I've been hosed by Gulfstate/OSI. They couldn't validate, they deleted, the re-inserted under Sherman Acquisitions. I've been talking with a poster on creditmania.com. He's READY to do a class-action. Today he sent me the name of the attorney who is willing to take on the case, who also would LOVE to see OSI/Gulfstate brought to its knees. I know there are a lot of you here who have also been burned by OSI/Gulfstate/NameOfTheDay. If you're interested in becoming a part of this, let me know. I'm calling the attorney in just a few minutes, and will post more after I speak with him. Pam, OSI/Gulfstate victim
Hey Guys, I am the user on the other forum with the same problems with OSI/Gulf State. They deleted after I contacted them and now report it as Sherman Aquisition. I am ready to spearhead the Class Action Suit. I have the attorney online. He's a good guy and familiar with both agencies. In fact, Sherman Aquisition is a subsidiary of OSI/Gulf State. Drop me an email if you're interested in this. You do not have to be from California to get this done, but it does help.
Shoot me an email and I will give you the contact info for the lawyer. your experience is the same? Had a collection with OSI. They said they would remove and then moved it on to Sherman?
How do you send e-mail?? Yes, Listed as Gult-state originally...deleted on ALL 3 reports. Now shows up as OSI on TU and Sherman Acq on my EXP report. I have two accounts listed trhough them.
Click on his username at teh top of his post, that will take you to his profile page. There will be a link that says "Click here to send Grendel email". Click on that and go from there.
The atty named David Szwak, who posts here occasionally, posted a couple of months about Gulf State/OSI. Is that who the atty is?
Actually, no. As I am new to this forum, do you have contact info on him? If he's gone up against OSI/Gulf State etc, I'd like to know about it.
Grendel, I just emailed you. I can't believe I came across this post. I just looked at my TU today and OSI was listed for a seven year collection. They have re-aged it. Also it was originally Gulf State/Perimeter credit, but they deleted it(I still have the letter) now they have re-inserted it and slapped a new date on it. They gave me the whole Sherman aquisition thing too. Im ready to go after these bozos..
I emailed you the information. Folks, it's important that we contact the Attorney and forward the rquested information quickly. I want to finish this before the end of this year! I truly want to bury them. It's looking like we have ten people so far. Let's get more if we can! The more people we have on board, the more power we have to dig their grave and force them to lay down in it.
Left a voicemail for the attorney today. I'm looking forward to getting these %$#^%! Got my TU report in the mail today too (due to an update of a TL)....dropped 100 points because of the scumbags! As we know, TU doesn't artificially bump scores when something is in dispute, so I'm back in the 500 club once again. *sigh* Interesting note, I sent Sherman a CA #2 letter (the "you got sold a bill o' goods, remove the TL in 5 days" one), and next to the entry, it states "THE FOLLOWING ITEM IS SUPPRESSED PENDING CREDIT GRANTOR UPDATE". Wonder what they'll be doing next? Hmm. Regardless, Mr. Caron knows how to get a hold of me and I'm lawsuit bound, baay baay! Look out OSI/GulfState/Sherman...whomever you are!
One other thing...anyone know what a "FACTORING COMPANY ACCOUNT" is? That's what Sherman is calling their acccount, in addition to listing it as an OPEN ACCOUNT. It also states our favorite term, "COLLECTION ACCOUNT." I just don't know what a "FACTORING COMPANY ACCOUNT" is, though. Anyone know?
We're all law suit bound with this. Now the next thing I need to track down: I read a while ago that OSI was spanked and fined. Does anyone have information on this? Also, I've heard that Sherman is just another name or affiliate of Gulf State/OSI. Does anyone have information on this? Key to this Class action suit is that we all work together to bury these people in so much information. I will need help with this, but I will Spearhead it.
Do you mean a suit against another name of theirs, Perimeter? http://www.ftc.gov/opa/1999/9902/perimeter.htm I am planning to send my letter about OSI/Gulfstate/Sherman to the FTC next week. Make sure you let them know about continued illegal practices by their company! The $300,000 fine didn't seem to make much of a difference...perhaps our additional suit will!
I do...it's called my Credit Bureau file. They mysteriously got the account transferred to them about 10 days after OSI & Gulfstate deleted the account from my bureaus. They knew I couldn't possibly find it there under Sherman and figure out they are the same company! They smart. Drop 'em an email and see how they respond: Sherman Financial Group, LLC Anish Shah 212-922-1616 E-Mail: anish@shermfin.com Membership: Standard OSI Portfolio Services, Inc. Bryan Faliero 678-417-5000 E-Mail: bryan.faliero@osi.to Membership: Professional Funny, but Gulfstate and Perimeter Credit aren't listed on the DebtBuyers.org website. http://www.debtbuyers.com/whoswho.php3
These guys are very sneaky. I've had to go through many SEC filings to find the correlations bewtween the companies as well. I am looking for information that Gulf State and Sherman Acquisitions are affiliates. They've hid LLC's under Corps that are owned by other Corps.
Just an FYI...Edelman, Combs and Latturner are also working on a class action against these scumbags. I spoke with grenedel's attorney this afternoon, and since I don't reside in California, he cannot represent me. I understand he'll be getting in touch with them to possibly work together. In the meantime, I'm off to Kinko's to make copies of documents to send to Edelman, Combs & Latturner. Take that, you greedy CA! http://www.edcombs.com/FSL5CS/Custom/TOCSpecial.asp
