Mad Mad is not a name associated with any account in our law firm. Furthermore, Messerli & Kramer represents clients. It did not garnish any bank account, the Plaintiff in the lawsuit garnished as permitted under the law.Review fromS

1 star?? Consumer Alert: **** Funding Weaponizes Lawsuits through ******************************* Reporting Against Disabled Victims of Identity Theft ??Messerli and Kramer
Date: 07/31/2025
Messerli & Kramer is a law firm that represents clients and pursues appropriate legal remedies. Messerli's client alleges that Ms. ***** is its consumer who defaulted on her obligation to repay amounts she borrowed. When parties disagree about the facts in a lawsuit, the court resolves the dispute. Furthermore, the litigation process also gives the parties the opportunity to develop and discover the facts. Based upon the facts developed in Ms. ******* case, notably her personal and financial hardship, the Plaintiff dismissed the case. Ms. ******* allegation that "LVNV Funding Weaponizes Lawsuits through Messerli and Kramer" is nonsensical and unsupported by the facts.S

******************************************** response is false, defamatory, and a continuation of their bad-faith conduct. I have never lived at the Georgia address tied to the fraudulent account, and their own court evidence confirmed this. My credit files have been locked, frozen, and fraud-alerted since 2021. The fraudulent account was inserted in mid-2024, and I immediately disputed it. Instead of validating the debt as required under the ****** they sued almost immediately, violating both the ***** and FCRA by weaponizing false credit reporting against a disabled identity theft victim.The case was dismissed only after I filed counterclaims and a motion for sanctions, proving they sought to avoid accountability for their misconduct. Their claim that I defaulted is false and directly contradicted by the record. This complaint exists because ******************************************* engages in harassment, retaliation, and knowingly frivolous lawsuits, and their response only confirms their ongoing abuse.S

1 starMesserli and Kramer did not post my money to my account after several attempts to correct. I placed an incorrect reference number unknowingly and called to get answers. Its been since May and no one at M&K has followed thru. Today I was told they will start the correction. I will not hold my breath.Review fromShawn J

I requested to make a one time payment or a ****************************************************** confirming what we agreed , I have them my new phone number and address at the beginning nothing arrived the due date came in I called in multiple times left multiple voicemails no call back. Few days later I get a called from this company ay my work place, ******** IN EXTENSION 5638 accused me of disconnecting my line and not making a payment and threat that if I didnt do the payment within 5 days they were going to proceed with judgement, then she recognized she mis dialed the phone number when she tried to call me multiple times she said a few days ago, TODAY I called in because I requested this contract again sent to my email and AGAIN she ignored my request I called in today again she said it wasnt processed and that she couldnt called me because she didnt had my permission to do so. What a shady, unethical person she is, of course hang up on me and now I wasnt able to make my payment and it most likely I am going to receive a judgment notice, what a sad world we live, customer trying to solve their ******************** and this employee and company are just scammers.

We respectfully disagree with Mr. *** ******** claim that he is being harassed; however, as a result of his allegation, we have updated his account to reflect that he does not wish to be contacted regarding his past due obligation to our client and will only provide legally required notices. Mr. *** ****** can continue to make his monthly payments as agreed, however, if he misses a payment we will not reach out to him as a courtesy and will instead just proceed with our client's legal remedies.

1 star******************************************* is awful, I understand that I did not do my part but maybe I do not have the funds to even set up a payment plan. Living pay check to pay check.. They took everything that I had which was a little over 100 bucks in my savings account and maybe 200 bucks I my checking with a 100 surcharge fee... I was in the grocery with my small children having to tell them mommy's money is gone-- we couldn't get our needs..Messerli and Kramer

Messerli & Kramer is not Ms. *********' creditor and did not take her money. ******** account was garnished by her creditor after a judgment (Otter Tail County Court File Number 56-CV-25-544) was entered against her and not satisfied. Messerli & Kramer attempted to set up an arrangement between Ms. ********* and her creditor prior to the garnishment. Ms. ********* review is misdirected.Review fromRuth M

1 star******************************************* is a bill collector. My husband has a common name. We got a collection notices for a unpaid credit card we never had. By husband called to sort the mess out and this company demanded his personal information such as his birth date and social security number, which they should already have on an unpaid credit card. They hung up when he refused to give them this information.Review fromLisa M

RE: ******************************* v **** *****
Our File No.: 24-124314
BBB Review No.: 296164
Ms. ****** concerns are regarding garnishment. Messerli & Kramer represents *******************************, the plaintiff in a civil action against Mrs. ******* As such, Ms. ***** is neither a customer nor a client of ours.
Ms. ***** owed a debt to our client for an unpaid bill. Our office reached out to Ms. ***** on multiple occasions to resolve this matter to no avail. Ms. ***** elected not to repay her debt or collaborate with us to resolve her debt. Thereafter, the court ordered judgment against Ms. ***** and ordered her to pay the outstanding debt. Ms. ***** failed to comply with the court order. Accordingly, Minnesota Statutes ****** provides that a judgment creditor may enforce a judgment through lawful garnishment. Ms. ****** allegations regarding our firm are false and, as such, should not be published.
Messerli & Kramer considers consumer complaints a serious matter, and fully respects consumers rights. Thank you for your attention to this matter.Review fromA. P.

1 starIf I could leave a 0 star review I would. Low class criminals. ***** to negotiate a payment and they completely ignored the request. Garnished my paycheck even though I am on assistance (should be exempt for 6 months) and took out over $600 on a $800 debt. I will not be able to pay for bills or food.Messerli and Kramer

Its ******* *****.Messerli and Kramer
Date: 12/05/2024
We are a law firm representing one of Ms. ******* creditors. The court ordered Ms. ***** to pay when it entered judgment on August 18, 2016. She has failed to comply with the court's judgment and to date has not paid anything. The court also ordered Ms. ***** to pay court costs and interest which is why the balance is now $837.19. We served a Notice on Ms. ***** on October 22, 2024 that we intended to garnish her wages unless she completed an exemption claim (which we provided her.) She ignored this Notice. After the garnishment was commenced, then Ms. ***** provided her exemption information and the garnishment was promptly released. Furthermore, her employer notified us that Ms. ***** did not have sufficient earnings to garnish. **************** claim that we garnished her wages even though she is on assistance lacks veracity. Furthermore, Ms. ***** has not attempted to negotiate a payment. If she had, she would been provided the opportunity to make monthly payments and this judgment would have been settled long ago. Ms. ***** is encouraged to contact our office and set up a payment arrangement.A. P.

This is untrue. The garnishment was not released, why was $678 was taken from my paycheck? I also faxed a release saying what type of assistance I receive. Its Xmas and I cannot buy my children anything. We are barely able to buy groceries and I am on a very expensive medication that I had to skip. I contacted them twice through email I have proof of that and those were left unanswered.Messerli and Kramer
Date: 12/11/2024
We received Ms. ******* exemption on November 26, 2024, and released the wage garnishment on November 27, 2024. We also received notice from Ms. ******* employer that she makes insufficient earnings to garnish. If her wages were garnished, she should contact her employer and track down where her wages. Our client has not received any garnishment payment on this account.

1 starSent us papers for garnishment without a court date. Then we set up a payment arrangement to settle the account and we're told the garnishment would be ended. Then proceed to take the garnishment and said we still needed to make the payment for the month because we had "entered an agreement" regardless of the fact that the garnishment that had been taken out was more than the monthly payment agreed upon. Also told us there was no way to pay online, pay in full, or to settle the account. Turns out they have a website where all that is available. They just wanted to collect interest on the account forever. Absolute criminals.Messerli and Kramer

We are unable to locate an account for **** ******** with zip code 51401. Mr. ******** is not our customer.
