Being that neither collection agency would address the facts of the situation and that they refused to stop harassing our company, we sent a letter to - - in the hope that they would instruct the debt collectors to cease contact. We have yet to receive a response from - -, and the contact has continued. Our company has continually been harassed by these collection agencies despite having no factual basis to do so.

We have no other option but to solicit your help in resolving this matter and ensuring that these business practices do not continue in the future.
