Blalack and Williams filed a levy against our bank accounts.  When we called to resolve the issue, they were slow to answer our questions and negotiate an agreeable resolution.  When were were finally able to try and work with them, they were unethical, unprofessional, and dishonest.

We made an offer of $5,000 to settle the debt.  Chris Blalack advised us that he would speak to his client to see if this would be an acceptable amount.  After a week of waiting we finally heard back from him that they were in agreement to our offer of $5,000.

We paid the $5,000 and were given a document stating that an agreement had been made and that the bank had agreed to take $600 in fees out of our bank for their legal fees and then release the levy.

However, prior to release of our accounts, we noticed a deduction for $2,458.63.  When we inquired about the fee from our bank, we were told that they had received a release letter from Blalack and Williams instructing them to issue a check for this amount to their client, take their $600 for attorney fees and then release the hold on the accounts.

Needless to say this came as quite a shock as we had already paid them what had been negotiated.  We had to go to the bank to obtain a copy of the release notification that was actually sent to the bank instead of the one we were given.  

After reviewing the release letter, I saw that it had been drawn up and signed by a judge after we made the offer of $5,000 and 3 days prior to Blalack giving my husband a fake copy of the agreement to accept our offer.

Blalack further delayed resolution by faxing the signed agreement to the bank 15 days after the judge had signed the release and 12 days from the signing of the fake settlement given to my husband.  They had told us that it would only take 2-3 days for the bank to release our accounts and that they had already sent the release to them which we now know to have been false.

As of this writing, we have paid $2,458.63 more than the negotiated settlement and our bank accounts have still not been released.  I understand that our mistake put us into this situation, but we made every attempt to resolve the debt in good faith.  It is unfortunate that we have been taken advantage of in this way.
