Recently I received a letter from Boyajian Law Offices stating that I owed $277.00 for a deliquent cell phone charge with Verizon in 1996. First, Verizon wasn't even around in 1996 and I don't think cell phones were either.

I call their company and tried to figure out what was going on and they said I needed to write a letter to them explaining the situation. I did. i received an automated phone call from their company stating that this was an important business matter and I needed to call them back so I did.

When I tried to explain to the person what was going on he said this is not a cell phone bill this is a residence telephone bill for a kentucky address. I have never ever resided in Kentucky in my life. I explained to them that since 1991 through the present day that I have lived in west virginia and Ohio.

I told them that I could prove it because I have College transcripts when I was a full time student during that time, employment records, utility statements and on top of that a mortgage payment for the state of west virginia during 1996, and numerous friends and colleagues that could vouch for my whereabouts.

I received another call stating I needed to call them so I did and once again I explained to them what was going on and they said this is not a bill for a cell phone or kentucky residence it is for your ohio residence. Well my ohio residence telephone account is in my spouces name and has been for the last seven years. We have never had any problems with this.

So after supposedly being transfered to a supervisor and explaining this story again he said well send me your dd214 to show when you got out of the military and your w-2's, w-4's and anything else that has your social security number and personal identification so we can get this cleared up.

There is no way I would send them anything. I will never talk to them again by any means. I'm no expert but I can tell you this the supervisor had to be intoxicated because he was slurring and couldn't think of what to say and he kept hiccuping and belching which I thought was very non professional I couldn't even understand him because he was slurring so bad.

Anyway I told him that my brother is a lawyer with one of the largest law firms in west virginia and he would be taking care of this for me. I told him to please send me a descriptive letter or statement showing what I was being charged for and he said now wait a minute we don't have to get your brother involved in this just send me the information I requested.

I always thought that when a law firm contacted you stating that they are suing you for something that best practices were to get your own law firm to negotiate for you if you felt that you were in the right and it seems like that Boyajian Law offices would want to deal with another law firm so that they could get this taken care of. As soon as I mentioned that my brother was a lawyer it seemed like they didn't want anything else to do with me.

They have to be crooks they didn't even wnat to talk to me anymore they just kept saying now wait a minute lets not get your brother involved. I think they should be investigated, audited, and shut down.

What a Criminal Slimeball

This is the kind of attorney who gives lawyers a bad name. He's a criminal and should be barred from the legal field, not to mention thrown in prison.

I received a letter from these people on March 17th 2006 stating that I owed money for an outstanding medical bill. I am so glad I found this out about them. I plan on following all legal actions against them in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Thank you all for your comments! Please send any other suggestions on what to do. I hope we can take this guy out of business for what he's doing. This is fraud and harrassment.

Thank you very much for all your help here. I for one really appreciate it.

I have followed the steps you outlined and hope that that takes care of this fool. Someone should dig a deep hole and put him in it and cover it with cement ...LOL!

Robin, the answer to your question..

Fri, March 10, 2006

Robin,

First of all, there is no such thing as a "Cease and Desist" letter.

It is a CEASE COMMUNICATIONS request. And yes, there is a FREE one you can use at budhibbs.com.
Although any request to cease all communications in your own words will do.

Just be sure to send it by certified mail, return reciept requested, and put the certified# on the letter itself and keep a copy for your records.

Good luck

Cease and Desist Letter?

I am trying to find out how to compose a cease and desist letter. Does anyone know of a "form letter" or something like that I can send these guys?

I see no need to contact them again, as they have yet to provide me with any proof of debt

Thanks Steve

I appreciate the info....it's a different address than the Rutherford, NJ on the letter they sent me. I see no need to contact them again, as they have yet to provide me with any proof of debt as I had originally requested. Their information isn't worth the paper it's printed on anyway. Go to www.boyajianlaw.com and try to click on any of the links for lawyers or offices. Even if the satellite offices were other law firms, it should provide a link or some additional information. I regard Boyajian as nothing more than a fraud, and he has yet to prove me wrong.

Jack is only licensed to practice "law" in CA, and is barely hanging on to his license according to the Bar Association.

He has only two listings for office locations and "business" phone #'s. Here they are courtesy of budhibbs.com.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Great response on all counts ..Don't ever send Boyajian's people anything

#15Consumer Suggestion

Don't ever send Boyajian's people anything, and don't give out any personal info about yourself. You don't have to prove who you are or where you lived 10 years ago. If they have proof that you incurred debts that you never paid, they have legal remedies to collect those debts. Even talking to them is a waste of time, as I'm sure you discovered after determining the guy was drunk and got scared when you mentioned your lawyer. But what else would you expect from Boyajian? His web site has drop-down menus for state offices that don't exist....and believe me, I've tried to find their addresses and phone numbers. He claims offices in NYC, Denver, Philly and 20 other US cities, and I have yet to find any contact info for those offices.

Want more? His website also has a drop-down menu of lawyers who supposedly work for him, but the links don't work. That's right, their names are listed but no info on them is there, no backgrounds, e-mail addresses or phone numbers. So I asked to speak to a couple of them during one of my conversations with his office, and they transferred me to someone else's voicemail twice. I doubt any of these people actually exist. He's had listings on monster.com to hire lawyers, but any lawyer worth their salt is going to avoid him like the plague.

Boyajian is a fraud, plain and simple. After his office contacted me I sent a letter requesting debt validation and they never responded. That was 3 months ago. His income depends on sending nasty letters to old ladies in an attempt to scare them into paying. Sadly, many fall for it. He's got numerous attorneys general investigating him, and it's only a matter of time before the hammer falls.

I got that same recording

"i received an automated phone call from their company stating that this was an important business matter and I needed to call them back so I did."

I got that same recording. Once I got the name, instead of returning the call, I put "Boyajian Law" on Yahoo Search, and the RipOff Report came up. Good thing I didn't return that call!

Also, I never took down the number to call them back at, but the number I tracked it to on *69 was 1-800-919-2305. I did another Yahoo search on this number, came up empty. I then went to superpages.com, also came up empty.

Sounds to me like this Boyajian guy is a real scammer. You can now add Rhode Island to the list of states for potential victims.

My advice: if you get a recording call saying "I have an important business matter to discuss with you", don't return the call. If he calls twice, call the cops!

You seem to know a lot about how to handle these types of things. I suggest we get together to pursue these people.

JACK H. BOYAJIAN DOESN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH A REAL LAWYER

#15Consumer Comment

Boyajian is well-known to the FTC and authorities as the lead partner of JBC Legal, a bottomfeeder junk debt buyer, well known for their non-stop violations of the FDCPA. They make their money by intimidation and fear, preying on people who are ignorant of their rights.

Personally, I think your real attorney relative SHOULD send these people a letter, along with a nice cc to the State Bar (Jack Hagop Boyajian is also licensed in California) outlining their violations.
