hello there - 1 Mar 2008
ATTENTION!!!!!
the main culprit is allied publishers service of midatlantic states, 625 Delaware Ave Suite 100 in Buffalo, NY. 716 services, miller marketing, and many other companies (along with phony lawyers such as allan p maccarty who simply lets the co. use his name on letterhead) are all avtually working for allied publishers. please do not take any threat of lawsuits to heart as they are all phony. i worked there for many years. tehy do not report to credit bureaus. they do not (im stifiling laughter here)take anyone to court. they rake in the dough from allof the foolish peole who believe these empty threats.
PLEASE visit your atty general's website, print a complaint form and send it in. your file will be marked "atty general" and you will not be called. i worked for them for many years when i was a teenager. they are convincing sometimes, other times not so much. the bottom line is your "debt" isn't real. noone was ever taken to court. there are no collection agencys. there are a gazillion phone lines that are listed under a whole bunch of phony names. the "atty's office" sat across from me when i was there. what happens is a telemarketing office sells you the subscription, allied buys the order for about $300, and if you are dumb and pay the $780 there's a nice profit margin there. please just FILE A COMPLAINT and i assure you there will be no calls!!! DO NOT get sucked in to these ludacris lies about garnishing wages and negative marks on your credit report. all lies. i promise!!!!
So, going on this I am breathing a little easier.
Is this the drop Dead letter you refer too?

To Whom It May Concern:
I have been contacted by your company about a debt you allege I owe. I am instructing you not to contact me further in connection with this debt. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, a federal law, you may not contact me further once I have notified you not to do so.
Sincerely,
