BRONSTEIN & WEISS ARBITRATION, INC.

On March 6, 2020 I was contacted by an officer stating they would be serving me papers because of a debt collection. This was a prepaid loan back in 2014 that I don’t ever remember and I had to home between 2pm – 4pm to get served papers. I panicked an contacted this Law firm and they went over everything and I sign the papers electronically and the total balance is $1,038.90 from the company Franklin Capital Management. This is IS a Scam. I am so devastated that I fell for this.

I received a blocked call from a processor server stating that there was legal actions taken against me and that they would be arriving at my home to serve me with a uniformed officer to detain me on the spot and if I wasn’t there they would notify the local authorities to be on the lookout for me arrested. Part of the message directed me back to the person that I should talk to about this named Bronstein and Weiss and spoke to a guy John Snyder (716) 930-697

John Snyder stated that legal action against me for a payday loan that I never applied for. They claimed that I took out a payday loan with Cash Globe several years ago and I have never heard of that company, nor taken out a loan from them. I looked them up and found out they are a fraudulent company. Bronstein and Weiss are threatening to destroy my credit and report me as fraudulent if I do not pay. I have been informed that a process server will serve me and I will have to go to court. I am getting constant harassment from this company. I have never received any legal documents by mail. I have only been contacted by phone and email. They are a complete fraud.

On December 26, 2018 I was contacted by someone claiming they would be serving papers for check fraud and I needed to be at my home at a certain time of day. I was told if I was not there to be served, a warrant would be placed for my arrest for check fraud for a debt nearly 15 years old. With the holidays, I was unable to be at home during that time and was told my only other option was to sign a payment agreement. I asked for a proof of debt and was told none would be given in writing unless I was served with the papers, and that I could not request them. I asked for details about the charges they were serving papers for. The lady advised that they had me down for felony check fraud, as well as a few other things, and that the minimum sentence was at least a year served. Panicked, especially with a new baby, I consented to the signing the payment agreement without doing further research. At this time, I’ve paid them around $600, and have taken steps with my bank to dispute those charges and cancel the upcoming payment of $1200. The debt in question was well beyond the statute of limitations, and was only $725. This was intentionally misrepresented, I was threatened with jail time, and coerced to sign a document quickly to avoid being “arrested.” They refused to provide a proof of debt or give any additional information about the money owed to a payday loan lender. I have contacted the initial creditor, and this is NOT the company that they have authorized to collect a debt on their behalf. This IS a scam.
