RRI INC
RRI, INC RAWLINGS & RIVERA TIME TO COLLECT ON A RIPEOFF COLLECTIONS AGENCY. TIME TO FILE A LAW SUIT DALLAS, Texas
THEY TARGET BAIL BOND COMPANIES. We recieved a call from the friendly voice of Patricia Johnson (probably not her name) telling us how they can take on our collections and made a great pitch. We are a Bail Bond Company and need some help on collections.
I should be ashamed of myself since skip tracing people is part of my job but being busy I thought this was a great idea...WRONG.
I sent many thousands of dollars in collections to them. I didn't expect much at first since this is a length process...well 9 months later I have recieved one check FOR 745.00, 45 days late and have recieved no accounting of where our accounts are so I FIRED them.
I have made no less that 40 calls to be put off By their receptionist and have been hung up on several times. I requested their address to be hung up on also.
I have been doing some checking and the FTC filed suit on them on there collections tactics, I have filed complaints with the FTC, Governors office of Consumer Protection in GA and plan on filing complaints in every state I can.
I am also filing a law suit in Michigan for the full amount of my collections.
The owners are Joe L Hunt SR, Joe Hunt Jr, Robert W Bird, Janis Brust and they hide behind a guy names Phil Graham (probably not his name either).

Slander is the oral communication of false statements that are harmful to a person's reputation. If the statements are proven to be true, it is a complete defense to a charge of slander. Oral opinions that don't contain statements of fact don't constitute slander. Slander is an act of communication that causes someone to be shamed, ridiculed, held in contempt, lowered in the estimation of the community, or to lose employment status or earnings or otherwise suffer a damaged reputation. Slander is a subcategory of defamation.
The basic elements of a claim of slander include;
1. a defamatory statement;
2. published to third parties;
The scope of constitutional protection extends to statements of opinion on matters of public concern that do not contain or imply a provable factual assertion. If the slander unjustly accused you of a crime or reflected on your profession, the court or jury can assess the damages. For other types of slander you generally must prove some actual damage to be able to recover.
Slander of title is a common law tort involving a disparaging remark regarding ownership of property. It affects the owner's ability to transfer the property, resulting in a monetary loss.
Due to privacy law there will be no disclosure to the volatility of statement provide to this site by the representative for RRI. We believe all statement fall under the law for slander. All statement will be saved and appropriate action will be taken against all involved in above posting.
Cyber-bullying has been defined as "when the Internet, cell phones or other devices are used to send or post text or images intended to hurt or embarrass another person". [2] Other researchers use similar language to describe the phenomenon.[3][4]
Cyber-bullying can be as simple as continuing to send e-mail to someone who has said they want no further contact with the sender, but it may also include threats, sexual remarks, pejorative labels (i.e., hate speech), ganging up on victims by making them the subject of ridicule in forums, and posting false statements as fact aimed at humiliation.
Cyber-bullies may disclose victims' personal data (e.g. real name, address, or workplace/schools) at websites or forums or may pose as the identity of a victim for the purpose of publishing material in their name that defames or ridicules them. Some cyber-bullies may also send threatening and harassing emails and instant messages to the victims, while other post rumors or gossip and instigate others to dislike and gang up on the target.
The practice of cyber-bullying is not limited to children and, while the behavior is identified by the same definition in adults, the distinction in age groups is sometimes referred to as cyberstalking or cyberharassment when perpetrated by adults toward adults, sometimes directed on the basis of sex. Common tactics used by cyber-stalkers are to vandalize a search engine or encyclopedia, to threaten a victim's earnings, employment, reputation, or safety. In voice chat forums, cyber-stalkers may record what victims say and replay the recordings in a way that humiliates them. A repeated pattern of such actions against a target by an adult constitutes cyber-stalking.
The FBI has a convenient online Cyber Crime form for victims and/or the 3rd party to the complaint that is an easy-to-use reporting mechanism. A partnership has been formed with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3 formerly known as the Internet Fraud Complaint Center IFCC) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C) for the combined objective of identifying and bringing to justice those responsible for online internet fraud.
The FBI-IC3's stated Mission regarding Cyber Crime is "to serve as a vehicle to receive, develop, and refer criminal complaints regarding the rapidly expanding arena of cyber crime." The IC3 provides the victims of cyber crime with an online reporting form that will be used to alert authorities of suspected criminal or civil violations. IC3 also provides their law enforcement partners and regulatory agencies at the federal, state, local and international level the internet related crime with information gathered through complaint forms to this centralized referral system.
In addition to partnering with law enforcement and regulatory agencies, it will remain a priority objective of the IC3 to establish effective alliances with industry. These alliances will enable the IC3 to leverage both the intelligence and subject matter required in identifying and crafting an aggressive, proactive approach to combating cyber crime.
