They claimed they were with a law office And that we owe taxes to Kansas and that our letters though we didn't receive them they confirmed our address and ask us to pay the delinquent balance Otherwise we would be in legal trouble. I explained I worry about scams and I wasn't sure about paying since I needed to verify woman said go ahead verify With KS and you will still contact me to pay me . It was all very strange as this woman claims she sent letters regarding a collection of our taxes if so why is this agency in Chicago Illinois when the taxes are from Kansas if that is even true ?
we have been receiving the same calls, i had my husband call the secretary of state, police agency who issued ticket, and the dmv...they have all said that the ticket was satisfied due to my husband going to driving school. so, cook county needs to look at how they keep their records, this ticket was issued in 1998. my husband has had 3 drivers lic. since then, in 2 different states because we have moved...dont you think if this was still an issue one of the bmv's would have caught it, yes, they would have. this lawyers office was contracted by many counties in illinois to collect debts. i have now filed a police report for harassment and deceptive practice on this law firm. we have gone above and beyond to prove he had taken care of this way back in 98' but a clear driving record and the information from the secretary of the state is not good enough for this office. the law office said they will only accept a reciept of payment for the class. who in this world keeps payment reciepts from 11 years ago? they are just hoping some poor soul will be so scared from their tactics that they will give in and pay, not me, i will fight back...........

there was a message on our answering machine from this number so i looked it up through google and it is a law firm that deals in debt collections.
The problem is the person they were trying to reach does not live here.
To Bad, So Sad!
i have received a call from this number too. over the weekend i have been wondering why some law offices was calling me. it put my stress level higher and at the same time i'm sick. i made a payment plan for the ticket i got from chicago, but the thing is i was not the driver. I don't know why these people are calling me if i am on a payment plan. thanks for this site, i now know not to answer these abusive debt collectors.
