It is my understanding that the company has actually sold the fraudulent $3,500 debt to a debt collector. The woman in this case has an excellent defamation case against the companies and a claim for treble damages (I believe) and attorney fees under FDCPA. She should contact an attorney and file a claim against this company. Between that damages and attorney fees, they may be looking at a $50-80k bill at the end of this all, plus the bad publicity. And I hope they are made to pay, because this is outrageous.
