Okay sooo. I received a letter in the mail on January 28th. On the envelope and on the letter head of the letter it read Norman G. Kalina, Esq.
(You can totally tell that this letter is soo fake) Well in the letter it read that I owe them an amount of $130.77 for Levi's outlet. Well this was for a unpaid check which I have no problems paying off my debt. Mind you this was done in 2005 and they are now contacting me about it. I am guessing because it is tax season. Here is exactly what the letter read:
Ms. Torres,
You have not responded to our previous letters regarding the above referenced dishonored check. Check fraud is a crime. Please forward a Western Union "Quick Collect" certified check or money order to the above address payable to NORMAN G. KALINA, ESQ.
We are preparing to recommend further legal action against you for the issuance of dishonored check. Please be advised that if payment is not received within 10 DAYS, we may proceed legally against you for the demanded amount, plus our legal fees and court costs. We are required by law to furnish this notice prior to legal action.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact my office immediately at 201-670-8851.
And at the end of the letter was a stamped signature.
So I called the company and the secretary answered and she referred me over to a woman by the name of Ms. Harper, she was very rude, I told her that I am more than willing to pay my debt but that I would like to make payment arrangements because I am currently out of work, she responded by saying Maam we dont care about your life problems we need the money and it cant be split into payments, she said maybe you should ask your family or someone to give you the money and I told her that I am unable and will not do that. She got real nasty with me and said well a warrant will be put out for your arrest and we will notify the DMV, I said what does the DMV have to do with this? She said well we will have them suspend your liscence. I said Okay lady whatever you have to do, DO IT! I told her that she didnt scare me and that made her even more mad and she was screaming to where I couldnt even understand what she said and hung up on me. So I waited about 10 minutes and I called back again and the secretary answered her name was Sheila and I explained to her the information and everthing that happened with Mrs. Harper and she said she would talk to her supervisor and she would get back with me. Which she hasnt.
I am so glad that I followed my gut instinct and researched there company.
I was really worried and I didnt know what to do I was soo upset considering I have a 2yr old and I am a single mother the last thing I want is to go to jail.
Please if anyone finds anything else out about this company let me know. Something needs to be done for the way they treat people.
I really dont know what I should do if I should pay them or should I contact someone??
