Mr. Katz, or should I say Mr. Tax,

Are you really that bored with your life that you have to run a school for consumers to find out ways of getting out of paying their debts. Are you really that low? Why would you post a picture of yourself with a picture of your measly $1000.00 that you were awarded for a violation of the fcpa. What ever happened to paying for you debts that you actually owe? How would you feel if someone owed you money, and they found out ways of getting out of paying you, and forcing you to pay them. You my friend are just one of the many reasons why our country is going down the drain. You are scum of the earth. You searously a sorry excuse for a human being. The fdcpa are a set of laws that are over 40 years old, that have many loop holes that allow scum bag attorneys, and losers like yourself to take advantage of bogus laws. Why don't you actually find a real job, instead of teaching people to get out paying their debts. I fully believe in Karma, and I know that your time will come where this will bite you in the ass. You are truely a loser, with no life. I really hope you get what you deserve.

The collector

This is taken exactly as it is.

3. that was my thought

They must be good if they brought a debt collector to the point of writing a letter that essentially cries and whines about how the debtor is treating the collector!

9. the class is free. . .just log into the website and study the Flyingifr method

School is always in session. . .when those bastards violate the law, their tuition payment is aa NDA and $1,000 damages. . .payable at the window.

Then laugh all the way to the bank. their stupid shit bought my father's airplane.

4. I've never been hounded by debt collecters

But I am under the impression they are as hateful, entitled and rude as the one in that email. And that they prey on people in their weakest moments.

Seeing how most debt is due to medical illness, job loss and family breakups (rather than lavish lifestyles), that is plain wrong.

5. Your impression is accurate...as I have been a target of theirs for

about a year now

6. wwww.debtorboards.com

Please look into my father's website. If those bastards violate the law, know your rights.

BTW, my father's website is as militant on that topic as we are about politics.

7. "Account Suspended"

It can't be because of industry pressure ... right?

8. Good for him

I work with low-income people. My first case ever was a 19 year old single mother who was being called a whore my the debt collector. 20 years later I ran into her in a store (she recognized my name on the check I was writing) and told me how my helping her fight back made her feel like a human being.
