When Mann Bracken fell apart, it turned out the eye of the storm was not in Georgia or Maryland, but right here in Fairfax!
Local attorney, Connell Loftus, was the owner of Mann Bracken:

BEWARE OF HIM, HE IS PURE EVIL.

After the fall
Collapse of Mann Bracken, one of the largest debt-collector law firms, lifts the veil of an 'oppressive' industry

Lynda Siggers of Glen Burnie had fallen behind on her credit-card bill when the Mann Bracken law firm threatened to garnish roughly one-sixth of her monthly wages as a day-care worker. She panicked and said she called the firm to plead her case, agreeing to scrape together $100 as a good-faith payment after a firm representative indicated that might be enough to have the garnishment lifted. But soon after that December call, Mann Bracken had $154 docked from her paycheck anyway. She was forced to turn to her church for help paying rent.
"I just feel victimized," said Siggers, adding that she used credit to pay for necessities like food and does want to make good on her debts.

I doubt I will ever have the pleasure of meeting this man. I pay my bills on time.

If you pay your bills on time, you have nothing to worry about. If you can't afford a credit card payment, don't get one. No one made her get the stuff. The cards, nor the items purchased. Live within your means and you have nothing to worry about.

Many debt collectors are honest. Some are not. One even went so far as to make a fake courtroom! Others will call at all hours of the day and night. Threats of imprisonment are not uncommon. One really nasty one threatened to desecrate the corpse of an alleged debtor's daughter.
As a former Mann Bracken partner, Connell Loftus is among the worst. Mann Bracken associate, Chris Diwan, lied when asked about correspondence to a debtor. He said the firm had never generated any such correspondence. He, and the firm, looked utterly foolish when the correspondence, bearing Diwan's signature, was produced.
