I was contacted by a woman who identified herself as Suzanne Lunham of Rephen Law Firm in New York. She said they were collecting on a bad check written to my physicians office two years ago. I expressed surprise and annoyance that this could have even occured. They requested payment right away, but did not even mention the amount "due." I requested all their contact information and a file number and told her I would contact my bank and my physicians office before I would send anything to them, and instructed her not to call my number again.
I contacted my physicians office and was assured that this was a bogus claim and not to pay it.
I called Ms. Lunham of Rephen Law Firm back and left a message on her recorder stating who I was, my file number and that I would be reporting her firm to the Nebraska Attorney General's office. Which I will now promptly do.
