Eltman Eltman &Cooper I am aw struck on how this firm is such scammers! New York New York

I'm in aw on how eltman, eltman &cooper are such scammers, and feel a bit relieved that 'm not the only one who has experienced their scam.  I really thought I was going crazy.

i was doing some online banking on Saturday, 10/26/2013, when I found out that there was a bank hold on both my checking or savings accounts.  Initially I thought there was maybe something wrong with a direct deposit or ach, so I didn't think anything of it. A few days later, on 10/29, I attempted to take money out using a local Bank of America branch ATM so I could pay my rent when I realized there was really a huge problem.

i went into the bank on wednesday, 10/30/2013 to obtain more information regarding the hold, when the teller told me the hold was because of a garnishment filed. She was able to provide me of the name "NYS Customer Call" and their phone numer of (212)660-3100.  As soon as I returned home after the bank, I called the phone number, and to my surprise it was a law firm trying to collect a debt.

the man I spoke to said that the garnishment was for a chase visa card that was used from 1997-1999 and that the last time anyone tried contacting them for payment arrangements was in 2000.  He was able to confirm the address and that there was a co-applicant in the account, which happens to be my husband at that time.

i tried to explain to the man I was on the phone with that I never had a chase visa account, and I felt I was a victim of identity theft. But he didn't want to hear what I was trying to explain. All he wanted to know was that it was in my name, and that i was responsible for the monies due.  It started as a $9400 balance on the account, which is now up to over $20,000 dues to the law firm.  but I refused to make any payment arrangements with him over the phone since he could not provide any additional information on the account, like when the account was opened and the usage on the account, etc.  but he was quick to want to know which bank had the garnishments so he can find out the amount of what is being held from my accounts.  He promised to call me back by the next day (which I still haven't heard back from them).

in the meantime, before I found this website and saw many other victims bein scammed by the same law form, I was really starting to think my ex-husband of 14 years illegally opened an account in my name and used it without pating it back.  I was fuming and wondering how I was going to get the money to pay my rent.

so, I filed an online complaint with the consumer financial prtotection bureau that same night, mentioning the above mentioned conversation with the law firm, and that I believe that I was a victim of identity theft.  The very next day, I receive a surprising call from the VP of chase card services.  He did a preliminary search, and cannot find any information showing I ever has a chase visa account, and he does not believe I owe any money.  He is doing a further search, and hopefully would have some answers by monday afternoon. 

as I'm waiting on a call back from chase card services, I learn that other people have been a victim of eltmab eltman and cooper.  Their illegal actions and practices is a disgrace and they should be barred from practicing any sort of law.  My mission....  Get my money back and help in any way possible to bring them down!
