I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because: First of all, I do not have a contract with this company. Second, I do not owe any debts to anyone. Third I have no knowledge of any of the mentioned debts or charges. I have not been notified that an attorney has confirmed or denied if any information is correct or not. I am not liable for this debt and it's illegal to keep harassing me about any debts and threatening with lawsuits.
Sincerely,
