law offices of bennett and deloney

Did you send everything CMRRR with a cease and desist???

I do believe Bennet and deloney are very incooperative.
they don't understand that i am 17 years old an it is going to take me sometime to pay off my fines.
there very pushy.
and always rude on the phone.
i think they need new workers with better attitudes.
i'm not abput to deal with someone that rude over the phone.

What fines? More details please.

My daughters boyfriend shoplifted from Wallmart and she was with them they were arrested. They pleaded guilty, got 3 yrs probation, $561 fine and are never to go into a wallmart. Today someone from bennett law firm called her on her cell phone and stated they were attorneys for wallmart and she owed them $225 before April 1. They also stated they sent her something in the mail which we never received. Her boyfriend received a call from bennett law firm but its a different phone # and they told him the same thing. He hasnt received anything in the mail either. Is this Law firm a scam?

Okay, first og all they will not sue you unless it is worth the hassel. They are not a law firm, they are a collection agency. They just have any attorney who backs them and that makes them think they can use that info, but it is illegal to state that you will sue someone if you are not the attorney and if there is no intention to do so. You should look up the FDCPA. There are tons of laws that collectors break to get paid that common people do not know about. Each violation is a $1,000 fine from the collector and another $1000 from the agency. If they are harrassing you (calling before 8am and after 9pm) or disclosing information on your answering machine or to another person then you could sue them and make alot of money from the agency. If you do not have the money then you simply do not have it. Pay what you can and if they do not accept your payment then they are breaking the FDCPA! If you do not want them to contact you then send them a certified letter that states for them to CEASE AND DESIST all contact with you via telephone and through the mail. Then if they contact you again, you can sue them for harrassment.
Hope this helps a little.

It is illegal for anyone to try and collect from a minor. They would need to contact your parents.
