0 STARS Consumer Fraud and Professional Misconduct

Mr Castillo works for HPD . In 2013 a Family building received minor violations totaling 1500 $ for repairs in a tenant apt. The Super handled the case with the mgmt co. after a few failed attempts to gain entry to apt, HPD filed a lawsuit and was issued a default judgment for 25 k ( which was serv...ed at my home , but never received bcs i was traveling. ) A copy of the judgment was also served upon the tenant who did not notify mgmt or Super it until time to file answer expired thus the default judgment ( from 1500 to 25 k ) Super retained Howard Chin Esq to reopen the judgment and offered a settlement of 5 k to be completely paid off in installments by Nov 2014 , which was paid End of Nov 2014 by the Mgmt Co . Without my knowledge . in December I filed for Chapter 11, HPD wss added as a creditor (index 1361/13 ) but since they HAD ACCEPTED THE 5 k pmt ( unbeknownst to me ) They never replied , not to the the trustee , or the chapt 11 Atty . There were no communications from hpd, no collection activity or demand for pmt . As the debt had already been paid . In Feb 2029 , My son who was a joint beneficiary on the account advised there had been a Restraining order placed on the account for 25k . I was still traveling but was able to communicate with Mr Castillo and asked him to immediately bcs the debt had been paid in 2013 . He released the hold only to restrain the account again in Dec 2019 . He proceeded to hire Sheriff Russel Shuylar to Levy the money after Pandemic Lockdown April 1 st 2020 for a total of k 39,000 Thousand Dollars , part of an insurance house insurance pmt to fix a partially collapsed roof in my property . Both Mr Castillo and Schuyler refused to answer my calls . When i called the to report theft by Fraud , Mr Castillo called me and blamed Schuyler for withdrawing the money and said he would return if i had an attorney representing me . I paid 1000 to hire an atty to get the 39,000 back and he could not get thru to Mr Castillo , when he reached out to the Sherrigf , he was told that he wasn't at fault . He had done what Mr Castillo told him and until he heard from Mr Castillo he would not release the funds . My roof is now getting more damaged and mold is growing in that part of the home because HPD employees stole the money from the ins refund to do repairs . I cannot continue to pay attorney to get back what should never had been taken . I'm 87 years old and this is considered a Crime . My Family is filing a lawsuit against Mr Castillo , Mr Schuyler and HPD for restitution of 45 k plus attorney fees plus punitive damages in the amount of 300000 In addition , will will demand a disciplinary action against Mr Castillo and fight to have him disbarred or at least forex from HPD so he can't victimize anyone else . Don't DO BUSINESS WITH THIS PERSON
