Don't answer their calls, or if you choose to, tell them to verify this so-called debt through the mail, and until such time, you will not accept any further communication from them.  You don't have to tolerate ANY harassment from "Carol", or anyone else over the phone!

Some one has been leaving me messages about a medical bills that supposedly wasn't paid.. I have full health insurance and never received a bill.. just block the number and don't ever pick up..
She says she's a lawyer but she's full of [***]..
Just trying to scare you into paying..
They won't waste their time taking you to court and or showing up..
BLOCKED THEM

I received a credit alert that I had a change to my credit report. The alert says that Adam J Katz PA ran a credit check for an "installment loan". I haven't applied for one, also, why would anyone attorney be giving an installment loan?? So after reading these posts I'm very concerned who had my info and why are they trying to open accounts on my name??? Beware all, check your credit to see if he pulled yours as well!

It is possible that your name was sold to a debt buyer.  Many times people are on those lists mistakenly.  This outfit seems to have a bad track record, the attorney has been disciplined, although I can't tell for what. I would expect a call from these crooks.  Do not fall for their threats.  Make them follow the law, and when they can't do that , sue them.

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.

Then:

You need to send them a certified, return receipt debt validation, cease and desist calling, or "not me" letter (think of it as the best $6.47 you 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/

Web site lists them in Florida and that they do collections:  http://www.adamjkatzpa.com/contact.php
BBB gives them an accredited B+ with 11 complaints that detail a pattern of FDCPA violations:  http://www.bbb.org/south-east-florida/busines ... ings-fl-8000098
Looks like he is officially a criminal, yet he still has a license to practice law?  http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2006-02-11/n ... s-appeals-court
I can’t find a registration with the Florida Dept. of State or a collections license under that company name.  This would preclude them from legally doing business or collecting in Florida.

You might need to put a freeze on your credit reports at all three firms. It is simply too easy for unauthorized credit inquiries to be made by people who have no legitimate reason to be making those inquiries.

Meanwhile, you could file a complaint at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau website :
http://www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint/

=== But look lower on that webpage. It says :

How will you use my information?

We forward the information you provide so the company can identify you and address your issue. We also share complaint data with state and federal agencies who oversee financial products and services, and we publish a database of non-personal complaint information so the public knows what kinds of complaints we receive and how companies respond.

I am currently dealing with the very same issue.

Called my cell ,house , my husbands employer in a row said they were P.a.'s for Adam Katz law firm reference to a legal matter. . I immediately returned call talked to a Carol. I don't deny owing the money for said bill however I told her I would make arrangements n i got told I couldn't do that. Then 2 days later a Tina calls n i told her there was an emergency with my daughter n her pregnancy and I couldn't talk right
Then and she proceeds to tell me that she. Has 2 daughters who had kids n blah blah blah n i needed to make some king of arrangement now. Well why does one say can't do it and another wants to call an harass. I also told them do not call my husbands work as he will lose his job. Well Tina called in order my cell my house my husbands employer n i called her back n started to flip out , she hung up on me .lol. However I returned it by calling Carol back n told her which she claims they will be sending it out to file charges . go ahead. Its for 2370. 00 take me to a majestrate . idc. But the lies and the b.s. I've have it.

If you take the time to read my other two posts, you will know exactly what you need to do, who to report it to, and where to find an attorney to sue them for all the FDCPA violations they just made.

Got a call from Gale Parker. Calling on behalf of Law Firm of Adam Katz. Trying to move forward with a legal review. Never heard of any such term before in my life. Called my attorney. All I had to say was the name Katz and he said they're scumbag debt collectors just trying to get me to call them back. He's very familiar with them. He's gonna call them on Monday and put the fear of god into them.i will update everyone reading this come Tuesday.
