Hi, my name is Maria and I’m interested looking for a legal representation. Im a breast cancer survivor and due to my illness I stopped working. That means a lot finance issues and credit card debts. Now there is one particular collector that keeps calling me and harassing me. I also received a pre-legal letter stating if I don’t pay they will sue me. Even though I have called and explained my situation. Now this is another stress to my health and I really don’t need this right now.
