Tom,
Thanks for your comment. First, CLOSE that bank account!!! Second, were you officially served a summons? You have a judgment. The court clerk has all the information. The sheriff serves the papers. They are not aware of the specifics.

In Maryland “According to an attorney that is suing Mann Bracken on behalf of a consumer, Cory Zaidel has stated that consumers that are under a wage garnishment by Mann Bracken should file a motion to quash (set aside) the garnishment as the money being garnished may not be going to the creditor or debt buyer that obtained a judgment against them.”

“The claims are mounting,” said Towson consumer attorney Cory L. Zajdel, who is representing a Howard County woman in a suit against Mann Bracken for allegedly unfair debt-collection practices. Consumers whose wages are still being docked should file paperwork to quash the garnishment with the court that handled the case, Zajdel said. Maryland’s district courts have the necessary forms, he said. His concern is that money going to the defunct Mann Bracken might not make it to the creditors. ~ Baltimore Sun

Forget about the OC – long gone out of the situation.

I thought maybe I should mention that the actually attorney who the notice from FFG came from is the same person who filed the complaint with MB.

I had binding arbitration hearing with Mann-Bracken scheduled for February. They didn’t show up for my hearing, my paperwork from the court says, “it is hereby ORDERED that an award of non-suit is entered in favor of Defendant[me] and against Plaintiff.”

Today, I received a letter in the mail from Fulton, Friedman & Gullace LLP attempting to collect on this debt.

Where do I go from here?

I received a summons in spring 2009, and filed a response with the court in the 20 day period as the summons required. I heard nothing else after that. Today was supposed to be my arbitration, I showed up, no one from Mann Bracken did. After waiting an hour the clerk said the judge will rule in my favor, and I’ll receive the papers in the mail. Is this over at this point? Is there anything else I should be doing or looking out for? Thanks!

Loraclm,
Thanks for your comment. We suggest that you talk to an attorney in your state. Do you reside in GA?

We do not know what the grounds would be to file a motion to vacate in THIS situation.
We advise you to contact the GA Dept of Consumer Affairs and tell them your situation.

Contact our office if you have further questions.

I have a judgement that I have been paying Mann Bracken Monthly payments on. I have never received a statement or confirmation of payment. I am trying to buy a house but first was told I had to take care of this judgement, so I tried calling Mann Bracken at every number I could find for them and they are all disconnected. Mann Bracken is the law firm collecting the debt for a third party collection agency Platinum Financial Services. I would like to file a motion to vacate this judgement, for Mann Bracken does not exist and they have not provided me any statements and I cannot get a hold of anyone. Do you think I would have a valid motion?
