Almonte v. Chase: Judgments sold to Debt One for 1.02% of balance
I just posted the Chase / DebtOne agreement and my analysis:
Chase JUDGMENTS sold to DebtOne for 1.02% of balance
What a wonderful lawsuit. According to Linda Almonte, Chase fired her after she refused to participate in illegal activities, such as “defrauding the federal government regarding the purported value of the portfolio on its books, by defrauding its auditors and accountants regarding the nature and value of the asset, and by ultimately defrauding investors – purchasers of its publicly traded stock.”
That’s straight from Alimonte’s response to the Chase motion to dismiss.
Chase had the case removed to federal court, no doubt because they own many (but not all) federal judges.

NCLC FDCPA and FCRA pleadings and resources on the web
I just ordered the 2010 FDCPA update at the National Consumer Law Center for only $56. If you haven’t previously purchased the manuals and you’re suing creditors or collectors, it’s WELL worth the $150 for the FDCPA manual and the $150 for the FCRA manual.
For internet resources, check out Consumer Law on the Web
It shows the price as only $240, but I don’t know if that’s discounted due to my membership. That’s the complete library of ALL subjects and includes many sample pleadings. If you are going to represent yourself in court, that’s a MUST have.
And as long time readers know, there’s a REASON I ordered the FDCPA update. Stay tuned ...

Kim Letus, owner Rondout Legal (process servers) threatens with attorneys
There’s the next genius who thinks that EVERYBODY is afraid of lawyers.
This is regarding the Cohen & Slamowitz debt collection lawsuit and the debtor’s affidavit stating that the papers were NOT posted at his door on 10/3/09 as process server Mark McCumber stated in his affidavit of services.
The debtor found the papers at his door a full week later and he also got a sworn affidavit from a neighbor who confirmed his address with “a” process server AFTER 10/3/09.
We even have a reason for the falsification: the time to serve allowed by the court rules was about to expire.
Cohen & Slamowitz are infamous for their unfair collection practices and I already posted the landmark ruling against them.
One can conclude that they have “relationships” with servers who work extremely cheap because they get lots of business from them and since MOST debt collection suits result in DEFAULTS, there is very little risk of getting caught when falsifying affidavits of service.
NY AG Cuomo had over 100,000 judgments vacated last year because servers routinely falsified affidavits of service.
Nothing changed since. Recently a debt collection suit by Forster & Garbus was dismissed because the affidavit of service claimed personal service. Another lie, and this time it was easy to prove because they indicated the incorrect hair color and height for the defendant on the affidavit.
And now Kim Letus is threatening me with attorneys for publishing the TRUTH.
She posted several times at the Liars & Cheats EXPOSED Cohen & Slamowitz blog and now Ms. Letus is featured in her own topic:
Rondout Legal owner Kim Letus threatens with lawsuit re affidavit of service
If she keeps it up, she’ll get her own blog. Another genius.

Miller v. Cohen & Slamowitz court order: unfair practices violate FDCPA
Incredibly, Cohen & Slamowitz FAILED to assign attorneys to active cases until consumers filed an answer even AFTER the court ruled against them in the Miller case in 9/09.
Of course MOST collection lawyers have nothing but contempt for consumers and they ignore disputes. The calls are usually routed to aggressive COLLECTORS who TALK like attorneys and intimidate consumers into settling or making partial payment arrangements. That’s what happened to me at Cohen & Slamowitz.
I really hope my client can find an attorney to represent him on contingency.

AZ State Bar complaint by collection lawyer
Just when I thought I’d seen it all.
Lowlife collection lawyer Jennifer Spiegel with Hammerman & Hultgren filed a complaint with the AZ State Bar alleging that I’m practicing law.
Why would they file this totally false complaint?
They IGNORED an FDRS victim’s notice of being defrauded by FDRS and his request for assistance with pursuing FDRS and Mark Cella. So in 7/09 I faxed the power of attorney and requested a response from attorney Stanley Hammerman. Apparently they didn’t appreciate that and immediately filed the Bar complaint.
I have NO idea why the Bar waited until February to send me their complaint and I finally responded. I’m EXTREMELY busy, but I am SO glad for this complaint because they MADE me take the time to document and publicize what SCUM they license.
Notably, I’m not aware of an investigation of FDRS, Mark Cella, Cathy Quintos et al, the morons who DID practice law and provided my clients with the documents to file in court, resulting in SANCTIONS against them.
Of course these scum sucking bottom feeding lawyers knew that, but couldn’t have cared less. Most lawyers would open the gas valves in Auschwitz if it got them paid. They have no conscience, no ethics, no morals ... THEY are the reason for most of the world’s problems.
The LAWYERS make it possible for bankers to defraud us and for cold blooded murderers to kill millions—with impunity.
So here’s the new blog, with my response to the Bar:
Arizona State Bar supports CRIMINALS, corrupt lawyers and banks
As always, if you’re (near) judgment-proof, STOP paying your unsecured debts to national banks.
Vote with your MONEY!
