| Complaint What Happened |
I am the XXXX of a XXXX that is in dispute of charges from a repair company. I was contacted by RAB ( Regional Adjustment Bureau ) and informed that they would be collecting the debt. I informed them that I was in dispute of the amount of the debt, but I agreed to pay part of the debt as full payment because I felt it was appropriate compensation for their efforts to repair our issues. I was then sent a letter stating that the debt was to be paid THAT DAY by ACH transfer OR Credit card. Fearing that the company may in some way be deceptive ( Based on internet information available to me ), I stated that any payments would be made by XXXX check. They then made harassing telephone calls to me at my office ( on a recorded line ), then two calls to me harassing me on my cell phone. Then I received a text message stating " Should I call XXXX, XXXX or XXXX to get them to pay your debt ''. Those are my wife and children, not associated in any way with my business.
I proceeded at that point to send an email with the following language : Harassing me in my office by telephone and harassing me on my cell phone are one thing, but sending me a text message threatening to harass my wife and children is unacceptable. I refuse to be on a phone call in which I am being yelled at and berated, hence the reason for my exiting the phone call ( all recorded ), but you have stepped way over the line. I will conclude any business with XXXX directly, ANY business between you and I is concluded. Pursuant to my rights under federal debt collection laws, I am requesting that you cease and desist communication with me, as well as my family and friends, in relation to this and all other alleged debts you claim I owe. You are hereby notified that if you do not comply with this request, I will immediately file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and the New York State Attorney Generals office. Civil and criminal claims will be pursued.
I was contacted twice more that same day by this individual. I feel that this matter will not be resolved and this particular individual will stop at nothing to continue the harassment.
