    Corporate Advocacy Program
An associate from this firm called and informed me that I needed to pay a bill within a few days to prevent further legal action that could lead to arrest and imprisonment.

I advised him that I would return his call when it was convenient for me to discuss this matter and glean additional information from him.

Upon my arrival at home, I realized that the bill he was attempting to collect was a bill that had been paid in 08/09 and this could be easily resovlved when I forwarded the receipt.

When I contacted the referenced firm, the associate refused to provide me with an email address so I could forward the affirmation of the bill having been paid and became aggressive and disrespectful.

I ended the phone call and proceeded to contact my attorney to be a mediator because this firm has obviously obtained erroneous information and is attempting to collect on bills that have been paid.

This is additional confirmation of unethical, unscrupulous practices by some law firms.

THIS IS A SCAM

AUTHOR: Joe - Austin (U.S.A.)

BOTTOM FEEDING COLLECTION AGENCIES BUY LISTS OF DEBTS THAT HAVE BEEN DEFAULTED ON KNOWING THAT THEY CAN'T COLLECT UNLESS THE PERSON ACKNOWLEDGES AS HAVING BEEN THE PERSON THAT INCURRED THE DEBT AND THAT YES THEY DO OWE THE MONEY.

THIS IS HOW THESE SCUM GET AROUND THE TWO YEAR STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS WHEREBY IF THE DEBT HAS NOT BEEN PAID, THEN THE PERSON TO WHOM THE DEBT IS OWED HAS TO WRITE IT OFF.

IT IS ILLEGAL FOR THESE PEOPLE TO CALL YOU AT YOUR JOB AND I WOULD HAVE TOLD THEM SO. AND I WOULD HAVE THREATENED TO SUE THEM UNFAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES.

THEN I WOULD GO HOME AND PUT AND ANSWERING MACHINE ON MY PHONE AND SCREEN ALL CALLS OR I WOULD GET AN UNLISTED AND UNPUBLISHED HOME PHONE AND ONLY GIVE IT OUT ON A NEED TO KNOW BASIS.

YOU DO NOT OWE THESE SCUM A THING.

SO DO NOT PAY.

THEY WERE NOT FROM A LAW FIRM EITHER --THEY WERE JUST PRETENDING TO BE IN ORDER TO BE MORE INTIMIDATING.

IF YOU SEND THEM ANY MONEY, YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY THE ENTIRE DEBT AGAIN SO DO NOT PAY THEM A DIME OR TAKE THEIR CALLS.
