The Cellar - View Single Post - Oops..Collection Firm Gets Hammered for Dragging Wrong Man to Court

I got sued when I wrote a check that bounced for a pizza (its a long story). Anyway, the pizza company turned it over to a collection agency which morphed the original $18.00 into something like $100.00 with fines, fees, and assesments. The collection agency dragged a bunch of people including myself. When my turn came to go before the judge, he looked at the collection agent with real disgust, and threw out his case against me as frivilous. I'm sure he billed the pizza company some extorbitant amount for his time in court.
