Re: (Your Name) vs Dirt Bag Collection Agcy.
Our File No.: PD123456DA

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing on behalf of (Your Name) to make formal demand for damages due to the following violations of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act ("FDCPA") ("you" and "your" below refers to your company and all culpable personnel). Specifically you violated the FDCPA by:

1. You have violated 15 U.S.C. 1692c(a)(1) by calling my client on numerous occasions before 8 a.m. and after 9 p.m.;
2. You have violated 15 U.S.C. 1692e by asking to be "put through to your payroll department to garnish your wages" when in fact you had no legal order nor right to do so;
3. You have violated 15 U.S.C. 1692f(1) by trying to collect a six year old debt when in fact my client had proof that the amount was paid in full by check in 2006, cashed by your firm;
4. You have failed to provide the entire warning required by 15 U.S.C. 1692e(11) on numerous calls to my client;
5. You have violated 15 U.S.C. 1692e by harassing my client with an excessive number of calls despite his demands to stop calling;
6. You have violated 15 U.S.C. 1692e(8) by communicating to any person credit information which is known to be false, including the failure to communicate that a disputed debt is disputed;
7. Failing to provide the entire warning required that, the debt collector is attempting to collect a debt and that any information obtained would be used for that purpose only, on numerous calls to my client.
** See Foti v. NCO Financial Systems, Inc., 424 F.Supp.2d 643, 653 (S.D.N.Y. 2006) (citing 15 U.S.C. 1692g).

The above is not intended to be a complete list of violations you have already committed but only the results of our initial investigation into this matter. Please be advised that, if this matter should proceed to court, my clients would have the right to bring suit in federal court, you would be required to pay their attorneys fees, and you would be subject to an award for statutory and/or actual damages. In addition, you are subject to possible emotional damages due to your violations.
** See Smith v. Law Office of Mitchell N. Kay 124 B.R. 182, 185 (1990)

Our settlement demand is $15,500.00. If you chose to ignore this letter, then we will have no choice but to pursue my clients claims in court. Be advised that this is not an idle warning.

We hope you act accordingly,

Jim,

Thanks for the info - I didn't think of trying the FBI

I guess we are both in the same boat - US Army here.

They gave up in their Columbus, Ohio office after I took them to Small Claims court, and passed this so-called, FABRICATED claim to their Cincinnati office.

Ignoring the fact that I presented a two-year old check cashed by WWR they now are trying to take me to Court (after adding ANOTHER $600 in BOGUS charges).

I have now (FEB-08) filed charges with the F.B.I., Cincy BBB, Ohio State Attorney General, Ohio Senators and Congressmen, Veteran's Affairs Bureau and plan to Cross-file a counter-claim in court as well as estabilish a CLASS-ACTION against Weltman, Weinburg and Reis.

..... They just messed with the Wrong Marine!!

Semper FI! - Stay tuned!!
