Got the Getty Letter

[Robert Krausankas (BuddhaPi)]

It should be held in your District Court.

In a worst-case scenario and getty does take me to court, where would that take place?
would I be required to travel to their home state, or would it take place in mine?

Can anyone provide any potential details on this?

Which adds to the amount they would need to spend, and possibly not recoup if they were to loose...thus making the chances of them picking you out of hundreds or maybe even thousands of other recipients even lower.

I sent my reply to them via cert. snail mail.  I'll let you know what happens.

Thanks!

Despite my sending them a certified letter they responded to me today with an email.  Form letter blah blah blah; they don't consider the matter closed even tho I provided documentation that shows I paid for the template (that included said image) a few years back.  They claim it's not enough proof and I still need to pay them.
I sent a 1 line reply stating I provided proof and I consider the matter closed.

I'm sure they will reply again.  I'll simply reply with the exact same reply I just did, and I'll reply each and every time with the exact same thing.

as good a plan as any..remember it's not up to you to prove anything, it's on those ass wipes at Getty to prove you did not purchase it, they pulled the same shit with me.

On the next letter received from them I would file complaints with the Washington State Attorney General, the Washington State BBB, the Federal Trade Commission, Your Congressman and Senator and if you hear anything from Mr. McCormack the same for him as well as the Washington, Oregon and Idaho State Bar Associations.

I love how even when proof is provided it is never quite enough or good enough.  I think this is Getty's motto when it comes to the pursuit of their "Business Model"

That is such a good fit Greg.

I would cease all communication with them if they do not directly address your last latter or come back with their boilerplate response. But you  are likely heading into Tim McCormack territory soon.

Today I got.. well.. a reply on my blog from NCS.
Now.. I've got by blog set up in such a way that new posts are not published until I approve them.
Strange thing is, it's a different case number than what getty provided.

No, it will never grace the pages of my blog, their reply.

However, what is to stop them from posting on my google+ page or on my myspace page?

NCS actually left a comment on your blog? You must be kidding! I would be contactng them directly and speaking to a "supervisor"...whomever left a comment should be out of a job.

it has IP address, email info, all kinds of "fun" information.

all the more reason to share it publicly..we all like to have fun!

Did you send them a letter letting them know this is a claim and not a debt?  IF not do so right away and let them know any further contact will result in a complaint to the FTC and AG's offices.  If you have sent them the letter I would be filing complaints on them by the end of the day.

GotLetter, please follow Greg's advice. And after you notify NCS that this is a claim, if they contact you in ANY WAY, it would be time to "make it rain." And by that I mean a downpour of letters to your DA, AG, Senators, Rep., anybody that might have an interest in crooked collections schemes.
