you get a DV(debt validation)letter to this so-called law firm asap.send it certified mail return receipt.bottomline they are trying to rush you into a payment when there are a couple of things in question.
1)LVNV is a JDB on some debts.this is one of them.
2)the letter i'm guessing had no verbiage stating that the dedt will be considered paid and will not be sold,or assigned.get that in writing before paying a thing.
so do not pay this.send brachfield the DV see SOAPLADY'S signature for the template,and send it certified mail.bottomline they are trying to rush you to pay,but they do have a habit of passing the rest of the debt on,and you don't want/need that.
