Cohen And Slamowitz
Ripoff They strike again!

When a lien was placed on my bank account and I spoke to someone from Cohen and Slamowitz, I knew something was fishy, which is why I checked usacomplaints.com. I can't believe how shady these lawyers are.

On November 21, a lien for over $7000 was placed on my account. I found this out when I was in the grocery attempting to purchase food to prepare my Thanskgiving dinner and my purchase was denied.

After calling the bank and getting the number for Cohen and Slamowitz, I called and spoke to a lady by the name of Ms. Pierce. I was told by her that a lien was placed on my account for a Mastercard debt from 2002.
I asked Ms. Pierce how they could just, out of nowhere, place a lien on my bank account. I had no money for transportation to work or school, no money for food, etc. She told me that this was allowed because I ignored the papers I was served. When I told her I was never served any papers, she told me that someone came to my door and served the papers to someone in my household; but I caught her in a lie. Besides the fact neither my mother nor myself were served, I have a doorman. Noone is allowed upstairs without being buzzed and having to sign in, and this was not done.

I then told Ms. Pierce that I believed this was a mistake because the only credit card I had while in college was a Visa, which I had paid back late, but in full. I asked her to please send me any information regarding this account, and was told that she did not have this information.

In turn, she told me that I had to pay this debt back and she requested my social security number and pay stubs.

I don't know what to do about this. I read the other complaints about these lawyers and it seems like they are getting away with what they are doing.

So far I have gone down to civil court and filed and order to show cause. I have an upcoming court date, but what should I bring? How can I prove this is not a debt that I owe and get the case dismissed?
