CFPB Files Suit Against Law Firm for Collection Activities

Oh, he is a piece of work. He has the "good ol' boys" in his back pocket and knows it. I remember seeing him at his last trial smirk at the TV cameras and coo: "People just need to pay their bills".

Pompous so-and-so. I hope Richard Corday wipes that smirk off his face.

I just hope these criminals also serve a long jail sentence.

Based on the huge volume of lawsuits filed and allegedly "served," one must wonder if "gutter service" [the process servers sits in an office and creates fake proof of service forms without ever going to the defendant's residence to effect service of process] was utilized.  Eviction attorneys are also very fond of gutter service, for it's easier to win [sic] if the defendant never gets notice he's been "served."

So this is what Saul "Better call Saul" Goodman has been up to since the meth business went to heII ... :-)

Your second to last paragraph raises an important issue - did Hanna & Associates utilize "gutter service?"  Gutter/sewer service means the process server never actually serves the lawsuit on the defendant; instead, a false proof of service is generated reflecting a service that never occurred.

Michael Bowers, Georgia's ex-AG and Hanna's attorney just appeared on TV proclaiming that the "FTC is on the wrong side of the law".

Sorry, Bub, but your "Client" will no longer be able to hide behind the good ol' boys running things at the Gold Dome. This is FEDERAL.

@ Rick, the person posting those boring and unimaginative posts about CelticDragon has an unhealthy obsession with him or her. I hear Dr. Phil might be able to help with that.

Yes, someone called?  I believe this person needs to understand denial is not a river in Egypt.  Read and learn

Dear Dr. Phil

Please don't provide any services for this person --- they won't pay.  They are a professional debtor.  This deadbeat still owes several hundred dollars to an adult novelty vendor for inflatable dolls and thousands of dollars to a lingerie vendor for special order neglige for farm animals

Ahhh, I see, thanks for the heads up.  Not only is this troll a misogynistic bath salt users with a low IQ, they are also a sexual deviate and professional deadbeat.  Dear heavens, I don't think there is any hope for him.  Well, that's enough pro bono work for me for the week.  

Guess it's back to reading about unknown calls.  Any good dirt on Rachael from Card Member Services lately?

Motion for Default mill -
Good points & interesting. Angers me they're allowed practice this way.
Federal law requires sworn affidavits describing how, when & all details surrounding how the defendant was served in addition to executed proofs of service of the summons on the defendant. That's to protect the defendant so there's no question he/she received notice. Hopefully, there's no way around that. I'd be curious to see the Motions for Default churned out in this case. The whole thing stinks and attorneys shouldn't be allowed to practice like that. Thanks for sharing.

should have read "... own this debt" gets raised in court.

Update: Hanna's Motion to Dismiss the CFPB's case against him has been denied. He was under the delusion that Federal law should not apply to him. Too bad, so sad:

Quote:

The primary argument raised by Hanna was that the CFPA expressly prohibits the CFPB from enforcing the CFPA “with respect to activity performed by a lawyer as part of the practice of law.” The Hanna position is that states have exclusive authority to regulate the practice of law. In this instance, Hanna alleges that the Supreme Court for the State of Georgia has the exclusive jurisdiction.

The CFPB acknowledges that the CFPA has a “practice of law” exclusion, but that the exclusion covers only attorneys providing legal advice or services to consumers, not in this instance where Hanna provides services to banks or debt buyers and initiates litigation against consumers.

I can't wait to see the outcome of this case.

And---Hanna is still at it, filing illegal lawsuits as I speak on time-barred debts:

Assert your FDCPA rights. It's against the law for a collector to sue you or threaten to sue you on a time-barred debt. If you think a collector has broken the law, file a complaint with the FTC and your state Attorney General, and consider talking to an attorney about bringing your own private action against the collector for violating the FDCPA.

Good!  I hope they put that slimy sleazeball through the wringer - and then some!
