Dear Sir I was sued by Brachfeld Law Firm. Brachfeld Law Group/ Portfolio Investment exchange. Defendant: Rickey Matthews (Houston TX) They were taking monthly payments out of my checking account, I have two are three payment left. They have not taken any payment as of March. Their numbers are no longer working. Can I sue them for not abiding by their scheduled payment plan? I went on line and I discovered that they are in deep legal trouble. What method can I use in order to pay these people?
