Consumer Complaint: This company is sending out mass mailers telling people/implying they will be arrested if they do not pay. Aside from the fact that the debt isn’t even valid, I’m shocked at being threatened with arrest unless I pay out. This company sends out so many of these mailers that I have another one for an entirely unrelated person that was also mailed to my house!
