TekCollect
Reviews and Complaints

How dare you besmearch the reputation of this company without proof.

There is a reason business's use a contract to spell out what both parties are agreeing on. This agreement allows a third party, perhaps a court of law to determine if either party has failed to live up to their contractual obligations.
TekCollect's contract spells out exactly what they will do for their client and how much it will cost.

TekCollect also provides clients access 24/7 via the Internet to review all collection activity for each account submitted for collections. This includes letters written, phone calls made and all monies collected. What do you mean " you can't find out about you accounts "?

The TekCollect program works when used properly. Unfortunately the program can't fix Stupid.

Show me your contract along with the debts submitted for collections and I will prove too you that TekCollect honored their contractual obligations 100 % of the time. If you did not read your contract before signing it you should not be in business. Don't blame TekCollect for your incompetence. Bring forth your complaints in a court of
law, it won't cost you a dime if you a have a legitimate argument. Don't bloviate on the Internet like a spineless wuss.

The TekCollect Sales Representative opportunity is not for everyone. It requires a great deal of hard work to be successful. This is best suited for professional sales people who do not make excuses or blame the company they work for their own Short Cummings. The little pansy [censored] whiners I read here today would fall into that category.
The may be order takers but they sure as hell are not professionals.

I am a client of TeKCollect and wish I had never entered a contract with them. I paid thousands of dollars for them to handle accounts which weren't being paid. In over 3 years they have never gotten back one penny for me. When I have complained they're only logic is to say that I should send them more accounts and this would increase the possibility of their success. I finally decided to close the accounts to ha file them myself in small claims court. I wish I had never bothered with them. They are completely impotent. If you have debts owed, take my advice, just go to small claims court. It's less expensive and more successful then this scam business!

its a debt collection agency, if you dont owe a debt they cant call you. people seem to forget how business works. this is america and the order of the day is capitalism, if these business practices up set you, look up the term fiat currency and see how you feel about that

Got a letter from them stating I owe back local taxes in NC where I lived 4YEARS AGO! I've done my taxes since and find that I owe nothing. I've dealt with these types before, know your rights under the fairness and debt collections act. You have the right to any and all information they have on you and any information regarding your "debt". If they are legit like they claim, they should be more then willing to ablige.

My husband has worked for Tek Collect for several years now. Selling debt collection systems is certainly not a job for the feint of heart. It requires great time management skills (since you manage your own time), great people skills (to be successful you really need to enjoy visiting with and helping people), a willingness to learn a lot of new information about the systems and about different types of companies needs, and perserverance.
My husband does very well at Tek Collect and has an excellent reputation with the businesses he helps. He has a binder full of letters of recommendation from thrilled clients from all types of different businesses. He checks in with clients often, to make sure that they are content and have no questions. The clients he has that don't see good results are the clients who don't use the program as it was designed to be used. If a client has only two huge, old accounts that they want collected, that's not really the purpose of Tek Collect. It's mostly about the regular people who just need a little nudge/reminder or two to do the right thing and pay you in a timely manner.. It's an accounts management system, not "I've been trying to get these two dead beats to pay me for five years now... system".
If you are a disgruntled job searcher, you don't have to blame Tek Collect for not being the job you dreamed for. It is full commission. Most people can't handle that. I don't blame you...I feel comfortable with my salary job. Of course, it works out really well for the people like my husband, who can enjoy talking to anyone and is willing to work hard to maintain a good and helpful relationship with his clients.

TeK Collect. As of May 2013, they are banned from practicing as a collection agency in the state that they are homed in. Thereby having no legitimate claims on anyone. They should be filed on if they report you to a credit reporting agency.

Sorry but what a bunch of uniformed cry babies! We've got debtors who don't understand the laws of the land (FDCPA forbids disclosure of information of consumer debt to others), an idiot "like to help" ( who knows better), a wacky trucker/bad check taker ( understand deterioration of debt is 1/2 of 1% PER DAY according to the US Dept of Commerce) What a Motley Crew! A full presentation was done for each and everyone of you which is the same one that is done around the country. Why is it that tens of thousands of companies are receiving up to 3 times the national average? The idea is and always has been to get the delinqunet accounts in to a professional collection agency BEFORE they become bad debt! Please to the guy who's "friend" didn't get his commisions? more detail is needed.

what's your number tom Shultz? I'd love to ask you some questions regarding our accounts with your company. that have yet to have any collections in over a year? hmm. if you're so readily available your direct number should be on your post.

Having read all of the comments and unfortunately having been scammed by Tek Collect, I have a few thoughts to add. To those of you considering employment by these charlatans I advise that they are not looking for reputable/qualified sales people, but rather potential con artists. The company provides the training, script and hooks that will allow you to join the ranks of the best scam artists our country has seen.
The SCAM is to convince small businesses who are suffering in this economy from large receivables balances, to pay in advance for a service that is generally provided by companies that work on a commission basis. It is painful to admit that their pitch is good enough to convince even the most experienced businessman.
Once they collect the upfront fee, they collect a few dollars in the primary phase and then virtually all of your accounts move on to the 50/50 program where virtually nothing is done.
Having already invested in this program you continue to do all of their real clerical work and receive little or no result. Clearly the goal of the SCAM is to collect large upfront payments and move on to the next sucker.
Like all well constructed Cons the program will continue to gather more and more victims until someone finally puts the perpetrators where they belong, holding hands with Bernie Madoff. Lets hope that day comes sooner than later.

How do you spell SCAM? Tek Collect. Great sales pitch and a few good hooks to land the suckers. When you speak to rep (if you are foolish enough to do so after reading these comments) they will have a great reply to the rational questions that you will ask regarding why you should pay up front for a collection agency. A word to the wise, if it sounds to good to be true, it's because it is.
The entire program is a scam, service is non existent and collection rates are well below industry averages. There is very little evidence that any effort is made to collect in the primary stage and in fact the effort in subsequent stages gets worse. It appears that the goal of the SCAM is simply to collect the up front cash and move on to the next sucker. Any money collected is simply paid by debtors who respond with little effort on the part of Tek Collect staff. It is clear that many other scam artists are in jail for this type of activity and one can only hope that these crooks ultimately receive their just reward.
