Recently I received a letter from Boyajian Law Offices stating that I owed $277.00 for a deliquent cell phone charge with Verizon in 1996. First, Verizon wasn't even around in 1996 and I don't think cell phones were either.
I call their company and tried to figure out what was going on and they said I needed to write a letter to them explaining the situation. I did. I received an automated phone call from their company stating that this was an important business matter and I needed to call them back so I did.
When I tried to explain to the person what was going on he said this is not a cell phone bill this is a residence telephone bill for a kentucky address. I have never ever resided in Kentucky in my life. I explained to them that since 1991 through the present day that I have lived in west virginia and Ohio.
I told them that I could prove it because I have College transcripts when I was a full time student during that time, employment records, utility statements and on top of that a mortgage payment for the state of west virginia during 1996, and numerous friends and colleagues that could vouch for my whereabouts.
I received another call stating I needed to call them so I did and once again I explained to them what was going on and they said this is not a bill for a cell phone or kentucky residence it is for your ohio residence. Well my ohio residence telephone account is in my spouces name and has been for the last seven years. We have never had any problems with this.
So after supposedly being transfered to a supervisor and explaining this story again he said well send me your dd214 to show when you got out of the military and your w-2's, w-4's and anything else that has your social security number and personal identification so we can get this cleared up.
There is no way I would send them anything. I will never talk to them again by any means. I'm no expert but I can tell you this the supervisor had to be intoxicated because he was slurring and couldn't think of what to say and he kept hiccuping and belching which I thought was very non professional I couldn't even understand him because he was slurring so bad.
Anyway I told him that my brother is a lawyer with one of the largest law firms in west virginia and he would be taking care of this for me. I told him to please send me a descriptive letter or statement showing what I was being charged for and he said now wait a minute we don't have to get your brother involved in this just send me the information I requested.
I always thought that when a law firm contacted you stating that they are suing you for something that best practices were to get your own law firm to negotiate for you if you felt that you were in the right and it seems like that Boyajian Law offices would want to deal with another law firm so that they could get this taken care of. As soon as I mentioned that my brother was a lawyer it seemed like they didn't want anything else to do with me.
They have to be crooks they didn't even wnat to talk to me anymore they just kept saying now wait a minute lets not get your brother involved. I think they should be investigated, audited, and shut down.
