Stop Collection Agency Harassment

They could well be the largest debt collection agency in the US. This collection agency will sue the consumer and will show up in court. Beware of any letters and respond quickly. Mann Bracken has a reputation of using arbitration to intimidate the consumer. There is not alot to say about this debt collector and their tactics.

THEY SUE.

Their usual behavior is to use phone calls and letters to the consumer. Even if the alleged debt is very old, do not ignore and respond in writing about the statute of limitations.

If you are served with a summons, the consumer can be sued on an old debt if you do not respond quickly. Arbitration is not something you want to have to fight the debt collector on but it can be done and you can win. Do not be intimidated. Contact a consumer attorney.

Since we are located in Georgia, we hear about Mann Bracken often. However, they are in multiple states and growing.

From Bud Hibbs:We were told at the beginning of the month that Wolpoff & Abramson, Eskanos & Adler, and Mann Bracken were each bought out by Axiant. Each of the law firms will continue appear in court under their firm names, and all of the attorneys will still be employees of the firms, but all of their collections accounts are now merged. All non-legal personnel (everyone except attorneys) now work for Axiant. I do not know what states Wolpoff and Eskanos have actual attorneys in, but Mann Bracken is set up in Georgia, Tennessee, North & South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, D.C., and Texas. The Mann Bracken attorneys will take Wolpoff and Eskanos accounts in those states and sue. The same goes for the other entities – they’ll take Mann Bracken accounts in their “live” states and sue.Information we have received suggests that Mann Bracken’s collection accounts are down, way down. The industry as a whole is reporting a massive 10% drop in receipts for November 2008. Almost every day we receive notice of another agency closing or filing for bankruptcy. Consumers are holding on to their money like never before, especially from the likes of Mann Bracken who are finding more consumer lawyers showing up in courts to have their bogus claims challenged and defeated. You and everyone else dealing with Mann Bracken are encouraged to fight them tooth and nail, force them to validate, tie up their collectors with calls an letters, hire a consumer lawyer on all cases including arbitration claims. The more expensive you make it for them by invoking the laws that protect consumers, the better. William Christopher Bracken, III, one of the head debt collectors uses the blood money they collect to keep up appearances from his $1 million dollar home in the Highgrove Sub Division of Atlanta. His goons lie, threaten and file these bogus claims so he and his family can live off money that they may not legally be entitled to. The American consumer holds the key to allowing these parasites the right to collect, I say make them pay the price of proving it and suffer the consequences when they can’t. Mann Bracken is no different than the scammers on Wall Street who took our money, we should all hold them accountable for their actions.

Here is a great testimony of a victory for this consumer.

October 2008: “Mann Bracken placed a restraint on my checking account, causing checks to bounce and legal fee’s to grow each month. They got a bogus judgment stating that I was served to appear in court. They claimed to have left the summons with a relative of mine, however that relative doesn’t even exist, and the house they supposedly served was boarded up and abandoned. Also, the money they were trying to collect was from a default credit card, which was proven to be fraudulent and so I am not responsible for that debt. I have paper proof from all three credit agencies to back that up also.

I reported Mann Bracken to the BBB, giving the BBB all of my evidence that Mann Bracken is totally full of crap, and now Mann Bracken has released my checking account, has agreed to pay all of the fines and damages they caused, and they are having the court order vacated.

So I would just get all of your evidence together and call them out on their bull sh-t. It worked for me. They were talking all big and bad, giving me attitude and threatening me, but as soon as I turned it all around on them, they have been very cooperative.

However, I strongly suggest keeping on top of everything they are supposed to be taking care of. They are sneaky bastards that like to lie and cut corners. So if you are lucky enough to have beaten them, make sure you hold them to their word and keep checking up on their progress, and when they don’t do what they say, keep reporting them, it always gets the ball rolling again.”
