I got scammed by a fake Lawyer... My friend knew i wanted to take Asset Acceptance to court or Sue. I wanted to do the small claims myself, but he suggested using this guy because it would bring more fear and look better. He's seeing this Fake Lawyer's sister in relationship, so okay i said cool, the guy was going to do me a favor and not charge me anyway!!! No Brainer right. Turns out this guy was FaKe...... I'm closer to having a Law Degree and i'm all about Computers..... I've been waiting 2.5 weeks for the resolution and he'd been giving me lies about what he's done and our next steps. My friend Broke up with the girl and she came clean!!! Shit we both got screwed.... Has anyone used the small claims template or filed on Asset? I need to do it in a hurry?????? Wouldn't mind the thought using a Lawyer... What are your thoughts? Any Georgia Creditnet members know any good ones???

Love, Thanks so much, the second one is right down the street from me. I'll call him up. ASSet really screwed this one up. It's funny i'd sent that corp counsel guy at asset a letter/final demand about 3 weeks ago and still in the 2.5 weeks i wasted with the fake lawyer, i've yet to receive anything from them. I guess they try to call peoples bluff. The most important thing is to see what he charges, but it's the principal now. We need to set a precedent with them... Thanks again i'll keep everyone posted.
backspace, What state are you in? I suggest you call the state's Disciplinary Counsel. They do investigations on Unauthorized Practice of Law cases.

Kozman & Love Thanks for the info, you must've been reading my mind, because i didn't want this guy to get off easy. The really funny thing about it is, he doesn't know yet i'm hip to his fakeness... His sister dropped a dime on him!!!!!!!! Love as you know they don't play when it comes to corrupt officials and misrepresentation here in GA..... Thanks
Also, check with the prosecutor's office in the jurisdiction the "lawyer" is in. In Ohio, it is a crime to present yourself as an attorney when you are not. The only thing worse than an attorney is a fake attorney and I'm in law school
Backspace.. I hope you nail this guys ass to the wall! Things like that make me soooo mad!! Good luck to you!
I've been on Vacation for over a Week.... Got home and have this letter from the Fake Attorney. It goes on to apologize for misrepresenation of a Lawyer, and how the Judicial system shouldn't be taken advantage of, being a law student pushed him to represent a lawyer. It included a copy of my initial outline of the problem with ASSET and a cashiers check for $250.00!!!! My refund for atty fees. OK a couple of problems here. He was doing the work for Free because my buddy was seeing his sister, so i never paid him anything. I contacted the office he was in and Phone disconnected, i went to the office, and it was vacated. Hmmmm, so i contacted the bldg leasing office. They said the tenant skipped out on the lease, and they're looking for him also.. They asked what my dealings were, but didn't want to get to deep in shit. I contacted my buddy to see if the girl he was seeing could shed some light, Her phone is disconnected also!!!! They must've been running a Scam ring, the funny thing the cashier's check is made out to me but no "From" person.... I gues i profited $250.00 but i wont' cash it because something tells me it will be coming back up soon, becuase the proscecutor office sent a letter for me to contact them about my inquiry.........
Good idea on the check with the exception of aone provision. It's a cashier's check and it's written to you from no one. It's the same as handing cash to you. Once money changes hands, title to the money changes as well. Anyways, I don't think 250 would be worth it. Ask the prosecutor you are dealing with. He'll probably advise that since the check most likely cannot be traced back to the posser attorney you can do what you want with it. Consider it damages for your "pain and mental anguish". Still file with your state authorities. If this guy IS in law school, it adds insult to injury. He KNOWS more than ANYONE else that he should not be representing and attorney. The state investigative authorities will check the rosters of all the state law school's and if he's there, they'll nail him. Good luck and let me know what the prosecutor advises about the cashier's check. My guess is you'll be 250 richer for none the less wear. Follow up on this moron. Don't let him think that by sending out a check for a couple hundred bucks gets him off the hook. You'll be the one doing the judicial system an injustice if you do. Have a good one and thanks for the update......
Yep i just thought about it. The money is mine. Have a meeting with the procescutor wednesday. Me and my buddy check around the Law Schools here in Atlanta and they have no listing of this guy!!! Probably another lie of his. I just remembered to see where the address on the letter showed, it came from the address of the vacated office.. What a Joke. Love gave me some names of attorneys I called and i got two msgs from him. I also had did this online law question email, ask the question and a prof attny will answer and i guess solicit you. I have 10 damn emails and 4 letters from attorneys via that 1 email...... Asset won't be able to weasel out of this one easy.... I have CreditNet Withdrawel.. I couldn't access the board or respond about anything per an agreement with my Girlfriend.. The whole time on Vacation i wanted to dialup and see what was going on and etc.......
