I received an "Important Notice" from this company stating they had been hired to represent the Kansas City MO Municipal Court to resolve a case regarding unpaid court fees and fines pertaining to a parking code violation. I was to immediately pay $35.00 or face the possibility of being arrested at any time. There was no ticket number, date, etc. Listed in the letter.
I have NEVER had a parking ticket and the name used in the letter was one I have not used for almost twenty years. None of my cars or my license is listed with this former name. Because of these facts, I contacted the Municipal Court.
I was told that their "system does not indicate any warrants or even the ticket number" (as I did not have a ticket number, I used the Case No. Provided in the letter).
I have no idea where they got my name and address - wasn't very good info since my name changed a long time ago! I was upset by the letter (got it the week before Christmas) and it took two days for me to get info from the court that confirmed the letter is bogus. I worry others might have doubts about outstanding tickets, etc. Or think perhaps a ticket was issued but somehow got lost and would pay these people.
