The Money Store, HomEq, Moss Codilis Rip-off Overcharged Collection and Attorneys Fees CLASS ACTION North Highlands, Sacramento California
On behalf of our client, Joseph Mazzei, we have commenced a class action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York entitled Joseph Mazzei v. The Money Store and TMS Mortgage, Inc. Plaintiff complains that:
The Money Store has engaged in misconduct in connection with servicing and attempting to collect amounts purportedly owed on residential home equity loans.
The Money Store attempts to collect attorneys fees and penalties before any applicable notice of default period expires and before it accelerates payment of amounts allegedly owing.
The Money Store falsely creates the impression that a third party (in this case, the Englewood, Colorado law firm Moss, Codilis) is involved in the collection effort when the debt collector does little more than send out a form letter on behalf of the Money Store.
The Money Store charges amounts for dishonored checks in excess of amounts it is allowed to recover.
The Money Store charges unspecified amounts for expenses of collection and attorneys fees and costs in excess of amounts it is allowed to recover.
If you or someone you know has experienced these or similar problems, and you have an interest in Mr. Mazzeis lawsuit, please contact through the Rip-off Report.*
Thank you,
Mark
New York, New York

Read below why a phone number or link was removed from this Report
*EDitor's Comment
The reason why we have removed links, e-mail address or phone numbers from this report is because people have, in the past, attempted the following, ...all too often.
Posting LINKS
Many times links to unknown web sites will cause your pc to freeze up and /or cause you to get a computer virus, virtually rendering your computer useless. Most of the time, this is the work of a Company or an Individual who has been reported.
Many Government links are no better than the BBB and are just a waste of time, giving you false hope. Many government sites (like the BBB) just collect all information from you, the consumer, but never make that information available, so consumers will NOT be educated as to what exactly they should be looking out for. On the other hand, many government agencies have and do come to the Rip-off Report for information. We have been assisting many government agencies for some time now, including the FBI and Attorney General offices from around the country..
Now that all these Rip-off Reports are out in the open for everyone to see, in a way, this embarrasses these agencies into doing something when they see so many reports on a Company or Individual, because they are now out in the open for all to see. Unfortunately, many (not all) Attorney General Office's and government agencies will not move against a rip-off unless there is going to be some sort of publicity on the rip-off. By reporting your experience on the Rip-off Report, is the next best thing to getting your story on TV or in a newspaper. Most national TV networks and many local TV stations from all around the country come to the Rip-off Report for information they will not get from the BBB, Attorney General office's or any other government agency. Rip-off Report has instigated many local and national stories, resulting in help for victims, in one way or another. Most government agencies will never even bother with rip-offs unless it involves $50,000 or more. Now that the government is cutting back even more dollars for these types of programs, this number will even get higher and we can expect even less to get done, by even less people to work on all these rip-offs.
LAWYERS :
We have also struggled with the following for a long time..
The reason why we delete phone numbers, ..all too often unscrupulous lawyers or individuals posing as lawyers are collecting victims information to only further victimize them. Many times, well-meaning consumers think they are going to collect names and get them to a lawyer who will do something. In every case we have allowed a consumer victim to do this, nothing has ever came of it. Consumers were under the impression that something will be done to get them help. In every case this did nothing but lead the consumer on, further victimizing them, and some consumers were mad at us. We feel it is our responsibility to check the legitimacy of the lawyer before advertising their service on the Rip-off Report.
We will also not allow lawyers to use this web site for free when they will end up taking a large amount of fees, leaving the victim with very little. There are many competent lawyers out there that know how to get the unscrupulous Companies or Individuals who ripped you off, to pay their fees. Those lawyers capable of this can post their numbers after checking with us here at the Rip-off Report.
POSTING YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS:
For similar reasons as mentioned above, we will not allow individuals to post e-mail addresses, so they can be contacted for more info they claim they cannot post. If that person can contact YOU and get the information, so will everyone else be contacting you anyway, and, if it's good enough for them to receive it by contacting you, then you should be able to post that information for everyone to see and know about. And, many times, in an attempt to get your contact information, consumers will leave an email address; this is just a ploy to sell you a product or some other service. Most likely, you will end up on other junk mail lists. ..if they have something to sell, they should place an advertisement showing support to Rip-off Report.com so we can further help consumers.
ADDITIONAL NOTE ...about our advertisers:
As an extra added precaution to our readers, even all our PAID advertisements are checked out to the best of our ability before allowing them to be placed on the Rip-off Report. WE have turned down many advertisers to date. Advertisers on the Rip-off Report know, they are not immune from a Rip-off Report being filed on them. How many times do you see Rip-off companies advertising on TV and in publications when you know there are so many complaints about them!
