Pat Live is a scam company! They are currently set up in Tallahassee FL as a fly by night company. They have had several reports to the attorney general of Florida for deceptive business practices!Pat Live attempted to charge my credit card in the amount of $50 on two separate transactions! When these unauthorized charges appeared online with my bank, I immediately disputed the charges. Wells Fargo issued a routine investigation on this company and the unauthorized charges to my account, were reversed in my favor. A couple of months went by and I received a nasty collection call, stating that I owed money to a company by the name of Pat Live. Interesting since this issue was already squashed with my bank.

Long story short, they sent the account that was set up under my name to their collection agency of scum telemarketers
trying to collect. Pat Live is desperate at this point for accounts to have to turn to this kind of scam. Several companies in Canada and U.S. have been shut down for these deceptive practices(Example: Google Ambus Registry). Again a common practice for these scammers is they call up a business and claim the business called on has ordered a product/service.
They prey on the the individual caving in off the relentless pressure and scare tactics from the collector AKA glorified telemarketer and give in to pay the balance owed. Unfortunately several individuals fall victim to this, as they are in fear of their credit being damaged. These companies primarily victimize the elderly, as they feel they are weak!

 Its only a matter of time that Pat Live will live through their amateur mistakes and consequences of operating in this manner. Buyer Beware of this company and report to the State of Florida's Attorney General as they are under tight surveillance.

FACT that PATLive Is Providing Incorrect Information

PATLive has documented a written letter that shows false accusations against self and Wells Fargo with how the chargeback I issued based on fraudulent activity was investigated and performed(It should be noted that from the initial investigation the chargeback issued was concluded in my favor). PATLive has documented that they initially won the chargeback that was issued but because of my persistence, Wells Fargo and Visa reopened the claim that was already closed in favor of PATLive and decided to reissue the funds back into my account! This is FALSE information provided by PATLive. I urge any business owner reading this post who doenst already know how a chargeback works to call their bank to have this process explained to them in case this happens to you. Any banking institution will give a temporary credit to the individual requesting a chargeback. Next step is Visa or Mastercard will perform a 45-90 investigation by contacting in this case the merchant of PATLive. PATLive has 45 days to respond with recorded phone calls, or any material showing that they as a company did perform a service. With recorded phone calls and material that PATLive is falsely claiming they have documented, Visa concluded their was no evidence received that showed PATLive performed a service, concluding this matter with fraud on their end. The case is now closed! Once a decision has been made on a claim of this matter, Visa does not go back and fourth on exchanging funds from account to account. And once a final decision is made the case is closed and not reopened(Can be confirmed by your bank). So again what has been written here is fact not my opinion. PATLive has transferred my information illegally after having the opportunity to show proof of how legitimate they are to Visa, their merchant account and my bank, to a telemarketing boiler room of collection agents who are threatening me to pay a balance due! Again not only is this going to be corrected through my attorneys but please Google their collection agency they have contracted with and see how they pull up on Google with complaint after complaint: Google:Receivable Management Services Scam. The material provided for RMS when performing a Google search show RMS operates under deceptive business practices and are not  following the Fair Act Debt Collection as noted. I will end this post with stating I am much larger than PATLive and will now pursue this matter legally as PATLive has already proven out to my bank that they are a fraudulent company. Once again I am keeping it very simple here and what has been stated is fact that can be backed up by contacting your bank and typing into Google the collection agency to show how PATLive has contracted with a scam collection agency...there is nothing PATLive or a scam collection agency can do except continue to try and threaten me with their scare tactics and misguided information of what occurred and make their situation worse with what I have documented. Again this matter will be pursued with my attorneys and backing of my bank and as I stated I am without a doubt much larger than PATLive and its unfortunate they are putting themselves in this position and refuse to resolve the matter professionally.
