    Collection Agencies

    They might be "doing business as" the other name. Also there is no law that says they cannot call your place of employment, only that if you tell them you cannot receive calls from them there, then they have to stop.

    My handymen damaged my new Sony 3D TV while installing it

    As stated wait until after he files, then sue him. That is unless he does go ahead and start paying you. Don't do a written agreement for payment because then he can screw you out of it by listing you as a creditor and it's possible that is what he hoping to do. Just tell him you will give...

    I would call your bank. You don't have the same protection with a debit card as you do with a credit card, but it couldn't hurt to check anyway. Other than that your not going to be able to take legal action against them and come out ahead. You would have to file this in small claims court...
