Rubin & Rothman LLC Fraudulent filing and freezing of bank account Islandia New York
I had my bank account frozen by Rubin and Rothman LLC. When I called my bank, they said they received from them a restraining order alledgedly issued by the NY Civil Court.
I called Rubin and Rothman and was met with very rude attitudes.
I explained that I had NEVER received a court date, NEVER been served, etc.
I was told that they had "mailed everything to me and it was not their fault I didn't receive it."
In fact, I had asked for a copy to be mailed to me CERTIFIED RETURN RECEIPT in which I would have proof of their mailing.
Rubin and Rothman has refused every attempt I have made to get certified mailings from them.
I had made an agreement to pay the monies owed on the debt I KNOW for a fact they have added their own interest on, which is illegal in the state of NY. However, again I never received the Stipulation and received a call that if I didn't pay them within 2 days, they were going to freeze my account again.
I once more explained that I never received anything from them in the mail, and again brought up that I wanted everything sent certified. Melissa Sands told me -- again --- they "cannot do that." When I bluffed her that I was at my attorney's office, she reluctantly did fax over a Stipulation -- that was dated that day, and NOT 2 months previous as she had stated.

Charlotte, Unfortunately, you will need a lawyer for most of this, but you can get that judgement/garnishment order vacated. What happened here was known as "sewer service" where they send notices to an old address so you don't get it and don't respond. First, go to your bank and get copies of the order that was used to freeze your account. While at your bank file a fraud report on that action and inform them they obtained the order illegally. Get a copy of that report. Second, Go to the clerk of court and get copies of everything filed that led up to the garnishment order. Third, file a BAR ASSOCIATION complaint against the attorney for illegal/unethical activity. They must be able to provide proof of service. The only acceptable service that will hold up in court is by a process server with a summons, or certified mail, return reciept requested. Keep in mind that filing false documents with the court is a FELONY, and you can seek prosecution as well as civil damages. Now get all of this stuff together and go consult attornies that will represent you in getting the judgement vacated. You can get back all monies paid previously under the false order. Good luck.

Somehow, your Ripoff Report doesn't surprise me in the least. Lawyers are the lowest form of life on this Earth, and nothing they do is shocking. They will do ANYTHING to defraud their opposition and even their own clients! William Shakespeare had it right when he wrote in Henry VI, "The first thing we do is kill all the lawyers"!!!
