THAT'S WHY YOU NEED TO GO TO WWW.BUDHIBBS.COM ASAP GO THE WEBSITE ABOVE ASAP - YOU WILL GET THE ADVICE YOU NEED TO FIGHT THEM What Budd Hibbs has posted about Arrow Financial Arrow is hard to gauge these days. They slip in and out of our list of America's Worst Agencies and from one day to the next, you don't know what type of agency you'll be encountering. Consumers and attorneys tell us Arrow routinely and illegally changes date of last activity on credit reports, file lawsuits on time barred debts, and manufacture bogus documents for court filings. If you are a victim of the Arrow Financial Services scam and want to take action, here are the people who are involved: Jack Lavin, President and CEO Lavin has served as President and CEO of Arrow since 1995. Michael Valentino, Exec Vice President & CFO Ronald Lavin, Exec Vice President & COO Ron Lavin is responsible for overseeing Arrow's recovery operations across its four nationwide call centers. Brian Cutler, Exec Vice President & CTO Jeff Chen, Senior VP, Risk Management Don Lupo, VP, Finance & Capital Markets Steven C. Wilansky, House Counsel, VP Barry Feierstein, VP, Bus Devp & Marketing Joe Freda - Vice President and Controller Freda is responsible for Arrow's accounting, financial reporting and cash management functions. Mark Cavin - VP, Portfolio Management responsible for Arrow's portfolio inventory across all of its operations. Paul Kottmer, VP, Human Resources is responsible for the management and development of Arrow's corporate and call center human resources departments. Why does Arrow have such a TERRIBLE reputation? Arrow buys old debts for almost nothing, then goes after unsuspecting consumers with the usual threats of litigation, seizure, garnishment, etc. They have been know to illegally change information on credit reports (dates of last activity) make false statements on court cases and the other entire debt collector B.S. you hear and deal with on a daily basis. Why would an organization like Arrow consistently involve themselves in illegal activity? Because it is a BIG money maker. Bottom feeders such as Arrow have the mentality that no matter what the circumstances were in acquiring debts, that they are entitled to a return on their investment. Nothing could be further from the truth. The laws governing debt collection and credit bureau reporting are explicit in what entities like Arrow can do. Changing the dates of last activity on a credit bureau report, (something that Arrow regularly engages in) is illegal and consumers can take actions against Arrow and the credit bureaus that allow it. REAL lawyers can assist you in going after Arrow Financial to protect your rights. Furthermore, Arrow's bogus court filings can be challenged by professionals. Consumers MUST understand that any pleadings by a bottom feeder AFTER they have purchased a defaulted account are hearsay and not admissible in court proceedings. Arrow employees will lie on affidavits and pleadings with statements they could never have any knowledge of. These lies and bogus filings should be challenged at every chance, they will never hold up. Consumers are encouraged to have their attorneys go after Arrow employees, make them testify to the truthfulness of their statements, watch them run, watch the cases be dismissed. See how many Arrow employees will NOT commit perjury for their employer. This is an excellent way to stop these phony pleadings and filings. On your credit reports, challenge any and every entry placed on a credit bureau report by Arrow. In order to go after them and the credit bureaus, you MUST first challenge their reporting. That will take away their defense when you file legal actions for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Arrow makes a LOT of money, you are entitled to some of it under federal law when they violate the law and your rights. The more lawsuits filed against Arrow, the better. Collection agency hit with record fine

In my original report I stated that my husband had an account with a credit card company. It was apparently sold to at least two more companies. It may be beyond the statute of limitations. We do not know. I still believe that this information about the original debtor, and correct account number should have been provided in the original complaint. I also believe they still need to provide proof that it is my husbands debt along with the date of the last payment made. They did not provide full discovery. I believe they need to provide the discovery before trial. If you are correct and the judge rules in their favor, do you know how much the company would be entitled to collect? Companies that purchase old debts buy them for pennies on the dollar. Is there a way to reduce the amount of judgement (if one) according to the amount paid by this company as a third purchaser of the debt? Is there a way to return to arbitration since this could have been taken care of if they had provided full discovery in the first place? Thank you,

If they can prove the debt (as you now suspect they can), then the judgement will probably go against you. This doesn't seem to be a case of a fly by night scam collections outfit trying to resurrect an invalid debt. You appear to actually owe this money. Don't hold out too much hope that you will escape this on a technicality about account numbers. When the opposition provides the proof of the debt, then they, the judge and you will all know that the debt is a valid one. The judge will likely rule in their favor.
