  This company is a bunch of criminals! They are illegally garnishing people who are on State Assistance. I have attempted to contact them numerous times and they never respond! I have been homeless since February of this year and supporting 3 kids as a single mom and being recently divorced. This matter was taken to court years ago and they were told they could not garnish my wages or bank account because it would create a hardship because my kids and I were and continue to be on assistance for their disabilities. They are illegally taking money from me because I was NEVER served and NEVER give a chance to complete a Debtors Answer. I have never had a chance to tell them, like the first time, that I was on assistance and this was a hardship. Once a debtors answer is received the garnishment must be stopped and the Employer must be notified within 3 days. None of this has happened. Then shortly after I moved, my employer notified me that my wages were being garnished. They state that they sent letters and had court in a county I dont live in. I was never notified of the case until the garnishment. They said they served me through mail, well, they should have received mail back because when I contacted the county they were sending my mail to, they said any mail sent to me would have been returned because of no forwarding address. I get paid $900 a paycheck every two weeks, they take $300 out every paycheck. Leaving me with $600 for food, medical and bill every 2 weeks.

  Messerli & Kramer is a law firm that represents Midland Funding LLC, the assignee of Ms. ******* Webbank credit card debt. As such, **************** is not a customer nor a client of ours. **************** states she was not notified of the case against her until garnishment; this is untrue. **************** was personally served with a Summons and Complaint on June 18, 2016. **************** personally appeared at a hearing on July 10, 2017, and made arguments before the Court. On October 08, 2017, the Honorable Judge ****************************** granted judgment against ***************, writing that, after hearing Ms. ******* arguments, The Court can find no defense in this matter. Judgment was entered against **************** on October 09, 2017, by the Mahnomen County District Court, in case number 44-CV-17-286.
  **************** was most recently served with a Notice of Intent to Garnish on December 12,2023. **************** did, in fact, receive this Notice, as she responded by making an exemption claim on January 10, 2024. Ms. ******* claim lacked supporting evidence and, as such, garnishment continued and no hearing was requested to substantiate her claims. Minn. Stat.550.37, Subd. 14. Exemption claims last only six months. We encourage *************** to provide our office with current proof of exemption, illustrating her receipt of needs-based assistance, every six months to keep our records current. Additionally, we encourage **************** to provide our office and the Court with any changes of address, as is her responsibility, to ensure all legal documents are received by her. Minnesota Gen.R. of P. *****. **************** has requested the we cease all communications with her.   Consequently she will receive only legally required notices.  Ms. ******* wages have been garnished in the amount permissible by law and no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of her disposable income.

  Terrible business practice! This company has you served to appear in court! You then call in to arrange a settlement out of court and they say they cant speak to you about the account! Its my account! Im the person you are wanting money from. Then they proceed to get a judgement and add all the additional fees! You call again and now they will talk to you! Terrible! God forbid English is your second language! They use every bullying tactic they can. A class action lawsuit needs to be filed against this law firm! They are the worst of the worst!

  ******************************************* is a law firm that represents financial entities in the recovery of unpaid accounts. As such, ******************** is not a customer nor a client of ours. Our office adheres to state and federal law regarding communicating with consumers. Because ******************** failed to provide his file number, we are unable to investigate his claims further and determine why we were unauthorized to speak with him regarding his account prior to judgment being entered against him. In order for us to discuss ******************** personal account information, we must verify the identity of the person calling our office.

  Theyve had rulings against them and even acknowledge that veterans benefits cant be garnished, yet try to garnish veterans benefits anyway. Sounds like they knowingly are attempting to break the law.

As such, ****************** is neither a customer nor a client of ours. ******************************************* follows state and federal regulations regarding garnishment and does not garnish Veterans Affairs benefits.

  They've called me several times about a "personal matter" the number they give says they are a debt collector but ********************* says he has no idea what the recording says when you call, he also doesn't know what the **** is AND he doesn't know their state bar number so please do NOT verify any info with them, they are trying to scam you.

  Illegally garnishing people who are on State Assistance. Then, instead of following the laws for receiving a Debtors Answer, they continued to garnish wages. Once a debtors answer is received the garnishment must be stopped and the Employer must be notified within 3 days. None of this happened. Instead more paperwork was sent asking for more information. They clearly garnish people whose accounts say "not garnishable". Check your state laws and protect yourselves. These people are scams.

  Like everyone else here, this company is very unprofessional. They never sent me a notice before they sent out a bank garnishment request and did not send me a complete debt validation letter in the 5 days required by law( it took a week) And that letter has obviously been altered. I am with the person that said we should file a class action lawsuit against them, this has caused me a great deal of stress and I am a heart patient. Oh, and the person I talked to lied to me by saying that they can take all the money in my account but that is not true in the *****************. If they did, I would be dead in a week because I would not be able to afford my medication. Nor would I have a place to live. There are other red flags but I am not going to put them out there as i am going to consult an attorney.

  RE:Midland *********************** v *************************** Our File Nos.: 21-174486, 21-161853, 20-164345 BBB Review No.: ******** Thank you for your inquiry regarding this matter dated February 25, 2024. We appreciate the opportunity to answer your questions. ******************************************* P.A. represents Midland ***********************, a Plaintiff in court actions commenced against ************************. As such, ************************ is not our customer nor our client of ours. ************************ was provided garnishment notices by certified mail at his last known address, pursuant to ******** law. If ************************ has recently changed his address, we respectfully advise him that it is his responsibility to notify both our office and the Court. See ******** General Rules, Rule 1.3(e). ************************ is misinterpreting and overlapping two separate and distinct requirements under the ****** 15 **** 1692 g(a) requires a notice within five (5) days of the initial communication. For each of his accounts, ************************ was sent a conforming letter prior to any communication. Thereafter, if ************************ requested validation within thirty (30) days, then account information is sent (15 **** 1692 g(b)), but there is no timing restriction associated with such a response. Any information related to Mr. *********** health or financial situation will not be discussed in this forum; however, if ************************ wishes to discuss his accounts, he may contact the firm directly.

  File Number: 20-175072 Court File Number: 27-CV-22-18814 You provided my employer with an amount to deduct they deducted and remitted that amount. Why is there still an outstanding balance? Why didn't you just give them the correct amount to begin with? Plus you will not accept payment from me?

  ************** has been provided numerous opportunities to resolve this balance. On June 10, 2022, ************** paid the judgment balance but his payment was declined due to insufficient funds. Our office contacted ************** and advised him that the final payment check had bounced and that there remained an outstanding balance due. ************** indicated that a payment to resolve this balance would be made on September 09, 2022. On September 14, 2022, ************** called our office to indicate that this payment would be delayed until September 16, 2022. On September 28, 2022, ************** again indicated this payment would be delayed. On November 15, 2022, after receiving no payment or further correspondence from **************, judgment was entered against him in the amount of $150.83, in court case number 27-CO-21-1629, by the Hennepin County Conciliation Court. On November 17, 2022, ************** contacted our office and was advised that no payment had been received to settle the balance on this file. On January 25, 2023, ************** mailed our office a letter disputing the balance on this account, indicating that he had settled this matter via money order. In a call from ************** to our office on January 30, 2023, our office again advised ************** that no payment was received and ************** informed our office that he would cancel the prior payment and send in a new payment to resolve the balance on his file. On May 17, 2023, after receiving no payments, our office called ************** to advise him that a balance remained outstanding on this file, however ************** terminated the call prior to any discussion of the account. Our office mailed several garnishment notices to ************** from the date of entry of judgment in November of 2022, yet no payment has been received from ************** since May of 2022. On October 23, 2023, a Garnishment Summons was served upon your employer, listing the outstanding judgment balance at that time of $202.61. On November 08, 2023, our office received a garnishment payment of $202.61. In the time between the Garnishment Summons and the received payment, statutory interest and court costs had accrued, leaving a remaining outstanding balance due. At this time, there remains an outstanding judgment balance of $123.26. Respectfully, we provided ************** with ample opportunity to resolve his outstanding debt owed to our client.

  I have never worked with such an unprofessional company in my life. The staff ************************* hung up on me when I asked for written information. After being hung up on I spoke with his supervisor who repeatedly told me this was a "recorded line." I don't care if it's a recorded line as I did NOTHING wrong. The supervisor was passive aggressive and then refused to discuss any details of why they were contacting me, after I requested written correspondence multiple times. He then proceeded to tell me he couldn't discuss details because he couldn't "give legal advice." I am not an idiot and would never ask for legal advice from a call an entry-level center employee. So there was ZERO resolution regarding the staff that hung up on me. Obviously, if a company has a 1/5 star review rating the company is a joke and their staff in the ********, ********* office are inept. (My guess is that most of there staff don't even know what that means.) To threaten me with a lawsuit after attempting to recover financially from a worldwide pandemic is ridiculous. They also reported that they have been attempting to contact me via mail; they didn't even have my correct address. So again, your pathetic, unprofessional staff and your laughable excuse of a law firm needs to DO BETTER , especially when you can't even get a rating higher than one star. As I write this review, I am highly amused at the joke of a company that you are.

  Ms. ******** concerns are in regards to communications with our office. ******************************************* represents ****************, the plaintiff in a legal action against ******************. As such, ****************** is neither a customer nor a client of ours. On January 17, ****************** called our office to discuss her account. After ****************** refused to provide information to confirm her identity to the representative, the call was terminated. She again called our office and spoke with a supervisor and agreed to confirm her identity. ****************** was advised that all consumers must authenticate their identification on every call prior to discussing personal financial information to ensure that no personal financial information is disclosed to an unauthorized third party. We invite ****************** to provide us with her current address so we can ensure that she receives all future legal documents in this matter. Additionally, ****************** may visit our payment portal, at www.mkbillpay.com, to voluntarily resolve the outstanding balance due on her account in lieu of litigation.
