The claim against Frederick J Hanna & Associates was filed in the Atlanta federal court. Richard Cordray of the bureau said in a statement: ‘The Hanna firm relies on deception and faulty evidence to drag consumers to court and collect millions. We believe they are taking advantage of consumers' lack of legal expertise to intimidate them into paying debts they may not even owe.’ Source: Daily Mail
