Can A Victim of Corrupt Government Workers Win a Constitutional Claim? Yes!
Back in the day… I was writing about corrupt government employees, especially in the judicial branch, and as a benefit, met some wonderful friends and colleagues.
Thank you to one of the ladies who sent two packets of printouts of my articles that were deleted from the internet when Examiner.com closed down. (Hint. When the say back-up your files, they mean it.)
I’ll repost a few of my faves in the next few days.
Here is one about a beautiful person, inside and out, who had her children removed from her by evil DCFS employees and the judge who went along with the scum.
Open Email to Attorney William Z. White
This blogger is ill and has used all the time she was able to sit up today to write an email concerning the unethical transfer of property from an older woman to the man who defrauded her into thinking he was in love with her. Cliche, yes. But true.
Hopefully, if God does not heal my disease, I will leave a legacy that helps the good people of Arkansas fend off tyrannical government employees, like judges, that transfer property to their friends and family, and themselves, of course.
Pardon the quality of this writing. It is done while I have eaten only a bowl of rice in more than two days, and can barely lift my head.
***************************************************
Mr. White and Staff,
I am extremely ill right now and can only sit for a few minutes at a time. Standing to scan makes me need to puke. But, because Judge Weaver appears to me to be ruling unethically and illegally, I won’t assume she will give me the stay I requested.
My Jewish grandmother who lived in the USSR survived the Bolsheviks and the Russian oligarchy stealing her property, killing her nine siblings and mother and ran, physically on her legs I was told, to Poland, then Germany, then crossed the Atlantic by ship and made it to Los Angeles. We are a tough breed.
Attached is a copy of the Laura Lynn Living Trust Dated December 25, 2014 and Designation of Successor Trustee for the Laura Lynn Living Trust Dated December 25, 2014 that transferred control of my assets to Micheal Pietrczak on July 23, 2015. Attached also is a revocation of Micheal Pietrczak as Trustee of the Laura Lynn Living Trust Dated December 25, 2014. A lawsuit regarding the trust will be filed as soon as Judge Weaver is removed from the bench, as I have no expectation of justice with Judge Weaver presiding.
I made my sons the trustees until July 2015 because Mr. Pietrczak was on a drunken binge, driving from California to Arkansas with our furniture and he was paying prostitutes for sex at the time. Mr. Pietrczak called me about December 28 and begged me to fly out to meet him because he was out of money already. He spent $15,000 driving from California to Clarendon Texas.
Once in Arkansas, Mr. Pietrczak defrauded me again into believing he loved me and considered me his “wife in the eyes of God”. Those were his words.
Mr. Pietrczak had no assets when we met. He was a felon on probation for using fraudulent documents at the US-Mexico border.
He used all my money and my unpaid labor to build a business. When we were denied our opportunity to purchase the property the business was in, I did all the physical labor of writing our arguments for court documents and won the case in spite of Mr. Pietrczak’s continual drinking binges and 24/7 use of cannabis. The arbitrator wrote that he favored the plaintiffs because my family had the assets to purchase the property, not that the broke alcoholic felon had the assets to buy the property. (The arbitrator even noted in writing that he considered me “a rescuer”.)
Mr. Pietrczak put everything that we both earned into his name, including the property on Lick Fork.
Mr. Pietrczak showed a loss on his income tax returns every year, and in fact did not file income tax returns until he met me, he said.
I offered in writing to give him half of what we had left from six years of my Silver Strand Plaza, LLC income and the lawsuit money. Instead of taking my gift gratefully, he and you greedily pursued this lawsuit that could only be won if you had a crooked judge on your side. (It was dismissed when I could afford to hire an attorney in 2018.)
But you saw another opportunity to have Judge Weaver transfer assets from an older woman’s trust to you and your client. Your client will need to pay all the money he keeps to medical bills that the government has paid for him thus far. So, unless you are slipping him some cash, the only individuals who profit are you and those you pay off to help you.
Hopefully Judge Weaver gives me at least a couple weeks to meet with doctors and rest. If she does not, and I am forced to comply with your overbroad subpoena, instead of caring for my health, I hope she will be charged with honest services fraud or at least removed from the bench. Those are probably appropriate outcomes already.
If not, I will keep in mind a friend of my family who was one of the people memorialized in the movie Defiance. I asked him why he believed in God. He said that if there was no God, he would not have survived 18 months in a forest in Germany after being shot in the leg by Nazis while escaping a concentration camp.
Regards,
Laura Hammett
The Rant of Attorney William Zac White
Cut and paste of an email.
Ms. Lynn,
As usual your legal conclusions are wrong. You are attempting to dodge, evade, and obfuscate a valid subpoena duces tecum. I will be filing a motion for contempt on day 11 if you have not provided the information I have commanded you to produce. In any event, I look forward to returning ownership of the property to my client at the upcoming hearing. I wonder what happens to your other suits when you no longer have any claim to an interest (however untenable your claim is) in the disputed real property. I’ll be certain to reach out to those attorneys to let them know that the property is once again in the complete unfettered ownership of my client. Your days of abusing the Arkansas legal season are coming to an end, and I look forward to being a part of it. I am sure you will file a flurry of illegible and unnecessarily voluminous pleadings that will likewise fail. I just wish you would quit wasting everyone’s time and resources on your personal irrational vendetta.

The information he commanded me to produce:
All financial documents pertaining to me, all “intangible items” pertaining to me, and all other items pertaining to me since 2009.
And that is just #1.
Portfolio Recovery Associates did not just do this to me or you: One Assurance of Discontinuance
If Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC, any of the PRA Group, Inc. Subsidiaries or any other debt collector called you and said you owe a debt that you don’t recall and refused to give you adequate documentation of the debt, you might think about filing a lawsuit against them for violations of the FDCPA or your state law regarding debt collection.
Agencies at both the state and federal level have gone as far as obtaining consent agreements to cause PRA to cease the bad conduct and make multi-million-dollar payments of one kind or another. But those agreements do not seem to slow the greedy company from violating the same provisions of state and federal law again.
Here is one Assurance of Discontinuance obtained against Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC by the Attorney General of Massachusetts.
The Just Us System
Here is a weird thing I noticed when I was researching for an FDCPA claim I brought against a debt buyer called Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC:
Similar cases that are brought by attorneys settle for about $1,000 to $5,000 per plaintiff with $20,000 to the attorney who filed the case. I have seen cases that did not settle quickly, where the plaintiffs got about $10,000 and the attorneys got $200,000.
Portfolio Recovery Associates gave me offers of judgment for $1,000 and $5,000. I told them no.
Filing the average case is not rocket science. The attorneys who specialize in consumer protection law can probably write and file a case in 35 minutes.
So, why do the attorneys earn disproportionately more than a litigant who is willing to do the paperwork on her own? Doesn’t that incentivize the lawyers to settle quickly and often, instead of working hard to get to trial? If one or two people make it to trial and a jury awards significant punitive damages, Boom! PRA and its ilk will need to find a different way to harass and rip off the rest of us.
Records From Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC, one of the nation’s most dishonest debt buyers, will often tell a person she owes money to PRA because PRA bought the old debt, even without adequate proof the debt exists.
According to a long line of actions by the CFPB and various State Attorney Generals, Portfolio Recovery Associates does not verify or validate the debts it bought before aggressively trying to collect. PRA knows the portfolios it purchased for pennies on the dollar are riddled with errors.
I am suing PRA for making incessant phone calls to me on a debt that I don’t recall and for which it has inadequate proof. Each call I answered began the same way. “Hi. This is [random person’s name] calling from a recorded line to speak with Laura Lynn. Is she available?”
They knew I had an Arkansas landline, but still treated me as if I still lived in California which is a two party consent state for recording purposes.
Part of PRA’s defense is that it did not make the numerous calls I received in which I hung up on them. They won’t tell me who provides them telephone service so I could subpoena their records. But they did provide their own call log.
Their call log does not match up to my cell phone records.
If you decide to sue PRA to try to deter them from making more improper calls, keep good records. Tape the calls if it is legal in your state. Look up “single-party consent recording” or, if PRA starts the conversation by telling you the call may be recorded it sounds to me like they are giving you permission to record also. (Disclaimer: I am not an attorney. This is just what sounds fair to me and what I presume when someone tells me he is recording a call.)
All the PRA numbers they called me from two years ago that I tried calling back yesterday are now disconnected.
Here is a short list: If you know some of Portfolio Recovery Associate’s old numbers please email them to me or post in the comments.

No Need to Reinvent the Wheel: Government Officials in Searcy County, Arkansas are Repeat Offenders
Did you buy property in Searcy County, Arkansas? Did your lovely rural retreat turn into Hell on Earth?
Join the club.
I’ve complained about Judge Susan Weaver, Sheriff Deputy Ezra Pierce and Court Reporter Jana Perry.
It seems that the RICO type enterprise in Searcy County, Arkansas spreads into more than just the court and sheriff’s office. The clerk’s office looks a little fishy, too.
I researched Caseinfo.arcourts.gov to find other properties that Judge Weaver transferred from control by a trustee to a plaintiff who was purposefully left out of the trust, to see if there is a pattern.
One troubling case I found was not quite on target. The property was lost by judicial foreclosure, sold and the proceeds given to a bank. But the case was hotly contested for about seven years. Yikes!
The part that concerns me most is that the winner of the courthouse sale was the Deputy Clerk of Searcy County, Arkansas, Michelle Loggins.
So, the Clerk Debbie Loggins was the auctioneer of the property and the winner of the auction was Deputy Clerk Michelle Loggins and her husband Paul, who bid $82,000. Hmm?
You may ask, how does a deputy county clerk in podunk Arkansas afford to pay $82,000 cash at a courthouse sale? Well, the receipt from a month after the sale said the payor was “L & L Drywall”. There is an L & L Acoustic and Drywall in Mountain Home, Arkansas. Maybe Paul Loggins is involved with the drywall company. Or maybe the enterprising clerk is double escrowing the cheap deals that can be had through judicial foreclosures. [In reviewing the judgement written by Judge Susan Weaver, I see that Judge Weaver allowed the successful bidder three months of credit at 10% interest per annum. I have not seen any courthouse sale that extended credit before. Some non-judicial foreclosures require immediate payment. Some allow 24 hours. The one judicial foreclosure I’ve been involved with as a purchaser allowed us a brief time to pay, but we had the cash on the day we bid. (2/26/2022)]
The auction sale was not advertised in the local Marshall Mountain Wave. It was advertised in a paper out of Fayetteville in Northwest Arkansas.
The order confirming the sale in Searcy County Circuit Court case No. 65CV-14-20 was signed by Judge Susan Weaver on February 16, 2022.
Another thing that caught my attention is that the person who lost the property was named in two capacities in the suit, once as an individual, Jo Elliot, and once as a trustee of the John Paxton Elliot Trust. There were two summonses issued and served on the woman, one as an individual and one as “trustee”.
I’ve been complaining to Judge Weaver since June 2021 that I was sued as codefendant with a trust as the other defendant and no summons was issued to a trustee of the trust. After more than 200 days Judge Weaver convinced the plaintiff attorney William White to issue a second summons, but White wrote “c/o Laura Lynn (Hammett)” instead of “Laura Lynn Hammett as trustee of the Rural Revival Living Trust”. Summonses are supposed to withstand strict scrutiny of the law. That summons cannot.
All I can say is that if you don’t want to lose your property through a court action, don’t buy property anywhere Susan Weaver is the judge. She said she likes to play with other people’s money, according to an article in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. Apparently, many of the little people in the government of Marshall, Arkansas and the other small towns under Queen Weaver’s reign have gotten in on the game.
What fun.
Why Did Judge Billy Roy Wilson Dismiss a case Concerning the Alleged Fictionalization of a Transcript Based on Rooker-Feldman?
The short answer: Judge Billy Roy Wilson is corrupt.
The more perplexing question is “Why did the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals affirm the dismissal?”
I filed a civil rights action against Judge Susan Kaye Weaver, Court Reporter Jana Perry and Attorney William Zac White. I alleged that the three conspired to make an inaccurate transcript of a hearing in case number 65CV-21-20 in Searcy County Arkansas.
Judge Wilson granted a motion to dismiss filed by Attorney General Leslie Rutledge’s Office on behalf of Judge Weaver and the court reporter before Mr. White even filed a joinder or his own motion. Judge Billy Bob threw in a dismissal for Zac White with no prompting…that the public was made aware of.
One basis Judge Wilson cited for the dismissal was the “Rooker-Feldman” doctrine.
But,
“If a federal plaintiff asserts as a legal wrong an allegedly erroneous decision by a state court, and seeks relief from a state court judgment based on that decision, Rooker–Feldman bars … jurisdiction…. If, on the other hand, a … plaintiff asserts … an allegedly illegal act or omission by an adverse party, Rooker–Feldman does not bar jurisdiction.”
Hageman v. Barton, 817 F.3d 611, 614–15 (8th Cir. 2016)
My complaint specified that I was not asking for review of a state court decision. Though, the bizarre decisions made by Judge S.K. Weaver should certainly be overturned.
It seems to me that collusion between an attorney, a judge and a court reporter to fictionalize the record should be considered an illegal act.
Welcome to Grisham Land.
My suggestion is that if you have any assets, you don’t bring them to Arkansas. A redneck judge at the Federal or State level might decide one of his buddies should be granted your assets and it sucks to be you.
Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC: Let’s Stop Their Harassing Calls Together
Have you had harassing phone calls from a debt collector that calls themselves Portfolio Recovery Associates or PRA?
Their calls begin “Hi, this is Jane Doe, calling to speak with [the mark’s name].” They do not tell you the company name until you are recorded as having the birthdate or social security number of the alleged debtor they are trying to reach.
Portfolio Recovery Associates is infamous for buying junk debt, pennies on the dollar, then using pit bull tactics to convince their marks to pay the alleged debt.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau found that PRA knew many of the lists of debt they purchased were inaccurate, and actually collected on those debts, a high percentage by default judgment.
I filed a pro se lawsuit against Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC to try to stop them from harassing others.
PRA is claiming that many of the phone calls I remember receiving were not from them.
Here is a short list of phone numbers the calls came from:
(760) 760-9002
(646) 681-3007
(313) 305-1334

If you received a call from any of these numbers or other numbers owned by Portfolio Recovery Associates, please send an email to bohemian_books@yahoo.com and we can share info.
If you are being sued by Portfolio Recovery Associates, let’s chat. I am not an attorney and cannot give legal advice, but I can share my story with you, links to informative websites and encouragement.
It is likely that your experience will be interesting and helpful to me, as well.
And please, post PRA phone numbers that you know of in the comments below. They neighbor spoof, so there are hundreds or thousands of numbers, too many to block.
Will Judge Susan Weaver Overlook Her Pet’s Complete Lack of Argument in His Reply to Motion for Default Judgment?
Arkansas Attorney William “Zac” White filed a motion for default judgment that would transfer title of 40 acres and a house from a trust to his client. For some reason, which I can only speculate about, Zac refused to issue a summons to the “trustee” of the trust.
Judge Susan Kaye Weaver has favored Willy White throughout the proceedings. Attorneys who will remain nameless, as they need to work in courts presided over by the very blond judge, complain that Judge Weaver chooses “favorites”. But it appears to this writer that she does not just favor one party over another. She makes an affirmative effort to throw “the game”.
For example, in the case of Pietrczak v. Rural Revival Living Trust, et al, Judge Weaver dismissed the pro se plaintiff’s counterclaim sua sponte, with no notice, without specifying the inadequacies in the pleading.
A response was filed to the motion for default judgment.
Mr. White had 5 days plus weekends to reply. He waited an extra week, then filed the “response” below.
Besides calling his reply a “response”, he said the Defendant filed the motion for default judgment. Read the title.
If you are not familiar with motion practice, read my objection to the insufficient “response” posted below. I am not an attorney and this is not legal advice. It is an actual court document intended to explain to Judge Weaver why, as much as she hates me, she is not allowed by law to transfer title to the property based on the motion for default judgment.
