Alan M Laskin - Sacramento CASH - Collect America, Natasha N Langfeld - Jason A. Ewing Bottom Feeder Attorney in Sacramento Calif Natasha N Langenfeld, collecting money for CASH, Collect America Sacramento California

These allegations are baseless and border on defamation.

First, the correct parts of this post are: Mr. Laskin's office is in Sacramento. Mr. Laskin's office was formerly affiliated with a debt collection company. Ms. Langenfeld and myself (Jason Ewing) were associates of Mr. Laskin.

What John in Penryn, CA neglected to mention was that he failed to pay his debt to a credit card company. Yes this company sold the debt and probably wrote of the loss. This is all legal and there is nothing underhanded or shady about this practice. However, this does not relieve John from his obligation to pay his debts.

As for the juvenile statements made by John in his original post I would hope that most people would see them for what they are and then disregard. I was with Ms. Langenfeld that day in court to offer assitance and help facilitate negotiations with John. Ms. Langenfeld was very professional, as was I, in our conversations with John. I must add that I do recall John also being honest and forthright in our discussions.

It is disturbing that John now has this forum to make such comments because he is unhappy about being required to pay his debts. His comments do not constitute an unveiling of an unscrupulous company and his experience of being ripped off, rather they are merely defamatory statements made by an upset individual.

Mr. Laskin, Ms. Langenfeld and myself are all upstanding members of the California State Bar and even after numerous requests by all of us this site refuses to remove this post.

I had perfect credit.  I never was late and paid off all my debt.  I took pride in having perfect credit.  I am only 26 years old and decided to go back to school.  I had to apply for a student loan.  When the bank pulled my credit it showed this attorneys office as well as Cash LLC and Collect America.  It made my stomach sick.  I have been trying for a week now to figure out a way to get a hold of them.  At least 6 disconnected phone numbers and one line that just rang and rang.

I finally was able to get a hold of the attorneys office today.  They informed me that there is nothing I can do to get this resolved.  I have already filled a police report and contacted all three bureaus.  Is there any thing else I can do?  I need to get approved for my student loan ASAP.  Any Ideas?

To this individual who said the poster's insults were wrong, shouldn't they look in the mirror about throwing insults around? Calling a person a deadbeat is just as bad as far as insults. Quick...grab the closest mirror near you! lol

To clear things up, it has been my experience that those who post on here about people being dead beats, etc. are nothing more than collectors. Yes, I consider collectors the lowest form of life, but hey...I'll throw the insults around where the belong and I DON'T claim to be all high and mighty like some.

Just because a person falls behind on their bills or can't pay them, doesn't mean they are a bad person or deserve to be called anything. Yes, a company can charge off an item, but they can still collect on it over time. Working with the creditor, even in small payments, is the right way to go about it. However, when they have a junk debt purchaser, such as Collect America, a business that makes its millions off the downtrodden and those who fall on hard times, buy these charge offs for pennies on the dollar, and then try to collect for the full amount plus extra fees and interest...that's when people need to fight back. The collector is NOT the creditor, no one should ever work with a collection agency EVER, and under NO circumstances should a person EVER pay a dime to ANY collector.

What they should do is go to budhibbs.com and get some research on Collect America or any other collection agency, and use the free useful and helpful information on there about dealing with such scoundrels.

The next thing someone should do who is being harassed by this company, is to send them a cease and desist all communication letter, via certified mail. A prime example of this is located at budhibbs.com

I have my own I use, and here is the one I came up with that has been quite effective. Feel free to use it anyone.

Date



(Name of collector)
(Their address)

RE: (Their account number and original creditor if known)

This certified letter shall serve as your formal CEASE AND DESIST ALL COMMUNICATION with me in ANY fashion. Violation of this order will result in various legal/criminal penalties being filed against your company and/or employee who violates this order. This order is sent under the laws of protection afforded me under the FDCPA, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act of Congress.

I do not wish to work with a collection agency in any capacity and will discuss this matter only with the creditor.

Give this order the attention it deserves and govern yourselves accordingly.


Very truly yours,


(Sign your name)

(Type your name)

Believe me, this letter works and is very legal. Should the collector fail to follow the letter, they are in for a world of serious legal and or criminal consequences.

Finally, keep a note of every detail, conversation, letter, etc. from these scoundrels.

Good luck! Fight the good figh!

The person who posted is obviously a deadbeat debtor looking for any excuse to get out of paying a debt he owes. He makes his allegations on a web site intended to help others avoid rip-offs. The only rip-off is that he didn's pay his bills. If anything people should do a rip off report on him for incurring debt and not paying the money back- that is theft in my book.

As for the write off on the debt- of course the original creditor writes it off. They lost the money. A write off is not the same as getting the money. That is like saying that I will take $1000 out of your pocket, but that is ok because you can write it off. If that is ok, then let me come over and take the $1000.

As for the personal insults to the attorney-clearly you lack true material facts to raise and have resorted to personal attacks to fill that void.
