Has anyone else received a collection notice for late fees from Hollywood Video?

I did not see any other posts about this, but thought the title of this thread was sort of relevant (although the first post is not. )

Has anyone else received a collection notice for late fees from Hollywood Video?

I just got one saying I owe almost $300 in late fees.

After doing some searching on Google, it seems tons of people are getting these. Some States are taking action. My wife just wants to pay on move on, but I have already contacted my local Attorney general and will probably file a complaint with the FTC. I also want to send them a letter asking for written validation of the alleged debt and not a statement showing my account number and balance.

I'm a little fuming about this.
