HF Holdings, Curtis Ames Company puts NOTHING in writing Internet - Florida?
I was looking for assistance in collecting a court-ordered debt owed to me by a former tenant of my rental property and put out a few feelers on the internet. Shortly thereafter, I was contacted by Curtis Ames of HF Holdings Inc and was told about all of the services they could provide in going after that debt.
I agreed to pay just over $100 for them to start the collection process with my former tenant and provided them with the court case information. My first clue that something was hinky is that I received a receipt via email that only stated the amount I paid to HF Holdings and the date. There was no description of what I was paying for or other paperwork or contract provided (or required).
After a couple of months, I had not heard back, so I emailed Curtis for an update on the case. I promptly received a phone call from Curtis with an "update" on the case. Not much progress.
I waited another month and sent an email for an update, and again, promptly received a phone call from the same number as before. This time, however, I did not answer it. I thought something hinky was going on and wanted him to respond via email (i.e. in writing). After not receiving an email in return, I sent another email a week later, explicitly stating that I wanted a response via email. Nothing!
After another week, I sent another email stating that I wanted a written response via email within the next five days or a refund of my money or I would report HF Holdings as a scam. Since I'm writing this report on RipOffReport.com, I guess you know the outcome.
Lesson learned - do not do business with a company that does not put your agreement in writing! Please learn from my mistake. Thank goodness I'm only out $100 and not the original amount they wanted me to pay.
