http://www.fair-debt-collection.com/searches/stop-collection-calls.html It is truly disappointing to read of the huge volume of consumer complaints of dissatisfaction and abuse regarding AT&T YellowPages.com. (search yellowpages.com complaints) Enclosed is an extremely helpful link that may stop AT&T YellowPages.com bill collection / phone calls dead in their tracks. According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, [15 USC 1692c] Section 805(c): CEASING COMMUNICATION: allow for protection against harassing phone calls from debt collection companies including AT&T YellowPages.com. In order to stop collection calls you must send a certified signature "Stop Calling Letter" to the collector. ( see below) After sending the Stop Calling Letter, if the collection phone calls do not stop, the debt collector may just be liable to you for statutory damages of up to $1,000, plus any actual damages suffered, plus attorney fees and court costs! You will want to file a Conciliation (Small Claims Court) action documenting the continuing phone calls from the collection company. Be certain to tape record the calls along with time and date to provide as evidence. The telephone company may be able to provide phone records. Also your cell phone records can also provide documentation of the harassing phone calls. Conciliation / Small Claims Court is a very simple process (did I say simple!) with a filing fee of approximately $50.00. If the defendant (AT&T YellowPages.com) does not show up to defend themselves, you may just end up winning a default judgment against them. Conciliation / Small Claims Court can award damages up to $7500 depending upon limitations in your state. Alternatively, a junior attorney in a larger legal practice may be willing to take your case for a split of the damages awarded by the court.
