Mr. Kison and Mr. Potluri are no longer under investigation due to a discovery of fraudulent activity, death threats, and extortion of an ex-employee, as well as a previous client who wasn’t satisfied with their business ethics. Our department would like to make matters clear; Mr. Kison, and Mr. Potluri do not have warrants out for their arrest in the state of Texas. The owners would like to ask everyone who is involved with internet slandering to cease all attempts of false accusations. If these falsified posts continue, then Mr. Kison and Mr. Potluri will have no other choice but to move forward with criminal charges. I ask of those who were affected by this individual/ individuals to please reframe from the verbal threats, or you too will be detained. Please let the department handle these matters.
We appreciate your corporation.

I have came across all these internet claims regarding my estranged husband Romeo Vasquez Kison Jr aka Jay Vasquez or Jay Kison. I have to say i am quite embarresed for myself and my kids but I have to reach out for help from anybody. Romeo aka Jay left his two beatuiful girls and me 6 months pregnant in AUgust 2013. I have reported him missing etc.. you name it. I tried to get a hold of anyone and anybody i could from family to friends that i knew. I finally got a response back from his brother and mother that he left his family for another women named Kristin Robbins that lives on Sage rd Galleria area which his own family do not care for their nieces/granddauthers/newphew/grandson. He has abandoned his kids and me left me with back up taxes and insurance claims plus bills. I am asking if anyone knows him or the Kison family or Kristin Robbins even his parnter Naresh Potluri to please tell him to help his kids he left us with nothing!!!!! Turned his back on me and his own blood (kids) for another women. Also please tell him to give me a divorce and stop living a lie. Regarding Jay girlfriend how dumb of you to be with someone who is still married and has kids and a baby on the way thats beyond homewricker there are no words! Man up to your responiblies Romeo aka Jay Kison and pay child support for your kids besides spending it on yourself and girlfriend when your children need food in their mouth. Again am sorry for anything he has put people thru he does it to his own family and blood. I would appreciate any help since he left us with nothing and bills exceeding over $10,000.

I used to work for this company and all I have to say is “UNBLIEVABLE”. I lost my job because some moron (ex-employee) decided to hack into the company system in order to delete the company client list because he got fired! Now Christmas is coming and now I can’t afford to buy my d**n kids gifts because I’m out of JOB because the company had to shut down! Granted the owners were going through a business crisis with an ex-employee, but now this same person has convinced others and are trying to convince potential clients that the owners are criminals so that the company can no longer be in business! Are you freaking serious? I talked to the owners and they would like to rehire their staff, but they won’t, They don’t know who else is involved. THIS SUCKS!!! They gave you your d**n check & benefits, why the hell are you posting this bogus sh@!? Get a life already because it’s obvious you’re destroying others! Unemployment ain’t worth sh@!!

Since anyone can make a fake account on this website don't believe anything you read from the positive feed back. If you do buisness with this person you will get screwed. Please do yourself a favor and stay far away from this petty thief. If you decide to disregard this warning then your a bigger idiot then I can imagine. This guy does not have a valid website or picture or history of anything but scams on google. This guy is nothing but a petty thief please lets work together to get this guy behind bars.

We also used HPM and Associates LLC for our debt collection. From what I have been able to piece together from customers, HPM has collected a minimum of $2,400.00 on our behalf- of which we have NEVER received a cent. Whoever is responding that all clients have been paid is a liar, liar, liar.
The phones and website are shut down- there is no way to contact these criminals. Stay away from this company and all individuals associated with it. If the same has happened to you, PLEASE file local and state criminal reports and to the Texas States Attorney.

I’m a current customer with HPM & Associates and after seeing this complaint on ripoff report I was confused. I’m not sure why this person is claiming Mr. Potluri & Mr. Vasquez aren’t paying their clients because as for me, I received my money without any problems. I placed well over 30 accounts with this company and so far, only 8 accounts remain in collections. They’ve collected over $80,000 for my company within the past 4 months and they continue to show integrity.
Mr. Vasquez even told me I could pick the check up from his office. I had a situation where as a subcontractor I had hired to do a job called me making verbal threats of a lawsuit, because I placed his business into collections. I contacted HPM & Associates and the owners immediately dealt with the situation. Mr. Potluri advised me that this subcontractor could not make such a claim. The owners brought their attorneys on board to help execute the collection process and after 2 weeks of their collection efforts, I received a phone call from Mr. Vasquez informing me that the subcontractor paid the full balance of $10,000.
I was impressed, and even more surprised that they didn’t even charge me attorney fees. To hear that Mr. Potluri & Mr. Vasquez are criminals and not paying their clients sounds a bit foolish. As a business owner myself, I understand you’re going to have to deal with the bad and the good, that’s just the nature of business. I wouldn’t be surprise if that subcontractor filed a ripoff report on me because I placed him into collections. I hope they can rectify this matter immediately.
Best of luck guys.

Upon further investigation, allegations of check fraud, insurance fraud, and not paying employees were false. As an employee of HPM & Associates, I jumped to conclusions too quickly. Come to find out, the person who posted a video on youtube and everywhere else on the internet claiming the owners were criminals, was an ex-employee. This person is currently being dealt with by the company’s attorney & authorities for slander, internet hacking and also trying to hack into their business bank account.
This person also posted fake negative reviews on Google & Yelp. Everything that was posted on the internet I copied and paste because I was upset that I didn’t receive my check on time. Now that the evidence has come to light, I now understand why we all received our checks late. Once again, this was due to this ex-employee trying to hack into the business bank account, which meant the owners had to close that account and reopen another account. A learning lesson from all of this is, assumption will make a complete fool out of anyone.
My apologies go out to Naresh Potluri & Jay Vasquez’s family for my immature decision by placing them on RipoffReport.com. This has been hard on them for business, as well as their families having to see these false allegations all over the internet. I hope my negative claim can be removed from Ripoffreport asap. Also just to confirm, all employees were paid their paychecks & their insurance benefits. No money was laundered through the company and all of the clients have been paid.
My apologies,
