Complaint Review: Phillip & Cohen Associates Ltd - Westampton New Jersey

The following letter is the first step in disentangling oneself from the clutches of this outfit. It should go to one or both of the branches, whichever is/are bugging you. The next step if they are not thus dissuaded will be to appeal to the victim's State's Attorney General office and the American Collectors Association and his or her local State Bar Association for instructions as to how to file, the proper forms to do so, and what other information is pertinent.

And by saying they are - they broke federal FDCPA law. What Bud Hibbs has to say about this lawbreaking bottomfeeder Adam S. Cohen, Attorney Debt & Death Collector: Adam S. Cohen, Esq. serves as Co-Chairman/CEO of Phillips & Cohen Associates, Ltd., a collection agency servicing the industry's leading creditors and debt buyers in the US, Canada and UK. In addition to providing traditional recovery services, Phillips & Cohen Associates offers unique and innovative programs and is recognized as the market leader in comprehensive deceased debt recovery. Educated at The George Washington University and Villanova University School of Law, Mr. Cohen has overseen operations at Phillips & Cohen Associates from one office at inception to six domestic and two international sites comprising approximately 650 employees. Adam S. Cohen Phillips & Cohen Associates, Ltd. (photo courtesy Google) That story about debt collectors collecting from the grave is true, just ask Adam S. Cohen, attorney, partner and debt collector of Phillips & Cohen. This New Jersey agency has sent letters for money in as little as one week after the death of a consumer. Their agency sent out thousands of letters to people who were not yet dead in what was later said to be a massive mistake on their part. See Death Letters (above). Phillips & Cohen is also involved in filing arbitration claims out of their Delaware office. Don't expect to receive any documents that validity to their claims, many consumers we have talked with say they don't exist. Expect to lose the arb claims as Phillips & Cohen have jumped on the FREE money train the National Arbitration Forum, Minneapolis, MN is driving across America, where debt collectors have a 97.999% guarantee of a 20% profit on their claims. Since validation of debts is a difficult if not impossible task for bottom feeders such as Phillips & Cohen they have also been known to collect for other vulture debt collectors who have little or documents that back up their claims. Can death debt collectors like Phillips & Cohen screw you to death, then screw you again? Looks to me as though Adam S. Cohen has already answered that question. extortion n. obtaining money or property by threat to a victim's property or loved ones, intimidation, or false claim of a right (such as pretending to be an IRS agent). It is a felony in all states, except that a direct threat to harm the victim is usually treated as the crime of robbery. Blackmail is a form of extortion in which the threat is to expose embarrassing, damaging information to family, friends or the public.

NEVER give them any information on your bank/credit accounts, or post-dated checks. YOU WILL REGRET IT!!
