Just got off the phone with a Daisy Grace, in one of their departments. I wanted to find out why I didn't receive all the money their " PITCH MEN " claimed I would receive by letting them handle the collection of one of my accounts.
I gave them a $ 2, 989.53 collection, based on the " CLAIMED " 18% commission. They made two calls to my customer and called me two days later saying it would have to go to litigation and to send them $ 800.00 and that would have my money by the end of the month. That was in Oct. 2008. We settled on $ 600.00. They sent my claim to a Forwording Company, who sent it back to a collection attorney here in Ohio. They filed the claim in court and were able to collect the $ 2, 989.53.
When I spoke to the Ohio attorney, they had used $ 175.00 of the $ 600.00 for court fees and rest was returned, where I have no idea.
I finaly received a check on 12-24-09 for $1, 494.76, a 50% commission, no return of any of the $ 600.00.
When I talked to Daisy, I became less than professional. She said " Didn't you read the form the Forwording company sent, saying it was 50%? " BAD ME, I thought it was all one operation and expcected what I was promised.
Yes I believe these people are true scam artists and recommend to anyone, that if you if you use any collection company, that you are able to sit in their office and review your claims.
I will file complaints against CII to anyone that will listen.
