Pressler & Pressler (now operating as Pressler, Felt & Warshaw) is a New Jersey-based law firm that files debt collection lawsuits on behalf of debt buyers and creditors across New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. If the firm has sued you or sent a collection letter, ask them to validate the debt and don’t assume a lawsuit was filed only after a lawyer meaningfully reviewed your file — see below.
Has Pressler & Pressler been the subject of regulatory action?
Yes. In April 2016, the CFPB issued a consent order against Pressler & Pressler, LLP and its principal partners, Sheldon H. Pressler and Gerard J. Felt, along with the debt buyer New Century Financial Services. The Bureau found the firm churned out debt collection lawsuits based on flimsy or nonexistent evidence, in violation of the FDCPA and the Consumer Financial Protection Act, without attorneys meaningfully reviewing whether the underlying debts and amounts were accurate before suing. The order barred the firm from filing suits without properly verifying the debt and required Pressler & Pressler and its named partners to pay $1 million, with New Century paying an additional $1.5 million to the CFPB’s Civil Penalty Fund. If you’ve been sued by Pressler & Pressler or Pressler, Felt & Warshaw, see lawsuit filed / summons for your response options and deadlines.
Questions & Answers
Is Pressler & Pressler a legitimate debt collector?
Pressler & Pressler shows up in the CFPB consumer complaint database, which tracks real complaints filed against real companies — so it is a legitimate, registered entity, not a scam name. That doesn't mean every call claiming to be from them is real; scammers impersonate real collectors. Verify what they're collecting before paying anything — see what to do the first time a collector contacts you.

How do I stop Pressler & Pressler from calling me?
Under the FDCPA, you can send Pressler & Pressler a written cease-and-desist letter and they must stop contacting you except to confirm they've received it or to notify you of specific legal action. This doesn't erase the debt — it only stops the calls. See the cease-and-desist letter glossary entry for how to send one.
