On August 7 2017 Lyons, Doughty and Veldhuis bought or took over Cheek Law Firm which was handling my credit settlelment with Capital Oe Bank. I recieved a letter from them dated August 2 2017 stating that they were handling my account and that my balance due was $1408.27. I had been paying on this account since Oct 2 2014 under and agreement originally entered 9.23.2014. I informed them they were wrong and sent detailed account info to show my correct balance as of that date was actually $843.
I made the next months payment and finally received a reply from them dated 10.2.2017 showing the correct balance. I mailed the November payment, check 1901 in the amount of $50 after receiving my Social Security check on the 22nd, and when my bank statement came it had not been cashed. When I mailed the December payment in I asked them to please check to see why they had not cashed the Nov. check. Or would I need to issue a stop payment and replace that check.
A couple of weeks went by after mailing the December check and pnce again it was never cashed. When I mailed the January check I sent it Certified Mail and received the Certified Mail receipt that it had been accepted by their office. That check was deposited but I have never heard one thing from them regarding the other 2 checks. If I stop payment, it will cost me $38 per check and I live on a fixed income. From the very first day they took over this account it has been mismanaged and totally screwed up.
From the time I entered into this settlement agreement with the Cheek law firm, I have made every payment every month and had no problem. Since this company took over it is a complete nightmare and I am going to take this complaint as far as I have to in order to get this resolved. If that is contating the media, the Ohio Supreme Court, the Bar Association... I will get relief from this nightmare with Lyons, Doughty and Veldhuis in Columbus OH.
