RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 07/27/18> Courtesy letter … Since when is threatening someone considered a courtesy?
There are so many questions about this one. Is he, in fact, a lawyer would be my first question. I agree that you need to put the onus on him to prove that the money is owed. Here many bad lawyers buy up lists and try to collect funds under the guise of being legitimately owed. Why is this coming up now, more than a year after the fact? If someone owed me money, I would be asking for the money long before a year is up. And if it is a legitimate company why haven't they sent an invoice? Little red flags and alarm bells are going off on this one.
Yes, this seems a little "fishy" or "phishy" perhaps, it will be up to the lawyer now to produce the documentation to our satisfaction. My wife opens every piece of mail and my son doesn't get much mail to begin with, so when something came for him after his injury she made sure he opened it and read it, we would have known if this had been presented to him to pay previously.
It would seem reasonable to think, if this were a legitimate request for payment, they'd have sent several bills (about 30 days apart) before turning it over to a lawyer. As you say, this feels awfully fishy.
Well if they are fishing they may not like the fish they caught this time,
