<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning all. I am writing about an issue that I am seeing with increasing frequency. The purpose of this email is to (i) alert the community of this practice, (ii) learn if others are hearing the same thing from their clients and
(iii) see if folks smarter than me have any ideas how to deal with, or ideally, stop them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many of our clients that record liens are receiving unsolicited calls from collection agencies out of Texas, the two most common we are seeing are Tucker Albin and Assoc. (<a href="http://tuckeralbin.net/">http://tuckeralbin.net/</a>)
and Milton Myers and Assoc. (<a href="http://www.mmatx.net/">http://www.mmatx.net/</a>). Obviously, they are getting the clients’ information by pulling the liens from the public records.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The problem is that they are making blatantly false statements such as they are working with others on the project and can guaranty payment if the client signs up, or they are representing several other lienors on the same project that
are about the get paid and if the client signs up, he can get them paid now. The reason I know these statements are false is because in the last two occasions that my clients received these calls, they were the only lienors on the projects and on both, I
was already in contact with counsel for both the contractor and owner negotiating settlements.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I look forward to hearing from the group.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
