Brennan and clark are harassing me over a debt I have with Home Pages directory. I would have been able to pay them if they would have provided the service that they promised. I ran a half page ad on the inside back cover of their directory and did not receive even one call or visit to my website. I asked several friends who live in the area they claim to cover and not one person had received a directory or even knew who they were. I am on disability and Brennan and clark is threatening to garnish my disability check. Please help me if you can. thank you

Received a call from denis. He claims I owe 1700 dollars and if i pay by ACH he will settle for 911 dollars. He refuses to provide any documentation on the debt owed and claims that I owe the money because he said it. Sounds like a scam. I called the company he claimed to be representing. They say i don't owe anything. Do not provide them no information.Its a scam

I too have been receiving threatening callso from brennan and Clark on behalf of homepages. First off I paid them with a check of $50 (homepages) for a guaranteed spot in there book. The lady said I would be able to pay $50 a month until it was paid off. That was to start after I received a proof copy of the add. I never received it and several months later I receive a bill for $500. I ask for my $50 back and then the bull crap started. I never seen a homepages circulated in the area I advertised and never once received a call from the add. I know from experience that I would have gotten at least a few calls. Now this brennan and Clark is threatening me and I rightfully don't feel as I owe anything because it was never broadcasted. I live in the area I advertised. They have threatened me all but taking my first born! Wished I lived closer to them. I don't let people talk to me that way as I don't do it to others. I wonder how they're still in business.

My law firm switched insurance from Aetna to Oxford as of June 1st 2016. Aetna billed us for June and July. In September Brennan and Clark contacted us (holding themselves out as lawyers) and said we had to provide payment or proof of a change in insurance. We provided proof and now they are harassing us for $17k in claims paid by Aetna even though, it is my understanding (through my insurance broker) that Aetna and Oxford are working out any claims

I received a call from sam mitchell sayig i needed to have a legal representative Call her back at 630-359-6148. She claims to work for the law offices of brennan and clark. She does not tell me how much i owe or to whom. The number she gave me is a cell phone, not a business and she provides no documentation. Scam alert.

I am not sure why they are even calling. A very threatening and hostile woman, Sam Mitchell keeps leaving messages to call back and when I call back I get no answer and no phone call in return. Just hostile and threatening voicemails. I have no idea what the call is even about and I would like them to stop!!!!

I saw your link regarding brennan & clark and debt harassment. i received a call from their representative Kenneth Maddox. He said he was an attorney but I am not sure. To make a long story short, I had an account with j s paluch co however i canceled my advertising with them after the first quarter (2013). I told Kenneth this and he said that I signed a contract with them for an auto renew and that I still responsible for the unpaid balance of $1123.00 plus the retainer fees for Brennan & Clark of $375.00. I have requested a copy of the contract that I signed stating it would auto renew and Kenneth said he would forward that onto me. He also told me that if I do not agree to settle, they will put a judgement against me and the balance would be in excess of $3000.00 with court costs etc. This ad was for the back of a church bulletin which makes this whole situation quite shady!

I had my bank account frozen due to fraudulent activities (long story short I was involved in a scam/money laundering situation but thought I was working for Hitachi) and my bank accounts were frozen. This was right after the big Christmas/New Year's business I had (I'm a boarding/doggie daycare/training facility) so my business money was intermingled with the fraud activity money and everything was frozen causing a payroll transmission for Paychex to be returned. I've sent an email asking for the company to stop calling my business and harrassing my employees however it continues. Jason Andrews 630-359-6188 is the culprit!

I am the Administrator for a medical practice in Connecticut, we switched our health insurance in October and Aetna never canceled the policy per our documentation. I have been receiving these calls from Brennan & Clark to collect the October premium and the person I have been dealing with I feel is very threatening and I'm ready to contact the insurance commissioner and the police. We tried to work with Aetna to resolve the matter and it did not go anywhere, they paid claims for a few of my staff members and they want to be paid for the premium after I canceled the insurance for our group. The person I have been dealing with is Dan Roberts and he has been very mean and quite frankly I feel threatened by his conversations with me over this matter!

Hi Matt. It is definitely surprising that companies like this stay in business as long as they have with this type of behavior. The law is catching on to what debt collectors are doing and fortunately, consumers are coming out on top. I would be happy to talk about the threats you're receiving and will give you a call. You can also reach me at 312-224-4695. Thanks, Mike

Hi Hamid. Debt collectors cannot refuse to provide you with documentation regarding your debt, doing so is a violation of your rights and the law. You may be entitled to compensation. Let's talk about this further when I call. Thanks, Mike

Hi John. Disability payments cannot be garnished except under very limited situations. Threatening you is also against the law, so you may have a case against Brennan Clark. Let's chat about this further. Give me a call at 312-224-4695 when you have some free time to chat. Thanks, Mike
