I'll try to make this short and hopefully make my point. If it's not clear, I will do my best to elaborate.

I was/am involved in a deal to purchase some stamps for sale on the Internet. The stamps arrived on my doorstep on Oct 11, 2000, with a promise of payment in four equal installments, first one due Nov. 11.

Things didn't work out as I had hoped and by December 11th, his attorney was contacting me for the return of the stamps and all monies that I had earned from them. I replied that I would return just the original face value of the stamps and monies equivalent to the face value of the stamps, which is the price that you would pay for them for at the post office. They agreed to that and I returned the stamps on Jan 4, 2001.

They have , since December 11th, contending that I am stealing the stamps, which I have already returned to them. They are telling me that they are assuming that every stamp that was in the collection that resembles one that I am selling, they will consider it as one of their stamps and continue to keep harassing me and infoming others of my thievery.

This person and his attorney have been telling everyone who they can think of that I am a thief, that I can not be trusted, and not to do business with me.

They continue to send me emails to harass me, after I have told them and their attorney to tell them that I don't want them contacting me. Their interpretation of the Fair Credit Act is that they are allowed to harass me every 24 hours as long as they wish to. A small sum is still due them, so they think they can continue to harass me for it.

I need to know what I can do about this. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

What gave you the right to give them only face value when the real value was probably far more? Because you want that?

Sure they are pissed. And they are within their right to call you a guy who does not live up to his or her agreements and then acts outrageously.

Caling you a thief is probably an overstatement, but not by much. If so that could be libel if in writing or slander per se if made orally.

One thing you can do to get them off your back is to pay them what you owe them.

The total value of the stamps was 110% of face value.

Things did not work out as I had hoped them to. These things can and do happen. I tried to make good as best as I could and they accepted that.

I am concerned that they are continuing to harass me. You did not address that.

I also want to find out who they contacted. How would I be able to do that?
