They are ruthless! Told them I was unemployed and instead of working with me they garnished my bank account and took every penny I had. I was paying them in the past but that didn't matter. Out of all the people I worked with only one person was professional and sympathetic. The rest used threatening techniques.

Bottom feeding criminals. Got a judgment on a fraudulent account behind my back.

You are not required to pay any debts to third parties.
Johnson Mark LLC is a third party.
Look up your consumer rights before you agree to pay them anything.

Bottom feeders. BEWARE. These people went to law school, to take the easy way out...specifically Rhett Flaming-Buschman (SBN 031501) and Jonathan D Anderson (SBN 032058). The entire process will be done behind your back, and by the time you are made aware you have a judgement against you, with no time to pay back your original creditor. Had I known, and been communicated with I would’ve paid before a filing would’ve even been necessary on their part. Seeing the rest of the reviews it sounds like their success rate is based on them blind siding you. Their staff is condescending, and their hold times are ridiculous. Keep an eye out and don’t give these crooks the opportunity

They illegally garnished my bank acct. No notification, none from the courts and my money is not legal to garnish. It is ssdi income and protected from these predators

Most people get upset at Johnson Mark because they don like what johnson mark does, I know I owed money, so I went to pay it, I called ahead for hours and directions so I knew how to get there, I waited in their waiting area for 30 mins ringing their "press for service" button every 5 mins, I finally called them again, and it was someone remotely at a call center, they called the branch I was at and when they finally showed up there was no apology, I told her I had been there for almost 40 mins to which she responded,"oh, what do you need" she took my check, gave me my reciept and then said "your paperwork will be mailed in 7-10 business days" no thank you, no sorry, wow.

Horrible service pay off my garnishment and they still took out from my pay checks now I gotta wait to get my money but when they want your money it's now called twice same excuse

I got a nasty letter from them, claiming to represent Capital One. I challenged it, basically saying I need proof that they really own it. Instead of writing back to me, what do they do? FILE A LAWSUIT!! I am now in the process of obtaining a lawyer and most likely filing for bankruptcy.

And to those of you say, “Pay your bills,” you don’t know what happened to get us into these types of situations, so don’t judge us.

This guy called my now husband and is threatening him cause my ex husband wont pay his car payment. Its total bs!

They are very easy too work with.

Ditto to everything written on other reviews. Horrible company. They collect balances from from individuals that owe companies like National DME, LC which never send a bill to the customers giving them a chance to pay the bill.
It’s shocking to receive a notice from an attorney/collection agency for a balance you never knew existed. They should have their clients send a bill first and allow them to pay before strong arm tactics are used

DME sent me to this company because I was challenging the cost of a foot wrap that is 9 bucks at Walmart. Forced to pay a hundred and nothing I can do about it.

Scammers. Know your rights. Demand validation of all alleged debts. Never admit culpability to an alleged debts. They may very well not even be associated with the legitimate business you originally incurred the debt with like your cell phone provider or local hospital. They trick you into saying you owe them money, and then seek legal punishments like garnishment and account seizure. Stop being an easy target, they are bullies and have no bite unless you give them the teeth!!!

These m-effers are DIRTY!! Served us in 3rd District...ok...fine...but filed in 2nd and 3rd?? That's just not right! Thank God our attorney caught it. WATCH YOUR BACK!!

Kinda odd it asked me to review a place I called, but they are ok I guess. Can't really say more for a place I have to give almost half my paycheck to every week, but I guess it was my own fault. The few times I've had to call them to change a payment date they worked with me and made it painless. I cant say I would recommend them because they are a debt collectors, but they are willing to work with you. I just hope most people do not have to deal with them, pay your bills, do not cosign on a vehicle and let the person run off with it and stop making payments, eventually will come back to haunt you.

They are loan sharks

These guys are the lowest of low in junk debt collectors. They do things illegally. They filed a bogus debt and could not even verify it. I had to fight them and waste so much time. Go read all the complaints. Write the attorney general people. These guys deserve to be put out of business.

I wish I could give them a negative rating. They never answer the phones. Then they got into my bank account as well as my kids accounts and emptied them out. I dont see how they are in business. But most of all I hope they burn in hell.

The worst

Paid my account full. 24 hours later they said they received confirmation and emailed me a confirmation letter.

If I could give this company a zero I would. They said they would work with me and after a couple of payments they sent me a letter telling me they are going to sue and seek judgement. ZERO INTEGRITY. ZERO ETHICS. If you work here, shame on you.

Lawyers occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.

--Winston Churchill

Nightmare of a company to work with. Terrible communication and they do not answer the phone or return phone calls. Do not ever plan on setting up a payment plan with them as you will never get a hold of them to do so before they garnish your wages.

I understood I owed the money and was fine with paying. My issue came after the account was paid in full. There had been an overpayment, and after a month of not receiving the money back, I called. I was told it wouldn't be sent out until August 1st, 2 months after the payment was made. When I called back later I was told it would be mailed out July 19th. When I had not received a refund by July 29th I called back only to be told it was sent out July 22 or 23rd, and my only option was to wait. They are real quick to demand money from you but refuse to return the money that is owed to me.

good in the beginning, then south at the end. they were willing to accept late payments due to i would forget about them because there is nothing on paper sent monthly or at all since a court hearing. they would get their money every time. last payment and i had a crisis and asked about a week extension for the last payment and would not budge. bottom feeders for sure. better than the original amount though.

They will garnish you illegally without providing any notice.

A bunch of jokers. Especially Chancey..... The WORST!!!

Johnson and Mark LLC enjoys harrassing people who don't actually have a debt with them. They sent me paperwork saying they were suing me, I didn't even get a notice of debt or anything. When I called them, they didn't even have the right information! It's important to make sure you have the information of the debtor you are trying to collect from. Sleezy sleezy company. Zero stars would be more fitting for this company. Make sure that the debt is actually yours before freaking out! They probably don't even have the correct information! I wouldn't want to go through this company to collect a debt either if they can't even find the correct debtor!!! The only thing good that actually came of this, was knowing that I didn't owe $2,100.48 to these idiots.

Horrible communication won’t work with you. If you owe them money they will take it any way they can! Rude and typical greed!

They lovingly debited my checking account today for an account I don't even own. They are rude, unprofessional and would rather just take it all to court and make you pay the fees. They are predators working for bigger companies. I would never trust this company again. Giving them a one star rating is giving them way too many stars.

This firm is really disrespectful!
I tried contacting them and the secretaries were really rude! I would never recommend their services to anyone. I’m sure they need to get rid of the rude secretaries that talk over you when you tried to explain to them your case etc! Umm excuse me but because of some of us you disrespectful people have a job!

I was working with a different law firm regarding a certain debt that was over the statute of limitation. I was making making payments to such law firm when the client AutoVest pulled the account and took it to JM. JM sat on it for over 4 months before even contacting me. Of course I had to start all over because AutoVest said I was in default of the payment arrangements. I tried to set up payment arrangements with them but could never speak to the same person twice. They gave me my contact person who was never available. Apparently she was the only one who could approve what I could pay. We played phone tag and the end result is they have garnished my husbands wages and now mine. They get 33% of what they collect so no wonder they don't work on getting a better settlement. This is beyond frustrating and to be honest I think that more than just one person should be able to set up payment arrangements. Point is JM is in my opinion sucks!

Considering the business they are in and who their clients are, better than expected service. If you're working with them, consider yourself lucky.

give them their money that you owe them and they will be cool.

the WORST WORST company ever..... they are so mean and so rude... no one wants to work with any one, they do NOT listen to anyone, always talking over anyone who's calls in.... they screw up all the accounts, and they LIE..... TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE.. they don't deserve any stars. IF you ever have to work with them GET A LAWYER right out of the gate...

While purchasing a home, a judgement showed on our credit report. We knew we had paid this long past bill, but had no concrete evidence. We contacted Johnson and Mark (who were not the original attorney's) and to our surprise, they were friendly, helpful, and professional. The first woman we spoke with, Kelly, was amazing. She researched the judgement, found it had in fact been paid in 2012, and then filed a Satisfaction of Judgement within 3 business days. Then, we thought that was enough, but it wasn't. The underwriter wanted the judgement to state the date of payment, along with the file date. Back to Kelly. She was able to consult with the attorney and we had a notarized copy in our email, mailbox, and a new Satisfaction of Judgement filed within five days. All the while, the staff was friendly and professional. THEN, the underwriter wants to know if we made payments, copies of checks, and on what day we made the payments. SERIOUS? Yes, back to Kelly. Working with an on-site attorney, she was able to provide a notarized letter giving us (and the underwriter) all the information. Again, this was delivered to my email within two days and a hard copy followed two days after that.

Are we satisfied with Johnson and Mark? Absolutely. While I do not plan on being a client of theirs again, our experience was positive. Our lesson learned is to keep documentation no matter how long ago something happened (scan it into google drive for safekeeping). In reality, we should not have reached the point where we wound up in legal judgement land.

After being served for a debt I had forgotten about, I called them and they were very pleasent to work with. They promptly sent me a second letter promising to not carry out the judgement if I followed a reasonable payment plan that they were flexible about. My case in ongoing, but so far, so good. If I don't update this, assume it went well. Kelly R was great to work with.
