North Shore Agency Bottom Line Books False collection attempts! Bully attempts to get money for Bottom Line Books. I don't owe... Old Bethpage, New York

Send a letter stating you did not order the book.  Send the letter by certified mail with a return receipt to the collection agency.  In the letter state that if they continue to harass you, you will invoke your rights under the Federal Fair Debt Collection Act.  Also, state that you are sending a copy of this letter to your state Consumer Office of the Attorney General.

Then actually do what you said you would do.  A call or letter from the Attorney General's Office of your state will generally stop the harassment.  Otherwise, go to the Small Claims Court and sue them for the limit (usually $2500-5000) so that they will have to produce the evidence in court.

Have you asked them for their evidence that you even ordered the book?  Sometimes that gives you a clue as to who it should really be billed to and not you.
