My name’s Harassment Harry. I’m a collection agent in Memphis, TN. I’m the one who calls you right at dinner and yells at you for not making your car payment in time. Remember me? I’m the guy who contacts you at work just to humiliate you. I look you up on social media to embarrass you in front of your friends. I scare your family. I make every day of your life worse. Man, I love my job. My arch-nemesis is Memphis bankruptcy attorney Darrell Castle. That jerk gets in my way all the time by helping my victims file bankruptcy. Once he’s helping them, I can’t harass them anymore. And harassment is what I do! So to get back
I’m baaaaaaack! I’m Harassment Harry, the collection agent who hacks into the Darrell Castle & Associates website on occasion to get revenge. I’d hack more, but I’ve been SO BUSY lately. Lots of repossessions to get through. You know those shows on TV about people getting violent when the repo man comes to take their car? It’s disgusting – those shows never talk about all the horrible things I do. It’s hard work to be a jerk all the time! First, my collection agency hires big dudes who’ve spent time in prison. These guys love threatening people and using bad language. Some of them carry weapons. Next, I send them to people’s houses to take their cars without telling the police
I’m baaaaaaack! I’m Harassment Harry, the collection agent who hacks into the Darrell Castle & Associates website to get revenge. This time, I’m really in a tizzy. I’ve never been a churchgoing guy. I spend my Sundays taking cars away from single moms so they can’t get to work the next week. So you can understand my frustration when I heard that Darrell Castle released a new report about the Bible and debt. Of course I downloaded my free copy, and guess what I got? I got these really smart answers that are all taken from verses in the Bible. He talks about God’s love and how debt worked in ancient Israel. This Castle guy even says the Bible has
Q: “What’s the difference between a lawyer and a vampire?” A: “A vampire only sucks blood at night.” Is it really any surprise that a recent Pew poll shows lawyers are the least respected professionals in the country? We’ve all heard the jokes. A lot of people think all lawyers are greedy, soulless bullies who would do anything for a dollar and who don’t care at all about justice. After this weekend’s verdict in the George Zimmerman case, I can easily see how unpopular lawyers really are. Depending on your perspective, you may hate the prosecution, or despise the defense lawyers. You may think the whole thing is so awful that you hate the whole system. A lot of people
This time of year I always get a little scared for my family and friends on the road. I know it’s a time of celebration, but as a car accident attorney in Memphis, I’ve seen what can happen when someone gets behind the wheel after a few drinks. If you’re planning to go out for New Years, please, make sure you have a safe ride home. Whether you use a designated driver, a car share app, or cab company, you can never be too careful. If you plan to drive (sober), please keep an eye out, and get out of danger from any car that looks unpredictable or out of control. Keep an eye on the road both behind and
It’s not too late to file suit against Lipitor By: Darrell Castle Lipitor lawsuits continue to move forward in litigation. Court documents indicate more than 1,200 Lipitor lawsuits have been filed in federal multi-district litigation. These lawsuits claim that women taking Lipitor have an increased risk for developing Type 2 diabetes and that Pfizer, the drug manufacturer, is accused of having previous knowledge of this risk but hiding it from doctors and patients before 2012. In 2012, Lipitor was ordered to put a label on its bottles warning users of the risks associated. However, plaintiffs believe the warning label doesn’t sufficiently warn Lipitor users of the potential increased risk for Type 2 diabetes. What does this mean for you? It’s
Levaquin, Cipro & Avelox have been associated with permanent nerve damage By: Darrell Castle If you’ve suffered nerve damage from taking an antibiotic then Levaquin, Cipro or Avelox may be to blame! These three popular antibiotics are in a class of drugs called “fluoroquinolones,” which are antibiotics used for a variety of community and hospital infections. In 2013, the FDA issued a warning for these drugs requiring label changes warning users about the risk of possible permanent nerve damage – peripheral neuropathy – from these drugs taken by mouth or injection. Peripheral neuropathy is a nervous system condition that often affects the arms and legs, but can affect other areas of the body as well. The condition can leave victims
Xarelto is a blood thinner with no remedy to stop the bleeding By: Darrell Castle There’s a new dangerous drug out there to watch out for and it goes by the name Xarelto. Xarelto is a blood thinner with an awfully dangerous side-effect — uncontrollable bleeding. Uncontrollable bleeding is a risk shared by all blood-thinners. However, with Xarelto, there is no known remedy to reverse the bleeding, causing major problems. Because of this issue, Bayer and Johnson & Johnson are now under heavy legal trouble, facing lawsuits from victims claiming Xarelto is a defective and dangerous drug because of its blood-thinning problems. What does this mean for you? If you or a loved one have taken Xarelto and experience severe
Memphis is a city of scorching hot summers and decently cold winters with weird instances of weather in between. This winter however, it definitely seemed to get a little (maybe a lot) more cold than usual. It got so cold in Memphis that on some particular days, MLGW officials didn’t even come around to read the meters, but instead estimated the amount of utilities used and made up the difference on the next bill. You may have tried your best to stay warm without turning your heat up in your home – utilizing space heaters, snuggling with mounds of blankets and eating deliciously warm tomato soup (or any other flavor of your preference). However, if you’re like me, there came
Car accidents are the leading cause of death for teenagers and have been for decades. Thousands of teen drivers and passengers are killed every year in road crashes. But in a turn of wonderful news, over the last few years the CDC reports that fatality rates for teen drivers have actually decreased by 46%. Insurance companies cite as one explanation the Graduated Driver License (GDL) requirements in some states. States with comprehensive GDL laws that require – among other things – 50 hours of practice, no cell phone use, and restricted night driving have less teen road fatalities. In fact, the rate of fatality in each state tends to decrease according to the strength of the individual state’s GDL law.
