Richard J Boudreau & Associates llc send me a collection letter?

I can tell you that support kids sold my mother in laws case to this Boudreau and Assocaites and they sent a wage garnishment to my father in law's employer. They have so far garnished $1000 from his paychecks and the money seems to be afloat in never never land. It's really quite ridiculous. They had already made arrangements to do a direct pay because Support Kids had not been giving her the money in a timely manner. Then all of a sudden he has garnished wages. The sad thing is the paperwork they sent is not even signed by a judge.

I see everyone complaining on here, so I figured I'd join. How on earth do we get out of using this company to collect our support? My daughters father is 38K behind in paying child support and sends in $50 once and awhile I think to keep them off his back, and they turn around and take 33% of that little bit of money he does send in. We're struggling so bad and I don't know what else to do, but if anyone has any ideas or have done it before...I'd love to know how to get out of this!!!

these people are trying to collect a debt that I settled with another company! can they do this??

no one... attorney or corporation is allowed to call your workplace AFTER you have told them not to do so. you must have a record, i.e.phone record or copy of letter). if they continue to do so contact the trade commission in washington. it may seem like red tape, but they do put a stop to the calls at work as the person or company is fined for each violation verified by your records.

The FTC now allows you to send a letter that states "Cease of Communications" (I add to that, "by telephonic means" and state that letters will be accepted. Once the debt collector receives the letter, report all calls you receive from them. The FTC can fine them up to $1,000 per call up to $10,000 per day for contacting you.

You can still send a written "Cease of Communications" by telephonic means, which stops them from legally being able to contact you by telephone. Certified mail is the recommended way, so that you have proof that they received your letter. If they call you after receipt of that letter, you can file a complain with the Federal Trade Commission for them calling you after receiving a written cease of communications notice and they could be subject to fines for each call.
