A month ago, I received a letter from this company addressed to my son threatening him with a law suit if he doesn't send $179.99 to cover the "bad check" he allegedly wrote in 1999. At first I ignored the letter, but then I received a much more threatening letter and I got very anxious that my son could actually be in trouble.
Although my son told me that he never wrote checks at that time (he may not have even had a checking account at that time), I thought that maybe he didn't remember. I called the number given in the letter and talked to Amy Summers (1-888-238-3290, extension 109) - the woman whose name was in the letter. Ms. Summers told me that they don't have copies of the "bad check" but they would present evidence for the court hearing. Then she proceeded to "help me work out a payment schedule."
I was so afraid that my son would get in legal trouble that I sent the money immediately after the conversation. My check has been cashed since that time.
I am ashamed to admit that only now, a week after all that, it occurred to me to check them out on the web. And that's where I found your website and a couple mentions of this "company" that is ripping people off their money playing on their fear. So I am going to report them on Monday and send a letter to Attorney General.
At the same time, I want to alert other people to the fact that this "bureau" continues its operations in spite of the previous reports. And I would like to participate in any class action, if any against them.
