I want to sue Sprint for violating a FCC order?
5 years ago I won a judgment again Sprint because they were charging me $200 per month in roaming charges (even with a plan that allowed it) for which they had to reverse every month back. This still did not excuse the fact that they didn't provide coverage. I contacted the FCC and they ordered them to allow me out of contract without penalty and to eliminate the roaming fees... 5 years later I get a collection notice that they are charging me the very fees that they were ordered not to.
This is obviously on my credit report at this point and I need to sue them for it. Where would I go or who would I contact?

Firstly, by law you do not have to talk to any collection agent. Tell them "I will only speak to the company that claims the debt." You will have to repeat this, as they only care about getting paid for collecting. Tell them to take your number off of their list.
Secondly, It will cost you a lot of money to sue them. It seems that you have the where with all to care for this yourself. Put your documentation together. Send it to Sprint's executive offices by registered mail. Give them four to eight weeks to respond and correct the situation. Also cc your Public Service Commission and request their intervention. Also do the same with your attorney Generals office and the FCC. (Do not let them know that you are asking help from each other, or they will wait to see what happens.) If all else fails, find out who is the highest level management, of Sprint, in your area. Put them on notice. If this does not work, sue them in Small Claims Court, naming Sprint and the local manager as defendants. Ask for a monetary judgment and an order for Sprint to clear your credit report.
Good Luck!

It may not be on your credit report.
This is zombie debt... it looks like Sprint did not charge this off properly. Tell the people that you don't owe the money. Check your credit report... if it appears there, take it up with the credit bureau.
In most states, this is out of statute debt, so they can't even sue you for it even if you did owe it. The collection company is gambling that you don't know that.

You have 30 days to contact the collection agency and request that they verify the debt. Hopefully, they will determine that it is in error. If not, you can proceed with getting a free copy of your credit report to see if it is on there. If it is, you may dispute it with the credit reporting agency, complain to the FTC, and file suit against Sprint.

If you want to sue them... you should contact an attorney.
A large company like sprint will have a team of their own attorney's to fight you, so you need your own.

Contact your lawyer who did the first case for you. You shouldn't hav to file another suit, however, you could file contempt of court charges.
Have your attorney handle it.
