INVESTIGATE SELIP & STYLIANOU LLP FOR FRAUD

 

Selip & Stylianou LLP is a debt collector law firm in NY/ NJ. There is nothing wrong with collecting debts, but Selip & Stylianou are not really debt collectors, they are more like “parasites.”

 

They were formerly  Cohen & Slamowitz and have been sued multiple times in New York & New Jersey. Despite this, they go above and beyond to violate consumer protection laws such as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and they constantly harass and intimidate consumers.

 

They use sewer service which is when forged affidavits are filed with the Court falsely claiming a defendant was served summonses, complaints, notices of wage garnishments and levies etc.  Filing false affidavits with the Court is criminal and breaks State and Federal law(s). Many times, the Courts are unaware of these fraudulent affidavits because Selip & Stylianou files thousands of nearly identical debt collection cases (known as assembly line litigation) which overwhelms and burdens the Court system.

 

State Court records show that Selip & Stylianou entered a judgment against an elderly widow after the account was already paid in full through an agreement. They stole money from the wrong person’s bank account and refused to return it. They filed lawsuits in the wrong venue despite the FDCPA requirement that the lawsuit be filed in the city of the consumer’s residence. They sued consumers after the statute of limitations expired. They asked one person to pay them to make the judgment go away, BUT there was no judgment. They told one person not to hire a lawyer. They even filed bogus evidence during discovery, and it does not end here. Federal Court records show the same pattern of disturbing behavior.

 

Clearly these lawsuits have not stopped this firm’s corrupt practices. This law firm has no respect for the Courts but more importantly they are causing widespread harm to the public. It is time for the State and Federal government to thoroughly investigate them and hold them fully accountable!
