Rosenthal Stein and Associates
Mrs. Braswell illegal practices... Rude nasty people

I know what this woman from Rosenthal Stine and Associates did is illegal and only wish I could afford to hire a lawyer to deal with this.

I recently got a phone call while I was at work from a very fast talking woman named Mrs. Braswell who said she "represented" the "firm" Rosenthal, Stine and Associates. I immediately thought lawyers office. She proceeded to tell me this was a courtsy call letting me know that a claim had been filed against me by SMS Group and she would be verifying my employment and my wages would be garnished within 48 hours for the amount owed...$700. She then explained that this was a FEDERAL case because the claim was over a payday loan. Scared the crap out of me, caught me completely off guard.

After speaking with her for several minutes and frantically trying to find out what I could do to halt these proceedings she informed me that if I was able to make a $100 payment right then, over the phone, plus a $3 fee, she would close the case and that would be the end of it. But I had to make the payment by 5pm that day or my wages would be garnished with in 48 hours.By now I'm beginning to think that I'm not talking to a lawyers office and that she's misrepresenting herself. I took her name and number, assured her I would be calling back to make my payment and hung up. Then I called the number she had given me, got ahold of a live person working the phones and politely asked if I was calling an attnys office... She responded by telling me she needed my name and acct number to "get me to the right person". I again asked if I was calling an attnys office or a debt collection office, she again said she couldn't give me any info and needed my name and acct number. We did this about 4 times then I finally gave her my info and she immediately put me throught to Mrs. Braswell, again. I identified myself and asked her the same question. After going back and forth several times, she finally told me my acct hadnt gone to the legal department YET, but would at 5 pm that evening. I questioned why she would call and threaten to garnish my wages when she clearly had no authority to do so and she screamed at me that when I was ready to pay my d*n bill and stop playing games to call her and then she hung up on me.

This company is unbelievable. Their practices are illegal and misrepresenting themselves as an attnys firm is morally wrong.
