LadynRed points out a factor necessary to understand your enemy. You get a letter from a 'law office'. You are understandably unsettled, unsure. Bear in mind the enemy is a criminal cartel whose racket is extortion. Their method: fool you into thinking you have no rights or protections under the law, next: convince you that hope rests in them, their weapon is threat of court action.
Criminals are inadequate. They try harder. They protest too much when they should keep quiet, as when they tell a cop who just stopped them "Officer I don't know anything about that missing girl."Cop replies: "I just stopped you to advise you one of your license plate lights was out. What was that you were saying about a girl...?"
Criminals blame their mark just a bit too much. "Of course I shot him, your honor, after all he was lookin' at me." Point being they will overstate, protest a bit too much, in other words try to bury you with bullshale in hope of gaining a willing victim.
How can some unwashed nitwit grease-wig jerkxxx collector best intimidate his target? The 'authoritative approach". Just as a rapist gains control of his intended victim by dressing like a detective, pulling his Crown Victoria behind a lone female driver and turning on his blue flashing light that he found at the uniform shop, so the 'collections professional' prints some slop on the mimeograph machine, creating 'writs','summonses','liens' and the like.
Your documents might be genuine, maybe not, dig deeper. Criminals always make mistakes, you will catch them. Report them, cost them time, money, make them feel the pain of governmental intrusion into their otherwise comfy little hole of self-abasement. Bear in mind many lawyers think as do criminals, it's why they understand and defend their clients. What they can't understand is your righteous anger, when aimed in their direction they fear it.

Righteously,
