Pressler and Pressler, LLP is an infamous debt collection law-firm representing creditors and junk debt buyers. Debt buyers buy up portfolios of old debt from banks, credit card companies, hospitals, doctors, cell phone companies and car companies for pennies on the dollar.
Pressler and Pressler is most often identified as a New Jersey debt collection law firm where the majority of their cases are however, they claim to have a New York office and do file some debt collection cases in New York.
According to the New York State Unified Court System, Pressler and Pressler filed almost 5,000 New York debt collection lawsuits in 2015 which is about half as many as they filed in 2014. Debt collection cases like these are most often brought in New York’s civil, city and small claims courts.
Pressler & Pressler has its headquarters located at 7 Entin Road, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054-5020 but also has a New York office located at 305 Broadway, New York, NY 10007.
While Pressler & Pressler is a law-firm, in reality they are more like a glorified collection agency using the courts as a debt collection tool. Once a judgment is obtained, law-firm debt collectors like Pressler & Pressler can freeze bank accounts, garnishee wages and issue subpoenas.
Law-firm debt collectors like Pressler & Pressler employ few attorneys but many debt collection agents. In fact, if you call them, you will not speak with an attorney, you will speak with a debt collection agent who is probably being paid a commission for any money he or she collects from you.
Pressler & Pressler and many of its debt buyer clients are sued regularly by consumers for violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). The FDCPA is a federal law that regulates the collection of consumer debts. It precludes third party debt collectors from using false, misleading, deceptive and harassing debt collection tactics.
