Im also appalled by the methods of skip tracing used to contact me by 1st Franklin Financial. This is a violation of the FDCPA section ( s ) 805 Communication in Connection with of Debt, 806 Harassment and Abuse. I have sent 1st Franklin Financial 2 separate Cease and Desist letters dating from XX/XX/XXXX- XX/XX/XXXX and both times this company has violated my rights as a consumer. I have not authorized 1st Franklin Financial access to my credit reports, the status of my current mailing address, the status of my drivers license and other methods that would be used to contact and used to harass me. As ofXX/XX/XXXX in the XXXX County Court system your civil case XXXX was dismissed, yet your company still persist in contacting and harassing me! Moving forward should there be any such a need to contact me you will now have to contact my attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX. The info to my attorney is provided up above. I am demanding that your company investigate this account and also cease and desist all communication attempts!

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
