My wife had the same lady say that to her after my wife question the guy

Funny I got the same thing up here in Seminole county

This office called today 954-761-8070 and told my receptionist they needed to speak to me about a bad check I wrote!  They said they were a law firm.  I was livid and called them back.   They were looking for my ex but the fact they told information to my receptionist had me dropping so mad.

So, have you read the other posts?  I several people have given excellent advice on page 1.  Have you bothered to read them?  Did you know that you can sue them for what they did?  I guess not as it doesn't sound like you know that.

You will 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 or more federal and state agencies where you should report their criminal activities.

Web site lists them in Florida and that they do collections:  https://adamjkatzpa.com/contact/

BBB gives them an no rating which is down from the previous accredited B+ rating they used to have with 10 complaints (the BBB removed 6 complaints and also the alert about a pattern of FDCPA violations) as of 10/31/19:  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 or under his name.  This would preclude them from legally doing business or collecting in Florida.

Looks like he was sued:

It is incumbent upon them under the law to prove that the debt exists and that you owe it, and (this is the important part) 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.  If and when you get that letter you should immediately send that debt validation letter by certified, return receipt mail.

First, you should make a complaint at this Federal Agency, and while there you should also read up on how debt collection is supposed to work as well as what your rights in this matter are: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/
