I have spent the major part of my business career in financial services. Some years ago I hit a "stone wall" and due to that adversity I honed a whole new set of skills which now enables me to help others who are victims of financial scams or who have fallen on hard times.

Some Cute Debt Collector Tricks

Rate: 1 Flag

In Connecticut and perhaps elsewhere when a summons is served and stuffed under the door or between the storm door and the entry door it is called “an abode service”. This is done of no one answers the door or just done without even ringing the bell in the first place. You would be surprised about how many lawsuits are filed withthe defendants not even knowing that they have been sued.  You may be scratching your head and asking how the hell this stuff happens?

Well to make a long story real short, there are a lot of really bad nasty people out there who are looking for the quickest and easiest ways to take lots of money out of your pocket. One of the the very favorite debt collector tricks is to purposely serve people at an address they know to be incorrect, i.e. they know the person being sued has not lived there for some time. You also have process servers who swear or affirm that they have served legal papers when in fact they have not.

Unfortunately many times the ruse works and default judgments are awarded simply because the defendants in the cases never had a clue that they were being sued and only find out later when the judgment shows up on their credit reports or on someone’s background check. Not nice.

I am glad that you brought it up. I was served by this CT Marsha whol illegally trespassed into my garage (either by opening the regular garage entry door, or, by the electronically operated garage roll-up door) and inserted the Summons in the door jam from the inside of the regular garage entry door with 99% of the paper hanging from the Jam. There is a door frame outside of the regular entry door that is smaller in dimension than the door, which creates a L shape door jam. I reported to the local policeman and I was accused of trying to redirect the attention. When I asked the police office how anyone could insert a 6-page Summons through an iron door with a L shape door jam? He refused to answer. When I filed for motion to dismiss, the Debt Collector attorney showed up with photos of my property without my consent. The judge would not allow me to ask questions. Each time I asked a question or tried to reason, the judge would just say "...you are rude...you are rude..." When I told the judge that I wished to know how this marshal inserted the Summons through the door, the Marshal answered that I just did. The judge said to me that the answer was OK with her. This is Corrupticut we are living in. Well, after the judge denied me the motion to dismiss, I knew I could not get a fair deal under this judge in this court as Pro Se. I removed my case to the Federal District Court. I intend to file counter-claim that the collector will be fined with $1,000 for each and every count of violations from the Federal Fair Collection Act. The legal system in CT is extremely corrupt. Pro Se litigants do not get fair shares and do not get justice. CT citizens are *&%*&^*&^! They willingly elect the worst politicians to run their lives.
