Collections Law/Oklahoma State Taxes

Expert: - 10/15/2011


Question
Received letter from agency claiming I owe Oklahoma income tax. No previous notification from state or other agency. Have not lived there in 28 years. They are threatening legal action. I have no records that far back, how do I combat this? They appear to be legitimate law firm.

Answer
First, sent them a letter asking for an itemized statement of this account.  Without this there is not much you can do to dispute this debt.  If you find it is yours, offer them a settlement less than the amount owed.  If you do not, dispute the debt.  Good luck with this.

Expertise

I am qualified to answer questions on the following subjects: FDCPA, FCRA and HIPAA as well as medical collections, general collections and collection agency related issues. I trained these subjects at a nationwide collection agency and customer service call center and audited around 150 representatives for compliance to the laws. I have been in the Collections Industry for over 30 years. I feel that everyone deserves to be treated fairly and with compassion and that is the way I trained collectors. Even though I worked for a Collection Agency, I get great satisfaction in helping those who have been mistreated or in need of help with these confusing issues.

Experience

I was the Compliance Administrator with a nationwide collection agency and customer service call center-I have trained hundreds of collectors on the above referenced topics. I have been in the medical collections industry for over twenty years and research these topics on a daily basis.
