According to Michael Collier was told the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.courthousenews.com\/2012\/10\/12\/51225.htm\">following statement <\/a>when he refused to allow is military benefits to be used towards the debts. <\/p>\n<p>Mr Collier is according the the link disabled with a neck and spine injury at rated with a 100% disability rating. Earlier this year a court had ruled his benefits could not be garnished in May 2012, the funds have not been given back. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Collier says he called Gurstel&#8217;s office, and an unidentified paralegal told him he would have to sue to get the money. When he said the money was exempt veteran disability payments, &#8220;the assistant told Michael, &#8216;F&#8212; you! Pay us your money! You can&#8217;t afford an attorney. You owe us. I hope your wife divorces your a&#8211;. If you would have served our country better you would not be a disabled veteran living off social security while the rest of us honest Americans work our a&#8211; off. Too bad; you should have died.'&#8221; (Spelling as in complaint.)\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Mr Collier is planning on legal action.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Colliers seek actual damages, statutory damages, and punitive damages for violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, conversion, privacy invasion, and malicious infliction of emotional distress.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Originally posted by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/usawtfm\/posts\/390487481021791\">Army WTF<\/a> when they cited Russia Today. I wanted to find another source since there are comments like the following below.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The debt collector is  right. American wars help no one and soldiers are criminals&#8230; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>Typical America. Ah well i have no sympathy for any American. Wake up and rise against your pathetic Governments and corrupt politicians and criminal corperates, bankers, and zionists. Its time for a revolution.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\nThis Faker isn\u2019t the only US military veteran living off Social Security while the rest of us honest Americans work. As paid Mercenaries they Volunteer for the military because they\u2019re too stupid to go to college and too lazy to get real jobs. Working for the military they learn theretofore unknown skills like basic hygiene, how to make their own beds and polish their shoes. Once discharged they get free education, affirmative-action in hiring and promotion for civilian jobs, free lifetime healthcare at the VA and a host of other benefits. Once civilians, the many that are criminals, drug addicts and drunks now have the lifetime excuse &#8212; \u201cI was traumatized in the service\u201d.  We need to bring back the draft and eliminate all exemptions so that the military better reflects the regular society and is not comprised so disproportionate of society\u2019s dregs. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Update Sporkmaster: It seem that JM has found some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.startribune.com\/investigators\/103211324.html?refer=y\">more information<\/a> on the law firm in question. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It seems that a Disabled Veteran is suing a bill collector for the statements he received &hellip; <a title=\"If you would have served our country better you would not be a disabled veteran (Updated)\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=32392\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">If you would have served our country better you would not be a disabled veteran (Updated)<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":610,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[155,13,118],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32392","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-shitbags","category-society","category-veterans-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/610"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32392"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32392\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
