Fight this debt collector- copy and paste onto word program then take it apart fr clarity
Unfortunately the FDCPA does not cover civil suits; however there is a way to de-rail a civil suit from debt collectors such as, Mandarich Law Group, namely Dirt bag , and maybe some others, once it enters the courts as a cause for action.
Rule number one: Anytime attorneys for debt collectors says something in a civil suit they must back it up with cold hard proof. Rule number two: Refer to Rule number one. We're not attorneys and in no way are we initiating any kind of relationship with anybody of any kind. This is just our experience. Furthermore the following is public domain and is from a real civil suit and is meant only to be a guide and that's all and nothing more. What you do with this information is your business and not ours.
Its just a guide. The best way, based on our experience, is to file an ANSWER and DEMAND FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS AND TANGIBLE THINGS FOR INSPECTION FOR TESTING AND SAMPLING SET ONE( this must be on a pleading form otherwise it will be rejected and you will pay extra fees for re-filing). This forces them to prove it and stops them dead in their tracks and if they file an amendment then you can say "oh so you were lying in the first place huh." then Motion to dismiss. If you file just an answer you may have to go to a mediation hearing and possibly lose everything. On the DEMAND make sure you demand the terms and conditions signed by the defendant. Why? Terms and conditions of a contract(s) are copyrighted and are prohibited to be published anywhere without consent. If they do produce one demand a signed written consent. With that the following articles are written word for word form a real civil suit. The problem with it is it is written in plural form and implicates another person who remains UN-named to this day. It is meant only to be a guide. Read this its written in plural form

EZ PEZE
Just received a Summons from them. Not knowing what the Summon was about, I called to speak and sort things out. I spoke with some rep that would not let me talk or explain they are suing the wrong person it was comical. Here is what I did. I researched Google on replying to a summons, used Word ( the have the template in PLEAD PAPER ) and Responded to complaint,FILED IT AT THE COURT HOUSE, filed a Motion to Vacate, Asked for monetary damages . EZ PEZE. When I win I will take them to small claims if The Judge does not award me damages. DO NOT TAKE IT FROM THESE LOW SCUM. Stand up to them and report them to the BBB. They must be stopped.

Don't put up with it
Collection firms as a rule contain some of the most unsavory characters in the legal profession.
When called by the Mandarich Law Group today I took the phone for my significant other as I am overseeing the legal matters in our lives. I explained that we are reviewing the final draft of our bankruptcy petition. I was told that the Mandarich Law Group would have a judgment against us before we could obtain our bankruptcy case no.
As I am generally pretty dismissive of creditor firms I paid no heed to his remarks until I hung up the phone. No wonder clients used to come to our offices almost panicked if creditor firms make it their general practice to tell such lies. Irritated, I called back to speak to the same person and of course he again lied, stating that he had not said that, I didn't understand, etc. and then the phone went dead. Of course any return call was simply put on hold indefinitely.
They are bottom feeders and don't care that the world sees and despises them for their lack of integrity.
PLEASE NOTE: If you tell a creditor not to call a certain telephone number or between certain hours, THE CREDITOR MUST COMPLY or they are in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Act. Read it. ...and COMPLAIN.
Bad things happen when good people do nothing. The Complaint form for the State Bar is:

USE IT!

Mandarich Law Group - Worse Law Group
don't these people have a conscience? they called me repeatedly and I told them to send me the information in the mail.
I read that they work with debt collectors that could be mafia related.

Mandarich Law Group calls me too numerous times about debt collection, also after I told them I didn't want to be bothered any more. It has happened even to call me twice within less than fifteen minutes. There is one man who does most of the calls and is extremely rude. His tone and language are unprofessional, and he uses different threats, for example, that he will take away from me specific things, acting like a judge who has already sentenced me. Moreover, the information that he uses is either old, or incorrect, such as the business that I don't own for six years already. Then he said that he will take away the business of a former employer of mine, where I used to be, again in the past, occasionally, an independent contractor. That, I thought was very funny, but also offensive. At another time he started to read my credit report to me, with the numbers about my debt to other credit companies, that he was not collecting for. HE DIDN'T ASK ME FOR THE LAST FOUR DIGITS OF MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, and I could have been anyone. I told him to just stick to his case. I see his behavior as a pure form of harassment that should be monitored by the proper authorities.

Mandarich Law Group, LLP calls my house every day (including weekends) asking for me by the wrong name. They will not give me any information unless I give them the last four digits of my social security number. I don't give random callers my social security number.
I had to look their phone number up on the Internet to find out they are a debt collector.
Mandarich has not sent written notice of the amount of debt or the name of the Creditor within 5 days of the initial communication with me as required by law. Mandarich should follow the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act legislation and not try to collect on whatever debt they say I owe until Mandarich mails verification of debt to me.
My credit report was just run a month ago and I had perfect credit with no bad debt reported to the credit agencies.
