Shady Law Firm
I stated in a previous post how a male friend of mine screwed me on my money. He basically stopped calling me after he couldn’t come up with the money so I hired a private collector. I decided to do some checking on my own and after checking the state court case system online, I saw he was getting sued and his home about to go into foreclosure. I saw an entry of Bankruptcy and the collector said that all collection actions have to cease now. I found out he filed a Chapter 13 (which is a repayment plan, not total liquidation) so I got a lawyer of my own so I could file a claim against him for the amount I was owed. I could have had his case thrown out due to fraud but that’s another story….
All of my payments are made by check from the Trustee’s office. They normally send these checks to my law firm. I received a small check at the end of April but the balance left that the Trustee had on the document was about $800 less than what I had actually received. The law firm sent me the small check so I called them about the larger one that was missing. They stated that they didn’t recognize the name on the check so they just deposited it into their accout. WTF is that about? That check was dated in November 2008, and the small check April 2009. Are they that disorganized or were they hoping I didn’t catch the mistake? Either way, the firm cut me a check from their account for the missing amount.
Fast forward to today…. I recieved two more checks and this time the balance the Trustee has is $290 less than what I’ve received. Somewhere between April and July there is a check missing. The law firm is just holding my shit and hoping I don’t catch it. I just sent a fax today so hopefully they get it straight. I’m quick to call someone out on fraud. Once is an accident, twice is a problen. What about watching out for the little people?
