The CAMCO Award - Self-Destruction in Action
Flyingifr:
The list of CAMCO Award nominees for 2011 is getting bigger and bigger.
I hereby nominate Steven J. Baum PC Law Firm of Buffalo, NY and Mr. Baum personally for the CAMCO Award. It seems they just coundn't take peoples homes away without fraud and perjury - so bad that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae cut off their supply of victims. Without victims, Baum just couldn't make it as an ethical lawyer.

It's been a while but we have our 2012 nominee for the coveted CAMCO Award - Goldman Schwartz Inc. of Houston. Shuttered by order of the US District Court, their creative methods of corporate seppuku included:
• falsely representing that Goldman Schwartz is a law firm and owner Gerald Wright is an attorney named Barry Schwartz.
• falsely claiming that consumers have committed crimes by not paying their debts, will be arrested or jailed, and will lose custody of their minor children.
• falsely claiming to be affiliated with or work in conjunction with law enforcement agencies.
• harassing and abusing consumers by using obscene or profane language, calling repeatedly or continuously, and calling late in the evening or early in the morning.
• adding unauthorized late fees and attorney’s fees to the amount consumers owe on their debts, and
• failing to inform consumers of their rights to dispute the debts, have the debts verified, and obtain the names of the original creditors.
Also named in the Order are Goldman Schwartz Inc, also doing business as Goldman, Schwartz, Lieberman & Stein; Debtcom, Inc., also doing business as Cole, Tanner, & Wright; Harris County Check Recovery Inc.; The G. Wright Group Inc., also doing business as The Wright Group; Gerald Wright, also known as Barry Schwartz; Starlette Foster, also known as Star Foster; and Jennifer Zamora.

The CAMCO Award Selection Committee is lease to announce that we have our first niminee for the 2013 CAMCO Award - Vanderbilt & Associates LLC and Buchanan Capital Management of Orlando, FL.
Not contentto rattle off they typical threats of suit, garnishment and credit destrution, they resorted to threats of imprisonment and who know what else - the news article would only say they impersonated Law Enforcement, Government agents, process servers and others. The purpose was to scare the alleged debtor into paying, regardless of whether the debtor actually owed a debt or even if there was a debt.
The State of Florida froze all their assets, effectively shutting them down.
