WOW! Talk about a
long, hard fall…LGB&S used to known as a class act in the debt collection area.
They represented cities & municipalities collecting on property taxes, enjoying
a stellar reputation for many years.
Until now! What I understand is that LGB&S
wanted to expand, so when the IRS announced about two years ago that they would
be employing private debt collection organizations to collect delinquent federal
taxes they lined up, along with dozens of other collectors.
Not surprising that LGB&S made the final cut,
were ready to go, had committed resources and expected a sizeable addition to
their bottom line as IRS collectors. The IRS received a lot of criticism from
taxpayers and lawmakers on using private collectors and after a long hard
debate, the plug was pulled, leaving many of the finalists with a lot of people
and equipment, but nothing to collect.
So somebody came up with the idea of
collecting for bottom feeders, vultures and junk debt buyers, which smelled like
BIG money to LGB&S, who jumped at the chance. One of their first clients and the
reason they made this list is who they decided to represent; they could NOT have
made a worse choice than:
NORTH STAR CAPITAL ACQUISITIONS,
CORP. Aka/ZENITH ACQUISITIONS, CORP.
Two Buffalo, NY area bottom feeders with one
of the WORST reputations in the industry.
Lawyers who represent consumers being sued by
North Star Capital Acquisitions and Zenith Acquisitions have told me their
pleadings are as bad as they get. Now we find out that LGB&S is using those same
phony documents to file cases for them.
What a way to taint your reputation and ruin
all the years of hard work by good lawyers who work there. A recent filing by
Texas Attorney Lori Gruver Robertson made me wonder how she ever made it through
law school. To say her filing was a joke is a…well… A JOKE! Lori missed
the mark by about (at least) a hundred miles.
Her paperwork wouldn’t make it in Law School
101, let alone a Texas court, she must be thinking about default judgments
because any consumer attorney or judge would laugh at her incredible lack of
expertise or knowledge of the law.
