At all pertinent times hereto, the defendants were attempting to collect a debt relating to a consumer transaction. (Hereinafter the "alleged debt.") II. Defendants communicated with plaintiff on or after one year before the date of this action, in connection with collection efforts, by letters, telephone contact or other documents, with regard to plaintiff's alleged debt. 12. On or about October 2005, Plaintiffs cell phone was stolen. 13. Plaintiff immediately reported the loss to Nextel. 14. Nextel advised Plaintiff to go to Fast Page Radio Inc., to obtain another phone. 15. On or about November 9,2005, Plaintiff went to Fast Page Radio, Inc., to purchase a used cell phone, at the direction of Nextel. 16. The saleswoman at Fast Page Radio, Inc., sold Plaintiff a phone for $120.00, which after the sale, could not be programed. 17. Since the used phone that Plaintiff purchased could not be programmed, the saleswoman, "Tamika" told Plaintiff to get another phone. 18. As such, the saleswoman at Fast Page Radio, Inc., explained to Plaintiff that she could "swap" the phone for another, and said Plaintiff would be charged $35.00 for the swap. 19. Plaintiff had no other phone to "swap" because her original phone was stolen. 20. On the November 2005, cell phone bill, Plaintiff was charged for the $35.00 to swap the phones, as well as $263.36 for the phone. 21. Plaintiff paid cash for the phone to Fast Page Radio, Inc. 22. Plaintiff contacted Nextel, explaining that she paid cash at Fast Page for the phone and Nextel credited Plaintiff's account. 23. Two months later, Nextel billed Plaintiff for the used cell phone a second time. 24. Plaintiff again contacted Nextel and the agent quickly agreed to credit Plaintiff, only to re-bill the item the following month. 25. In March of 2006, Plaintiff's Nextel contract expired, as such, Plaintiff obtained a new cell phone carrier. 26. Since that time, agents identifying themselves as being from Nextel Partners, have been harassing Plaintiff at her place of employment. 27. Plaintiff repeatedly informed agents of Nextel Partners that she could not receive calls at work. 28. On or about May 24, 2006, a collector, identifying herself as being from Nextel Partners, contacted Plaintiff at her place of employment and plaintiff immediately told her that calls at work were prohibited. 29. Plaintiff then explained that she was waiting for her credit because she already paid for the telephone and would not pay for the phone twice. 30. The female agent on May 24,2006, told Plaintiff that she was stupid and should just pay for the cell phone. 31. Plaintiff told the Nextel agent that she was not going to pay for the used cell phone twice and the female agent hung up on Plaintiff. 32. On or about June 28, 2006, Nextel Partners, contacted Plaintiffs place of employment and spoke to her supervisor. 33. The supervisor advised Nextel Partners that Plaintiff could not receive calls at work. 34. On or about June 29, 2006, Nextel Partners, Plaintiffs supervisor advised her to get the calls stopped or Plaintiff would lose her job. 35. On or about June 29, 2006, Nextel Partners called Plaintiff at her place of employment, despite being told numerous times by both Plaintiff and her supervisor, not to contact Plaintiff at work. 36. Plaintiff asked for the name and the Nextel Partners agent identified himself at Mitch. 37. Plaintiff told him that he was not permitted to contact her at work and he laughed at her and told her that he could call her whenever and where-ever he wanted. 38. Plaintiff then told Mitch, the Nextel Agent, her situation and explained that she was not going to pay for the used phone twice. 39. Mitch then told Plaintiff that if she agreed to renew her contract that she would only owe $102.00. 40. Plaintiff said that she was not going to pay for the used phone twice and she was not going to renew her contract. 41. Mitch told Plaintiff the only way she could get the credit was for her to renew her contract. 42. Agents of Nextel Partners and Bureau of Recovery for Nextel, made numerous calls to Plaintiff and her employer, which are communications relating to a "debt" as defined by both state and federal law. 15 U.S.C. lI692a(2) and 1692a(5). 43. Agents ofNextel made telephone calls to Plaintiff, which contained false, misleading, confusing and harassing statements, and were rude, belligerent and insulting to Plaintiff and her employer. 44. Agents ofNextel discussed the alleged debt with third parties, which violated the Plaintiff's right to privacy. 45. Agents ofNextel contacted Plaintiff place of employment during evening hours, despite being told by Plaintiff's supervisor that Plaintiff left work at 5:00 p.m. 46. Agents of both defendants acted in concert to confuse, deceive, coerce and in general, create a false sense of urgency in an attempt to contact Plaintiff. 47. Agents of both defendants acted in concert and discussed the alleged debt with a third party. 48. Plaintiff could not distinguish between the debt collector from Bureau of Recovery and Nextel Partners. 49. All debt collectors identified themselves as being from "Nextel Partners." 50. Plaintiff did not learn that Bureau of Recovery was a separate company until she was so informed by her attorney. 51. At no time was Plaintiff given 30 days to dispute the alleged debt because she was contacted at her place of employment and never received the validation notice. 52. Plaintiff believes and therefore avers that defendants, acting in concert, intentionally, maliciously, and willfully, confused Plaintiff into believing that she owed and was responsible to pay a disputed debt. 53. Plaintiff believes and therefore avers that the defendants, acting alone and in concert, failed to afford Plaintiff the opportunity to dispute the alleged debt, interest charges, late fees and/or other amounts added to his alleged account. 54. Defendants, acting alone and in concert, demanded the balance in full, never affording the Plaintiff an opportunity to set up partial payments. 55. Plaintiff believes and therefore avers that the alleged debt was sold to a third party, in violation of Pennsylvania law. 56. Plaintiff believes and therefore avers that transfer of the alleged debt, created a benefit to the defendants involved in the transfer, and any attempt to collect the alleged amount is deceptive, misleading and/or fraudulent. 57. Each defendant, acted alone and in concert, made threats of litigation against Plaintiff. 58. Defendants are liable for each other actions under principal/agent theories as well as the FDCP A. 59. Defendant Nextel selected, directed and controlled its agents' collection practices. COUNT I - PENNSYL VANIA FAIR CREDIT EXTENSION UNIFORMITY ACT 73 P.S. ~2270 et seq.

COUNT VI - CLASS ACTION (AGAINST NEXTEL PARTNERS INC, AND BUREAU OF RECOVERY LLc') 104. Plaintiff hereby incorporates the forgoing as if fully set forth herein. 105. Plaintiff hereby incorporates the foregoing as iffully set forth herein. 106. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure, 23, permits a class action if certain criteria are met. 107. The FDCPA permits class action, 15 U.S.c. sI692k(a)(2)(B). 108. In this case, defendant contacted Plaintiffs employer and repeatedly harassed Plaintiff at her place of employment. 109. Plaintiff has reason to believe that it is a common business practice of Nextel and its agents to contact individual consumers at his or her place of employment. 110. Plaintiff believe and therefore avers that both defendants routinely harass individuals at his or her place of employment. Ill. Plaintiff believes and therefore avers that Nextel routinely hires Bureau of Recovery in an attempt to harass, intimidate and confuse consumer debtors regarding their alleged debt. 112. This practice never affords the consumer debtor an opportunity to dispute the alleged debt. 113. This practice confuses, deceives and misleads the consumer as to who is actually collecting the alleged debt. 114. This action seeks a declaration that the common and routine business practice of Nextel and Bureau of Recovery to contact consumer debtors at their place of employment, in a harassing, misleading, and deceptive manner, violated both state and federal law. 115. This action seeks a declaration that defendant's common and routine business practice of hiring a debt collector to misrepresent that the collection agency is the original creditor is misleading, confusing and/or deceptive to the least sophisticated consumer and therefore, violated the FDCP A. 116. This action seeks a declaration that defendant's collection practices violated the state law and the FDCP A. 117. The Class consists of all persons in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania who received telephone calls at his or her place of employment. 118. Plaintiffs claims are typical of the claims of the Class. 119. It is unknown how many contacts were made by Nextel and Bureau of Recovery, as such, Plaintiff believes and therefore avers that the number exceeds 100 persons. 120. Common relief is therefore sought on behalf of all members of the Class. 121. This Class Action is superior to other available methods for the fair and efficient adjudication of this controversy. 122. The prosecution of separate action by individual members of the class would create a risk of inconsistent or varying adjudications with respect to the individual members of the Class, and a risk that any adjudications with respect to the interests of the other members of the Class would, as a practical matter, either be dispositive of the interests of other members of the Class not party to the adjudication or substantially impair or impede their ability to protect their interests. Defendants acted in a manner applicable to the Class as a whole that warrants declaratory relief. 123. The Plaintiff will fairly and adequate protect and represent the interests of the Class. The management of the Class action proposed is not extraordinarily difficult and the factual and legal issues raised will not require extended contact with the members of the Class because defendant's conduct was perpetrated on all members of the Class and will be established by common proof. Plaintiff's counsel, attorneys Saracco and Rosen, participated as attorneys in class actions brought pursuant to the FDCP A. 124. Given the nature of defendants' practices, it is likely that other consumers in Pennsylvania have been harmed by these practices. 125. The law firm of Krevsky & Rosen. located at 1101 North Front Street, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, have agreed to enter its appearance as co-counsel to ensure that Plaintiffs counsel will have adequate resources to represent the class. 126. This action could be handled as a no-notice class, and is superior to the alternative, hundreds of Pennsylvania residents filing separate FDCP A actions. 127. Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court consider the frequency and persistence of defendants' non-compliance, the nature of defendants' non-compliance, and the obvious intentional nature of the defendants by failing to verify whether the collection amount is valid, as required by Pennsylvania law, failure to secure the proper authorizations as required by Pennsylvania law and in general, attempting to deceive Pennsylvania consumers. 128. Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court certify the class and award such amount for each named Plaintiff, $1,000.00, plus such amount as this Honorable Court may allow for all other class members, without regard to a minimum of $500,000.00 or one percent of the net wroth of the debt collector, and attorney fees of$350.00 per hour, and costs as reasonably determined by this Honorable Court. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court a. Certify the class, b. Appoint Plaintiff to represent the members of the class, c. Appoint Deanna Lynn Saracco and the law firm of Krevsky & Rosen as counsel for the class, d. Declare that defendants' practices of adding unlawful collection fees violated Pennsylvania law and the FDCP A. e. Enter judgement in favor of Plaintiff and the Class and against Defendants, for statutory damages, costs and reasonable attorney fees in the amount of $350.00 per hour, f. Grant such further relief as this Honorable Court deems just and proper.
