Nelson & Kennard

They are still trying to collect on an old debt that is 10 years old

We put our accounts into consolidation, for some reason the stupid consolidation didn’t take care of it. All of sudden these guys sue me. For years they never wanted to negotiate, after they bought my debt for probably pennies on the dollar. I know everyone has a sob story, and here is mine. I am a stay at home mother of 3 kids. 2 of them have special needs. These people thought it would be cute to levy my account right before the holidays. They took all of my savings and checking. We decided to let them have it, in hopes that they would negotiate with us and at least TRY and work with us. Instead they drag the case on longer, so they can accrue more interest and then tell us that they will not budge. It isn’t fair because the debt is now WAY MORE than it originally was when we put it in consolidation. People like this must not have families of their own, or not give a damn about people in general. This is why I have a hard time liking people at all… because of people like YOU. I hope you get great satisfaction draining people of their life savings. now we are draining our children’s savings as well just to get you off of our backs! You are terrible people, the ratings say it all.

This fake law firm is nothing more than a group of inexperienced debt collectors. Take them to court and fight any judgment they have against you. They make so many clerical errors its embarrassing. Tried to sue me for a case I paid 20 years ago and their bookkeeper made a clerical error and did not include the interest. So 10 years later they tried to sue me. Fight them all the way, they are crooks and a stupid crook is the worst. Uneducated losers.

They took my elderly parents money because the person in charge of his money was a signer on his account. It was not his debit. It was another family member who is on his account as a signer to help him pay his bills.

You really have to watch these guys. Not only do they not follow the law, they hire inexperienced attorneys who don’t know what they’re doing. I was sued by them about 10 years ago. They filed suit against me for not paying a credit card bill. Unfortunately for them, I had followed legal protocol and had written to the original creditor many times disputing a portion of the bill. They never responded as is required by law and hired N&K. I answered their lawsuit, answered their discovery however, they refused to answer any of the discovery I sent them. Literally, the night before the trial, the senior partner called me and I told him I intended to be at trial the next morning and if they did not sent an atty down with a dismissal or hire local counsel to file one, I would be filing a cross complaint against them for harassment that day in court and serving them with it. Needless to say, they dismissed the suit, but that doesn’t remove all the time and trouble it took for me to do the legal work. After that, I contacted their client, informed them of what this firm had done and how it harassed me and the original creditor ended up sending me a mid 4 figure settlement instead of their being named in the suit as well. My advice to anyone who’s been sued by this firm is to fight them IF your case is righteous and you can defend it. If you haven’t been properly served, then fight it. If you don’t have the legal ability to do it yourself, then hire an atty to do it for you. It will cost you, but it may be less to pay a proper atty than to pay what they say you owe them. They’re totally ignorant and my husband just got a letter from them the other day on one of his credit cards. Needles to say, the attorney hasn’t even been licensed to practice law 2 years. Your first job out of law school says a lot about you and if your first job is a collection agency, you’ve hit the legal glass ceiling and aren’t going anywhere. My advice, regardless, is to get a free consult with a local atty and work something out with the creditor, fight back if they’re wrong or try to mitigate your damages financially by filling out their financial form indicating you have no income to pay them and you are judgment proof.

My case was dismissed in court and I continuosly get hassarssing phone calls fron one of Nelson and Kinnards Debt collectors. Do they think they do not have to go by a court of law judement?

Tried to sue me over an account that was paid and CLOSED. Completely agree, SCUM BAGS!

Asshole attorneys who represent a company (Livingston Financial LLC) whom in which buy old debt from the ORIGINAL creditor, then hire this asshole to harras, garnish, and serve lawsuits to the debtor. SCUM BAG ATTORNEYS should not be allowed to practice this kind of law.
