Mic

Does this letter sent by Mitchell Kay give you the complete information about your debt? Federal laws force the collectors to prove their authorization regarding the debt they are collecting for? FDCPA laws on debt validation will provide you a clear explanation on what should be your next move.

Same, scenario. Rude Message for someone who I have never heard of regarding a bill I had never heard of. Attempted to call, when they were closed decided to search for info on-line to prepare for possible identity theft issue, had no idea, possible scam issue which could be just as bad to pursue. The info is helpful. At this point they have not sent any letter and seem to be calling the wromg number for someone. I hope that is the case.

I recently got multiple messages at home from mitchell n kay stating i owed money, they sent me mail & so I know exactly why they were calling(I never received mail from them). when i finally called them & requested for their web-site, they simply handed over the phone to another guy, "tom," who refused to to give me their web-site info(by this time i knew they were not legit). tom stated that i owed amex over $148,000. when i stated that i never had an acct with amex, he asked if the last 4 ss digits he stated matched mine. i said no & asked how he got my phone number, he stated the debtor gave it to them... which i do not believe is the case. when i showed concern b/c my number & name is being used, tom said don't worry about it & hung up..

if i get one more call from them i will def take legal action against them. this is ridiculous how they are trying to take advantage of people. 354 State St Ste Ll1, Hackensack, NJ, United States

Phone: (201) 488-8666 is their info. i am from the new jersey area and have some lawyer friends who will be more than willing to help. all their messages are recorded in case i need it for legal action against them. basic line is... they need to stop!

It looks like everyone is extrememly unhappy to say the least.

If you feel that Mitchell N Kay are a "scam" for whatever reason, file a complaint. Check out http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/oae/index.htm
You can call them at 800-406-8594, or send them an "Attorney Ethics Grievance Form." There's a link to it in red on the web-site. Good Luck!

I just got a letter from the above mentioned "law office" asking me to pay a lump sum of $350!
I'm pretty sure this is a scam, but not doing anything against this would cause me any problems?

they have been calling me for two months. They have the wrong person, the wrong number. They are nasty on the phone and won't stop calling. I hate to change my phone number but I may have no choice. These all low life, can't get a better job hustlers working for a law firm that should be fined and the all the attorneys thrown in jail.

This company sent a letter to my wife saying we owe a balance of $500 dollars.
Our original debt to AT&T was $967, and only 2 months ago we agreed to a settlement offer from another agency for 35% of that(about 350 bucks).After paying the settlement the account was to be considered "paid in full". So what do I do now that another collection agency(Mitchell N. Kay) is contacting me about an unpaid balance on an acoount we settle ? I still have the contact letter from the agency, along with a bank statment showing we paid the 35% to bring us paid in full. WHat now?

Ok, I aid off a debt of my wifes 2 months ago. I paid an agreed upon settlement of 35% of the total owed to a collection agency representing AT&T.
Today we go a letter from another company (This Mitchell N. Kay) stating that she owes a balance of 500 dollars. When we paid the other, it was considered paid in full. I retained the letter from the other company with the settlement offer, as well as my bank statement showing that the payment went through 2 months ago. What do I do now? Ignore Mitchell?

I too have received letters and calls. I believe it may be At&T fault. I believe that when Cingular bought out AT&T, it you owed any late balance to AT&T but later paid it off, they never relayed this to Cingular. At least this has been my case.

8/9/06 I received notice of a debt from midland credit management for an Aspire Visa card I never heard of. After sending two certified letters asking for debt validation with no response I get a letter from Mitchell N Kay law office asking for even more money on same bogus debt. So Far Kay has not picked up two certified letters to them asking again for validation. Anyone know an address that I can actually reach these people where they will accept a certified letter?

I received a letter for a debt that I never incurred, turned out to be an identity theft situation, submitted all of the information and a police report to the actual company itself of all of this was 2 years ago and I thought it was all cleared up. Obviously not bc now I think it has been opened back up (I researched on the internet where they are doing these things nowadays even thought you were cleared at one point in time) But I think my downfall is that I never received anything in writing from the original company saying that it was clear it was over the phone bc I kept calling to make sure they received everything they asked for. And I was wondering how do I submit a dispute letter to this Law office and do I submit all of the things that I submitted to the original company 2 yrs ago?

Raises hand!!

I have to share this with you. I cosigned a loan for my daughter for her first car through Honda. She totalled the car and took her sweet time paying it. it went to the Law office of Mitchell Kay. My daughter tried to pay with a check over the phone to pay the balance. The check was reversed by her bank when the CA did not process their end of the paperwork within the 24 hour period. Anyways, My daughter got a copy of the check and those idiots at Mitchell put my name and adress on the check, used First Union as the name of the bank and her account no. For starters the checking account wasn't mine, secondly first union was merged into Wachovia a few years ago. I made her cancell the check and I wrote a letter to Honda telling them I refused to deal with the CA, sent them a copy of the check and told them I felt that this CA was attempting fraud and ethically my daughters bank could not allow that check to go through.

This all happend on 10/20-06 and by the end of the week Honda deleted their account from my credit reports.

Glad I ran across this information. I too have been asked for collection of $900 (via snail mail) for a phone account not opened or used by me. Was just sending a letter back to MNK requesting an investigation and validation of the account. Will definately send it certified. Has anyone else gotten resolve from some of the posts back in the summer?
Any suggestions, would be appreciated.
