Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
Today, I got a letter from this "law firm" which states:

Dear JOSHUA W **** (not giving my last name)

Please be advised that this law firm represents Chase Bank USA, N.A. in its effort to collect your delinquent debt as shown above. Please contact our office to make arrangements to pay the unpaid balance.

Unless you notify this office within thirty (30) days after receiving this notice that your dispute the validity of the debt or any portion thereof, this office will assume this debt is valid. If you notify this office in writing within thirty (30) days from receiving this notice that you dispute the validity of this debt or any portion thereof, this office will obtain verification of the debt or obtain a copy of a Judgement and mail you a copy of such Judgement or verification. If you request this office in writing within thirty (30) days after receiving this noice, this office will provide you with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor. This is an attempt to collect a debt. Any information obtained will be used for that purpose.

Sincerely,

Dennis E. Henry

"This is a communication from a debt collector"

Wow...

I've looked up everyone on the list on the top of the page in the American Bar's Database...nothing. I did find Dennis Henry in the Georgia State Bar. You can find him at http://www.gabar.com under "Member Directory Search" and look his name up. Apparently it's in "Good Standing".

I'm thinking he is the only one sending this letter out because he is the only one that's actually apparently, supposedly, a "lawyer".

I honestly don't know what I'm doing to do with this. As I am out of a job (laid-off) and I have no mortgage, or even a car that's worth anything (no car payment). So I have no assets? What are they going to do, sue me? That's like suing a homeless person. I have nothing.

Oh well. I hope they burn in hell.

It looks like Rip Off Report redacted my links on how to fight debt collector lawsuits for Hanna and Zwicker, and for help blogs.  For help with the lawsuits you can do a Google search for a book and website by Allen Harkleroad titled Stick it to sue happy debt collectors.  The help blog I linked is Next Level Unlimited Credit.  I do not have any stake in any of these sites, I am just posting to try to help other consumers.  I do understand why Rip Off Report redacts links however.

The Georgia Supreme Court says Hanna is a "law firm," so you have to submit a bar complaint vs. them (and not a consumer complaint with the state OCA or federal FTC -- but fine if you do that too anyway).  You may submit a bar complaint vs. Fred Hanna (the owner of the "firm") and any atty. that may have contacted you that also violated bar rules for atty.s:

(Call and ask for a bar complaint, and if they have them online):

RE:  Request for Validation of Debt, 15 U.S.C. 1692g

Dear Sir or Madam:

This is my formal notice that I am disputing this debt, and requesting immediate validation under Section 809 of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. 1692g, of the debt from your office.  I am requesting that your office immediately send me a copy of the following documents: (a) the name, address, and phone number of an employee of the original creditor that can validate the debt, (b) proof of who is the current legal owner of the debt, and that you represent the original creditor or debt buyer, and (c) the original signed note, contract, credit agreement, or instrument creating the debt.

I am disputing this debt for the following reasons:  this debt has not been validated.  I do not know whether your debt collection company is the legal owner of this debt or not, or if the amounts charged are valid.

This is also my formal notice under 15 U.S.C. 1692c, to you to cease all further communications with me, my family members, and my associates and all third parties, unless I give you express permission to do so.  You have my express permission to mail me the requested validation documents to the address listed below, but I do not give you permission to contact me over the phone, or in any other way except as specifically addressed in this letter.
                    
This letter is not meant in any way to be an acknowledgment that I owe this money.


Sincerely,


John Doe
