Complaint Review: Mitchell N. Kay PC Law Offices

In the mail, I received a bill for $236.18 owed to this law firm who is handling this account for Voicestream/T-Mobile. I did have an account with Voicestream/T-Mobile over three years ago which I paid off in full through a Texas-based collection agency.

The representative I spoke to on the telephone said that I owed the amount; I countered that it had been paid in full. He said that it had not and was on my credit report. This was patently false because I just got my credit report, coincidentally, about one month ago and there was no such item on the report.

This is a very shady law firm who is hoping to take advantage of people who may have had some financial trouble/late bills/ in the past. I actually paused for a minute when I first got the bill and thought, "Wait, did I pay this?" The truth is I DID pay it and these unethical people are trying to get money from folks with little money, like myself, simply because they can.

Don't be fooled. I plan to contact Voicestream/TMobile to get confirmation that all has been paid. Additionally, I will find those cancelled checks AND file a complaint with the Better Business Burean, the Federal Trade Commission, and contact local consumer watchdog groups both in NYC and in my new home state of California. This sort of legal chicanery is reprehensible and should be stopped and legal action should be taken against these unscrupulous individuals.

We all have busy lives, but if this happens to you; do as I am doing and make time to research into this as much as possible. These people are criminals.
