Re: credit collectors harrassing me

It appears from what you have stated that the debt collector may have violated Federal laws and state laws, which regulate the ways a debt collector can go about collecting the debt, even if the debts are legitimate. If you are an active member of the Military, you may have additional options of handling these debt collectors. I would need to talk to you to find out more information, please feel free to contact me for a free consultation or any attorney you wish.

You should not refrain from seeking legal assistance from another firm if you desire another opinion. Because time is always important, and could be critically short in your case, you may wish to seek another opinion as soon as possible.
