Sharinn & Lipshie Bank Levy

This agency, purporting to be Attorney's at Law, Levied a lien of over $11, 800 against mine and my wife's bank account for an alleged debt owed. When calling the phone number provided (which no one answered, only an anwer phone, we are told that it is NOT an attorney but, rather, a collection agency. Naturally, this occured immediately AFTER my Social Security check was deposited so, we cannot even access those funds.

My wife and I have been on Social Security, unable to get work for two years. The money in the account and minimal savings was less than $5, 000 combined and came from scrimping on our Social Security (less than $2000 a month, our only source of income) We do not have any other retirement or pension income.

Now our account is frozen and we have no money to use for necessities: to eat, buy medications and pay bills, which will put us further force us into debt. Plus we will now owe overdraft fees to the bank. And add to that, the problems of following up to get this corrected and, perhaps, having to hire an attorney with no funds. This without any advance request for information pertaining to the account and any exempt status or requesting our attempts to work out a solution.

You need to get an order to show cause. They have to prove u were legally served and that you owe the debt. Also under a new Obama law the bank musty release atleast $1740 of the funds to you. You need to get an order to vacate the judgement from the judge because you never went to court to defend yourself. Once you get that, the bank will release your funds. take out all your money.

To the business owner: ErinSandler is an individual who has set out to cause damage to businesses listed on here. Her (or his) sole purpose is to cause damage. I am in discussion with the law firm of Starrs Mihm, LLP to bring extortion and defamation charges against Complaints Board. In that process, we can subpoena records relating to the IP address of "ErinSandler" consequently, this sewer rat will be made public. If you would like to join me, please send an email to dirdeedeedz@gmail.com (designated for this website), and I will have my attorney's contact you. I have the wherewithal and vigor to stop this.

Sharinn & Lipshie harrassment

We were contacted in a most abrupt manner by a Mr Arrington at this law firm stating that he was a debt collector for JC Penney.

Money was owed to JC Penney but this gentleman treated my husband and I as if we were hardened criminals and made almost impossible demands for repayment of the debt in a most arrogant and demeaning way.

When the final settlement was made, he tried to make it impossible for us to make it in a timely manner, treating us as if we had no
brains and even though we are in the same state tried to make us send the payment in such a way that it would cost us an arm and a leg. He even called after the payment should have been in his office to make sure that the payment was made.

Each payment that we had made previously by regular US mail had arrived in his office and the check cashed within 3 days and he told us we had to allow for at least a week and send the check by Fed Ex in order for it to arrive in time. Needless to say, we sent it express mail on a Saturday morning and it was in Uniondale on Monday morning.

Throughout the process, Mr Arrington as extremely rude and demeaning and treated us with total disrespect.

We are paying off other debts through other agencies and not one of them has felt the need to give us a "get tough attitude".

I feel it unfortunate that such a company as JC Penney feels it necessary to stoop to such low means to collect a debt.

I had the pleasure of dealing with this company for a unpaid Kay Jewelers account. First and foremost, this is my debt, I realize I have not paid. I got myself into this and I take full responsiblity for the debt I incurred. I was laid off for quite some time so this account went to this law firm for collection. I used to work in collections a long time ago and I must say this law firm is among the most demeaning, and diffucult to deal with. Mr. Cole is who I had the pleasure of dealing with and his demeanor, attitude, and language makes me think they hired him off the street corner in good old Long Island where they are located. He has no clue what he is doing, not even remembering arrangements we made a week ago, he was rude, and spoke like he had a mouthful of food stuck in his trap. This company is at the bottom of the barrell for collection companies. They call us debtors all kinds of names, but little do they know if we didnt pay our bills for whatever reason they wouldnt have a job and would in the same situation as us all who have unfortunate circumstances happen. My advice is if you have the means to pay off your account with these incompitent, arrogant, and idiotic "collectors" then do it as soon as you can.

I just dealt with some one who thinks he is above me. Which only sparked a heated yelling match and a few #$!@#$ here and there. I was trying to tell him I could pay it in a few months or so. Kinda hard to get money together when I am on SSD. Which I am tempted to tell him to F off he can't touch the SSD money or anything else I have .. I would rather do the right thing but this guy is pushing to many wrong buttons. I hung up on him once and he called me right back. Then I had to call him to get some info and OMG he had to redo something and [censor]ed the whole time. /Sigh

Well, I had the "pleasure" of having my bank account frozen...with NO notice...not being served, nor notified in writing nor by phone...It was for a jcpenny bill...After my divorce, I contacted Jcpenny to pay off my debt, but they said they no longer had the account and that I would be hearing from a collection agency...Penny's would not take any payment...Well, never heard from ANY collection agency until my bank account was frozen...for OVER double of what I owed... my BANK then gave me the name and number of the Sharinn and Lipshie group..Troy Smith...the collector, told me it's not THEIR responsibilty to contact me in any way, nor about freezing my bank account...It's my problem, and I should have thought of that when I didn't pay my bills! He was so rude that I requested the conversation be recorded, and then got a coworker to sit in my office and hear the conversation over speaker phone...Mr. Smith became much more polite... They doubled what I owed and would not give me an itemized invoice...And I went to my bank to release that inflated amount because I had written three checks in good faith (one being my rent) believing I had several thousand dollars in my account...
Contact the Attorney general of your state...the debt collectors are REQUIRED to PROPERLY serve you at your CURRENT home address! But this company PRETENDS they have...they are currently being investigated by Andrew Cuomo for their unlawful practices... His office is sending me a complaint form and gave some great advice!

i agree i had a mr white call me in the most horrible manner i felt like i had killed somebody when all i did was not pay my ballys memership bill in which i have to say is highway robbery. He spoke to me as if i was a child and with absolute no repsect what so ever. They went as far as freezing my account in which at the time i had direct deposit of my paychecks so i did get paid for 2 weeks it was horriblw and when i informed Mr white that i had child to support his words were "not my problem you should have thought of this before" how digusting it that to say that to a single parent. i understand that you are reasponsible for paying you bills and debt but sometimes things happen and you cant change. Sharinn and Lipshie what a Joke you are and mr white what goes around comes around

Sharinn & Lipshie Lack of Service/Default Judgment

We have been fighting with GE Money Bank about a debt that we did not incur. They turned it over to Sharinn & Lipshie. We never received anything from Sharinn and Lipshie. We never received a summons or notification of a default judgment. We never received notification of the lawsuit, so how could we have appeared? The only way we found out about it was when our bank accounts were frozen and they took double the amount out. We were forced to pay them the money so that our accounts would be released. Our bank had to give us their information. How do they get away with this? We were held hostage. There was no talking to them. They had total control. They did not care that we did not incur the debt. I hope that enough people complain about their strong arm methods.
