Thank you for your information Amy, Please know that as soon as I became aware of the criminal activities, all proper steps were taken. The account was closed, and all [3] companies were notified that this sleeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzz bag was fraudulently using our bank information, for the purchases that were being made. Disputes with the bank regarding the unauthorized charges were made. Several law enforcement agencies were notified of the criminal activities. Did I mention he ordered personalized wedding napkins, with his last name on it? When this collector, called me at work 3x in one day [because I hung the phone up on him] I kind of wonder if this is what he meant when he stated, " Oh, you DON'T WANT TO DO THAT TO ME" ** UPDATE** Company assures the BBB thru a memo, that they investigated, and found that indeed in his notes [Mr. Williams], called my workplace after I requested he stop. His supervisor was made aware of the situation. He was counseled, and will be watched, and retrained. They [AllianceOne] stated that "they don't condone or tolerate rude behavior." Alliance One did extend an apology to me in their letter to the BBB, for my bad experience with their company. My question is " does AllianceOne condone, and tolerate criminal activites?" I am somewhat confused, my complaint to the BBB was not about rude behavior.

I don't know about your state but in Minnesota collection agencies must be licensed with the Department of Commerce. Additionally, individual collectors (employees of the collection agency) must also be licensed and provide their home addresses. This information is accessable through public record on the Minnesota Department of Commerce's web site. Talib Williams 703 E. State Street Trenton, NJ 86090 Maybe if he has been charging items to your account you need to get the police involved. I hope that helps you with pressing charges for what seems like criminal behavior by this man.
