Frederick J. Hanna and Associates is the most corrupt companies that I have ever dealt with.
I am currently on a payment plan, paying $364.19 per month for 6 months. I have been paying consistently since August. This month, however, I fell into some hardships w/ my automobile and could not make the payments. The date the check was to be taken was on 12/21/2007. I contacted Frederick J. Hanna and spoke to an associate (I will keep him anonymous, but I know his info) on 12/17/2007. I asked to skip the December payment and have it be deducted in February. The man said that I needed to call him back after "thinking about it" for 24 hours. I contacted him again on 12/18/2007 and assured him not to take the amount from my account. He assured me that he had put a stop to the check.
On Wednesday, 12/26/2007, I went to make a purchase and was denied. I came back to the office and looked up my account online. It had been over-drawn be -950.00. The check for $364.19 had cleared and had caused me to over-draft my account due to the $595.00 the bank charged for insufficient funds.
I contacted Frederick J. Hanna yesterday (12/26). I spoke to the "Operations Manager" he looked up my account and told me that he did see where the original associate noted for the check to be deleted and not deducted until February. I was then told to call back in the afternoon after the Ops Manager could speak with the original associate. However, when I called back when I was told, no answer. I then tried to call back 5 or 6 times before I reached an associate. This new associate told me that he needed to see a bank statement from my bank. It could not be printed off of the internet, it had to be official from the bank. I went to the bank and spoke to the Branch Manager. I explained to her my situation and she said that Frederick J. Hanna was responsible for replacing the complete amount back into my account (950.00). I then sent the bank statement back to Frederick J. Hanna. I received a phone call from the associate and he stated that they would return the money (couldn't tell me when it would be replaced), but then, I'd owe $850.00 within 24 hours. They said that b/c the charges on my statement were not "automobile" repairs, that I owe them this money. The associate then told me that I shouldn't have been out buying Fossil Watches and going out to eat at Topekas. I tried to reply, he hung up on me. I then called them back to find out when they were going to return my money to me and they said they needed to "investigate" the situation.
I understand that I do owe this debt and I have been paying on time and fully amounts, except for this one time. I don't believe that they are in ANY hurry to return the money that they rightfully owe to me. Can anyone help me please with this situation?

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.

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):

RE: Request for Validation of Debt, 15 U.S.C. 1692g
Dear Sir or Madam:
This is my formal notice that I am disputing this debt, and requesting immediate validation under Section 809 of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. 1692g, of the debt from your office. I am requesting that your office immediately send me a copy of the following documents: (a) the name, address, and phone number of an employee of the original creditor that can validate the debt, (b) proof of who is the current legal owner of the debt, and that you represent the original creditor or debt buyer, and (c) the original signed note, contract, credit agreement, or instrument creating the debt.
I am disputing this debt for the following reasons: this debt has not been validated. I do not know whether your debt collection company is the legal owner of this debt or not, or if the amounts charged are valid.
This is also my formal notice under 15 U.S.C. 1692c, to you to cease all further communications with me, my family members, and my associates and all third parties, unless I give you express permission to do so. You have my express permission to mail me the requested validation documents to the address listed below, but I do not give you permission to contact me over the phone, or in any other way except as specifically addressed in this letter.
This letter is not meant in any way to be an acknowledgment that I owe this money.
Sincerely,
John Doe
