I received a letter at the beginning of February that I needed to immediately call this company to discuss an account I had with chase. At the time I paid it no attention as I was enrolled with a settlement company and I had been paying on it for 3 months previously. I contact the company who I am using to settle my debt and they asked me to fax them the information and they would take care of it.

Since then I have received to message from my parents (whom I have not lived with in 7 years) saying that they keep getting a call from these people telling them I need to call them ASAP and giving me a phone number and an extension to call.

I finally decided to call them to inform them of my settlement that I am undertaking and redirecting their calls to this company...funny thing, I can NOT get ahold of them. I have called the number that they give and an automated voice states that this is their office and to wait for the next available representative.

Funny, no place to put in an extension like they asked, also after they say wait for representative, the line goes dead. You don't hear anything, no ringing, nothing just silence. I have waited on the line for upwards to 20 minutes before I hang up...I got better things to do then wait on the phone ALL day for this company to answer a call they asked me to return.

My settlement company is sending them letter of attorney and I hope this will cause all calls to cease. I'm really Starting to get irritated.

More Info. vs. Hanna

AUTHOR: HannaH8R - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, April 21, 2011

It looks like Rip Off Report redacted my links on how to fight debt collector lawsuits for Hanna and Zwicker, and for help blogs.  For help with the lawsuits you can do a Google search for a book and website by Allen Harkleroad titled Stick it to sue happy debt collectors.  The help blog I linked is Next Level Unlimited Credit.  I do not have any stake in any of these sites, I am just posting to try to help other consumers.  I do understand why Rip Off Report redacts links however.

Info. vs. Hanna

AUTHOR: HannaH8R - (USA)

POSTED: Tuesday, March 08, 2011

The Georgia Supreme Court says Hanna is a "law firm," so you have to submit a bar complaint vs. them (and not a consumer complaint with the state OCA or federal FCC -- but fine if you do that too anyway).  You may submit a bar complaint vs. Fred Hanna (the owner of the "firm") and any atty. that may have contacted you that also violated bar rules for atty.s:

(Call and ask for a bar complaint, and if they have them online):

State Bar of Georgia
www.gabar.org
104 Marietta St. NW, Suite 100
Atlanta, Georgia 30303
(404) 527-8700
(800) 334-6865
FAX: (404) 527-8717

Debt Settlement Companies and Consumer Credit Counseling Services have about as much power as a spitwad for preventing Hanna from suing you. Jeff, your debt settlement company is not licensed attorneys. They will not impede Hanna's efforts in collecting or suing on this account. If anything, your thinking that they can help prevent Hanna from suing you will make you an even bigger target as it shows Hanna you really are uninformed. Their dunning letter was received early this month from what you wrote. You have 30 days to dispute and demand validation so it sounds like your 30 day window of FDCPA protection closes sometime next week. Send a demand for validation letter and overnight mail it to their physical address from UPS tomorrow.Spend the extra money at UPS, trust me. Make sure it's certified mail return receipt requested in addition to being overnighted.Never admit or acknowledge any alleged debt at Hanna. Type this letter verbatim and send it out tomorrow.

I am disputing the validity of your claim concerning the alleged Chase account for x amount of dollars. I trust that this request for validation will be honored in full compliance with the FDCPA (section 809).

____________

That is it. Keep it short and sweet. Drop this worthless settlement company NOW! Stay off the phone too. Sounds like you did some damage by acknowledging the Chase debt by telling Hanna you are with a worthless settlement company. Just send the validation letter as I instructed. Hanna cannot proceed with collecting the debt until they successfully validate if they receive your validation letter before the 30 day window closes. Consider getting a REAL ATTORNEY if and when the successfully validate. Good luck!
