Dear Sh*t Face: You owe us money!

Talk about an unpleasant surprise. A man has received a threatening legal letter from Nationwide Collections Inc. addressed to Sh*t Face.
Under U.S. law, debt collectors are not allowed to use profanity to collect a debt, nor are they supposed to threaten legal action over such a small amount. The amount in question is a measly $16.
The man plans to sue Nationwide Collections Inc. next week.

Yeah it's kind of sketchy, but people have been sued for less. One interesting comment on DIGG was that it is illegal to open mail that is not addressed to you. So unless his name was Sh*t Face he might not have much legal grounding.
