In 1997, a check pad, passport, and PC were stolen from me in Douglas County, NE; the theft was reported to the Sheriff's Office. I closed the checking account early the next morning.
The Sheriff's investigator later provided me with information about the thief and her subsequent actions: The thief, Ms. Stella De Leo, wrote checks to a number of businesses in Nevada (my checks were drawn on a Texas bank and my home address was then in Texas). Once such check was written to Dillard's store #3372 on 07JUL1997. Ms.De Leo was arrested at Circus Circus in Nevada one day after attempting to pass another of my checks there.
I was contacted a bit later in 1997 by a collection agency. I provided them with the investigator's name and case number... And did not hear from them again.
On 30APR I received a letter from "JBC Legal Group, P.C." stating their intention to bring action against me under State of Washington law if I did not pay them within 30 days. (Side note, they claim the 30 days run out May 23rd; yet the letter was postmarked 27 APR even though dated 24 APR).
I'm not paying JBC a dime... But I will offer to send them a notarized statement if they first send a check covering the notary fee, postage, and envelope.
