Several months ago Hyat Hyat and Landau Garnished my sole bank account, Mind you i live in Pennsylvania. Where I could not pay bills, buy groceries, or anything. Upon talking to the representative of Hyat Hyat and Landau, She " XXXX I believe '' stated that she could not release my bank account from XXXX XXXX XXXX without payment. Even after asking her, if I can not make a payment due to my bank account being seized, How would it be feasible to even make a payment? This ended up in a circle of her and I making the same exact comments. Where I finally asked to speak with a supervisor. She then stated that a supervisor was not available. So, I asked her is the supervisor not available, or not on the site. She then stated that there is no supervisor on site. Instantly I asked during that call that, Is there no supervisor running the call center? She then stated no. Persisting to speak with a supervisor, She then attempted to use a fear tactic, stating that the only person who would be available to speak would be a Hyat, Hyat, and Landau Lawyer. After demanding to speak with said lawyer, I was promptly transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Explaining the situation that I had with the previous employee, He also stated that the accoutn could not be released until Hyat, Hyat, and Landau could verify funds in my bank account, where this could take up to several weeks. Mind you, I live from paycheck to paycheck. Being low on groceries, rent being due in a few weeks, as well as needing other necessities, this was unacceptable. To expidite the mater, asked XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, if I was to screen shot my bank account, If he would accept that as proof there is no additional funds or accounts. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX agreed where I emailed him said screen shots of my sole bank account with XXXX XXXX XXXX. After verifying that there was only my recent payroll deposit of XXXX in my account. I asked XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX if Hyat, Hyat and Landau received all data and voice communications with said account. He stated no. At that time I advised XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, the last tiem I spoke with a XXXX XXXX XXXX representative, I requested that the account to be held with XXXX XXXX XXXX and not a third party debt collector. On a recorded line, the XXXX XXXX XXXX representative, stated that would not be an issue. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX paused for a moment, stated that it could still take a few weeks for Hyat, Hyat, and Landau to notify XXXX XXXX XXXX by mail to release my XXXX XXXX XXXX account. Obviously this not being a viable option, I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX, obtained a fax number from XXXX XXXX, that way any current, or future representative of Hyat, Hyat and Landau can fax a release letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX, to release individuals bank accounts in a timely manor, versus horse and buggy. After my account was released, I reluctantly set up a payment arrangement. As months went by, I would have to call to make a payment, as the Hyat, Hyat and Landau website would not accept or allow me to change my log in credentials. During another call with XXXX, Ever 3 words she would place me on hold, after the fourth time, I abruptly asked if she was too busy to handle my call. She stated that that time, that she was very busy, handling multiple accounts at once. Which led me to pondering, How accurate is the data being entered into the notes of the account when handling several phone calls at once, as she stated. Either way, with previous encounters and current, I was not feeling very confident in dealing with her, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, or Hyat, Hyat and Landau as a business entity. Where again there was correspondence between XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX and myself, where I advised him of this very issue. Flash forward some months ahead, XXXX XXXX started to make themselves noticeable, where on payment calls with Hyat, Hyat, and Landau representatives, I stated that I was falling ill. Even made a point to ask if I was to pass from said XXXX, that the debt would not be passed onto my family. The representative stated that my family would not be effected from said debt. Due to my distrust in Hyat, Hyat and Landau. Thought it was best to vaguely advise XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX via email of health issues, Being sure to advise him that speaking XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX emailed reply wished for a speedy recovery and stated that if I needed to contact anyone I could call one of the Hyat, Hyat and Landau representatives. Odd, considering that I just stated in the very same email I was having issues pain and speaking. Some months after, I have another issues that have become not only extremely XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and work as needed. Namely speaking that my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX while walking. Where I have had no choice to get this checked out. Due to income constraints, could not move forward in proper recovery, where I have been forced to use unorthodox methods to keep XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. To no surprise, I didn't receive any email reply from XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. However, what I did receive was two letters in the mail, one of which being certified. From a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, stating that, Hyat and Hyat and Landau has issued a third set of court proceedings for the XXXX XXXX XXXX debt. Where now a : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is requiring : 3 years of taxes, Pay stubs for the past 6 months, 6 months of banking statements, 1099s, All documents of income including self employment, 6 months worth of mutual and traded funds, Deeds, Apartment leases, Motor Vehicle Certificates of Title, Mortgages, Books of Accounts, Motor Vehicle Registration cards, Stock Certificates, Bonds, Securities, Promissory Notes, Contracts of Agreements, Documents Evidencing debts owed to you. Also find it concerning that Hyat, Hyat and Landau have leterage stating that they own a XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX Debt. Yet, they're choosing to focus solely on the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for court proceedings. While ignoring the XXXX XXXX debt, which another debt collector is also attempting to collect on. Another concern, If debt collectors where not attempting to be deceptive : Why do they require individuals to answer their phones, where the caller ID displays : Spam Likely. Where in the event that one does answer the call, when asked who they are, it's always this is important business information pertaining to said individual. And if you follow that up with the question of, Who are you calling in behalf of, Hyat, Hyat, and Landau like any other debt collecting business, always rebuttals with something along the lines of important financial information. Requiring name, address, entire social security number before proceeding into a potential scam, or donation call. I mean what is so hard for Hyat, Hyat and Landau to list their business name on the caller ID, State who they are calling in behalf of, as well as the name of their company, and the employees name first, before proceeding. As this would invoke a trusted communication. Note Worthy, when Spam Likely calls are rejected, or not answered because at work. Why is it companies like Hyat Hyat and Landau never leave a message to call their business name and number. And if they where to call a family members home number, which they have, They will only stop calling that number after the name on their account states that the other number does not belong to you.
09/15/2018	Yes	Debt collection Credit card debt	Took or threatened to take negative or legal action Collected or attempted to collect exempt funds	NJ 07111	Web
REQUEST FOR ASAP ASSISTANCE AS I AM LEFT BROKE AT THE HANDS OF OFFICERS OF THE COURT - This is a complete shame that I have to write this complaint as a last resort, but my financial health is currently at risk. I was contacted bu people that are supposed to be licensed practitioners for our judicial system, Hayt, Hayt & Landau about a debt owed from XXXX XXXX ( which I later learned was from an unauthorized account opened by my ex wife ). Regardless of that, I spoke with people from Hayt in XX/XX/2018 to set up an auto payment arrangement to resolve this debt. I gave them my bank card information, and each month, around the XXXX, as of XXXX, they debuted the agreed upon monies. I went to the bank Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX to see I have {$0.00} in my account, which I knew was wrong because I just was paid that Friday. This Wednesday I visited my bank and it was then that you learned that I learned that there was a levy on my account placed by Hayt, Hayt & Landau, the same people that I made a payment arrangement with in XXXX. I immediately called the Hayt and spoke with XXXX at their office who told me the levy was placed because I missed the XXXX payment. I reminded her that I had set up auto payments with them, so there couldnt have been a missed payment. She then said it showed that a failed attempt by me to make an online payment is what triggered the levy, to which I said, that is inaccurate since I set up the auto payment. The bank manager immediately began reviewing my account for the debits each month, and found the debits each month, except for XX/XX/2018 ; which I informed XXXX. She then stated she would investigate by Friday, XX/XX/2018, but when I called Friday to get a status update on the investigation, I was given an update that indicated they, again, didnt do as agreed. Additionally, once I learned they had put a levy on my account, I began researching the laws of New Jersey related to freezing ones account. It was at that time that I discovered that there is an exemption in the state of New Jersey that prevents creditors from accessing anyones personal goods ( money included ) up to {$1000.00}, i.e., Hayt has illegally frozen monies they were, by law, prevented from doing. The intent behind NJ statute 2A:17-19 is to ensure that New Jersey residents are not left without any monies to survive, which is what has occurred right now. Also, Hayt was legally obligated to place in the mail a copy of the Writ which they served on my bank, the same day they served it on my bank, which I have yet to receive, so yet another violation of my rights by Hayt. New Jersey statutes are clear on the procedures surrounding judgments, writs, etc., so what is being done by Hayt is unacceptable and has left me without means to pay bills, eat, or contribute to household expenses without having to request delayed payments from my other creditors and borrow money from family and loved ones. In an attempt to get this resolved, I faxed XXXX, at Hayt, a copy of all my bank statements that show the debits by them from XXXX to XXXX, while also showing them that no debits were made by them in XXXX. I also informed them of the exemption in the state of New Jersey which requires them to immediately unfreeze my monies, to which I have not received a response to that, either. I needed assistance in getting this resolved as I am literally without any money unless I am able to get it from family, which is embarassing and unacceptable when this is due to bad practice by people that are barred to follow the law. Please help me resolve this since this law firm chooses not to do the right thing. It is Saturday, XX/XX/XXXX, and I have yet to see a copy of the Writ, which I will ensure to contest with the Court, upon receipt ( they were legally obligated to make sure it was sent out to me ).
01/10/2019	Yes	Debt collection Credit card debt	Took or threatened to take negative or legal action Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit	PA 19144	Web
I recently received a letter in the mail on XX/XX/XXXX from an outside independent legal entity notifying me that I was being sued by XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding a credit card account that was filed in XXXX Circuit Court on XX/XX/XXXX. I would like to make the CFPB aware of this occurrence as I never received a formal document from XXXX/XXXX XXXX notifying me of the possibility of a default judgment or documentation demonstrating the suit that was filed in the XXXX Municipal/Circuit Court for period XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. I would like be contacted by a representative of either/or both XXXX XXXX & XXXX XXXX XXXX via phone or email in order to facilitate a mutually beneficial payment arrangement as I would like to avoid a potential default judgment as I do not have any available PTO to attend the legal proceeding scheduled for XX/XX/XXXX and also do not have additional funds available to pay for legal representation. Latest updates are that I never received a letter from Hayt Hayt and Landau regarding in XXXX as referenced in XXXX letter of response ( attached ) to my initial request to create a payment arrangement which was submitted through CFPB - and if I had not been contacted by an outside legal entity that I would not be aware that a court case was entered against my name. As a result of this discovery I have repeatedly reached out to Hayt Hayt Landau and have left voicemail messages with XXXX XXXX and also physically spoken to a team member that promised they would have the attorney on the case call me back or email me on XX/XX/XXXX ; XX/XX/XXXX ; XX/XX/XXXX ; XX/XX/XXXX ; XX/XX/XXXX ; XX/XX/XXXX ; XX/XX/XXXX ; XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I still have not received a call/ voicemail message or an email in response to my request to create a payment arrangement. As I have not been given a file number yet due to no one reaching out to me - I am unable to establish a payment arrangement or initiate a payment. Can someone please advise me on whether I should initiate a payment arrangement with XXXX if Hayt Hayt Landau does not contact me via email/phone or respond to my phone calls prior to the XX/XX/XXXX court date? I do not have vacation/leave available to go to court or additional money available for legal representation and would like to establish and arrangement in order to resolve this issue. If I am unable to resolve this issue a judgment would put me into an even more arduous financial situation. I will continue to call Hayt Hayt Landau as I would like to establish an arrangement as soon as possible. Please Advise.

12/12/2018	Yes	Debt collection Credit card debt	Took or threatened to take negative or legal action Threatened to sue you for very old debt	PA 185XX	Web
My son, has been on SS benefits since he was 8 years old, he has XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX so I am writing this out for him. He got a credit card back in XX/XX/2008 and I was paying on it. He had a run in of problems and couldn't pay any longer. Through the years we got phone calls, letters to pay XXXX XXXX. Years ago an attorney firm of Hayt, Hayt and Landau contacted us, made everything look legal, but still my son said can not pay. Just a week ago, I received this deposition notice that they want him to appear at the Bar Association where we live with all kinds of paperwork, proof of income, property, etc. All he has is one vehicle and we share one junked vehicle. Now today I get a FINAL NOTICE from the USPS that there is a large package that has to be picked up. We are home everyday, no post officer knocked on the door for a signature, he just put the slip in the mail box. I wrote them on their website ( Contact Us ) and told them, he is on SS, this is a very old debt, not on his credit report ( which I just checked yesterday ) and to stop harassing us. We do not have anything else, as myself, and my other son are also on Social Security. I am my son 's rep payee and he says he will not pay an old debt. They can not garnish federal benefits if this is a time barred debt. If this makes it to the Magistrate, then so be it, we will make payments. But they have been harassing us for years, I had to get a phone system that blocks callers. I read on the net that this company has gone to many lengths to collect a debt. If this is something we definately need to take care of, I need to know. I will talk to my son but it will have to be a very low payment every month and they can bring it down 30 %. I am afraid to talk with them on the phone and my son won't.
