How did you find out? I have a collection through them as well and would love any information you can share about the company before I send more $$.

They're not a fraud but they are a collection agency working as attorneys. They are valid. Whether they are trustworthy or scummy, I don't know. But they filed for a judgement against me so they must be real enough for the court to recognize them.

Hello fellow Zwicker targets.Z. & Asst's take the cake! They are representing a credit card Co. in my case. The bank had changed names since my debt was incurred. I was served notice on the debt using the new bank's name and without inclusion of any other identifier such as an account #. Zwicker's people had been calling my home for weeks. Each time my wife acknowledged the debt and, offered to make a payment. In each instance she was denied. The reason given was that "They" would only accept payment if we set up an automatic payment schedule allowing them to deduct the payment directly from our account(s). I waited until they served me, then sent a certified letter reviewing our experience thus far. I included a check and stated that if they chose to accept it that it would be considered the first payment towards resolution. They did deposit the check and, sent a letter back along with my letter. They did acknowledge the payment and "encouraged" me to send another one which I will do. These guys are a hoot. The reason given for sending my letter back was that they could not legitimize it due to my signature not having been notarized which had to be done since their summons had been. Tomorrow I'll have that done and send it back to them with an additional letter (signature notarized) thanking them for their prompt attention to my situation.

About Zwicker & Ass.WE contacted them when Mann Bracken disappeared and our payment was cashed by FIA Card Services. Initially Zwicker would not let us make a payment to them. They still had to figure out what was what with the account they got from FIA. That took some time but we got the go ahead to send in our previously agreed payment amount. At that time they still professed to not know what the balance of the account was and asked for proof of payments. We obliged and sent them more proof than they asked for. We also uncovered discrepancies (~$3000.00) with Mann Bracken's accounting which was in our favor. As of today they are purporting a balance that is way off the mark which they said was given to them by FIA. They will not give us anything in writing but told us they will send balance statements as long as we continue to make payments. How can we know if they're being truthful? Do we have any recourse since they will give us nothing in writing?

An agent from Zwicker & Associates P.C. has been calling me many times everyday from blocked and unknown numbers. I requested for written debt validation. He has not sent a debt validation letter nor has he stopped calling me. He even calls on weekends. I have a ‘pay per call’ phone and these calls are increasing my bills adding to my already existing financial woes.

I originally had a payment plan with Mann Bracken from a personal line of credit with a bank. I gave them about $3000.00 down and made monthly payments that were auto deducted from my account. About 3-4 month ago the paymens stopped and I tried to call Mann Bracken and found out they were out of business and my debt was now with Zwicker. I contacted Zwicker and Associates they had no idea what my balance was. They asked me if I knew what it was and said they are sorting everything out and would get back to me. I haven't heard from them yet. Sincerely, Patiently Waiting in VA

This was great to read. Zwicker & Assoc. are advertising for a Litigation Assistant and I was about to apply, until I read these posts. As badly as I want a new job (I'm a temp right now), not for these people. I won't waste a resume on them.

I worked for Zwicker in they Ky office. They do take people to court all the time... I seen it happen. with the setting up checks... You guys had your chance to mail in checks b4 they was retained to take over your debt and you didn't do it thats why they want a check by phone. The sending out statements their not a credit card company they don't send bills. You know what you owe and after they get a judgement they put take houses they garnish your accounts and they garnish payroll checks. Bottom line pay your bills people...... or GOOD LUCK IN COURT YOU SIGNED THE CONTRACT THATS ALL THEY NEED FOR A JUDGMENT (you can't file bankruptcy on a judgment)

I recently called this law firm, the one located in New York (Rochcester). I spoke with the Manager, Andrew DICK! His last name literally matches his attitude. Mr. Dick even hanged up the phone on me. I did not even get a chance to explain what my reason's for calling were. All because I was doing my dad a favor to call and ask some question. Is this office not suppposed to be professional? Where the hell did these people go to school, if they did? I was transfered to Mr. Dick and the min he picked up the call he was very rude and nasty. Mr. Dick was a BIG asshole.

Great article, I think you covered everything there. . . I would say freelancing is quite hard especially if you are not used to working on your own, can be quite hard to motivate yourself also. . . we all know what it is like to stare at the monitor.
