Complaint Review: Rubin & Rothman

Rubin & Rothman has unethically froze my account.

I was unaware that they were in the process of a court hearing. I never received any court papers at all. I was surprised and shocked when I notice my bank account being over drafted. I called the bank, and I was told there was a restraint on the account. 5 days later, I received a letter from the bank with a front page copy of a restraint letter from Rubin & Rothman. What was disturbing is that they had received judgement against me, but they served papers on an address that I have not lived in over 2 years.

When I called to question the judgement, I was told that I signed the court hearing papers that was served. How could I? I live in at a totally different address. My bank knew it, the credit card company knew it, why didn't Rubin & Rothman know it?

Although my account is frozen with the amount in it, they are still adding interest to my account. I feel they are keeping my account in restraint to add additional charges.

The representatives were abusive to say the least, especially a "Mr Cashman." The first contact, I tried to explain my situation with the court action. He immediately interrupted me and screamed, " I want the short version, not the long one." He also screamed, " This really doesn't matter, you owe the money, let's talk about you paying this money." I don't care about what you are saying, tell me about paying off this debt," he yelled. His tone and his words were extremely abusive. We didn't have the opportunity to talk about the business at hand, because I was shocked and appalled that I was being spoken to this way. I had to put my finance on the phone, because I felt so victimized. Once I put another man on the phone, he seem to calm down.

I would love to take this company to court, because of their tactics, and how they falsified my information to freeze my account. If anyone else has been victimized by this company, please respond.
