What is the name of your state? NY
I have 4 of them running after me.
A law firm (at least they say so) called Mel S. Harris & Associates located at 116 John Street, New York, NY 10038 has put a levy on my bank accounts. Excuse me but the SOB's did not send me anything, even my check to my doctor bounced. When I realized it, I contazacted my bank to see what was going on, they told me such and such has done this based on a court order may be and here is their phone number. I called the 800 number and of course it is a debt collector. They asked me for my SS Number, without me knowing who they are. So I asked the person to tell me who they are first and what is the reason for all this, then I will give them the number. He gave me his name, and he said this is a law firm, I said well anybody can say this is a law firm and there are tens of 1000's of them in New York City. So, I gave him the last 4 digits anyway, he said "Give the 4 numbers to a bank!" and hung up the phone.
Later my bank sent me a copy of what Mel Harris has send to them, which is an Informaiton Subpoena with a questionnaire with restraining notive. There is also an index number, but when I looked at NY County's Small courts, I could not find anything under the index number, my name, or the Mel Harris name (is that possible?). The paper sais: LR Credit, LLC (that I have never heard of) assignee of Chase Manhattan (that I know) plaintiff against me for $2004.74 etc, and my accounts show negative twice this amount, apparently it is based on New York laws.
I wrote them a letter requesting information, to which they wrote me a letter without information asking me to call tehm. I called left and a message, someone called and left a message. etc. After I read your posts, I wrote them a letter requesting them to release my account and explain to me who they are etc. as well as C and D (even if it may be late), and sent it CRRR today.
What else can I do? I have no intention of talking to these people, I do not want to play with my health. How can I release my account, and pay the original creditor rather than these people?
2- Another debt, a Sheriff has sent a garnishment of wages based on an action of those (I don't say anything) Cohen and Slamowitz for another debt with Discover. I wanted to pay little by little, but now they have contacted the university where I teach, and they are reducing my salary (too bad for them this is only a small portion, in other universtities I teach I earn some more than this), but it is not fair. I looked for inofrmation again, none of their lawsuites is against me (on NY County's court information). Is there a way to do something about this?
Thanks and sorry for the long letter
