I was contacted recently for a returned check from my bank. The letter was addressed simply from Law Offices p. O box 2240 Fair Oaks, Ca. (Formerly law offices Paul Stassinos) I called to make payment when letter was received, however, I decided to send in a check when I was informed that there was a 9.95 charge to use credit card over the phone. Check was sent, and I quickly forgot about the matter. Today I was contacted by "Investigator" Michelle I believe was her name, extreemly rude and threatening. Said there was a lawsuit pending if I did not pay 325.00 immediately. I was stunned, I expressed my concern that my check was never received, and my willingness to
clear up this debt, but the fee of 200.00 was troubling to me. She would not relent, insulted me and continued with the threats. (law suit, extra fines, ding to my credit, etc). I payed, and asked to speak to a supervisor b/c she was so rude... Given to someone called tanya... Said she would file a complaint. Still I payed to avoid any further litigation. I have since discovered that they have had previous complaints for similar collection techniques, and that they could be in violation of the law for collection of undue fines. I will cancel my credit card payment and try and settle for the original amount.
