Re: magazine charges
You can stop the collector from calling you by sending a letter advising that you do not admit that you owe the money, you do not have the money to pay the debt, and that they have engaged in illegal collection practices. Further inform them that "per 15 USC 1692c" you are notifying them to cease further communication with you or anyone else in connection with you; and that further contact may provide cause for a lawsuit with penalties and fees under the Federal and Michigan Fair Debt Collection Practices Acts.
(Please do not rely on this communication which does not create an attorney-client relationship and which is intended merely as a discussion of legal principles and is not to be relied upon.)
Sincerely,
