I hired R.B.A to collect on a bad debt to my company. I recieved a call from an associate (Scott Strickland) informing me that He has located, and immediately placed an attachment in the amount of $4,000 on a bank account containing over $15,000. The fee to complete this process is $960 that is added to the $1,644 (origional amout owed by debtor). The associate then offered to send another oustanding unpaid invoice (submitted To R.B.A 6 months prior) to litigation and assured me that they will succeed in retrieving those funds as well. I faxed a copy of the check sent via Fed Ex (03/16/10 for a total of $1,160 for both cases. The debtor filed an anti-harassment order against me including R.B.A as a third party. Included in the petitioner's (debtors) supporting documents is a letter from Scott Strickland from R.B.A dated 03/17/10 demanding settlement for only $1,890.60. This letter to the debtor is not consistant with the agreement that I signed on 3/16/10 stating an attorney has been assigned to this case. The anti-harrassment / protection order filed against me by the debtor was denied and dismissed during the 04/01/10 hearing for which I hired an attorney to represent me. On 04/19/10, I returned a call to Jodi from RBA who informed me that I jeopordized my own case by contacting the debtor, and violated my signed agreement with RBA which is purely false. This case is clearly being manipulated by RBA only and my requests and demands for the refund of my money paid $1,160 (for phony litigation) are also being ignored and manipulated by RBA!
In addition RBA has collected $200.00 from another case on 03/18/10 (less than the amount of the amount I am claiming). I was called and informed by Valerie from RBA on 03/22/10 informing me that I would be receiving a payment from RBA. She would not disclose the amount of the payment, only that I would be receiving it at the end of the month (March?). I have received nothing in regards to that conversation either.
