Daniels & Norelli P.C. froze my debit account where I get my income from work to support my son and I. Westbury New York
On 10/19/06 I went to check the balance of my checking account online. Mind you I opened my account on 10/6/06 with $25. It said I had -8,391.82. The checking account I have is with Bank Of America. I called them. They told me my account was on a froze and that there was a contact number, 516-338-7520. I called them. It was a law firm. I still didn't know what was going on. George Norelli told me that citibank had sewed me for a credit card purchased made in 98. That I mad the purchse of 3000. This was a lie. He said if I paid 5000, that they would unfreeze the account. I am a single mom living in the projects. I make 400 every 2 weeks. Where was I going to get 5000 and of something I don't owe. I decided to call citibank. They looked up my social security, name and address. They said they saw nothing in their system showing I owe them or had any credit card. The lady checked twice to make sure, but nothing. I called the lawyers again and told them that I called citibank and that they could not find anything about me oweing them. He told me that Citibank sold information of people who owe money to the people they are representing Colorado Capital Investments. They are located at 305 n e loop 820 ste 604, Hurst, TX, 76053. Their phone number is 817-595-4095. I asked him to give me the account number that I supposedly owed money on. This is the account he gave me 4128-0032-3211-4192. I called citibank again. They looked up that account and still found nothing. She said thats's a strange account number. That it seem like it was from a card number, but if it was and I owed something, it would have showed something with the account I gave her, but their was nothing. I took out a credit report. It seems someone had been using my info. They had all these different names and addresses, even jobs that I never heard of. I decided to calll Colorado Capital Investments today. They told me that it was something I owed from 94-98. But that he couldn't help me because the lawyers owned this case. They bought it off Colorado Capital Investments. Something is going on here. Everything sounds funny to me. Everyone is giving me different information.

Maria,
This sounds like a case of identity theft and you need to get an attorney. Since you say you are a single mom living in the projects you might want to see if some of the law schools in the city have a "law clinic" or something like that. NYU Law School is in the city and I believe Columbia has a law school. You really do need to check around and find some place that has legal services they can offer to low income people.

A Levy/Garnishment has been placed on your bank account. The first thing you need to do is stop any direct deposit you have to that bank and open an account at an entirely different bank.
Next. Go to the original bank. They have copies of the levy that was served on your account and should provide them to you. On the levy (it is a court order) will be a court address and case number.
Go to the clerk of the court and obtain copies of the entire court file. Look for documents indicating "Proof of Service". This will tell you how and where the creditor/lawyer states they gave you notice (subpoena or summons) of a court hearing.
What has likely happened: The creditor/lawyer served you at a bad address. They filed a lawsuit and your notice was sent via a process server to an address they will claim is the most recent they had for you. The process server either gave the notice to the current resident or tacked it to the door, mailing a copy to the same address.
If you never had notice and if you did not reside at that address you MIGHT be able to file to have the judgement vacated for bad service.
