STOP CALLING THEM - NEVER EVER CALL A COLLECTION AGENCY - EVERYTHING IN WRITING - CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECIEPT (proof for court) It does no good to try and talk with them they will only lie to you. They are probably trying to collect a debt that you DO NOT OWE! go to www.budhibbs.com and read dealing with collectors 101 this is what is posted about these bottomfeeders on the budhibbs website Typical of the Buffalo style CMS has an endless pool of potential employees to fill the chairs that feed their operations. The newspaper stories extol the optimistic attitudes of owners, Jeffry Hauser and Larry Costa along with Patricia and Timothy Kraska of an ever growing business that needs only their talent and expertise to survive. Emails and information from former employees suggest Capital Management Services is suffering from the same fate that most other Buffalo, NY debt collection organizations face in an unhappy work force, far reaching drug use and untrained, unprofessional management and work staff squeezing every minute they can out of their unprofessional collectors. CMS, is suffering from too much growth too fast. The number of debt collectors in America is at an all time high, which has created a shortage of accounts to collect and a potential drought in areas like Buffalo, the debt collection capital of the world. So if we use terms such as... Buffalo style collection practices' to describe the actions of CMS employees and are told that drug use and criminal activity is on the increase, why should we even blink, isn't that what the business in that area is expected to do? If CMS has anything good going for them, it is the fact that they have an experienced and respected attorney in Patricia Cipriani. Her background and reputation may be saving Hauser a bundle in legal settlements. Don't count on luck forever Jeffrey, your house is reported to be a mess and it needs a thorough cleaning. Anyone dealing with Capital Management Services, Buffalo, NY be warned to take precautions, NEVER give a collector your banking or credit card information, tape ALL of their conversations and contact me for referral to attorneys. As long as they are making money, they will continue to pay off their law suits.
