Mann Bracken, the enormous debt-collection law firm, recently closed its doors, leaving hundreds of thousands of consumers unable to resolve their debts. Since Mann Bracken sues on many of its debts, the sudden closure also left courts in confusion.
One Maryland judge decided to take drastic measures. According to The Baltimore Sun, he dismissed “tens of thousands” of lawsuits in which Mann Bracken was involved. This is a highly unusual remedy, since the creditors could ordinarily simply hire a new lawyer to represent them in those lawsuits.
If you were paying Mann Bracken when it went belly-up, contact the original creditor to confirm that it will honor any settlement you may have reached.
