Weltman, Weinber, And Reis Haunt Down And Collect Old Debts From Columbus Oh They will collect all debts. ripoff Columbus Ohio
In August 1998 while serving in the US Navy I purchased a car from Ford. I had my payments taken directly out from my military pay for over 2 years never late not once. In November 2000 I got out of the military and directed the dispersing clerk to take My seperation pay of $3600 and pay to Ford.
I found out on Feb 14th 2001 thats was not done when FORD repossed my car with no warning at all. I filed a police report and then call Ford about it. They told me that they had repossed it because I didnt pay. When I asked how to get it back they gave no information. I finally got my Separation pay in May 2001 when I contacted DFAS. I had no further contact from Ford until I saw that there was a balance of over $12k listed on my credit report in February of 2006 I contact them and they said sorry we forget to take off the amount the vehicle was sold for off the balance.
Then in August I get a letter in the Mail from Weltman, Weinberg, And Reis threatening to sue me. I contact them and then in September I set up a payment plan with them through Freedon Point. After each payment was made I would get a harrasing phone call saying $150 was not enough. They kept switching my file over to other attorneys to call me. I stop Freedom point and starting mailing in the payments and they have refused to cash them.
Now they are sueing me for the 7100 dollars plus they have now decided to add the last five years of interest on. They are some dishonest people.

Here's something for you to think about, it may apply for you or maybe not, or someone else reading this.
Under Ohio Law (O.R.C. 2305.03) Laspse of time a bar; action accruing outside Ohio.
Basically, If the SOL of limitation expired in another state and you move to ohio, which has a longer SOL, They can not bring an action in court against you, also Ohio doesn't has tolling Statute, that stops the clock when you leave the state.
If since 1998 you moved to another state, You might want to make the agruement, that the sol expired before you can back to Ohio.

Unfortunately as well, the statute of limitations is 15 years in Ohio (the longest in the country I think). True, this company is just some rip off collectors posing as lawyers. I would talk to an attorney if I were you.

Never trust anyone but yourself in making your payments

For future reference, never rely on anyone else to pay an obligation for you when you have something to lose.
You should have continued to make your payments as scheduled until you actually recieved your separation pay. Then YOU should have paid them off.
After all, FORD had a contract with YOU, NOT DFAS.

This company will pursue you, bully you, and refuse to work with you for as long as they hold your debt. If they take you to court and get a judgment against you, they will want more money. In addition, they have no problem garnishing your wages, going after your bank accounts, and looking for any assets that you may have that they can get their hands on. Show up in court, fight the costs that you can, and make sure that you take proof of those payments for the judge to see (it shows effort on your part, and show what WWR does to people.) If your agreement to pay was in writing, take that with you too. This shows that they agreed to a certain amount of money, and will make it more difficult to get the judge to rule in their favor when they refuse your payments and attempt to garnish your accounts.
Good Luck, and please keep us updated.
