Shafritz & Braten, P.A. Review

Cannot validate! sent them letters. They appear to be old disgruntled fellows just sitting in an office waiting for the next victim. Don't even bother. Grossly inefficient..

Dont bother calling back or even trying to get a collection settled. They record everything and all they want to do is argue. Better off figuring our another way to get it removed or just eating it. Check them out on the BBB and all the complaints. How they are not be investigated is beyond me.

Damage your credit without calling you regarding the debt....

This company has refused to VALIDATE a collection that they have had on my credit report for years now. This brought my score down, they can't tell me anything about it, who the patient was, where the service was provided. And when I sent them the insurance information to bill Insurance, they refused hoping I would pay the entire bill. I sent a settlement check in just to get this closed and off the credit report, they sent a snob letter stating they are holding onto the check and waiting for the rest of the payment. On the memo area, terms were this was payment in final of account. The have not been able to validate the services provided and do not comply with the Validation laws. I was able to get this off my credit report. So then THEY ENTERED IT AGAIN WITH A NEW CURRENT YEAR DATE so it looks like a brand new account. I thought this was against the law. Medicaid paid the bill, this is the balance that the hospital is to right off, instead they are coming after a sick mommy for the rest of the payment. Again, I believe this is against the law. I have asked for the audit of the account and they have not compiled. This company is very shady, they are affecting my credit score as I am trying to get my boys into Section 8 housing as I have heart problems and can't work anymore. This company is one of the shadiest they come. NOT TO BE TRUSTED.

This person called me and asked me for my aunt who hasn't lived here for the past 3 1/2 years. I told him when I see her I can tell her who called, then he got rude and asked how I could do that if I don't have her number.

II will be suing they are harassing and disrespectful wouldn't even speak to me about the case I also want to know how this so call lawyer/collection agency has put the same collection on both mine and my exes credit report, many if the lawyers did their jobs then the so called wanna be paralegals
Wouldn't be so hateful I will be reporting this to the BBB and the Florida Bar Association, remember even if u owe money u can sue them for every call after u tell them the first time don't call me again, words of advice before dealing with any collection agency tell them to mail it to u and when u get it send them $1 by Florida law they have to take it off your credit report if they do not dispute it and they'll be forced to take it off that dollar show you are trying to pay what u can they cannot say I'm holding this till paid In full if they try that contact a lawyer asap
