Just got the same letter today from Christine Shaw at the leviton law firm. She has been harassing me for weeks via phone to pay an insurance policy I no longer have. Threatening law suit with a case number & everything.  I thought the same thing when I saw the golf center address.!!!

They have been calling for a long time. I just keep saying ok then hang up. It is def a scam. We owe no one that they claim we do. This one said his name was Matthew Haywood. My calls come up unknown caller.

Me too!

Michael Ashley from Levit Law Firm left message to call back regarding some shipment.  But I have not ordered or received any shipment from anyone.

The "shipment" is crooks talk for fake documents claiming you are going to be sued.  There are more than enough posts in this thread that tell you who is calling, what you should do about it, and where to report it.  I suggest you take the time to read and learn before you become a victim of this crime.

Called stating I owe 7500 for a past workers comp policy. Send nothing by mail. Only makes threating calls and emails.  Very rude

Trying to scare you with lies.  Unless you are a business and therefore have to pay Workers Comp or State Disability premiums, you are not responsible for paying on a workers comp policy.  If you had your own private disability coverage, it would not be called "workers comp" and if you did not pay premiums, your coverage would simply lapse for non-payment.
    Calls and emails are not valid - don't bother talking to the crooks, they will only keep trying bigger and bigger lies.  Ignore and block the calls.

This "law firm" is nothing more than a group that purchases debts for pennies on the dollar and then tries to collect whether the debt is valid or not.  Some of these goofballs (David, Angela) may actually have some type of matchbook cover law degree but could never find there way to or around a courtroom!  Send them a certified letter to the Hoffman Estates address (which is actually the UPS Store) to notify them of your dispute, then file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission if they continue to harass you!

Yes they have been jarring us as well. Did my homework and found out they have been renting a mailbox from UPS for the last 10 years. Notice on the website there is no address. Yet you going to go after people for money. Well I'm not falling for your scam.

This caller called twice this far and was trying to get me to call my husband because he owes money so he say. Well after I started telling him to call him and said he did but doesn't pick up the phone. Then he started giving me the story. I said isn't illegal for you to provide me with confidential information. He got mad and started going off. Did a little research, went to the website and every tab is under construction. Yet they say they been in business for 30 years. No address is listed on the website which go me curious. Called and ask for address looked it up and it's a UPS store. They rent a mailbox from them for the past 10 years. A REAL law firm doesn't have to do this. Be careful with this because they are scammers

Great!!!

they called me for collecting  the money that I am disputing with Hartford. I am so scare and don't know what to do. so I search in the internet for this phone and find out this is a scam.

david katz is calling and threatning me

Yes, it is common practice for them to buy debts from Hartford's old policy audits.  Please read my july 9th post about how to handle these clowns and do not pay them anything.

David Katz is a bafoon!  When he calls you and requests the name of your lawyer so he can file a lawsuit, tell him that you are going to represent yourself since your law degree is about as valid as his!  Ha Ha Ha

Thank you for posting this info. I just got a message to call an Angela Keane at this law firm with the same number.  Thought it sounded fishy but wasn't sure.

These are FAKE Debt collectors. Dont fall for it, report them!

Looks like everything you need to know and to do was posted on page 2, proving once again that it really does pay to read the other posts.

You need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation (by law they have to go back to the original creditor to prove you owe the debt), cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (this will be the best money that you have ever invested).  Also send it first class mail in case no one will sign for it.  Make a notation of that fact at the bottom of the letter.  You also need to report them to the proper agencies to which I have provided links to.  Then you need to go out and get a consumer lawyer to sue them on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket) and let them pay you for the harassment.  If everyone did these three things, these crooks would be bankrupt and we would all be the richer for it.  Use these web sites to find an attorney in your state that will probably take the case on a contingency basis (no money out of your pocket up front):  http://www.consumeradvocates.org/

Everything else you need to know follows including at least two agencies where you should report their criminal activities.

Considering they claim to be a “best place to work” it seems odd they have a human rights lawsuit against them:  https://www.illinois.gov/ihrc/Documents/bennett_cherlyn_12287_12288C.pdf

Note that the FDCPA does not apply to B2B collections nor does it apply to subrogation claims.  The following information will only apply to collections for other than business incurred debt.

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and that they have the legal right to collect it.  You are not obligated under the law to prove that you don’t owe or that it is paid.

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) postmarked within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt.  It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes.  The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.

Read up on your rights here and also make a complaint at this government site:  http://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Also file a complaint with your State Attorney General's office.
