CDL & Associates

An individual from this company, came to my residence in a very aggressive manner demanding money. The man also called my phone and members of my family about a debt. He threatened me with jail, and continued further harrassment.

I have been contacted by ***. The first contact was by phone. He shared that he was trying to reach my ex husband ***, regarding a counterfeit check. He claimed to be doing this on behalf of ***. He wanted me to give him information to reach him. I explained that my ex husband and I are estranged and that I do not have a contact number for him. He continued to press me for information about his family members, etc... again I explained that I did not have any information to share. A few days later, my daughter, ***, received mail from this gentleman and his company. The letter stated a demand for payment from my daughter, there was a copy of the referenced check and a picture of my ex husband, while cashing the check at a placed called ***. The amount owed shows $289.49. I called the number on the letter in an effort to get the matter resolved. I was curious as to how my daughter's name ever made it onto the letter. When I spoke with him, I asked him what evidence he had that my daughter had been involved, he did not have any. In our conversation, it seemed that he was trying to use the leverage of keeping my daughter's name associated with this situation to bully me into locating my ex husband and making him call so they can resolve the debt. I am not sure why he thinks a man who makes no effort to see, care for or provide for his children, would listen to anything I have to say. I explained that I divorced my ex husband for reasons related to substance abuse, physical and verbal abuse. I explained that I was not comfortable assisting in trying to locate him as I fear retaliation. He then spoke of taking the matter up with the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney's Office saying that he finds it hard to believe that what I am saying is true. I have worked very hard to rebuild a life for my children and I. *** is a recent graduate of *** and just getting started with her life. While attending ***, she was inducted into a number of honor societies because of her grades. I would appreciate any assistance or guidance in helping *** understand the potential damage he is doing to my daughter's future by using this tactic to track down her father. I am concerned that this will impact possible employment opportunities and my daughter's plans to continue her education. *** was unmoved and unconcerned. He seemed to only be worried about collecting the money his client is owed. I tried to reason with him with no success. In closing, I am currently serving a three-year term as a Director on the *** I am a public servant and would appreciate any assistance your office can provide. Thank you.
