Great Seneca's Ghost is continuing to try to collect judgments

I received two calls last week from people in different states who are facing renewed collection activty on Great Seneca Financial Corporation judgments dating from as far back as 2003.  I have written about Great Seneca before. The thing to remember is that Great Seneca and a numbrer of associated companies are defunct, dead, ceased to be, toes-up, shuffled this mortal coil and gone to join the choir invisible, breft of life, they rest in peace, they are ex-companies. 

Here is a list of the dead companies that shouldn't be collecting from you. 

Great Seneca Financial Corporation
Platinum Financial Services Corporation
Monarch Capital Corporation
Colonial Credit Corporation
Centurion Capital Corporation
Sage Financial Corporation
Hawker Financial Corporation

A company named Stone Creek Financial, Inc. has claimed to be the assignee of some of these judgments, but the documents that I've seen don't include an assignment of individual accounts.  They have used a lawfirm named Slovin & Associates Co. L.P.A.  

If you are receiving letters regarding a judgment of any of the dead companies, or if they are trying to seize assets or garnish wages out of a judgment relating to these companies, please contact my office at 317-662-4529.  If you are not in our area, I will look for a NACA consumer lawyer in your home state to refer you to.

Our Great Seneca's Ghost Case is in the News

Top-notch Reporter Kara Kinney of WRTV-6 in Indianapolis just posted a story about the lawsuit that I am working with fellow NACA member Keith Hagan and the Chicago firm of Edelman & Combs. We filed it as a nationwide class action against debt collectors who are trying to collect judgments under the names of companies that have been administratively dissolved - DEAD COMPANIES in other words. The dead companies are:
Great Seneca Financial Corporation
Centurion Financial Corporation
Colonial Credit Corporation
Monarch Capital Corporation
Platinum Financial Service Corporation
The video version will air tonight at 6:00 PM EST. Internally, we call this "the case of Great Seneca's Ghost."

If the video is posted to the web, I will embed it.
