Had a debt close over $5k (Lendmark). Fradkin & Weber took me to court with a decision favoring them- as it should. I attempted to comply with the decision by completing my interrogatory ON TIME but reaching out to work out a payment plan. The paralegal I talked to (name starts with a G) told me to include the payment offer in the interrogatory. I also asked that they email me back for confirmation of receipt and whether the payment plan worked. I emailed the address given to me by the paralegal AND receptionist. I never heard back and even followed up (email and phone). Every time I called, I was left on hold for about 15-30 minutes. When G finally answered, I was met with nasty energy and replies. She claimed it was never emailed and they went ahead with pushing for bank freezes and garnishments even though I was clearly trying to pay. The only way they were able to get my bank information and my new employer was from the interrogatory! It wasn't until over a month later that I learned they rejected my payment plan and the only reason I learned this was because I called to ask why their motioning for a freeze and garnishment if I presented a payment plan (they rejected it but didn't feel the need to communicate their decision). Then G denied all the information she told me in our phone conversations and that I didn’t attempt to work with them. Fast forward I emailed the lawyer with an offer to pay the whole debt under certain conditions and then all of a sudden, the email worked and they were able to communicate. Even in the settlement agreement sent, they tried to throw some shady wording in it. I filed a complaint with Maryland’s Attorney Grievance Commission and used all records of communication as evidence of their misconduct and malicious actions. It wasn’t until I mentioned the complaint that they were better, but I still didn’t trust them with any bank information. I made a payment directly with Lendmark because I truly believed if I made a payment to this law firm, they would have lied about receiving it. My suggestion is to keep all documentation of communication and if you feel their conduct is unprofessional and malicious, file a complaint. The system is in their favor (the lawyer lied on his letter about dates and communication between us and they took his word over my records) but maybe someone in the MD bar will eventually have morals and old them accountable.

Fradkin & Weber pa need to be investigated ASAP. They continue to come for me for a 10 year old loan from 2014 for the amount of $5k which I have paid back almost $20k total up to date and it is not making any sense. I took a $5k loan out in 2014 made payments on time up until I had a financial hardship in 2016. In 2017 I woke up to frozen bank accounts and a Garnishment order from the courts. First time hearing about them. Fradkin & Weber pa Never reached out prior, to try to come to an agreement to pay off the balance. From 2017 to 2018 they were garnishing my checks until I stopped working at that Job leaving a balance of $1,700. Never heard from them until 2019 when they took me back to court. I showed up to court and they did not. Never heard from them again until 2022 when I received a new garnishment order from the courts but I was no longer working at that employer. In 2023 I receive another garnishment order for almost another $7k.(wished the courts would work as hard on child support cases as they do cases like this one) They have been successfully garnishing my checks since the summer of 2023 and till this date still are. I called today requesting copies of all the payments that have been taken since the 1st garnishment and they said they send out monthly statements and will not send my request. I explained i have not received their monthly statements and even then I was still told NO and repeated that they send monthly statements. How do I not have a right to see the amount of payments that have been made by me to them? I have no issues paying back what I owe and then some but at this point i feel as they are taking full advantage of me not questioning them. But now I have tons of questions that need Answers. And from all the other reviews and reviews on the BBB site this company has no issues taking full advantage of people who don't speak up and allow it like

Rude! Cold hearted

Return back to sender. The harm you put on people unnecessarily shall return to you ten fold.

Pay your bills and you won't have to ever hear from a firm like this! Lesson learned!! Had a positive experience with them.

I haven't had a good experience they took money from check on the 10th and won't return it until April 5th

Received my School grant money to pay for my last Semester of college today. They’ve garnished and frozen my bank account. School money, rent, and car payment. All gone this morning as soon as I received it. I call and ask “why didn’t anyone tell me you guys would take my school money, I’m on the phone with you now so obviously I can be reached” she replies “that’s not our jobs. We collect money” so needless to say so degree This year, and I won’t be going into the military with any rank this year as well. Last payment made was April 2019… the fact I had to remind this woman what the subsequent years have done to the economy is crazy to me. Have no idea what to tell my family, or my child. Hell my apartment complex. But hey. That’s ok right. The lawyer got their money.

This law firm should be under investigation (I had no clue of this judgement). Where is statue of limitations. This is a from 2015. I'll will be getting an attorney to stop garnishment.

They are trying to garnish my pay with a credit card they keep saying I had in 2011, it is now 2022, I am just now hearing about them and from them. They will not give me anything saying I owe this credit card. Apparently the account has been collecting interest everyday since 2011.

Do not be mislead by this place if you owe a creditor or anyone else a debt by submitting banking info, soc sec. numbers or any personal information due to a seemingly court appointed letter. I paid them off, a $1600 bill that they tried to threaten me with through a court coded letter with THEIR LETTERHEAD. I was fortunate b/c I have a couple of lawyer friends who gave me advice on how to deal with them. But in short, seek free legal counsel through the courts. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION. PAY THEM OFF IF YOU CAN OR GO TO COURT AND EXPLAIN YOUR CASE TO THE JUDGE ESPECIALLY NOW WITH BEING IN A PANDEMIC.
