Wow I just read this article and it was unreal. NCC's attorney stated all the consumers were 'deadbeats' and they did not have to follow the fdcpa because they bought the debts. Is this guy for real? Also, criminal charges may be filed against them and there is a hearing june 9th to see if they are shut down for good. NCC is stating that all the people who complained are liars. LOL LOL http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/jersey/index.ssf?/base/news-3/1053066981302100.xml
Talk about picking the WRONGO court strategy LOL. You are right, this is unreal....yet, it probably was to be expected. PawMix
All I've got to say is THE FOLLOWING ARE REAL STATEMENTS MADE DURING COURT CASES: Judge: I know you, don't I? Defendant: Uh, yes. Judge: All right, tell me, how do I know you? Defendant: Judge, do I have to tell you? Judge: Of course, you might be obstructing justice not to tell me. Defendant: Okay. I was your bookie. ---------------------------------------------------- From a defendant representing himself . . . Defendant: Did you get a good look at me when I allegedly stole your purse? Victim: Yes, I saw you clearly. You are the one who stole my purse. Defendant: I should have shot you while I had the chance. ---------------------------------------------------- Judge: The charge here is theft of frozen chickens. Are you the defendant? Defendant: No, sir, I'm the guy who stole the chickens. ---------------------------------------------------- Lawyer: How do you feel about defense attorneys? Juror: I think they should all be drowned at birth. Lawyer: Well, then, you are obviously biased for the prosecution. Juror: That's not true. I think prosecutors should be drowned at birth, too. ---------------------------------------------------- Judge: Is there any reason you could not serve as a juror in this case? Juror: I don't want to be away from my job that long. Judge: Can't they do without you at work? Juror: Yes, but I don't want them to know it. ---------------------------------------------------- Lawyer: Tell us about the fight. Witness: I didn't see no fight. Lawyer: Well, tell us what you did see. Witness: I went to a dance at the Turner house, and as the men swung around and changed partners, they would slap each other, and one fellow hit harder than the other one liked and so the other one hit back and somebody pulled a knife and a rifle that had been hidden under a bed, and the air was filled with yelling and smoke and bullets. Lawyer: You, too were shot in the fracas? Witness: No sir, I was shot midway between the fracas and the navel. ---------------------------------------------------- Defendant: Judge, I want you to appoint me another lawyer. Judge: And why is that? Defendant: Because the Public Defender isn't interested in my case. Judge (to Public Defender): Do you have a comment on the defendant's motion? Public Defender: I'm sorry, Your Honor. I wasn't listening. ---------------------------------------------------- Judge: Please identify yourself for the record. Defendant: Colonel Ebenezer Jackson. Judge: What does the 'Colonel' stand for? Defendant: Well, it's kinda like the 'Honorable' in front of your name - not a damn thing. ---------------------------------------------------- Judge: You are charged with habitual drunkenness. Have you anything to say in your defense? Defendant: Habitual thirstiness? ---------------------------------------------------- Defendant (after being sentenced to 90 days in jail): Can I address the court? Judge: Of course. Defendant: If I called you a son of a bitch, what would you do? Judge: I'd hold you in contempt and assess an additional five days in jail. Defendant: What if I thought you were a son of a bitch? Judge: I can't do anything about that. There's no law against thinking. Defendant: In that case, I think you're a son of a bitch. """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
1*Stephanie Stephenson of Brewster, N.Y., said Sussman's collectors hounded her for $169 three years after she bought a $39 necklace by check from the Home Shopping Network. Stephenson said she had returned the necklace after it arrived broken. 2* FTC staff attorneys Gregory Ashe and Seena Gressin said Sussman and his partners -- his wife, Elisabeth, and lawyer Charles Hutchins -- are not licensed to collect debts in any state. 3* http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/jerse...66981302100.xml picantel ========================== 1*Is it legal to stop payment in these kind of situations? 2*Again this brings up my unanswered question. Is one obligated to pay a debt to an illegal enterprise. 3*Why do CRAs allow CAs to use their services when the they know the CAs operate like this. Also why do creditors use CAs when they know this about them too? Looks to me that the CRAs & OCs are just as guilty as the CAs especially in this case. They need to be brought down right along with this CA. THE END ** *** ** LB 59
Yeow! This guy's a winner. "Stephanie Stephenson of Brewster, N.Y., said Sussman's collectors hounded her for $169 three years after she bought a $39 necklace by check from the Home Shopping Network. Stephenson said she had returned the necklace after it arrived broken. "This message is for the criminal check writer, Stephanie Stephenson," said a message left on her answering machine. "You may need to turn yourself in to the local county sheriff's office." Why can't I get them to leave me a message like that? I never get to have any fun. (pout) LOL
I know it butch I would kill for a message like that on my machine. Usually I am the one abusing the CAs not the other way around. I call them until they are sick and tired of hearing from me. boohoo. Why NCC thought they could get away with it I will never know. I would bet this is typical criminal arrogance that they will not be caught. They were wrong. I am calling on june 9th to the ftc to find out the results of the hearing.
