This company makes it so hard to make a payment over phone and online. I think you want customers to get behind so you can collect all. This is something I go though every month

User's recommendation: Make it easier to pay our monthly required payment

So you think you can make up your own rules.....

AI Highlights
  • - A lawsuit appears on the credit report; civil procedure rules not followed.
  • - User disputes charges and has requested documents by court order.

The do not fallow the rules of civil procedures. I never knew anything about a lawsuit till I went to buy a House and they were on my credit report.

So I went to circuit clerk and found this lawsuit. I am now in the process of disputing everything and have requested them to produce documents in a court order and they will not respond.

I am going to have them held in contempt of court. They will deal with me because I NEVER had the credit card they are suing me for....

Reason of review:
Bad quality

Wage Garnishment - NO NOTICE

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Wage garnishment filed without prior notice.
  • - I sent a payment plan proposal; no response.
  • - Did not receive garnishment notice; BBB complaint filed.

This law office filed to garnish my wages without notifying me first. I got a small claims summons for old debt 8/16/18.

I owe it, I will pay it. Sent back all paperwork to the court 8/18/18. Confirmed the court got the documents 8/28/18. Court advised I send a copy to the law office and let them know what I can pay so we can start a payment plan.

Sent a copy to this law office along with a letter stating what I can pay and asked them if that was satisfactory and to please let me know. Gave all my contact info. Asked for a response. Waited to hear back but instead I got a notice of wage garnishment on 10/9/18.

I prefer to communicate with them in writing and I NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING. No notice was given to me that this would happen and I thought I did everything correctly. I called the law office to see why this happened on 10/9/18, they claimed they never received anything from me and that I supposedly had a no contact order on my account and basically told me too bad. The woman on the phone didn't even bother trying to help me or look for anything and was extremely rude.

If I even had the no contact order, it would've been for phone calls NOT letters! I got no notice that my wages would be garnished. They could've sent me a certified letter or SOMETHING. I thought that I did everything I was supposed to do and now this has happened and it's not right for them to do this without notifying me.

I want to pay this and I have never run from my old college debt. I was very young and very stupid in college but now I'm finally getting my life in order and something like this happens. This law office even has one of my other accounts and I've been fully cooperative and paying all along. They know me and know that I pay my bills.

My credit score is 700. I am not a bad person or a criminal, I just had old college debt. All I was asking for was a payment plan and now they're taking it from me against my will. I don't make enough money for this to happen and I am on a very tight budget.

They are trying to ruin my life.

I have filed a complaint with the BBB and I'm not stopping there. AVOID THESE PEOPLE AT ALL COSTS.

Reason of review:
Poor customer service

Preferred solution: I want a payment plan, NOT A WAGE GARNISHMENT!

Bottom Feeding Lawyers and fraud

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Questions if clerks profit from lawyers.
  • - Notices go to old addresses and are returned.
  • - Alabama allows wage garnishment; NC does not.

In Alabama I wonder if the clerks get a cut from these lawyers for committing what could be fraud? They have to notify you of court proceedings against you, yet they find an old address.

Then what they mail is sent back to the court. Yet, the court and these bottom feeders keep using the wrong address and the person is never even aware they are being taken to court! They keep going and get what they want and the person is not aware until a part of their paycheck is missing. Alabama is a state that will garnish wages but NC does not allow it.

You must find out what they paid for your debt. Report bully judges. Report these bottom feeders and possible clerks to the AL judicial system. Go back to court and demand your day in court as you were never noticed.

Alabama lets these bottom feeders thrive.

SHAME ON ALABAMA. Leave the state!

Integrity

AI Highlights
  • - They called an attorney to set up a $13,000 debt payment plan.
  • - The debt increased from $13,000 to $18,000 in two months despite payments.

I called attorney to set up payment arrangements for $13,000.00 debt. I told him the amount we could pay every month.

He wasn't satisfied with the amount I suggested. However, we have still been paying for the debt, for this to go from 13,000.00 to 18,000.00 in 2 months. WTF!!!! We are a family of 6 and self-employed drywall and paint company.

We do not live high off the hog by no means, and my husband works his *** off to provide for his 4 children.. So, I suppose this is justice now? The attorney and the vultures they're working for are consciously doing the right thing? Where is the integrity?..

Paying a debt that is owed is never any question for us, however, we can only do the best we can do and have faith that our God will rectify this situation. We will continue to do the right thing and have a great attitude all the while. Peace and Love.

May God bless you.

Sincerely,

Always a woman of Integrity

Zarzaur & Schwartz, Ripping off Consumers

AI Highlights
  • - Dunning letters from Zarzaur & Schwartz claim Citi debt; I requested validation.
  • - Lawsuit filed; I answered; November judgment denied appeal.

Back in May, I received a dunning letter from Zarzaur & Schwartz, PC advising that I owe Citibank, South Dakota, NA. I responded to the letter via certified mail requesting validation of this account in question. I received another dunning letter (which is the same letter from before)from the attorney in question and I mailed another ceritified letter requesting validation. Then I received a letter threatening to sue stating the courthouse information and everything, looking as if they have already filed a lawsuit. I mailed another certified copy of a letter requesting validation. I never received any responses from Zarzaur & Schwartz, PC. In July, a deputy knocks on my door and issues me a lawsuit paper stating that I had thirty days to respond. I responded back to the court. Everything I requested the Judge Smith denied, but I had to answer this lawyers questions. I never once not answered any requests made by this lawyer. Then In November, I received a Judgment summary on their behald stating that I never responded to a claim. I called the courthouse and the court clerk advised me that they have received all responses along with my objection for a summary judgment and advised me to file an appeal. I did so and was denied. I filed several other motions and nothing was answered. When I received a Garnishment letter from the deputy, I notified the court Clerk and she advised me that I received a letter requesting to appear in court on November 15, where the Judgment was ordered. I advised her I never received a letter and she advised me that she was in court and that I was to appear and this was the reason a Judgment was awarded to the complaintant. I was furious because I know I never received any summons. So the next day after thinking about the whole ordeal, I called from my place of employment where everything is recorded and I requested the name of the person who mailed a copy of the court summons. I was transfered to several different court clerks and neither knew anything about a summons, advising me that there was nothing mentioned.

They also advised me to talk back to Judge Smith's clerk. I contacted her again and she gave me the name of a court clerk that I had already spoken with and when I advised her that he had no knowledge she advised me to file another motion and it was denied. I appeared in court on March 7 for my claim of exemptions that I filed a UCC Financing Statement with the Secretary of State along with a Security Agreement and Hold Harmless Indemnity papers with the county recorders office and was bullied by the Judge advising me that it had no merit in his court. These people are attempting to take personal property from me and a UCC Financing Statement and Security Agreement has no weight but told me in court that the Financing Statement is there to protect my personal property, I was so angry, and now I am notified by my title company that there is a judgment against my property where I was never notified about it. The whole legal system is a sham and this law firm I knew was a fraud. I would love to be in contact with other victims of this particular law firm to file a class action lawsuit against them because they violated the law by not confirming the debt set by law.

I want Justice!

This is what is happening to me now. They are garnishing my wages for debet I didn't make....

And it's well over 10 years... so yes I ready to file suite

Guest

Hello, I just received a similar letter from these people stating I owe 12,000 for a citi Cards. I don't remember ever even having an account with them til just recently. I will keep on top of this.

Hope everything works out for you.

Guest

They had me sign a payment agreement I sent my payments on time and they still garnished my wages and froze my accounts leaving me no way to feed my kids. They are nothing but a bunch of heartless crooks.

Guest

Go to the Alabama State Bar

Guest

They've done the same to me. We settled a claim and then they garnished my wages.

I've told them it's settled, showed them papers, etc. but they're unethical and ***!

Guest

Wow this is bad my husband is now being sued by Zarzar and Schwartz it's awful how they try and double bill but I am not gonna sit back and let them win

Guest

I'm having the same issues with Z&S, I've paid them in April and am being garnished for the same account twice!! They have no records of the cashiers check or deposit made to there account of 26k !!!

So trying to resolve this issue with them is like pulling teeth!! And to top it off, the staff there is a bunch of ignorant ladies; probably have a minimum of a sixth grade education and likely fat with abusing babydaddies!!! Hire some professionals please!!!! My four year old has more manners than these ladies!!

And so now I have to provide them proof that they had been paid off in April!!!! Given that everyone has computers these days they couldn't retrieve any records!! Is Alabama in the dark ages or the ladies working there too dumb to operate computers??

This is ridiculous and a sham!!! This law firm needs to be investigated!!

I made arrangements to pay a Providia credit card debt through Zarzaur and Schwartz. Every month I noticed the entire payment was not being deducted from the amount I was instructed to pay.

I wrote several letters and called numerous times and never received an answer why. I made a complaint with the ABA and they said they do not investigate law firms; only individuals. Well, I just paid out the amount and forgot about it. A few months later they said I owed more money so I didn't respond.

They went into my account and took out nearly one thousand dollars with no explanation. That was 8 years ago. A few days ago, they took over 1,300 from my account for a judgment from 8 years ago. Today, I received a card in my door saying I have legal papers at the court house.

I spoke with an accounts rep at Zarzaur and Schwartz who noted the original amount but she couldn't tell me why I still owed them any money. However, she did tell me the interest on this account was over 19%.

If they had answered my questions the first time and given me the entire amount including the interest, I would be out from under this. I think they are using this as a cash cow but it's going to stop one way or another.
