BEWARE this collection agency! The Roth Morgan Firm who present themselves as a law firm not a collection agency as a form of intimidation. They are unlawfully threatening there debtors. I received a call stating that the 14 day time period to take action had expired and I need to contact them asap to avoid further legal action against me and gave me the 800 # to call which was different than the number that called me. I called them back trying to figure out why this "attorneys office" was calling me and spoke to a man by the name of John Abrems who claimed that I owed a debt to 5/3rd bank that was in to the thousands. I did have an account with that bank so I asked what it was I originally owed and he said the bank stated I owed them the amount of $252.00 before fees and interest. I told him I had settled this claim when I closed the account 7 years ago in 2010 he said the account was not closed until 2012. that was a little strange to me. he said that he could offer me a settlement of $141.00 today as a one time payment or set up a payment plan. I explained that I did not have the spare funds to pay this at this time and he told me that if I did not settle this debt that legal action was going to be taken against me that MY BANK ACCOUNTS WERE GOING TO GET CLOSED AND MY DEBIT CARD PRIVILAGES WOULD BE REVOKED BECAUSE I WAS NOT ALOWD TO DO BUSYNESS WITH A BANK WHILE IN DESPUTE WITH ANOTHER BANK! It is against the law to threaten someone in any way when trying to collect a debt. I told him I would speak with the bank to settle this because I felt something wasn't right with the information he was giving me. I went in to a 5/3rd branch and spoke with a maneger who told me that I did close the account in 2010 not 2012 and the debt in question was sold to a third party debt collector. this debt is so old it is not even showing on my credit report and I was clear to have a bank account with any one I choose. He made me feel much better that this company was trying to scam me in to paying for a debt I did not need to pay and that no one would be capable of closing out my accounts without bringing me to court and having a judge order an investigation first.
