lot of paper that is old, out of statutes and worthless, however it still brings in money, so he can keep up appearances and his extravagant lifestyle.

Consumer lawyers from across the country are suing them for their brazen disregard for the law and heir incredible stupidity, or is it ignorance? I am of the opinion that many of these players WILL end up in jail, including MacKinnon and several lawyers. The push things too far, they think they won’t get nabbed and they don’t think anyone is watching them. When they do go down, I will publish a LOT of information.

In the meantime it is VERY important that anyone being contacted by their Rent-A-Lawyers, or who find anything on their credit files by First American Investment Co do the following:

-NEVER give them any money, banking or credit card information, you are throwing it away.
-ALWAYS send them a dispute validation notice on every letter or call they make.
-FORWARD any affidavits from First American Investment, we will get it in the right hands.
-DISPUTE anything placed on your credit files with the credit bureaus as…”Not my account.”
-CONTACT us for referral to a local consumer law professional if needed.
-TAPE all of their calls from their collectors (where legal) for use in legal proceedings against them.
-CANCEL any bank drafts, checks or credit card agreements made with them or their collectors.
-LIARS, they lie about me and anyone in the advocacy business, what else would you expect from this trash?
-YOU DO NOT WANT TO BECOME A VICTIM OF THEIR SCAM!

DON’T FALL FOR THEIR LIES!!
