Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
This company bullied me into giving them my bank account information and setting up a payment plan. BIG MISTAKE. I quickly changed my mind and decided to pay my debt in full for a settlement they gave me in writing.

I paid the settlement in full with one check. I was then shocked to see that they had still debited $500 from my checking account. This never should have occured, was unauthorized by me, and was above and beyond the amount that we agreed to in writing.

I figured this was a simple mistake that be easily remedied by replacing the funds back into my account (after all this time THEY owed me money). However I have received nothing but trouble and unprofessionalism from each and every one of the "people" I have spoken with.

The money was taken from my account on June 26, 2007 and one month later today I have yet to get an answer from them.

Bottom line: I am concerned I will never get this money back and tired of dealing with rude and inappropriate people who continue to give me the runaround. Frederick J. Hanna & Associates should be reprimanded for their appalling behavior.

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 FCC -- 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):

State Bar of Georgia

Atlanta, Georgia 30303

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.
