Business ProfileforGurstel Law Firm, P.C.

Gurstel Law Firm is currently garnishing my wages for a debt I paid off more than 6 years ago. I had a ***** credit card from a previous marriage that was charged off, and I settled the balance with a collection agency shortly after that. Two other collection companies attempted to collect this debt again after I paid it, and each time I disputed in writing, they followed the trail and found that the debt had been paid and stopped pursuing me for it. Gurstel began attempting to illegally collect this debt a little over a year ago. I did as I had done before and disputed the debt in writing. They sent me a copy of the original credit card charge off as proof of the debt, and I advised them that per my rights as a consumer, they had to show the trail the debt followed including any other agencies it had been purchased by. Had they done this, they would have seen that the debt was paid. I no longer have access to the payment record for this as it was settled 6, almost 7, years ago. They continued to pursue the debt and attempted to serve me for the judgement, but their "service" was given to my minor child, who they had sign for service. I disputed this entire situation in writing 3 additional times. Each time, Gurstel did not provide adequate evidence that I even owe this debt, just copies of their own paperwork. Each time I told them that this is not adequate proof and I am still disputing, and they still have not provided the correct evidence. I have explained the entire situation to them multiple times. They are now garnishing my wages for a debt I do not owe. I have filed a complaint with the attorney general and there has been no help or resolution. I am the sole provider for a family of 5, and they have taken more than a 3rd of my paycheck for a debt I paid off several years ago. They refuse to respond to requests for actual proof of this debt, and performed illegal service for a judgement they should not have even been able to pursue.
