Law Offices Of Mitchell N. Kay, P.C., T-Mobile Trying to collect for non-existant charges Smithtown New York
Two days ago I get a letter in the mail stating that I owe T-Mobile for the amount of $109 (US). This is absurd since I have not had a T-Mobile account since early 2006. I have paid T-Mobile twice now, as I am disabled and was tired of the harassment, the stress triggers flare ups. I searched the name of the law office and found many claims on here that summed up my situation: They are filing for money that isn't owed to their client.
I contacted them via e-mail on their website, and have yet to get a response, stating this matter was taken care of twice, and that any further contact to collect this debt will result in my filing harassment charges against them. I also asked that any and all paperwork of from their client, T-Mobile, about this issue be mailed to me for verification. If this is a legitimate claim from them, I intend to pursue harassment and fraud charges. This is the second "debt collection" group they sent me to, and the first took my money and never creditted me until a representative from T-Mobile contacted them, and they admitted to said person I had paid.
The thing that bothers is that, while I haven't had their service in nearly 3 years at this point (January making it that amount of time), they also had my new address, which is not listed or documented anywhere to avoid these kinds of issues. I also am disabled, and had an issue with my bills due to the trailer trash kids next door taking the payments from my mail box, and the money order companies refusing to pay, citing I'm trying to fraudulently extort money from them, even though these money orders were never cashed and gone past expiration. I feel this "law group" had found out that I am currently in debt, and felt they should create a false charge and try to extort money out of me this way, hoping I cave in an effort to regain a positive credit score.
I will make further attempts to contact this company, and if I can't, will take any and all measures to have these charges dismissed.

you should NEVER negotiate or pay a third party debt collector. Rather, deal with the CREDITOR directly. You should learn about your rights. You should go to the FTC website, www.ftc.gov and download the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act. These federal statutes establish specific rights and remedies to consumers when dealing with creditors and debt collectors. You should also visit the Attorney General's (PA) website to learn if there are any additional protections for consumer debtors in Pennsylvania. Good luck.
