Selip & Stylianou (Previously Cohen & Slamowitz)
reviews and complaints

Selip & Styianou, LLP, formerly known at Cohn & Slamowitiz (still the same company) practices roto calling, consumer harassment with numerous court complaint letters, calling your place of work endlessly, using fake process servers and refusing to name who those people are, what time did they actual showed up in a gated community (which is questionable) and the lists goes on.

Unfortunately the Bronx County court system holds up Selip & Stylianou and Midland Funding, LLC fake claims which allows them to steal thousands if not millions of dollars from one of the poorest county in NYC which is the Bronx.

Consume are greetings at the Civil Bronx House on Grand Concourse by count appointed lawyers advocates that only listen and side with law firms like Selip & Styianou, formerly known at Cohn & Slamowitz -representing a company like Midland Funding company who lives off buying consumer debt for pennies and then using harassment tactics to collect thousands+ dollars of fake claims.

If anyone wants to join in a civil lawsuit with me and so many others against the Selip & Styianou of Woodbury, NY and Midland Funding LLC, feel free to contact me.

Same situation - I beat them in court. Get a lawyer do not pay anything

This firm went after me for a bogus claim. They went as far as to submit the case to the CountyCourt without my knowledge and obtain and order to garnish my salary. I contacted my lawyer and went to court. Guess what? I won. It seems their efforts using a drive by summons drop off didn't hold in court. Also the individual who supposedly handed me the summons did not show up in court. Also, in New York they also have to show proof that they tried to contact you at your work place. As long as you're passed the statute of limitations you should be okay. Don't fall for their intimadating shyster tricks. Good luck.

Totally agree. I ordered flowers thinking I would get a discount. Not only did they charge me an initial $25 for the discount that I never received (instead of the flowers costing me $25 as listed it cost my $65) and thereafter I keep getting hit with a $9.99 charge every month. They're not up-front about their charges or fees. Shoppers beware!

Stop Cohen & Slamowitz Harassment
Chances are, if you've been contacted by Cohen & Slamowitz once, they'll keep contacting you - whether or not you actually owe a debt. Their M.O. is to pepper consumers with dozens of calls and letters. If you're ready to stop Cohen & Slamowitz harassment, you need to take a stand. Understand that, calling repeatedly and verbal abuse are both violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. The law broadly defines harassment, which includes “the use of obscene or profane language, or language the natural consequence of which is to abuse the hearer or reader.” Under the law, Cohen & Slamowitz harassment isn't judged based on how you felt; the more generous standard of the “least sophisticated consumer” is applied. So, harassment happens anytime the hypothetical least sophisticated consumers might feel confused or threatened. Meant to intimidate and demean you, Cohen & Slamowitz's threats of violence, abusive language, and threatening to take property that is not being used as debt collateral are against the law.

This means that, unless you put your house, car, or other property up for collateral for the particular debt that is being collected, it is illegal for Cohen & Slamowitz to threaten to take or repossess that property. Of course, this doesn't include mortgages or car loans, which are secured by the property. But, for example, if it's a Discover bill that they are collecting, they have no right to any property.

But debt collectors like Cohen & Slamowitz use other types of illegal threats as well. For example, they might say or imply that non-payment will result in your arrest or imprisonment. It is flat-out illegal to threaten criminal prosecution to collect a civil debt. Cohen & Slamowitz might also threaten to take action that can't be legally taken, such as threatening a lawsuit on a debt that is past the statute of limitations, or threatening to garnish your wages. In order to garnish your wages, Cohen & Slamowitz must first take you to court, get a judgment in their favor, and then execute the judgment. In addition, garnishment is very limited in most states, and not available for all types of debts.
