To characterize Audobon Financial as a "bottom feeder collection agency" is an absolute insult to all of the real "bottom feeder collection agencies". These people are lower than pond scum.
They contacted me about a debt from a payday lender. Now granted...the lenders are professional loan sharks... but face it...if one is locked out of the traditional financial assistance markets, then what choice does one have. My first conversation with them was with Latina sounding female who gave her name as Vivian. Of course they say they are recording the call; in fact, there is usually someone else sitting with/near or camped on to their station who is listening to the call. This Vivian person is absolutely vile. She suggested that I call back and speak with her when "I was having a better day"! They in fact called me back days later and after a robust conversation with this Vivian associate, I was connected to another male associate whose name I fail to remember...but I've talked to him several times. This orifice for excremental exiting functions, after a conversation where I was simply requesting that all information be put in writing and sent to me at my post office box, brusquely informed me that "You are going to pay this debt regardless one way or the other..." and hung up.
Fast foward to another conversation where I spoke with this same male associate. He made a settlement offer and I requested that it be put in writing. It was emailed to me. Imagine my surprise when I'm contacted again by them indicating that I failed to abide by the arrangement that was made. Trouble is, the arrangement that they accused me of not keeping was NOT the arrangement that I agreed to...and more importantly was NOT what was emailed to me. It was apparent that the arrangement that is documented in writing...they were unaware of..and this was the same Vivian whom I had spoken to before...and who claimed that the same male associate that I spoke with and had the arrangement with was "sitting right here listening to everything you're saying". Vivian then proceeded to make terroristic threats by implying that they were going to pursue felony charges(!!) against me AND someone whom I listed as a reference when I applied with the payday loan company!!! As Bill Clinton said at the Democratic Convention, "...takes some serious stones..." to imply that they were going after one of my references! I am SO hoping they take action against me now. In fact..after a conversation today, they are claiming that the no longer have the claim. "We got rid of it" was quoted by the same male associate I've spoken with in the past. Guess they think that I will not pursue my complaints. NOT! I am now dedicated to making that company my personal project!
I am now crafting complaints to not only the congressional and local NY assemblyman I mentioned earlier, but also:
Attorney General, State of Virginia
Attorney General, State of New York
Better Business Bureau (via http://www.consumercomplaintagency.org/filecomplaint.html)
County / City Prosecutor, Amherst NY
If you have been victimized by this company, DO NOT LET THEM SLIDE! File COMPLAINTS....EVERYWHERE!!!
