Mitchell Kay Law Offices sent an authentic looking bill to our daughter, who is away in college, stating that she owed $453.32 but would settle for a lump sum of $271.99 as a pay off on this account (411993216-B). Our daughter does not even go through T-Mobile. She is with another cellular phone company.
The notice also goes on to say (which would intimidate a person reading this), "Unless you notify this office within 30 days ofter receiving this notice that you dispute the validity of this debt or any portion threof, this office will assume this debt is valid." It further states, "If you notify this office in writing within 30 days from receiving this notice, this office will: Obtain verification of the debt or obtain a copy of a judgment and mail you a copy of such judgment or verification."
On one side it says to return bottom portion with payment, while on the back it says "This letter is for informational purposes only. This letter is not a demand for payment or an attempt to collect, assess or recover a claim against you before the commencement of your case."
It's kind of like, what the heck? Go figure.
