Above mentioned pretend to be lawyers. Used another firm to levy my account and get a court order, that I wasn't notified about., and are holding my SS check. Original bill was $800.Amount on levy $4200.00. I have found that they have violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. They are functioning illegal. I have Faxed all my information.They do not return phone calls. Having illegally seized my account, I cant pay my Gas and Electric,or other bills that I pay from my $584.00 SS check.

They are shown on the internet for several violations, class action suits, and their scam type, illegal actions.

Why don't you change the direct deposit bank account your SS check goes into? Also, I would address any 'illegal' levy of you bank account with the bank, since they saw the levy papers and abided by them.

The bank states that they cannot get involved, that you have to address the issue with the attorneys that froze the account. I had this happen to me yesterday. They froze my account for an 8000 dollar reposession from 2005 and without so much as one piece of paperwork other than right after the vehicle was sold at an action, I have no funds. I also had social security in my account and have no money. I have no choice but to see legal action and have an appt coming up. This office of Cohen and Slamowitz hung the phone up on me 2 times after they get done belittling you about how you should just pay up the debt and then this wouldn't have happened. They also have a freeze on it for over 19,000 dollars, not the 8 that is owed to the original creditor that is 3 years old. There has got to be something that can be done with this company. I called around and I have no judgements against me so how can they freeze my account?

Jay Jensen,

I have had the same matter happen to me by Cohen & Slamowitz, they seized my bank account and demanded I fax my pay stub to set up a payment plan. I am currently paying them on a monthly basis because they stated if I don't pay the balance debt off, about $ 1,200.00, my paycheck will be garnished. Any advise.

Oh my God...Jay, please get them out of your bank account NOWWWWWWWWWWWW. I am not a lawyer, just slowly becoming one by proxy of my research...but I am a very injured party of this deceptive uggg practice there are no words...please email me if you'd like to talk more. But get them out of your bank account...its like letting your enemy hold your breathing tube.

And BTW...I know that alot of people have been hurt by this firm and have fought alone...I am fighting really hard....I would like the company of others who have been destroyed by them to please contact me to band together and maybe bring some final justice for all.

These bastards put a lien on my acct without even a phone call or bit of correspondence. the debt is from 1995, by their own account they have had this debt since 2000. A $6000 debt has turned into my accoun being overdrawn $14000. I was cursed out just tonight by three collectors whom all calim to be lawyers. One said she could get the bill knocked down to $9000. How? When she admitted that the original debt is for $6000. I cant pay my rent or my sons' tuition which is due tomorrow. What am I supposed to do? This account is over 10years old there is no judgement against me. The statute in NYC is 6years. WTF is going on?

Has anyone recovered their acct from C&S?
273 days ago by Dee [send email]
I have just viewed my credit report and their are no judgements or debts owed to the bank C & S claim to represent. The plot thickens...

Your SS checks are exempt from the levy of any judgment. You should bring a Motion to Vacate Default Judgment to maintain the status quo.
243 days ago by Cynthia Wells [send email]
Keep in mind SS and both Public/Private pensions are excempt. They continue to do this, regardless of 2004 class action. The judges are not helping either, as each case pays the court 250.00. Profit to their respective court.

A point no one has mentioned in many forums, we must set in to legislation immediate relief for those on SSD, and all citizen 's who have no money after bank levy!! My spouse has heart disease, they levied everything in his checking, now he has no money for meds. It has been two weeks, our rent is due...no end in sight. Unless more consumers are willing to initiate yet another suit this will happen over and over, I was informed during consult they can go after you for a period of 20 years/ the SOL statute for what then?

I reside in NYS. Last year alone within the five boroughs of NY these charmers Cohen and Slam-on-you earned 800- million. I could go on and on, would prefer those interested in finding a class action Att'y to represent all the victims and familes, please feel free to e-mail me. Lastly, those who have suffered medical problems and or serious health issues as a resul contac legal aid, you may possibly be able to sue for pain and suffering etc. This being seperate from a Class Action. Everyone take a breathe deeply.

Cohen & Slamowitz froze my checking account; $2790.66 is considerably more than I have or will have in this account. My bank gave them $922.46, but my C&S "representative, " Pat Fendi, consistently denies that they've received any of this money. All she says is, "There's a freeze on your account." When I call to see if she has received the information I've faxed to her, she says, "No one has given me any faxes from you."
The defaulted credit card account in question is about 7 years old. It's not on my most recent credit report.
I'm disabled, and the stress of this situation is causing an exacerbation of my illness. I have no family members who can help me. Suicide is looking like the only way out.
