Mann Bracken: Is it difficult to deal with them?

That's because it's Mann Bracken LLP. And they are trying to sue me. They filed legal papers and everything.

I have been making payments to mann bracken by phone every month, until last month.The phones are disconnected and I heard they are bankrupt. What do I do, just stop with payments until i hear something ?

Check your states laws on who is required to be licensed. In my state, attorneys do not have to be licensed.

Check the state bar, for their status, and then also check YOUR states bar to see if they jurisdiction to sue you.

I have been fighting W&A/MB for almost 3 years. I did not default, however a claim was filed in the now DEFUNCT NAF. You all know who was granted the inflated award. LISA M. MICHAELS is the collection-lier on my case. MB has filed false affidavits among other things and violated over 2 dozen consumer statutes but that does not bother them. They have, will and do lie to win their cases. NO SURPRISE. They are still trying to collect on a fradulent claim. Now that there doors have closed makes no diff...they are still trying. I have been told my case has valid claims but would cost more than the alleged debt. I hate loosing on their lies. I would like to add my name to a class action against them, are there any??? thanks for the wealth of wisdom available to common folks like me.

You will be happy to know that Mann Bracken has filed for bankruptcy

I have been paying $25.00 a monthg first to Eskanos & Adler then it changed to Mann Bracken in 2008 I think anyways for a while I was receiving a payment receipt but this month I didn't get one, I know that the address on the envelope they sent me was different than the address on the payment receipt. I wasn't sure where to mail my payment so I tried calling the # on the payment receipt & both the direct # & the 800# are temporaraly disconnected so now I don't know what I should do, especially after reading these comments. I do have a judgement against me on this account. What happenes if I don't sens this payment because I can't get ahold of them. I live in California. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Help!!! Mann bracken has a judgement against me through an old cc acct, i'm trying to clear this debt, but apparently they are out of business. Now no one knows who holds this debt. It's on my credit report and i dont know how to remove it. Any advice (good advice) please post.

I have an account with mann bracken and have not received Jan. statement and have no idea where to mail my payment. Can you help

I set up a payment plan with Mann Bracken, LLP in Nashville, TN in July 09 after receiving a court summons. I had set up an automatic withdrawl from my account for these payments and had no problems. When it came time for my December 09 payment the automatic withdrawl was never made as well as the January 10 payment. When I tried calling the two numbers I have for Mann Bracken it says they are temporarily disconnected. What now?

I was summoned to court by Mann Bracken and had a judgement placed against me. I have made payment arrangements with them in order to have the judgement "stayed" However we only set up payments through December and when I tried to contact them their number has been disconnected. Any advice?

I was sued by Mann Bracken on behalf of a debt that I owed, but made arrangements to pay. Now, I want to know if I am locked into this commitment with them. They were very rude when they called me and hung up in my face.

is there a way to get a hold of mann bracken there phones are no good nor website

Mann Bracken filed bankruptcy back in November, 2009. Last I heard, they were being bought up by NCO Group, another bottom-feeder. The article I just read said that the sale was expected to close early this year.

This might be a good time to request validation, or have the CRAs investigate any MB tradelines you might have. With luck, they'll be busy elsewhere for a while...

ugh, the NCO group is really no better :(

I need a reply back from them and I get nothing. I need a statement with all of my info like payments and bal.. and they will not give me what I need. What am I to do?? Please reply to my e-mail if possible: [EMAIL="terrydriverman@surewest.net"][/EMAIL]terrydriverman[at]surewest.net Thanks Terry

I have been paying payments to Mann Bracken and now they have no phone when I try to call, how can I pay this bill with nowhere to send the payments

I settled with Mann Bracken at the end of November 2009. Now I just received another letter from another collection agency stating that I owe $950.00. The problem is that I don't have the letter stating that I payed of this account, but I do have the checks sent in. I can't get in touch with these pricks to get some sort of statement sent to this other company because all of their previous phone lines have been disconnected. What do I do! I don't want to send in more money since I already settled and who is to say that these guys are legit as well.

I settled with Mann Bracken last year, with the help of a consumer advocacy attorney. I have been paying them faithfully since we settled. A few days ago I received a letter from a different law firm stating that there was a judgment against me that I have not honored and they are going to sue me if I don't contact them or pay. The amount they have listed is not the original debt amount nor the settled amount. Strange. I called my attorney and he is looking into it. This whole industry is a joke.

Iv'e been paying Mann Braken for a year now then this happens: My money sent back from my bank stating that the e-mail is no good now, 800/866 #'s are either busy or disconnected, nothing from them so I complained to BBB. Whats next? e-mail me at
email deleted to protect identity - goldenbast to advise me. Thanks Terry:confused:

I dealt with them and actually won the suit with a attorney with them in a court room .
They then started reporting the debt as late and charged off . The case was to be settled as agreed .
I am now in the process of suing Mann Bracken for a large sum of money for reporting wrong .
Hire a attorney and take them to court --MANN BRACKEN is a money making machine dont fool yourself .They are located in Atlanta Ga . Its a boiler room . MAKE SURE YOU ANSWER THE THERE LETTERS ! ask them for all the statements that you owe upp front the contract make them work there butts off

Good News!! According to a copy of a newspaper article in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Mann Bracken has collapsed nationwide !! Date of article is March 21,2010. There's no doubt that the collection industry needs to be regulated big time !!

Mann Bracken for NCO Portfolio took me to court without my knowledge in 2005 and a judgement was issued against me for $994. The original debt was a Cross Country Bank CC for $250 in which I applied for one month before my 18th birthday in 2000. I admit I was irresponsible by applying for it so young and then giving the card to my first real boyfriend. I only made 1 payment of $70 while I still had the card and thought the rest of the card was paid off by him as promised (idiot move). I had no clue about the rest of any of this happened until I recently pulled my credit report in order to consolidate my student loans and know what I was dealing with exactly. I never applied for anything else since 2000 not even when I purchased my car. Now I got a correspondence in the mail from NCO, they are trying to collect on that same Credit Card in the amount of $1,183.50. If they (Mann Bracken/NCO Portfolio) already submitted the debt to go to court via Man Bracken can they collect twice and if I settle with them for this amount they are offering???.who will take this judgement off of my credit ASAP.
