Eltman Eltman Cooper – Debt Collection Review from Bronx, New York
2
Hello, I'm seeking information that can help also a lawyer if possible. I've been a victim of identity theft for many years & recently received mail about a NY Unclaimed funds. I tried to receive the funds but found out a NY Marshall office collected a debt from the year 2002. I contacted the Marshalls who collected a Fraudulent debt and was told their case has moved on to a law firm by the names of (Eltman & Cooper). I was sent at first on a railroad runaround till I finally got a real contact for this law firm. When I explained to them you collected my earnings but should've investigated that i was a victim of identity theft they explained they would clear my name and refund my unclaimed funds. They said there located in New Jersey so there isn't a need for me to come in (Lie no.1). They said there gonna mail me a packet of identity theft and for me to fill out, Well one month went by and no pack at came so I recalled and same note they'll send it. Three months so far and nothing. I tried calling today and was talked to extremely rude by a worker/lawyer I'm assuming. I was told I'm the blame and my post office behind my address? But how's that? They never mailed anything. Then I find out this company lied to me about their location which is actually right here in NYC ? Its been a long stressful story and the amount of my Unclaimed fund is from what was told a decent amount over 4,000 I believe but I asked how can someone collect a persons debt with no real evidence. My debt had to do with a stolen identity credit card in my name in a state I never lived in. I told them also explained I have paperwork from those years to prove, also identity theft proof and paperwork from my credit bureau in the timeframe of the year they claimed I owed. Due to me speaking and letting them know this was a fraud act and in my own words (A scintilla of evidence) they got impatient and very rude and placed me on hold for almost a half hour?. So I hung up, still waiting for a fraud packet, was lied to about office location and to top off no help?. I'm seeking help or a lawsuit against this situation and know I have Perfect Evidence to show for. If possible I'm seeking help/advice thank you. Im sending to a lawyer as a civil case!
