Professional Recomendations

[foxgrrl]

1. Can anyone recommend a good dentist in the bay area? I think I may have cracked a tooth during one of my [laser] electrolysis sessions. (The anesthetic wasn't working, and I clenched my teeth trying not to scream.)
2. Can anyone recommend a good lawyer in the bay area? I just got a letter saying that I owe someone a lot of money. Except it doesn't have my correct name on it (completely wrong first and middle names, only last name the same), but it does have my correct SSN. I don't know if this is really my debt, or a mistake.

You probably don't need a lawyer for the debt issue yet. Start out by sending them a validation demand letter. See http://www.creditinfocenter.com/forms/sampleletter9.shtml for an example. Then carefully document all contact you have with them. Debt collection agencies violate the law as part of normal business operations and you can extract up to $1000 per violation from them if you catch them at it and have documentation. Read up on the FCRA and FDCPA laws. I've had some experience dealing with one of these outfits... If you wanna ask me about it hit me up on AIM sometime.
