Andrew Wolf, widely respected consumer protection, class action plaintiff’s attorney, joins DannLaw legal team

FDCPA

October 29, 2021 By Marc Dann

Atty. Andrew Wolf AnnouncementDannLaw founder and former Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann announced today that Attorney Andrew Wolf of North Brunswick, New Jersey has become an “Of Counsel” member of DannLaw’s Consumer Protection and Class Action Litigation Practice groups. Wolf, who has earned a reputation as one of the nation’s most effective consumer advocates will be based in DannLaw’s New Jersey/New York office.

“Andrew Wolf’s impressive level of experience, skill, and knowledge will significantly enhance our ability to both fight for middle and working-class families and to handle the influx of cases that will be generated in the coming months as millions of Americans exit mortgage forbearance and the federal foreclosure moratorium sunsets,” Dann said. “We could not have picked a better time to add a talented attorney with Andy’s level of expertise in individual and class action consumer protection law to our outstanding team.”

Wolf, who has resolved hundreds of individual consumer protection cases and been named Class Counsel in more than 135 state and federal class actions since entering private practice 24 years ago, said he eagerly seized the opportunity to join the team of attorneys that has pioneered the use of the nation’s most complex laws to secure justice for consumers and hold corporate wrongdoers accountable for their actions.

“When I opened my first office in 1997, I wrote down a simple mission statement – I am going to be a consumer protection attorney whose goal is to help as many people as possible who have been ripped off or taken advantage of in some way,” Wolf said. “I knew that if I did that I would make a decent living. After accomplishing that goal for 24 years and helping tens of thousands of consumers along the way, my new goal is to continue doing that good work at DannLaw.”

“Our familiarity with and respect for Andrew’s body of work along with the synergies that existed between our two firms served as the catalyst for the discussions that resulted in our teaming up,” Dann said. “I’m confident our new relationship will benefit Andrew, DannLaw, and our existing and future clients while causing nothing but headaches for unscrupulous lenders, scam artists, and corporate miscreants of all types. Andrew and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

If you are a former Home Savings or First Federal customer who now banks with Premier, contact us TODAY so we can protect your family’s financial future and fight for the monetary compensation you need and deserve.

The slogan “Better Together” used by officials of Home Savings Bank and First Federal Bank to characterize the merger that created Premier Bank in April 2020 will ring hollow if the new bank has violated the federal laws and rules that govern mortgage lending and servicing by engaging in these and other abusive practices:

  • Failing to automatically withdraw and/or correctly credit monthly house payments to borrowers’ accounts;
  • Failing to send borrowers monthly mortgage statements;
  • Refusing to respond to requests for information, including loan payoff amounts, in the timeframe required by law;
  • Providing false and/or inaccurate information to the major credit bureaus about the status of borrowers’ loans.

The impact of illegal acts like these can be devastating. Victimized homeowners could see their credit scores plummet by hundreds of points, be unable to refinance their homes to take advantage of low-interest rates, find it difficult to obtain a mortgage for a new home, and be denied credit or charged higher interest rates on auto loans and other types of borrowing.

That means mistakes made by Premier could cost borrowers tens of thousands of dollars—even though they did nothing wrong.

If you believe you have been abused by Premier or have questions about the bank’s actions/activities, please contact DannLaw and Marc Dann immediately by email at [email protected], calling 877-475-8100 or via the contact form on our website: dannlaw.brmcstaging.com/contact to arrange a no-cost, no-obligation consultation that will enable us to
determine if you are eligible to receive substantial monetary damages under the provisions of the Real Estate Sales Practices Act (RESPA), the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).

Please contact us TODAY so we can begin protecting you, your family, and your financial future.

Attorneys for Cleveland, Ohio-based DannLaw, one of the nation’s leading consumer protection law firms, today filed separate class-action suits in Federal Court against Phoenix Financial Services, LLC and Central Research, Inc. The suits allege that both firms have repeatedly violated the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (“FDCPA”), the federal law that prohibits debt collectors from engaging in abusive, deceptive and unfair practices.

Former Ohio Attorney General and DannLaw founder Marc Dann said the case against Phoenix Financial Services involves the firm’s efforts to collect “zombie” debt. “In Ohio, creditors are barred from suing to collect after four years,” he said. “But if the debtor makes a payment after the statutory time limit, the dead debt is brought back to life. That’s why the term zombie applies.”

“The law requires companies like Phoenix to tell consumers they aren’t obligated to pay a debt after the time limit has expired,” Atty. Dann continued. “Unfortunately, Phoenix and a number of other companies featured in a Washington Post story about the growing zombie debt industry, ignore that requirement and instead try to trick people into paying thousands of dollars they don’t actually owe. The practice is illegal and immoral so we’re asking the Court to make our clients whole and to bar the company from misleading consumers.”  The suit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division at Cleveland.

According to Attorney Brian Flick, Managing Partner of DannLaw’s Cincinnati office, the suit against Central Research alleges that the Lowell, Arkansas debt collection firm has engaged in false, deceptive, and or misleading conduct by sending collection notices to debtors that list the amount due but do not disclose that the balance may increase due to late fees, interest, and other charges.

“A number of courts have ruled that debt collectors must tell consumers the amount they owe when they receive a demand letter will grow each and every day,’ Atty. Flick said. “Central’s conscious decision to disregard those rulings and the FDCPA have harmed our lead client and hundreds of other Ohioans. We’re determined to hold the company accountable for willfully violating the law.” The Central Research case was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division.

Both suits seek statutory and actual damages and include a demand for a jury trial.
