Now this is some truly dirty *&%^. 

Donna L. Russell, in coordination with Maury Wessels, have decided to increase transparency of the Chancery Court in Memphis, TN by taking the judgement records of downtrodden Memphis residents and plastering them all over the front page of Google. 

Now this is the court's perogative but I, however, noticed something unusual. I noticed that only the names of Memphis Residents that sounded "Ethnically Black" were showing up all over google. The names that sounded "white" were not in google search results AT ALL! These names were ALL ON THE SAME JUDGEMENT LIST! 

I went down the list googling each name and every single name that showed in Google belonged to that of a minority. White names DID NOT SHOW.

Now for those of you who don't know Memphis has a terrible job market and a terrible history of chronically high unemployment. Donna L. Russell is the Clerk and Master of the Chancery Court in Shelby County, which is located in Memphis, Tennessee. She came into office during an embezzelment Scam with her court and she said that one way she would combat theft is to increase transparency. How on earth is taking the personal financial records of Memphis residents and plastering them all over the FRONT PAGE of Google to humiliate people who had suffered a job loss, loss of a spouse therefore losing spousal income or a medical emergency increasing transparency of the court?

There are MANY records at the Chancery Court that the Chancery Court has chosen not to release to Google. So why release the personal financial failings of BLACK MEMPHIS RESIDENTS? AND NOT WHITE? Again the WHITE NAMES on the JUDGEMENT LIST WERE NOT SENT TO GOOGLE. ONLY THE BLACK SOUNDING NAMES.The Chancery Court uses a company called Affiliated Computer Systems, Inc. that has a website that is PRIVATELY OWNED by a PRIVATE COMPANY but it shows nothing but court records and it has Shelby County Chancery Court all over its site to appear as if its an official court site but if you look at the bottom it is not. However Maury Wessels who is the I.T. Director at the Chancery Court admitted to me that they have PARTNERED with this company.

Furthermore, ALL of the judgement records are for two Memphis organizations. In other words the money that is owed is only owed to two distinct Memphis companies that have managed to partner with the courts to place all of this info ONLINE.

Was Donna L. Russells Campaign FINANCED by these compaigns in an effort to force CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS to pay up. Problem with this is even AFTER a person pays their records stay online on the FRONT PAGE OF GOOGLE FOREVER.

This website even shows every "SINGLE PAYMENT" that is made to the company even AFTER the judgement is filed. 

This is STRANGE. Courts should NEVER partner with PRIVATE COMPANIES who clearly have a CONFLICT OF INTEREST because in this case Affiliated Computer Systems, Inc. is also a DEBT COLLECTOR. WOW.

Chancery Court, in Memphis, TN under the supervision of Donna L. Russell is partnering with a DEBT COLLECTOR. 

WHO IS ONLY PUTTING THE BLACK DEBTORS ONLINE, AND NOT THE WHITE DEBTORS.

Let's see your financial records Ms. Donna L. Russell. Let's see your husbands records and your children's records. You have made the CHOICE to EMBARRASS and HUMILIATE PEOPLE by your actions. Your actions have NOTHING TO DO WITH INCREASING TRANSPARENCY of the court due to the THEFT which took place in YOUR OFFICE. NOTHING!

 WE WEREN"T THE ONES WHO COMMITTED THE THEFT IN YOUR OFFICE. SO WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING US?!

Let's see you display all of your financial dealings ALL OVER THE FRONT PAGE OF GOOGLE! 

SHAME ON YOU MS. DONNA L. RUSSELL! DID THAT DEBT COLLECTOR OR THOSE TWO PRIVATE FIRMS FINANCE YOUR CAMPAIGN? DID THEY PAY YOU OFF? ARE THEY GIVING YOU KICKBACKS? I BET ITS ONE OF THEM.

Is Donna L. Russell Receiving "KICKBACKS" from Affiliated Computer Services 'AKA" XEROX DEBT COLLECTION for allowing Xerox to partner with Chancery Court to place Financial Judgements Online?

AUTHOR: Jeff B. - ()

POSTED: Sunday, January 11, 2015

Well, I've done a little research on Affiliated Computer Services and I have found that the company is now Xerox. It has been since 2012.

Xerox is a DEBT COLLECTOR.

It seems that somewhere it would be a conflict of interest to be a court and partner with a company that has an interest in collecting the debt to help manage court records. 

During the time that the Shelby County Chancery Court, under the direction of Donna L. Russell and Maury Wessels, partnered with ACS (Affiliated Computer Services) it was "already" Xerox. 

The question is ... is any of the debt being HELD and SERVICED by the Xerox Debt Collection Agency - debt Shelby County Chancery Court is allowing Xerox to pull from their court records and feature prominently online in Google Search Results?

It seems fishy that certain judgements are showing up on the first page of Google Search Results under the Individual's name and others are not showing up at all. Not on the second or third page but AT ALL.

Could Xerox be manipulating the Shelby County Chancery Court records to have "certain debt" that is managed by them, or their subsidiary, featured prominently in Google Search results while other debt (that is not being serviced by Xerox Debt Collection) is not showing up at all?

Also, I don't understand how the Shelby County Chancery Court would decide which court records they would feature prominently in Google Search Results and which they would not?  I am pretty certain there are court filings with this court that are not being sent to Google. Why only send financial judgements? Especially when it is run by a company with a 'FINANCIAL INTEREST' in collecting these judgements. 

Donna L. Russell and the Chancery Court I.T. Director Maury Wessels have not done thorough research on this. Or they have and are simply willing participants in a "Kickback scheme".

I think Donna L. Russell's position as Shelby County Tennessee  Chancery Court Clerk and Master is an appointed position. So she is essentially operating above the law. In a way. She can use her office to publicly shame and humiliate the residents of Memphis by placing all of their financial shortcomings online and is immune to any sort of blowback.

Not every court places personal financial judgements on the front page of Google. Especially using the services of a DEBT COLLECTOR/Computer Servicer. This is a CLEAR conflict of Interest. 

CLEAR CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

I reviewed the list and it also appears they place each individual payment that is made "AFTER" the judgement is placed online right up in Google as well. This is very strange and troubling indeed. 

Who do I fault? THE TAXPAYERS and VOTERS of Memphis. There is no purpose for humiliating people in this regard and it serves no function. Let's see everyone's Bankruptcy records and Divorce Records and Foreclosures (which all take place THROUGH THE COURTS) show up on the Front Page of Google when their name is googled. It would be an outcry. It seems that Donna L. Russell and her office have chosen to go after the financially vulnerable. 

Hasn't Affiliated Computer Services (AKA XEROX - which it has been since 2012) been sued by the State of Texas repeatedly in the last few years for negligence, conflict of intenrest and wrong doing? Didn't this company lose all of their Texas contracts? Why would the folks in Tennessee not look into this?

My only conclusion with all of this is that Donna L. Russell is more than likely receiving kickbacks from this agency. She has to be.

The Report Seems Legitimate. Memphis is a very racist city.

Hello S.D.,

Welcome to Ripoff Report. The poster above who rebutted to your report named "Tyg" is a Ripoff Report "TROLL". He harrasses and attacks most people who file online complaints with Ripoff Report. So please overlook his Idiocy. Most likely he is so bitter because he has had a ripoff report filed about him. So now its his (or her) mission to exact revenge by trolling Ripoff Report day and night. 

And Tyg.. You should have given a disclaimer that you are not a lawyer. Not even close. I have read this report and nothing in it rises to defamation or libel. NOTHING. The report seems legitimate. The poster stated that the 'white names' in the report don't show up. The poster appears to be referring to financial 'judgements' and not CRIME Tyg. Boy you sure are an idiot. You are the last person to call anyone an idiot.

However, S.D. I would like to thank you for filing this report. Hopefully this matter will be investigated to the fullest. I have never understood why courts put judgements and personal financial matters online. It is salacious and bound to humiliate a person. If the court was attempting to be transparent due to embezzelment this is not the correct way. 

Good Luck S.D.

And may I suggest you get the heck out of Memphis. Memphis is nothing but a dirty, redneck, backwoods, little Klansmen haven. Even the black "elite" in Memphis are in cahoot with the KKK there. They all work to oppress the larger black society because they both make money from the oppression. Wages stay rock bottom low, competition stays OUT (because they make sure they keep it out) and they recieve KICKBACKS from the corporations that are there and who are benefiting from all the low cost labor.

 Your ignorance is astounding!!!!! Its OBVIOUS that YOU have NO IDEA how a search engine works. See you don't "sell" to get your information on the top page of google. Its based on the TIME INDEX of the information and its click relevance. What this means is that each time Mr. X Doe is Googled, ALL relevant information is presented. Including the NEWEST posting for that individual. So not only have you wrongfully blasted a public official due to YOUR ignorance, YOU have painted a nice fat target on yourself. What YOU have done is ILLEGAL!!! Your first amendment rights DO NOT superceed another citizens rights!! YOU seem to have forgotten this little civics lesson from high school. So YOU have defamed someone and FALSLY accused them for something they have ZERO control over. I wont even address the FACT that Memphis is a predominatly african American community. I wont even go into the FACT that a majority of the crimes commited are by minorities. These are all statistics easily available online. I don't need to prove what every law enforcement agency has already proven. I will warn you though. THIS SITE is NOT FaceBook!!!! This site NEVER removes a post. This site also tells you to be honest. So not only have you defamed and accused, but YOUR RANT is nothing but a pack of lies based on YOUR IGNORANCE!!!!! I would suggest that in the future you EDUCATE yourself. They probably put up on the COUNTY website the information YOU are whining about and a search engine pulled it up as the NEWEST bit of information out on the web. Its NOTHING more then that. I also warn YOU that this ignorance on HOW the web works may end up costing you MORE in the future. See EVERYTHING you do online is logged somewhere. YOU are NOT smart enough to understand a search engine so YOU wouldn't be smart enough to cover your tracks online. What this means for YOU is that if this person YOU have defamed chooses to, THEY can get a court order and THEY will have all the proof they need to take you to court. Remember, EVERYTHING you do online is logged. Every site YOU have visited, EVERY email you have sent, ALL of its logged somewhere. So YOU have defamed someone who has access to JUDGES!!! Judges who probably are friends with this person and would help them to punish someone. Because YOU have written this, YOU are in danger of a civil suit. If I were YOU, I would write a little rebuttal explaining that your previous post is YOUR OPINION!!!!! Then in the future, keep the defamation to a minimum!!! Just because you have the RIGHT to say or do something, doesn't mean that its RIGHT to do so. Freedom is NOT free. It has a HEAVY cost and sometimes your own foolishness can cost you the most.
