Complaint Review: Fairbanks Goldstein & Rodriguez LLC

Please DO NOT give FAIRBANKS GOLDSTEIN & RODRIGUEZ LLC your business unless you don't expect to receive the monies from the debts they collect for you! It's been over 3 months since the debt was paid in full and NO MONIES RECEIVED! I was actually recommending them to fellow businesses because of how quickly they got results, but all of that is out of the window and those the I made the recommendations to I have since asked them not to deal with them!

On 7/14/2016 I called Fairbanks, Goldstein & Rodriguez office several times, the first time I tried to dial contact the person by name and a gentlemen finally answered, I told him who I was and asked to speak with Marc Goldstein or Patrick Fairbanks and he asked me to hold, placed me on hold for 3 minutes and then the phone call mysteriously dropped. I've called back 8 times since then trying different ways even dialing the extension for Marc that is in his e-mail and no one answers and after so long the call drops.

 This being confirmed that I've done my due diligence to contact FG&R office and received the monies owed for over 3 months (as the balance owed by the my client was paid on 4/8/16, the amount owed my company was $1,280.00). I informed them, in an e-mail, that I would be reporting FG&R firm to the BBB and completing a RIPOFF REPORT online so no one else will be caught unawares by the companies false advertisements, as FG&R did collect the debt from from my client, they just kept it and did not pay my company. I am a micro-business and my business is suffering because of this inconsiderate act on FG&R's part. The below is an account of how & when the debt was collected from my client as well as how many times I tried to get my monies from them. It's been over 3 months now since the debt was paid in full:

 3/4/16:  My client paid $400.00

4/8/16:  My client paid $880.00

4/14/16: Marc Goldstein told me that the payment would be sent out on the 25th (if paid before the 25th of that month)

06/06/16: No funds had been received so I sent an e-mail to Marc Goldstein, Patrick Fairbanks, & Mario with a screen shot of the payments and when they were made by my client.

06/06/16: I spoke with Patrick Fairbainks, twice, who said that he had checked with accounting and I should be receiving it

07/12/16: Still no check I called and I sent a 3rd and Final e-mail (or so I thought) to Marc, Patrick, & Mario requesting status of the funds that I should have received no later than the end of April. - No response

07/13/16: Follow up e-mail and made phone calls - No response

7/14/16:  I made the phone call a gentlemen answered... (see above) then made 8 calls more after that, now sending this e-mail to inform you of my next steps. - Thus far no-response.

AGAIN, I DO REPEAT, "DO NOT GIVE THIS COMPANY ANY BUSINESS" AS THEY ARE A RIPOFF (Will collect the debt but will also KEEP THE MONIES COLLECTED!)
