Several months ago I was contacted by Erin Capital Management about an alleged debt.
I requested proof of documentation and that letter was never answered. Therefore I came to the conclusion that there was no proof. However, on 8-4 I was called, while at work, by the following person who says he is a lawyer:
Gregory M. Maurer
250 Jericho Turnpike #207
Floral Park, NY 11001
Ph# 516-616-5502
He said he was giving me an opportunity to go down to the sheriffs office and arrange payments to his office or else he was going to execute garnishment. The following week I received a writ of garnishment in the mail from the Cayuga County Sheriffs department with his name as the lawyer.
I thought I had a right to receive documented proof?! I received nothing, not even a summons, although I did find out a summons existed at the Cortland County Courthouse. I paid $5 to get a copy.
The processor, a Michael Shadders (who resides in Monroe County NY), lied about delivering it though because he said he verified it with a neighbor who didn't even live at the address he said he verified it with!
I went to a lawyer in Cortland and he said there's nothing I can do about this.
As I said before, I had also written to the original company asking for documented proof:
Erin Capital Management
35 East 21st ST
5th Floor
New York, NY 10010
Phone: 212-660-3124
Fax: 212-660-3101
They did not answer me and apparently passed this on to the above named lawyer and he somehow successfully executed this garnishment on me, bypassing any rights I supposedly have! They are executing on the 30th of this month (August)!
To add insult to injury, I called the above named lawyer (Gregory M. Maurer) and tried to ask him to cease and desist collection activity because I had no documented proof, but he interrupted me before I could finish my sentence and started hollering at me about how I was living in fairyland if I thought that was going to work, and then he started hollering something about my dead mother and other relatives, then hung up on me!
While I do have credit problems, none of them are my fault and apparently because of these problems I am being targeted by scammers. I lost my job at a large corporation in Cortland, NY on 1/28, and they let me know that myself and several others were being let go because of 9/11 just 10 minutes before our shift ended! I was out of work for over a year before I finally got another job, although it does not pay nearly what I made at that corporation.
I am unable to go bankrupt and am barely surviving each and every week, and I further do not understand how these crooks can take anything from me, completely ignoring my rights! I was never shown proof of anything, yet somehow everything got passed along without my knowledge!
I am in no position to have my wages garnished, and especially to someone I do not owe anything to!
So here I am, after filing several complaints all over the internet to government agencies, the attorney general and anyone else I can think of, and I haven't heard anything.
Is this America?
