I received a collection notice from Riverview Law Office stating that I was overpaid by my former employer ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) by {$13000.00}. I am unsure if this is a lawyer representing XXXX or if they are a collection agency that XXXX sold this misinformation to. 

Reading their letters, it seems they are being intentional about trying to blur if they are a lawyer representing XXXX or a collection agency. 

To gain clarity on who and what I was dealing with, I sent them a certified letter disputing the alleged debt, asking for proof of this alleged debt, and verify that they were licensed to collect debt since I could n't find them online. 

I attached the letter but here is what I asked for- -Provide me with copies of any papers that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe ; -Provide a copy of judgment stating I am responsible for this amount ; -Show me that you are licensed to collect in my state ; and -Provide me with your license numbers and Registered Agent. 

Riverview Law Office sent a letter the next day with an Excel spreadsheet I could barly read that only listed XXXX claiming overpayment of {$13000.00} and no actual information on how the amount was calculated or what pay periods were that I was overpaid. Riverview Law Office, PLLC did not include any information on them being licensed to collect in MN and no license number. 

Both letters they have sent warn me to get an attorney. 

There is no documentation or order stating I do owe XXXX {$13000.00}. 

They also did not provide the requested license information so for all I know, they are not collecting for fairview and this is all a sham.
