The following letter is the first step in disentangling oneself from the clutches of this outfit.
It should go to one or both of the branches, whichever is/are bugging you.
The next step if they are not thus dissuaded will be to appeal to the victim's State's Attorney General office and the American Collectors Association and his or her local State Bar Association for instructions as to how to file, the proper forms to do so, and what other information is pertinent.

Account # ______________

To Whom It May Concern:

This will serve as your legal notice under provisions of federal law, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), to cease all communication with me in regard to the debt referenced above. If you fail to heed this notice, I will file a formal complaint against you with the Federal Trade Commission who is responsible for enforcement, the State's Attorney General office and/or the American Collectors Association or local State Bar Association.
You are also notified that should any adverse information be placed against the credit reports as a result of this notice that appropriate actions will be taken. Give this very important matter the attention it deserves.

Sincerely,

And by saying they are - they broke federal FDCPA law.

That story about debt collectors collecting from the grave is true, just ask Adam S. Cohen, attorney, partner and debt collector of Phillips & Cohen. This New Jersey agency has sent letters for money in as little as one week after the death of a consumer. Their agency sent out thousands of letters to people who were not yet dead in what was later said to be a massive mistake on their part. See Death Letters (above).

Phillips & Cohen is also involved in filing arbitration claims out of their Delaware office. Don't expect to receive any documents that validity to their claims, many consumers we have talked with say they don't exist. Expect to lose the arb claims as Phillips & Cohen have jumped on the FREE money train the National Arbitration Forum, Minneapolis, MN is driving across America, where debt collectors have a 97.999% guarantee of a 20% profit on their claims.

Since validation of debts is a difficult if not impossible task for bottom feeders such as Phillips & Cohen they have also been known to collect for other vulture debt collectors who have little or documents that back up their claims.

Can death debt collectors like Phillips & Cohen screw you to death, then screw you again? Looks to me as though Adam S. Cohen has already answered that question.



extortion
n. obtaining money or property by threat to a victim's property or loved ones, intimidation, or false claim of a right (such as pretending to be an IRS agent). It is a felony in all states, except that a direct threat to harm the victim is usually treated as the crime of robbery. Blackmail is a form of extortion in which the threat is to expose embarrassing, damaging information to family, friends or the public. See also: blackmail robbery theft


This (non-law firm) collection agency appears to be a cesspool of misfits and lawbreakers that prey on consumers with their lawlessness. NEVER give them any information on your bank/credit accounts, or post-dated checks. YOU WILL REGRET IT!!
