I started receiving calls from Tate & Kirlin earlier this month (August). I told them on the phone I did not have any knowledge of the account they said I owed them. On August 20th I received a 30 day demand letter. I have mailed them a letter disputing the account and asking for proof.
Well on August 30th, they reported my account to the credit bureaus. I know this because I subscribe to a service that lets me know of any changes, etc to my credit report. They reported a disputed account to the credit bureau and did not allow even 30 days from the date of their initial letter to me.
This is in direct violation of FDCPA laws and FTC regulations and they should know better. I would love to see these knuckleheads get into some hot water with the FTC and have to pay out a few million to some disgruntled people they have tried to mess with who are smart enough to do something about it. Class action anyone? I am game.
