Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Wisconsin
I have a question regarding a credit/billing collection agency harassing me.

And your question is what? Generally speaking, one should never attempt to deal with a collector or collectino lawsuit without consulting with an attorney; preferably one who emphasizes bankruptcy work in his law practice. Regardless of whether you have a legal defense to the collection or not, one can often discharge tens of thousands in unsecured debts such as credit cards, medical bills, uninsured car accident claims or loans, for legal fees of not much more than $1000. A discharge in bankruptcy amounts to legal forgiveness of the debt and provides a permanent injunction which prohibits the creditor from making any future attempt to collect it. My comments in the online web forum and intended for public education only and are not legal advice for you. You should therefore contact you own attorney before acting upon any suggestions made here. You are also welcome to contact my Racine office to set up a free initial consultation with me about my possibly accepting your case.
