Hi, I had a problem with this issue in December of 2000 when a law firm contacted me about reconciling this problem - (checks were written in 1993). I posted my questions here in late December of 2000.
I AM ALWAYS LIABLE was most helpful to me, and gave me the appropriate chapter of the M.G.L. as the checks were written more than 6 years ago. Cpdwife was also kind enough to give me information concerning her similar issue. I was armed and ready for them when they called back.
Well, they DID call back yesterday (August 5, 2001). When I gave them the case cite, he balked and asked me to call back tomorrow (today) to speak with his supervisor. I specifically asked if this were a collection agency and he responded, "No, this is a law firm." The December caller stated the same - it was a law firm calling on its client's behalf.
Well, his behavior seemed unusual, so I did some research on the Internet. I have found out that this firm IS in fact a collection agency out of New Jersey -- NOT a law firm. On both phone calls they intentionally misrepresented themselves.
My questions: Is this an issue for the FTC? Should I file some type of complaint? There should be some punishment for a sleazy collection agency to try to scare an individual by stating they are a law firm.
Thanks in advance for your time!
