Somehow large companies like our government feel they are above and immune to the law.
My name is Karen Burns and my ordeal with Bell South started in 2001 with a dispute regarding a bill. Although I informed them that I would not be paying the bill under the advice of my attorney, having no "legal" grounds to sue me, they resorted to actions that have gone beyond illegal.
I have basically endured what amounts to an all out "corporate stalking."
Several attempts to begin home-based businesses were ruined when they began contacting clients and vendors stating falsely that they were law enforcement officers and that I was under criminal investigation.
Over the years several companies that I have accounts with have received "fake" subpoenas telling them that they were "required" to turn over information about my accounts, from banking to my DNS records from my Internet service providers, the latest of which has been Comcast. Somehow the idiots that work at these companies can't distinguish a real court order from a fake one.
I had no idea how pervasive the fake subpoena issue was until an acquaintance informed me that an attorney tried to pass one off on them but was thwarted in his actions when the document was taken to another attorney who immediately spotted that it was fraudulent.
What is amazing to me is that Bell South has to have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars. More importantly, their thousands were not spent attempting to collect a debt that totaled a few hundred dollars. Their money was used to inflict terroristic threats and bodily and financial harm. Inflating the front tires on someone's car with air cans to 70 lbs. of pressure sounds like attempted murder to me.
Having someone followed to the grocery store where they proceed to uncap the plug from the radiator on your car while you are shopping, spilling all of the antifreeze onto the ground, doesn't sound much like "debt collecting" to me unless you are "mafioso."
Imagine having your neighbors poisoned against you and convinced to "assist" in stalking and surveilling you or having your landlord permit them to illegally enter your home. They literally know when I come and where I go. Unfortunately for some of these unsuspecting "assistants," stalking-by-proxy carries a criminal penalty and is just as illegal as if they were the original perpetrators.
Fortunately, with every new conspirator they attempt to recruit, the deeper the legal tomb they are digging for themselves as many of those people and companies have started to "regain consciousness" and come forward to offer information and assistance.
With affidavits from participants/witnesses, photographs of stalkers, and their license plate numbers, we will be bringing an end to all of this very soon. Installing cameras and counter-surveillance measures can be expensive but if you want your life back, you have to do what it takes to make that happen.
Having followed me everywhere for the purpose of "debt collecting," in the entire 5 years, they have yet to serve me with a lawsuit or civil process of any kind. Yet the stalking and terrorism continues.
From time to time they have employed on and off duty police officers. The Chattanooga Police Department and Hamilton County Sheriffs Office of Tennessee are the latest of their rent-a-cops. As if Tennessee law enforcement and especially the Chattanooga Police Department can handle any more scandals for criminal wrong doing.
But Bell South is big in Chattanooga and their money is very green. They have monuments in their name plastered all over the city. Who would ever tell them "no," even if it is breaking the law?
What the Bell South corporate mafia has done to me in the last 5 years is beyond illegal, it's criminal!
