And this from a non-attorney? Where do you get your information, you need to check the source, this doesn't sound right!

Read the pay day loan laws of your respective state. Google them then you can make an informed decission and comment.
The company discussed, are good at intimidation, if not, I'm sure I would have been sued back in 2009. The account was settled for a lot less and not with that company. Check the pay loan laws, read them, that is the only way to protect yourself. Things will get better, they are. But don't let anyone intimidate you.

Uh, no you can't, it's public record. If you don't want your buisness out there, do not rip people off then get convicted. Da.
Nelson Hirsch and assosiates are a scam. Now we all know why.

Debt Collector Nelson, Hirsch & Associates Enters into $4.3 Million Settlement with the Governor’s Office of Consumer Protection

November 8, 2011


ATLANTA, GA – Nelson, Hirsch & Associates, Inc., a Georgia debt collections company, and its owner, Tanya Santiago, have entered into an Assurance of Voluntary Compliance with the Governor’s Office of Consumer Protection (OCP), resolving charges that the company committed multiple violations of the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act. OCP’s investigation stemmed from a series of reports from consumers that Nelson, Hirsch & Associates harassed and deceived them by:
•Failing to disclose that it was a debt collector attempting to collect a debt;
•Threatening consumers with arrest, imprisonment or charges of fraud if they did not pay the debt;
•Refusing to send consumers written proof of the debt owed;
•Collecting more than the amount owed or authorized;
•Threatening to call the consumer’s employer and have the consumer’s wages garnished;
•Falsely representing to consumers that it was affiliated with a law firm and/or that the caller was a fraud investigator;
•Continuing to contact consumers even after they told the company to stop calling them;
•Calling consumers at unusual hours (e.g. before 8:00am or after 9:00pm);
•Calling consumers at work when they knew their employers prohibited such contact;
•Speaking to consumers in a harassing and abusive manner;
•Threatening consumers’ family members;
•Calling repeatedly (sometimes as much as 50 times a day)

Under the Assurance, Nelson, Hirsch & Associates and Ms. Santiago are required to cease business operations. Further, Ms. Santiago must refrain from engaging in any aspect of debt collection activities in Georgia or in connection with Georgia consumers for a period of at least five years. In addition, the company and Ms. Santiago will forego collection of 5,809 consumer accounts that they had purchased from creditors who had previously written off the debts. These accounts total $4,307,658. The company must also pay a $26,000 civil penalty and reimburse OCP for investigative and legal expenses in the amount of $24,000.

“We are sending a strong and clear message that this kind of abuse and harassment of consumers, and the egregious disregard for the law that these practices typify will not be tolerated,” says John Sours, Administrator of the Governor’s Office of Consumer Protection.

I had set-up a payment plan and was 6 months into the plan, when I noticed a change in the name on my bank statement.  That's the only reason...I know anything about what is going on with Nelson, Hirsch & Associates

After I found this out, I contacted the original business and found out that NH&A wasn't even the collection agency that had been given the debt.  It appears the National Credit Adjusters (NCA) was given the collection but somehow NH&A got my information...I am unable to reach NCA via phone, it just rings, puts me through voice prompts, puts me on hold and eventually drops the call.

The company name on my bank statement was Aaron, Everett & Meyers and come to find out was established in 7/2011 by Gordon M Berger, an attorney with:

Wagner, Johnson & Rosenthal, P.C.
5855 Sandy Springs Cir.
Suite 300
Atlanta, GA 30328

404.261.0500

So how did this company get my debt information?

Also, Atlanta Restaurant Real Estate Brokers - The Shumacher Group helped to sell NH&A to a JEFF TILT per their website "www.shumacher.com" which I emailed them & said really bad PR.

The press release as of November 8, 2011 in the comment above, pretty much says she is out of business but it appears to me that the business has been sold...so what does that mean to me? Only time will tell!

UPDATE:  Well, at least someone is taking this seriously...The Shumacher Group has removed all references to brokering the sale of Nelson, Hirsch & Associates off their webpage...I guess they agreed with me that it wasn't great PR.

ANOTHER UPDATE:  I think I have figured out the mystery as to how Aaron, Everett & Meyers, LLC got my debt information...It appears that the attorney Gordon M Berger with:

Wagner, Johnson & Rosenthal, P.C.
5855 Sandy Springs Cir.
Suite 300
Atlanta, GA 30328

404.261.0500

Also, is the Registered Agent for RETMIP, Inc a company that list the CEO as J. R. Tilt, plus both of the companies (Aaron, Everett & Meyers, LLC and RETMIP, Inc.) have the same principle office address of:

1589 Pinehurst Drive
Atlanta GA 30311

Nelson Hirsh & Associate has been taking $30 a check from me for a debt from QuikPay. I can not get in touch with them to see how much more I owe. I think this is a fraud.

I know Mr. Broughton, very well and he would have never said what the person who called themself "pissed" said.  This man is an upstanding and a model citizen.  He would never cross the line in the way that this person fabricated on this site.  You can always tell when a person owes a debt they start hollering and cackling like the loudest hen in the house.  If you pay your bills and stop stealing money from everyone else you would not be in these situations and you would have no reason to lie on good people.  I feel sorry for you dead beats that don't pay your bills and sadly your parents seemingly did a poor job of bringing you up and teaching you the diffrence between right and wrong,  Shame on you for disgracing your parents like that.  My advice to you deadbeats is to PAY YOUR BILLS AND SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!   I AM SICK OF LISTENING TO YOU!!!!!

Thank you Mr. Broughton. You may continue with your shift in the boiler room now. Be careful though your pants are on fire!

Very entertaining, though really it is. We love to see you crooks squirm on here!

It's a scam. I reported them to the federal trade commission.  They claimed I wrote a bad check to Winn dixie in 2002...its 2016. I checked with my bank my check was paid and I'm inn good standing with Winn dixie. Please know your rights. If a collection agency calls you they must provide a letter of debt.  This person refuses. I received a call today from a Las Vegas  number....but this time it's Boykin and associates. In august it was Brian miller and associates.  It's a scam. Dotgi e your information and please report them to the federal trade commission
