Blitt & Gaines is unscrupulous in their collection practices. They are given a judgment without going through the proper channels of first notifying the the person they are suing. The law states you have 30 days to dispute but when you do not receive the notification required by law it is impossible to dispute the charge. They sued me for an amount of $621 for an account that is over 20 years old and have managed to collect $1037 and still want more!!

That in itself is unethical. They garnished my wages for a higher amount than the judgment on my credit report, then take 2 months to post payments to the judgment account. By doing this they can charge more interest on the larger amount, then they could have if they had posted the amount when they received it (which was probably no more than 10 days after it was mailed-maybe sooner if the payment was made electronically).

According to my company's garnishment papers the account is now paid in full, but according to them I still owe about $110, which they will continue to chage 9% interest on even if I were to make that additional payment because it will take them 2 months to post the payment to my account, at which time they will show an outstanding balance. Then it will take at least another 30 days to receive any documentation from them showing a zero balance on the account.

They also say they are not responsible for reporting the judgment satisfied, that the client is the responsible party and that there is no guarantee that they will do so. I have my doubts that I will ever get this paid off because they do not post payments in a timely manner. I feel that they should not be able to get more money if the amount of the garnishment sent to an employer has been satisfied. Basically this company is nothing but a bunch of thieves.

Thieves? How Interesting!

AUTHOR: Jim - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, December 08, 2016

 I guess YOU shouldn't be considered a thief for NOT paying for the goods or services they sued you for, right? As you come here to attempt to discredit this company for doing their job, let us not forget, it was YOU who turned on the collections machine. If YOU would have paid your bill on time, YOU wouldn't have caused this!

Report them to the CFPB

AUTHOR: FloridaNative - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, December 08, 2016

Collection agencies have very specific duties when collecting on a debt. Report them to the CFPB.  Also look up the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. It is the creditor's responsibility to timely record the Satisfaction of Judgment, not the debtor's responsibility. It does sound like they are not doing the right thing by dragging out the posting to accrue more interest. The CFPB is very good about putting a stop to this kind of mistreatment. You can file a complaint with them online.  The more documentation you have for them, the better to bolster your complaint.
