Narrative (may be redacted).

This week I received a notice from Law Offices of Patenaude & Felix, A.P.C. in an attempt to collect a debt that was settled in a short sale of a property in XX/XX/XXXX. This is the second such collection attempt from another deb collection firm, clearly the debt was resold to another firm. The XXXX firm, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX attempted to collect the debt in XX/XX/XXXX. I retained a local attorney ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) to contact the debt collection firm and force them to cease their attempts. My attorney cited the fact that their attempts appeared to violate the Fair Debt Collection Act and demanded that they produce " copies of all correspondence and any settlement agreements '' relative to this debt. No response was ever received and nothing was ever produced. XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX immediately ceased attempting to collect the debt and no further contact was received. Now two years later another debt collection firm, Patenaude & Felix, A.P.C. is again attempting to collect a debt that was settled in a short sale and I know longer owe. For nearly 4 years now, this debt continues to tarnish my otherwise good credit rating and I feel helpless to remedy the situation.
