Big news from the Fred Hanna firm

[SECLG]

I am told by an unquestionably reliable source that Dennis Henry, the attorney whose "signature" has appeared on thousands of lawsuits filed by Frederick J. Hanna & Associates over the past 9 years was terminated today. I'll be at liberty to post much more info in a few weeks.

I think this is what they call "karma".

I hate to wish bad things upon anyone, especially at this time of year, but you're definitely correct about karma.

[MagnusTheDestroyer]

Are you saying he was the target of a hit?

[SECLG]

Hah. Freudian slip, I guess. However, he was only fired.

GOOD RIDDANCE TO DENNIS HENRY....now if the "HANNA GROUP" could be slammed shut as well.

I received an "un-signed", dunning letter from "THE HANNA BOYS" a few years ago regarding a credit card which I had defaulted on.

I replied with my dispute letter, stating that in view of the fact that no one had signed the letter, I assumed that no one had taken the time to perform a " thorough and meaningful review of the facts so stated in their letter" and demanded that they validate the matter as so stated. I further demanded to know the names of their employees as well as the names of the credit card companies employees, who had "first hand personal knowledge" of the matter so stated, and demanded a full explanation as to how they arrived at the amount so stated in their letter and in accordance with the TRUTH IN LENDING ACT REGULATION Z.

....Fast Forward... a couple of weeks later, I received a letter signed by the famous " Dennis Henry"...simply stating that "yep, our client confirmed that you owe the amount so claimed" ...no breakdown, explanation ...nothing !!! Say what !!!!!

I sent Mr Henry another letter advising him that (1) He had not complied with my validation request in accordance with the FDCPA, OR the requirements set forth by the TRUTH IN LENDING ACT. (2) I advised him that I could find no evidence of him being licensed to practice law in the State of Tenn, and as such he was in violation of Tenn Law. I further advised Mr Henry that under the circumstances, he might be guilty of (1) committing fraud upon the State of Tenn, and attempting fraud upon me personally(2) Violation of Title 18 Chapter 63 ( mail fraud...fraud and swindles), in as much as he could not or would not confirm that he had a verifiable , properly executed and SIGNED LETTER OF AGREEMENT OR RETAINER DOCUMENT with the alleged client so named, and as such I would hold him personally and corporately liable in the event I ELECTED TO PURSUE THIS MATTER IN COURT.

I suggested to Mr Henry that he should exercise one of these options:

(1) Comply with my demands for validation and verification of all documents

or....SIMPLY CEASE ALL FURTHER COMMUNICATION.

Well folks that has been about 4 years ago...I guess Mr Henry decided that it was in his best interest to "cease all communications"

Folks...use the FDCPA laws and all other applicable state and Federal laws to your advantage..

MOST OF THE FIRMS you receive letters from CANNOT COMPLY WITH EXISTING LAW AND THEY KNOW IT....THEY JUST HOPE THE" LITTLE GUY" IS NOT INFORMED !!

I confirmed today. Dennis Henry's office at the Hanna firm is empty. He is know working with/for Roy Reagin, a former Hanna attorney who started his own collection firm and at least two JDB's, Fountain Receivables and RPR Holdings.

Well when you have someone sign your name to documents, you are probably going to be terminated for being lazy.

I have an alleged debt from Hanna, that has never been validated, and forwarded before the 30 days were up to a local attorney that has sued me in court.

I told the new attorney by certified letter that the debt was still disputed with Hanna, and I had added a clause in the letter to Hanna, that if the alleged debt was transfered or sold after this day (date the letter was written) that the alleged debt was still disputed until proven so by Hanna!

My case is still in court with this local attorney!

Humm.........

I just looked at the Dunning letter from Hanna that I received and it is unsigned also!

What can I do about that, since he has transfered the alleged debt to a local attorney who has now sued me?

Nothing much to do now with dunning letter, put it on the back burner. Right now you need to focus on answering the summons so that you don't receive a default judgment.

Start your own thread to get help. Many who can help will not read this thread.

Same thing. Within 7 days after I received my green card back from Hanna, a law firm in my state sent me a dunning letter. What? I thought. 2 + 2 added quickly to 4. To my mind, Hanna, after my request for validation, continued to try and collect without validation by hiring the attorney in my state.

First thing I did was to call the original creditor, who told me Hanna had the account. I asked them about the attorney from my state and was told they'd "never heard of the law firm". Proof positive, then, that Hanna had continued collecion efforts without validating.

Next, I sent off a letter to FTC and to my AG. A few weeks later, I received a response from both. I also received a reponse from my state's "financial matters", which included a letter from an Hanna attorney. His claim to them was that as soon as Hanna had received my validation request, they had "dropped" my account. Of course, a lie, since they had simply hired the firm in my state. I made a copy of the letter from the Hanna attorney and sent it around to the Bar in my home state, the Bar in GA. In addition, I sent a further response to the state financial matters department, going over the Hanna's lies, one by one.

All of this began in March, 2010. All has been quiet for the last three months. What occurred, I believe, is exactly what I stated in my letters to the power-that-be, that Hanna got caught with his pants down and did a very poor job hoisting them back up. Hanna, to me, OBVIOUSLY, continued collection activites by hiring my in-state firm, a firm that the OC knew nothing about. I will be absolutely shocked if I hear anything more from Hanna, or anyone. (I also sent copies of the letters to the OC. I wanted all concerned to know what was going on, in case they didn't)

Not to mention being subject to prosecution for committing perjury or enticing someone else to commit perjury....CRIMINAL CHARGES AND JAIL TIME ANYONE ??

I think this is what they call "karma".

In view of the fact that his name has appeared on THOUSANDS OF LAWSUITS, and possibly as many affidavits, then it would appear that under no sense of the imagination, has Henry or any one else at the Hanna Club ever had any personal knowledge or first hand involvement in the matters so stipulated in the thousands of lawsuits. Just how much time did anyone there spend in "thoroughly and meaningfully reviewing " the information prior to filing suit.

I nailed their butts in this regard. The letters I received WERE NOT SIGNED BY ANYONE, THEREFORE IT WAS OBVIOUS NO ONE HAD REVIEWED THE INFORMATION. I submitted that the name 'FRED HANNA AND ASSOCIATES" was a "legal fiction" incorporated in the state of Georgia, yet no legal fiction could review or digest any information pertaining to these matters. and could not act without being so instructed by a corporate official...the question was...who instructed the legal fiction to act, by sending me the dunning letters? It is quite obvious why most of any such letters are NEVER SIGNED BY ANYONE WHO CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. Therefore I have resorted to replying to any unsigned letters with the following statements:

"Please be advised that I am hereby demanding a full accounting and validation of this alleged debt, especially account for how you arrived at the amount so stated in accordance with '' THE TRUTH IN LENDING ACT AND REGULATION "Z", and the name/s of your corporate officials who arrived at their conclusion.

I further demand that you disclose the names of all parties within your firm and those employed by your client who has personal knowledge and first hand information in this regard.....(and I could go on and on..)

My final DEMAND is that any future letters including my requested validation are signed by the representative in your firm along with their full address and telephone number.

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX FOLKS...DON'T JUST STOP WITH FDCPA VIOLATIONS !

Note: I'm not a lawyer...just know how to spot when these guys are attempting to circumvent the law !!
