We have been contacted several times by Williams Cohen & Gray and they want us to pay 1.575$. We have no idea why and to whom and they have never sent or disclosed any details. They call us and try to scare us and they are very rude. On top of that, they have sent us a letter now, where they will put a private investigator into action. He will take pictures of us and our employees, interview them and the county and then prosecute us.

On the front of the letter is printed "Lawsuit" so people can see that something is wrong.

We have no idea who they are and why they horrass us???

Here is what to do..

Please say that you have kept a copy of the letter that says "lawsuit". Because if you did you are in the drivers seat.

All debt collectors in the US(and an attorney attempting to collect a debt is considered a debt colllector) MUST follow the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act(FDCPA). If they violate any part of it you can file suit against them for $1000.

One of these violations is making threats of something they can not, or have no intention of doing. You can not be procecuted for a debt so that is violation number 1. Just like they can't tell anyone else why they are contacting you, they can not do is put things like "lawsuit" on the front of an envelope. Here you have them on 2 points. Not only the fact they they are inferring you are being sued, but just the fact that they wrote it on the envelope. With the envelope as proof they really have no defense.

On top of this, if you request Debt Validation and they can not prove that it is your debt. If this "debt" is on your credit report and they refuse to remove it you can sue them for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act(FCRA). Again for up to $1000 plus actual damages. So if this is on 3 report you could go for $3000, on top of the other $1000 for the FDCPA violations.
