September  2009    Just want to let you know they are still at their games. I was contacted sept 04 2009 the # on the caller id shows as Cignarale Law office 716-651-0182 but when you call they say they are with Giove law office new address is 5100 Transit Rd Depew, NY. Said they needed to get my spouse statement on a civil matter from initial phone call, never advise it was attempt to collect a debt. New person sending emails and letters is Paulette Siregy (sp?) Oh and they were retained by The Viking Group Inc.. anyone ever heard of them no info about the group via the web...

July 2009    ATTORNEY GENERAL CUOMO SUES TO THROW OUT OVER 100,000 FAULTY JUDGMENTS ENTERED AGAINST NEW YORK CONSUMERS IN NEXT STAGE OF DEBT COLLECTION INVESTIGATION  GIOVE Included

April 2009    Cambridge Huxley & Associates, LLC   3840 E Robinson Rd Ste 243   Amherst, NY 14228
866-376-4180    866-878-8873    Moya S. Kovic, President   Rodney A. Giove, Attorney Co-Owner NOT a law firm.  Pill poppers & dope smokers collecting payday loans with threats of arrest, jail and judgments. Typical Buffalo B.S. debt collectors  THEY WILL NOT FILE ANY SUITS! SAVE YOUR MONEY!

April 2009    I contacted the payday loan place that Cambridge, Huxley, and Associates stated retained them to collect money from me to find out that the company is a total fraud. The Payday Loan agency collected the information and told to contact my local police dept. I made sure I put in a complaint just in case my information is misused/stolen/fraudulently used.

March 2009    I WORKED AT GIOVE LAW FOR A LITTLE WHILE THEY ARE A BUNCH OF SCAMMERS. NOBODY THERE FOLLOWS THE FDCPA. THEY HIRE ANYBODY OFF THE STREET THEY SIT AND GET DRUNK WHILE WORKING AND PEOPLE EVEN SMOKE WEED IN THEIR OFFICES WHILE WORKING

March 2009    Back in September I contacted you in regards to an account from Unistates, I expressed that I could not contact them and they would not  return my calls or answer a certified letter. I just want to let you  know that I have disputed the debt on my credit report and with in 4  days it came back deleted off my credit report. I don't know if it has  any thing to do with their current bankruptcy but it is good news and I  thought you might like to know about success stories with this company.

March 2009   I'VE BEEN IN THE COLLECTION INDUSTRY FOR OVER 5 YEARS --I HAVE MADE A VERY GOOD LIVING OFF MY PROFESSION, HOWEVER , I WAS EMPLOYED FOR ONE MONTH AT GIOVE LAW OFFICE ON TRANSIT RD. WHEN THEY FAILED TO RELEASE OUR CHECKS TO ALL THE EMPLOYEES ON PAYDAY, I HEARD FROM ANOTHER OFFICE THE RODNEY GIOVE DIDN'T HAVE THE FUNDS IN THE ACCOUNT TO PAY HIS EMPLOYEES AND THAT'S WHY THEY WERE HOLDING OUR CHECKS. I THEN INFORMED CO-WORKERS OF WHAT I HEARD, THE SECRETARY OVER-HEARD ME AND THE NEXT DAY I WAS FIRED BECAUSE OF IT. I GOT FIRED FOR LETTING CO-WORKERS KNOW THE TRUTH. ITS OK BECAUSE THAT PLACE WAS A SCAM JOKE ANYWAYS.

November 2008   I have had 3 calls where someone from Giove Law Firm left a message. They have threatened me w/ civil suit in my county. I have not received any documentation or explanation to what the debt is for. Bud Hibbs told me not to call them and wait for something in writing. I think they may have contacted my parents, but not totally sure since my parents didn't keep the name of the company.  It's annoying and Ms. Kapatani (sp?) is trying to annoy and threaten me w/ lawsuit to get me to respond. I have not contacted them in anyway. Ms Kapatani said they (Giove) was retained (doesn't say by whom?) to press suit. (You know these guys have filed bankruptcy. Why would anyone pay them anything?)

September 2008   Despite my attempts to request that these folks contact me in writing about their complaint, they refuse to do so and hang up on me after a few minutes of yelling at me about the fact that they have the legal right to call me at whatever phone number they have listed.

They are calling my parents, my employer, and my personal phone. While it is the case that I can screen my phone calls on my personal phone, I cannot do the same for my folks or for my employer. My mother, although recognizing that this is a scam, is stressed out by their calls and threatening messages. The receptionist at my employer is receiving regular messages and they are leaving messages on my office voicemail (and my office phone is shared!!).

August 2008   Sam and Eric Archie have left capital recovery aka north American asset recovery aka Giove law office and have headed over to disrupt Elite Recovery, kim davis is the only manager Tony and vinnie have and she's on coke most of the time and gets her car re-poed. Someone should alert her to the dangers of High Fructose Corn Syrup which is the base for the sweetener in most modern colas.

July 2008   Rodney and girl friend Shannon Dils now own Greater Niagara Holdings, 90 Cartwright Dr., #2, Williamsville, NY 14221.716-568-8015. They recently moved in to new home at 6753 Gregory Lane, Wheatfield, NY. They are manufacturing their own documents to cover new debts they purchased, all are lies, nothing they say has any validity. They are using Cohen & Slamowitz to sue in New York, an attorney network for the rest. Rodney and Shannon designed their talk off which is supposed to bring in more money than before, they say it's okay for collectors to break the law. They are making more money than ever, judgments are pilling up in the thousands.

Rodney hired a rookie attorney Annmarie E. Steward, who he keeps on a short leash to do his dirty work. She's not the brightest lawyer you will ever meet, but she works okay for Rodney and Shannon who calls most of the shots. Annmarie had no experience before this, nice lady, just not that smart.

Debtors need to know that all of the documents and credit bureau reporting are baseless. They have nothing to back any of it up. Any attorney who comes after them gets a dismissal and removal of all items from the credit bureaus. Rodney has said over and over that he will never allow a suit to expose any of his records. This is a house of cards ready to fall with the right push, so go after them.

July 2008   Do you know who these people are. They threatened me they were filing suit on me on Wednesday at the courthouse, but I could avoid prosecution if I settled with them today. They also called my previous address which was my parents because I am a teacher and had my mail forwarded to my parents during the summer. I know that they can't garnish my wages so good luck with all that. I did a reverse number search so that I could send them a dispute letter which is already on file as disputed on my credit report for the company in which they bought the debt from, which coincidentally listed the debt as new in January of this year. the number is 866-878-8873

Douglas R. Burgess  Thank you so much for this information. I received a call from the law office just tonight. The person identified himself as a legal assistant working on my case. When he identified the original creditor, I explained that I disputed this claim three years ago and that I didn't hear from the creditor since. I asked lots of questions that he could not answer, he threatened to file litigation against me and said that I would be arrested. He also stated that he was giving me a courtesy call about this matter and that I had until Friday to send him the green card that I received from the US Post office and a copy of the letter and my back up information that I used three years ago when I disputed the claim.

The guy demanded that I send him all of this information but he failed to tell me where to send it before he ended the call. I had to call the office back to find out where I should send this information and all they gave me was a fax number (716)282-3345. I was so relieved to see all of this information on your site.

I waited about 20 minutes and returned the all. The representative answered and told me that I had this account due and needed to pay it. I told him that I had made the arrangements before and wanted to continue them. He said he had to call to confirm that I was still allowing them to pull out the amount from my account on a monthly base. I confirmed that I was still doing this. I then asked for paper work again, he said he would send it to my immediately. When I told him someone claimed that there was a warrant out of my arrest and told me I need to call immediately. He told me, 'No one from this office would do this' I let it slide.  Two years went by and things were getting tight financial. I still had not received any paper work from them, and had lost the phone number for the account. I wanted to ask the company if I could get a month or two grace period. After all I had been paying $114.83 for 40 months and figured they would let me slide a month or two. Since I had no way of contacting them. I then contacted my bank and asked them to stop all payments to this company. Believe it or not I had to make the request three times before my bank complied. It seemed the company contacted my bank and told them that they still had my permission to take funds from my account. Now a year has gone by and want to guess who is calling me again?

My 73 year old parents were just contacted today by a Mr. Shapiro who claimed to be an attorney trying to "find" me. I have lived at the same address and had the same published phone # for years. When I called this man back he claimed he was an attorney representing an ancient account I once had. He informed me that they were in the process of filing a lawsuit against me and would have my wages garnished. He further went on to state that if I refused to make payment in full, he would "call the sheriff's department and have a warrent issued for intent to defraud". When he finally let me say something I told him I was calling on a recorded line and that I believe he had jut broken the law, because he can't file criminal charges on a civil matter. Then I went on to tell him that the matter was resolved when I filed bankruptcy. He proceeded to tell me that I needed to provide him with all the details of the bankruptcy as well as the list of creditors included. I told him the original account holder was notified and for him to call them, that I wasn't telling them anything else.

After researching I found your web site and I have to tell you that they gave me a different address and fax# than you have for them. It is Giove Law Office 636 N. French Drive, Suite #3, Amherst, New York 14228. Their fax # is 716-568-2990 and their phone # is 866-326-3328.

just left your website and read it from start to finish. I LOVE what you've done! I was contacted by Giove scum bags just the other day looking for payment on a debt that isn't even mine.

Fortunately, I am somewhat educated in these matters, but your info taught me more about it. It is unbelievable that these criminals get away with what they are doing. They refused to validate the debt. Some bitch at the office threatened to have me served the following day. Lied about having my signature on the original contract. Didn't even have the right credit card company name until some other scum bag corrected it.

Lied about being an attorney. Lied, lied, lied. I am not the least bit afraid of them nor am I stupid enough to give them any personal info. Lo and behold a letter came from their office today looking for $8,000.00. Dispute letter went out today, of course.

I would love to sue these bastards and may very well. Your site is wonderful, thanks for helping us keep money from these low life scum bags.  Thanks for the great info.

I think this site is funny... It's people like you that give me job security.. I mean.. where else can a 22 year old with no college make more money then both their parents combined....!!! Maybe if you people stopped using credit cards that you can't pay for... you wouldn't need websites like this.. So, think of this, while sitting on your furniture you never paid for and using tv in your little trailer you live in... just remember... I'll be waking you up at 8am ... everyday... !!! Just think of me as your new alarm clock with a broken snooze button... luv ya! mwah!

Thanks to Mr. Hibbs, I've learned a tremendous amount of information about Giove and associates. I've filed legal and criminal complaints against this SUPER-bogus company with the NY state attorney general, the Niagara county district attorney, the VA Attorney General, the NTC, and the local NY office of the attorney general. I am pleased to announce that the Niagara County district attorney Mathew j. Murphy, Assistant DA Timothy Linquist and investigators Brooks and Schintzius are actively pursuing my case. I have a mound of paperwork to accomplish as a result, but it is good to see a proactive stance. Please contact EVERYBODY to put down these thugs! In addition, I am pursuing civil action (BIG lawsuit) based upon everything I've been through and learned, which is all you have read and witnessed for yourself. Should anyone want to share in the riches of tearing down this creature of horrid manipulation, please contact me. I believe If we have 10 people, or 100 people to file a joint suit it would make a more powerful case, and put Giove in the poor house forever, which is where he belongs. I'm willing to go all the way...are you? Did his thugs contact your elderly mother with repo of her home? Did they disrupt your work? Bad rap you? I'm there, and I want you beside me. Mr. Hibbs, thank you, we have him crawling under a rock and we need to keep the momentum, please provide civil legal reference and let's get this momentum on a steep roll!

A relative of mine was contacted by the Giove Law Office and told about an alleged debt that I had. The Giove employee stated that they were trying to help me avoid trouble and that a court date was nearing for me. After contacting their office and told that I had to pay over $1,000 immediately, I looked up the FDCPA and also found Mr. Hibbs' website. To make a long story short the people at Giove's office lie, lie, lie and attempt to intimidate. Thanks to my tape recorder and a lawyer who required no up front fee, Giove settled for $3,500 right before Christmas. This was however less than they agreed to in writing---the check they sent was less than it should have been, but I was ready to be done with them. Please keep my e-mail and phone private. Thanks

I reported Giove to both the FTC and the NY Bar for contacting me about a friend's supposed debt and trying to tell me that I was a co-signer on her account. The "associate was Jeffrey Mayer and he made numerous harassing calls to both my friend and myself and was very threatening and intimidating to her and tried the same kind of tactics with me. I received a response from the NY Bar Attorney Grievance Committee who indicated that they were forwarding my complaints to Mr Giove. Today I received a response from Mr Giove. It would appear that Mr Mayer has magically decided to obtain employment elsewhere and is unable to answer any specific complaints, but Mr Giove "assures everyone that his "associates are "constantly trained and monitored to comply with the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act and all other applicable federal and state laws." I will be keeping this treasured missive on file should it be needed for future action against Mr Giove and his "associates...and because it's a good fairy tale on sleepless nights.

Bud's Response: When I get letters like this it makes everything I do so worth it to me. I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their submissions to the site. It is so refreshing to see people taking charge of their lives instead of becoming victims to these scavengers. Keep them coming, they make my day.

This Rodney Anthony Giove is a real d***! I worked there for awhile, all they do is lie and beat up people. He ain't never been in a courtroom in years, he's really kinda dumb. Tell everyone not to pay him, all they do is lie. Giove is a bum, just looking for bucks, broads and booze. He's a piece of sh*t! Too stupid to do anything legal, cares only about his image, has a huge ego. This guy is a loser's loser!
