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

I have just started to receive the phone calls myself. This company is also claiming to be a law firm that is going to take me to court over a debt that was written off by a lender. During one call I asked the man if his company was located in the Atlanta area to which her replied no. The fact is they are located in Marrietta, GA a suburb of Atlanta. When I called their toll free number the initial disclaimer identifies them as a debt collector yet everyone, including the manager on duty claims they are not a debt collector they are a legal office that was hired by the lender. However the lender and I have already spoken. Since the company is passing themselves off as a law firm and their written notices indicate Attorneys At Law I am reporting them to the Georgia Bar Association because they are not acting in the capacity of Attorneys. Also, if you want to get back at them simply repeatedly call their toll free number and ask to speak to Frederick J. Hanna. After 3 calls in 20 minutes they asked me to stop calling and bothering them but I not so politely pointed out they initiated it with their phone calls to me and asked them how they liked it. Also, for this person, you need to report them to the State Attorney's Office. As a debt collector it is illegal for them to discus any personal or debt information with anyone other than the person that owes the debt, including your mother unless her name is on the account as joint owner of the account. Writing and calling the company does not accomplish anything, reporting them to the appropriate governing agencies does.

Here is the letter i sent: 12-11-2007 Frederick J. Hanna & Associates, P.C. Attn: Dennis E. Henry 1427 Roswell Road Marietta, GA. 30062 Tel: 770-916-9220 Fax: 770-980-0528 Toll Free: 800-450-6575 Mr. Henry, I am in reciept of your collection letter dated December 04, 2007 re: YOUR file# 07382647. You claim that you are collecting for FIA Cardservices, N.A. in the amount of 7,051.80 with an account# of 4888936021200146. The first thing I will tell you is that I dispute this claim altogether as bogus, as I have never had an account with that # with FIA Cardservices, and I have never had even 1 delinquent payment with FIA Cardservices. However, I am an authorized user on a FIA Cardservices account that is in good standing. Therefore, you have engaged in FRAUD and an immediate Bar Association complaint will be filed for that fraud and breach of ethics, as well as full reporting to all consumer sites including, but not limited to RipOffReport, scam, budhibbs, etc. A formal complaint will also go off to the FTC as well, and other authorities as appropriate. I wil also have fun posting your toll free# to various gay and kiddie porn sites. **Furthermore, you have BLATANTLY violated a CEASE COMMUNICATIONS REQUEST that I sent you by certified mail/rrr approx 1.5 years ago. I have all communications on this prior event as well as the proff of service to you. This is worth up to $1000 plus costs and actual damages to me in District Court. I'll see you there. Bring your checkbook. You people are just too stupid to live. Did you get your law license in the bottom of a Cracker Jack box or what? Or maybe that's where you found your business ethics. Listen up all crackhead collectors and wannabe lawyers. You come after me, YOU LOSE. Guaranteed. I have nothing to lose and you have everything to lose. I own no assets and all of my income is exempt for civil garnishment. I have a VA Disability Pension that you cant touch, and my paycheck from my part time job is already garnished to the State of Florida maximum of 25%. Therefore you get nothing. So I urge you to spend your time and money and sue me immediately, as you will get nothing. I am glad though, that you gave me what I needed to sue you successfully on the blatant FDCPA violation. I can always use the extra money. Look for your summons crackhead. Disclaimer: This is a communication from one of your victims of illegal and unethical collection efforts and any information collected will be used for the purpose of eliminating another bottomfeeder.
