The Langel Firm Wipes out $30K Garnishment by Eltman, Eltman & Cooper, P.C.

Arguing misidentifcation of the creditor, lack of capacity, and lack of notice, we stopped the garnishment in its tracks and convinced its attorneys to fold the case. See the blog here.

Without litigation, we convinced Eltman, Eltman & Cooper, P.C. to immediately vacate a Yonkers City Court judgment and discontinue its credit card lawsuit on behalf of Erin Capital Management, LLC. Producing copies of tax documents, credit reports, and title reports, Eltman conceded our position and cooperated in providing all necessary disposal papers. Erin Capital Management, LLC. v. M.G., 3683/05.

Representing CACH, LLC, Eltman, Eltman & Cooper, acknowledged its venue error upon our submission of 7 pieces of proof establishing our client's residence in Florida for over 17 years. We argued that her bank restraint, which was premised upon a venue violation, provided our client with an actionable claim under the FDCPA. Eltman quickly agreed to release the bank account, vacate the judgment and discontinue its action with prejudice. CACH, LLC v. E.K., 067581/06 (Civil Court, New York County).

Another venue problem leads to an immediate release, vacatur and discontinuance. Here, Eltman again, out of court, accepted our client's documentary evidence showing that he had been residing in California during the time of the alleged service. NCO Attorney Network v. E.D., 40168/03 (Civil Court, New York County).

FEDERAL COURT CASES

Complaint alleges Eltman, Eltman & Cooper Misidentified Creditor in Collection Letter

The Langel Firm filed a federal complaint against Eltman, Eltman & Cooper for violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ("FDCPA") for its use of an "Asset Investigation Letter" as a collection device seeking payment on a judgment obtained by Midland Credit Management through different counsel, Cohen & Slamowitz, LLP. The letter, we argue, misidentifies the creditor as "MRC Receivables," creates a false sense of urgency, and fails to contain the required validation disclosure notices required under FDCPA §1692g. ​ J.N. v. Eltman, Eltman, & Cooper, P.C., EDNY 2012 (12-4485).
