a.m. Odell represents himself as PayNow Collection Agency and demands payment "or else." The next day, Odell sends Milo notice that he has thirty days in which to request verification of the debt and that its payment will be suspended during that time, but that if he does not pay the full amount due within five business days, Odell will arrange for the "destruction of Milo's good credit rating."
