Macey, Wilensky, Cohen, Wittner & Kessler, Attorneys and Lawyers Ripoff Garnished My Social Security Disability Check Atlanta Georgia
This collection attorney: Macey, Wilensky, Cohen, Wittner & Kessler, filed a civil action against me in COWETA SUPERIOR COURT in Newnan, GA to collect a credit card debt for First Consumer National Bank.
I answered the civil summons and waited for over 3 months for my day in court, which never came.
On 11/22/2004 the collection attorney garnished my bank account at Bank of America. There was never a judgment against me in COWETA SUPERIOR COURT. However, this slick attorney went to FULTON STATE COURT in Atlanta and got a Summons of Garnishment and served it to Bank of America which immediately froze my account. The very next morning I was at my branch office in Newnan demanding that they release the garnishment of my SS disability check because it was exempt from garishment. My branch office called the legal processing department at Bank of America in College Park and they refused saying that they had a court order for the garnishment.
I wrote a letter to the Macey, Wilensky (collection attorney) demanding that they dismiss the garnishment
immediately because they never got a judgment against me, I also hand delivered a copy to Coweta Superior Court and Fulton State Court and faxed a copy to Bank of America's legal processing department. Bank of America called Coweta Superior Court and found that the case was stilling pending and no judgment had been issued against me, within the next 3 days the garnishment had been dismissed.
Bank of America refused to refund the $75 bank processing fee and $66 in overdraft fees after I contacted them 3 times. I finally ask GA Legal Services to assist me with Bank of America and they wrote a letter explaining that my SS disability check is exempt from garnishment so they must refund $141 to my check account or I would sue to get that money back. The bank put that money back into my account.
My garishment is now dismissed and Bank of America finally repaid me for the garnishment fee & overdraft fees. But I am not finished with that collection attorney or Bank of America, I plan to sue both of them for what they put me through.
