Collection attorney Kaplan request for consent to verify employment?????
I’ve NEVER seen anything like this.
Collection law firm Kaplan sent the following on 7/14/08:
Please sign and return the consent below to our office so that we may further process the above entitled matter.
JEROLD KAPLAN LAW OFFICE, PC
CONSENT:
I CHRISTINE BAKER hereby give my consent to my employer to verify my employment information as requested by Jerold Kaplan Law Office, PC.
Signature — Date
[mini miranda]
Huh?
Are they trying to verify employment to see whether they can garnish wages if they get a judgment?
I’m HOPING they’ll sue me, but also on 7/14/08, they sent a letter stating that no attorney has reviewed my file. However, the request for consent is signed by “Attorney for Creditor” and the signature is unreadable.
BTW, I have already disputed with Kaplan on the phone and in writing and I provided the link to my Open Letter to Target and they keep collecting. Kaplan is the firm that dismissed the suit against Kok for an old Palisades debt as I recently posted.
I hope that nobody gives consent to verify employment, but then again, many people are so afraid of lawyers, they might actually sign it. I consider it a combination of harassment and intimidation tactics.
And I’m thoroughly confused.
Did an attorney review my file or not?
