Complaint Review: JONATHAN CHARLES HARPER FRANK - Nationwide

Unfortunately, I have had a very poor experience with the agent listed above. Hence, I have done research to uncover the scam and fraud behind this individual, JONATHAN C. FRANK, and his affiliates (MARKELLIOTT R. JARRETT, DOMINICK GREGORY, TIFFANY A. EDWARDS, MARK JARRETT, NGUYET LEVANQUYEN, DAT T. LE, et al.), are the conspirators of the illegally operating collection agencies behind this scam: a/k/a FIVE STAR MOTORS, LLC, FIVE STAR MOTORSPORTS, LLC, CONSUMER SOLUTIONS GROUP, LLC (DBA, THE GEORGIA CONSUMER SOLUTIONS GROUP, LLC), JONATHAN C. FRANK & ASSOCIATES, LLC, JONATHAN C. FRANK & ASSOCIATES, PLLC.

This scam has been run mainly from operating bases in LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORIA and HOUSTON, TEXAS. Other know locations are in FLORIDA and IOWA and ARIZONA. This scam is operated via the online “law group”, JONATHAN C. FRANK & ASSOCIATES, (LLC) PLLC.

Although Jonathan C. Frank seems to be an attorney recognized by the Texas State Bar and Jonathan C. Frank & Associates, PLLC is bonded in Texas by WESTERN SURETY COMPANY, 3/15/2017 (date filed), Bond Number 63105865, this individual, this company and its affiliates operate by violating FDCPA (Fair Debt Collection Practices Act) and the FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) in order to intimidate and harass and defraud individuals into paying a “debt”, alternative to “facing arrest, actionable offenses” and other nonsense. (***EACH OFFENSE IS ACTIONABLE IN A COURT OF LAW FOR UP TO $1,000 FOR EACH OFFENSE!) This is, also, IDENTITY THEFT and CONSPIRACY.

The fake addresses from which this bunk firm (firms) operates are:

Web site lists him as an attorney that also does debt collection and gives an address that is probably in a virtual office:

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
