Forster & Garbus CONTACT EVERYONE... INCLUDING LOCAL GOV'T Farmingdale New York

Among the violations potentially committed by F & G:
If you notified them the debt is disputed or not yours, collections must cease. Statutory damages each time they violate (you need a FCDPA attorney)
Second: A subpoena is the usual way they put a lien on your bank account.
In order to overturn your default judgment, you will need to show 2 things:
A good reason why you didn't answer the summons & complaint and 2. a defense that shows you don't owe what they claim.

Hi Lisa in Eastport. I'm Marty in NJ but I get to LI every summer. (Come to Johnny b's open mic on tuesdays at the brickhouse in Patchogue!)
It sounds like you have a cause for action (lawsuit)
There is a one year federal statute of limitations, so act now!
Federal law provides for damages of $1,000 & $2500 FOR EACH VIOLATION. The law allows for reasonable attorney fee's on top of the damages. This means you can often find an attorney to handle the matter with no payment up-front
The statute of limitations clock for LVNV's cause of action begins at the date of first missed payment. WARNING! making a small payment can reset the clock! Do not make any payment or admission!
See my post on LVNV this date for advice from an attorney familiar with LVNV...

I am so sorry for not knowing the law. And for even posting my complaint I guess you told me! Thanks to your educated and highly intelligent advice. I now know... YOU DO.. in fact work for a legit and might I add PROFESSIONAL law firm. (This based upon your eloquent rebuttals!)

Since you've put me in my place...I am no longer going to complain. This shall be the last time I write anything negative about your HIGHLY ETHICAL Law Firm. Shame on me.

Although I must say, I find it interesting that you have only responded to my complaints . Why is that? Is it because I told someone in your office where I have filed the complaint? So I guess you... probably the least important one in your office, takes the actual time to read all these complaints. And respond. You must be real busy.

No really, why is it though, do you only respond to my complaints? clearly other people have complained on this website about this company. Yet you do not attack them? Do I threaten you? If so why? Why is my complaint such a sore subject when just recently, someone else added to the mix stating the same complaint? I suppose you will educate them next with your knowledge!

Oh well I guess only time will tell. We'll leave it up to fate. I will miss you Paki. I wish you all the best in what Clearly seems to be a successful profession for you. And once again Thank you for the education and Sorry for stating, as you would say, "The Untruth."

i cant wait to tell everyone in my office this report i am going to print it out and show everyone lmao! so f&g is not legit huh....pleasseeee im begging you to stop making a fool of yourself, just stop it..

again ...it is not illegal as you claim to hold double the judgement of the bill, the banks hold double the amount ( ex: if you owe 2k, then 4k is being held ) in case there is no contact wth the consumer, and months go by the banks are holding the right amount due to interest , does not mean you owe it or have to pay double.....
and i cant believe you said you contacted the f.b.i. , wow that was a good one though really i need a good laugh

and again...do your RESEARCH!! ronald forster and mark garbus are legit attorneys and i work for a legit attorneys office, how ridiculous are you to believe a fake attorneys office can do this??? my my you are extremely pathetic
NICE TRY THO!

p.s. if you really had " attorney friends " they would have advsd you to go to court to dispute this matter, not call the f.b.i. lmao!!

Since my last complaint, I have been very diligent in getting these monsters. So here is what I have found and done. I suggest to all of those people who are prey for Forster & Garbus heed my warning.

Upon hours and days of research I found that Forster & Garbus is not listed as a law firm under any of the websites both government officials and lawyer friends of mine had recommended me go to to see if they are legit. Mark Garbus is, but the company isn't. I tried contacting Mark myself but he still has yet to return my call. Nor do I expect him to.

Since this has happened I have called, emailed and wrote the following agencies;
FBI, Secret Service, IRS, Social security, ALL LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, as well all the courts in my area. And filed formal complaints with all the contacts and companies that had been involved.

As I have been doing my research on this company I have found complaints made by other people claiming their bank accounts were being restrained without being told or served properly.

This made me nervous. So I contacted our bank and removed my husbands name from the account. These people are so quick that within the time we had done this they had contacted a bank we once had an account with and tried to restrain that account. Jokes was on them they got nothing.

However...That bank forwards on what clearly appears to be a sham of a subpoena
No court listed as to where my husband needs to appear and no date when he needs to appear. No raised seal either. It's amazing to me that a red flag did not go up for the operations manager at Suffolk Count National Bank when she received this fake Subpoena. And actually proceed to send me the photocopied subpoena via mail.

I later log back on to my existing bank account only to find $8,149.80
is being restrained through the joint account we HAD. Double the amount of the amount of money foster & garbus claimed we owed them. Completely illegal.
Well I guess contacting all the people I did had helped. Because later that day. The restraining notice was mysteriously lifted. Go figure.

It's still not over. Last night I get a phone call from (877)288-9426. I call the company back the voicemail says Tax refund financial services. I get this guy who tells me They are LVNV Funding and they are no longer handling the account. HMMM Why? Gee how come now they suddenly no longer handle the account.

Again I called the company this morning 4/19/08 and get a very helpful informative gentlemen. I informed him of the situation and he was outraged. He then told me that they were NOT allowed to do what they did. And told me that according to his records we do not owe the 4,069.90 Forster & Garbus is claiming we owed. He saw a 1000.00. Yet still no receipts or proof.

He then gave me a number for a company that is now handling it. Resurgents Capital service. Which brings me back full circle. One company down 3 more to go. Of course it is the weekend so I can not get in touch with them. But I will Monday.

So for all of you who are victims of this very same scheme and company, Get everything in writing. Ask for receipts or bills if they can't Prove it, You DO NOT owe it. And if they still harass you contact your Govenor, District attorney consumer affairs the police the FBI and secret service, this is a FEDERAL Crime.
Which you can Thank our ever so Honest President for. They wanted to impeach Clinton for harmless reasons yet impeach has never been an issue with Bush. Amazing!

Oh and Paki (The Employee Insider) I look forward to your next rebuttal with great anticipation.

Hope this helps.

tsk tsk....no lisa sorry to break it to you, there are a few things you have wrong but i will save the embarrassment and state only one........you said the guy you spoke with disclosed information to you which , according to you , " new york state law " does not allow......get some education before you go off blasting the untruth ..new york state law allows for information to be disclosed to the spouse you ARE NOT a third party aww its so cute how you think you know what you are talking about....and f.y.i. us collectors do work more than one client and we do not have every single tid bit of information on every consumer,, who has room for that???!! we carry immediate details like account open date etc. and the break down of everything else the debt buyer holds

They don't even know how to spell FDCPA much less understand what it's about. Send these morons a letter demanding they validate the debt or get lost. You need the proper documetnation in writing to move forward. Also contact the NY Bar against these bottom feeding ambulance chasers. Pul idiots like Employee Insider in the unemployment line.

Unfortunately...PAKI You, like your other co-workers are highly uneducated. My facts are straight. I am fully aware of the NY State laws and have MANY lawyer friends. But just to put you on the same page as your co workers, and to any one else who has fallen victim to this unlawful means of business practice. I have contacted my local POLICE Dept as well as the Atty. Generals Office, Dept of consumer affairs and BBB and they all have the same answer. YOU people need to provide us with receipts and or bills showing where we have incurred these charges. And upon Calling the following, Sears, LVNV Funding, Sherman Aquisitions and Resurgents Services no one has these bills or receipts available.
So Paki, If this were to go to court answer me this. What evidence would your company use against us in a court of law.
And if in fact you do work for the company....Perhaps you should take a course on how to act professional and not like some immature idiot.

These are all the companies affiliated with Forster & Garbus. Beware of these companies. Ask them people when you contact them or they you, FOR RECEIPTS!!!

Upon further investigation today, 4/8/09 I find there is now a third company involved. Resergants Capital Social. Why is one debt collector affiliated with three different companies?

So now having all these numbers. I called each and everyone of these agencies today. And asked all them for receipts or bills that prove my husband owes this money. Each company said they could not provide. I even went back to Sears and they pointed the finger to this new company resergants capital social.

I then made full circle back to Forster & Garbus. Asking for the same gentleman I had spoken to previously. I asked him for the receipts and he too, can not provide me with these items.

I then asked him, if this "judgment that has been sent to court for entry in the above matter," What kind of evidence would you provide to the judge against me, if you can not provide me with a simple bill or receipt of where we had incurred these charges?

He was basically tongue tied. I then proceeded to tell him that since he was so uneducated at what his job entailed can I then speak to his Boss? He put his boss on the phone who was another idiot.

First the guy asks me for my husbands ss#. I refuse, I then tell him we will use the account #. He punched it into his computer and says he has no record of that account. Real professional that a Boss & an employee are not on the same page.
he then asks me for my husbands name. After that I didn't let him even finish. I basically got my answer. SCAM

In addition to this my local police came by to file a complaint so that it is on the record. He had said That I can contact the Nassau & Suffolk County courts to see if a judgment is made. He said odds are they have no records seeing these companies can't even provide receipts or bills to me. But that I am doing the right thing.
Until next update.
