I contacted Pressler and Pressler on 9/15/08 because a judgment was entered against me. I called twice and spoke to 2 different "paralegals". I requested proof of this debt since my bank account was levied after the judgment without receiving any type of paper work for me to volunterly offer payment of a debt that I do not feel I owe. Both times I was refused proof of this "debt" citing that the burden of proof is on me. If I do not feel I owe, why is the burden on me? They have to prove to me that I owe it since this debt was given to Pressler and Pressler by Midland Holdings LLC. I also requested their client's address and phone number and this information was also refused to me. Now according to the Fair Debt and Collection Act I am entitled to proof of this alleged debt. Why am I being denied this? I again contacted Pressler and Pressler today 10/3/08 at around 4PM, I spoke with a man that said was a paralegal, I again requested proof, I was told once again that the burden of proof is on me. He wanted me to tell him where I work and my home phone#, when I refused he got loud and nasty with me. I explained to him that I did not have to give him any ammunition against me and that I plead the 5th, he hung up on me.
Now my conversations with Pressler and Pressler were recorded by them, so there is proof that I was not treated fairly by this company when I called to request proof of the alleged debt.
It is clear to me that they do not have proof and that since the court clerk has to accept all papers for filing, and since I was not present on the judgment date they feel the debt is valid. I want Proof it is my right as per the Federal Government.
