I'm in on the class action suit, let me know

PLEASE DON'T SEND ANY MONEY TO THESE PEOPLE. TELL THEM TO GO HELL. PLEASE DON'T BE AFFRAID TO CHALLENGE ANYONE TRYING TO GET YOUR MONEY. THIS IS ANOTHER COLECTOR TRYINMG A NEW WAY TO GET YOUR MONEY. ANTY HONEST COMPANY WOULD HAVE A WED SITE

call them and ask them for there wedsite. please don't let them get there supervisor

that's not totally true.PDM,and AIS have websites and they are two bottomfeeders.not having a website is bad,but some bottomfeeders have them.

I answered my phone today and a woman asked for me. I asked "Who may I ask is calling" she was very rude and spouted off her name and company and said she needed me, I told her that it was me and she said I was listed as a reference for my mother and that I needed to take her number down and have her call. I was also told by her that they were NOT a collection agency and she had a File that was just opened up against my mother. They talked to my mother also, and told her she could not send a money order by mail, they would return it, that she could pay by phone IF she sent a copy of her D/L and the Debit card by fax AND that ontop of the additinal $20 they were already charging for handling the account they wanted ANOTHER $12.50 to process the card. OR she could do a money gram which is $10.00. I called them back and asked for a supervisor, he was rude from the moment he came on the phone and I got nowhere. DO NOT PAY THEM! Do NOT belive ANY of their scare tactics, what they are doing is Illegal. Call the company you have the debt out with, you probably will need to be persistant and get to Corporate and get someone a bit high up, Let them know you want to pay your debt or make arrangements and tell them your expeirence. MOST companies will take your payment directly. You made the debt with the company NOT the CA, and you CAN pay the company directly, you just have to know how to go about it and don't take no for an answer. If you need help in doing this you can shoot me an email Breez

I have received several calls from H&P, all threatening to arrest me at work or my home. I was worried at first, but, after the 1st or 2nd threat and nothing happened, I knew they were just blowing smoke. I haven't started the process yet, but I do intend to file a complaint with the AG in the state of Florida.

I think FL is a 2 party state so you would have to inform them you are recording the call but a tape of those threats would be of interest ot both AG's and Consumer Attorneys.

I just received a call from a John Lewis and he told me that I was going to be arrested and so on for not paying a debt. Can they show up at my work and if so what can they do or has anyone shown up at any of your works or home before? What should I do to resolve this matter? I asked to set up payment arrangements and they said that I could not do that so i am not sure what to do..

for starters,john lewis broke the law stating that.debts are civil matters,not criminal ones.you can't and won't be arrested for owing a debt.next time this bottomfeeder calls confirm your address only.then tell him to send you something in writing.hang up,do not talk to him again until he sends something.that is what you do.

I spoke with one of the owner's wives today and she is HIGHLY concerned. They just purchased this company which YES was previously Legal Mediation. She said that they had an idea that the previous company was doing some shady things, but they did retain alot of the former employees, and have been gradually weeding them out. Hopefully this company can make a turn around and get rid of the past people that are being rude and doing things illegally

we'll see about that won't we now.

Yeah, it's been almost two months now and the threats are still coming? Florida is an "employment at will" state, all they have to do to "weed out" the bad employees is fire them. End of story.

They don't even have to give them a reason why they are firing them.

So, we'll see how many posts we continue to see here regarding H&P Capital and its shenanigans.

In the meantime, people, be sure to file complaints with the proper authorities!

The person suppsedly managing the agents there is a Mr.Stuart! This man is rude, its funny you call them with an attitude and they tell you to speak to them with respect. I told Mr. Stuart, alright you want me to speak to you with respect then how about you pull everyone off the phone for 20mins and train them on the way to RESPECT people, he told me that I do not sign his paycheck so I needed to stop telling him how to do his job. After that call is when I did a smartpages.com search on Mr. Henrion, who was listed as one of the Presidents, got the residential number and spoke with his wife. WELL now it seems something is happening because this Mr.Stuart contacted Checksmart and started yelling at them telling them they interfeared with his collections by accepting my Mother's payment directly...even though they are who the money was owed. Then Mr. Sturart LIED to them and said that my mother had turned Checksmart into the proper authorities and that they are in trouble, when it is H & P that was turned in.

I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH H & P ALSO AND IT'S SOMEWHAT COMFORTING TO KNOW THAT I AM NOT ALONE. AS FOR THE H & P BITCH THAT PROBABLY GOT PAID TO MAKE A COMMENT TO ALL OF US BECAUSE YOU KNOW H & P EMPLOYEES WILL APPARENTLY DO ANYTHING FOR MONEY AS WE ALL SEE FROM THERE THREATS AND HARRASMENT OF OURSELVES, OUR FAMILIES, AND EMPLOYERS. ANY RESPECTABLE MEMBER OF SOCIETY IN THE USA SHOULD HAVE ATLEAST AN UNDERSTANDING THAT TODAY IN THIS ECONOMY YOU LIVE IN PEOPLE ARE HAVING HARDER TIMES THAN NORMAL. A RESPECTABLE MEMBER OF SOCIETY HAS SOME RESPECT FOR OTHERS IN THIS SOCIETY. IF YOU ARE WILLING TO WORK WITH PEOPLE THEY ARE WILLING TO WORK HARDER FOR YOU.
AND I DON'T THINK PEOPLE TRY TO HIDE FROM THEM. kNOWONE WANTS TO WASTE THERE TIME LISTENING TO THERE THREATS. WE ALL HAVE OTHER THINGS GOING ON IN OUR LIVES. WE ARE NOT SITTEN AROUND WAITING FOR THEM TO CALL!!!

AND I DONOT DOUBT FOR ONE SECOND BY LISTENING TO HOW NASTY THESE PEOPLE ARE THEY HAVE A LOT MORE PROBLEMS THAN WE DO. SO DON'T TAKE IT PERSONAL JUST HANG UP ON THEM. THATS WHAT I DO NOW!!!

BY THE WAY, I WAS COMMENTING ABOUT THE EARLIER MESSAGE FROM SOME REALLY RUDE PERSON WHOM SOUNDED LIKE A H & P EMPLOYEE THAT LEFT A MESSAGE ON THIS BOARD EARLIER. BUT I HAVE REALLY LEARNED ALOT ABOUT THIS COMPANY AND HOW TO DEAL WITH THEM IN THE FUTURE. YOUR STORIES AND COMMENTS HAVE BEEN VERY HELPFUL FOR ME.

THANKS

I received a call from a Amy Bishop at work today. She said that she was from H & P capitol and that her company was hired by payday loan services. I asked her if I could give her my cell number to call me back later as I could not talk at work. she stated NO you call me back and do so before 3pm becuase that was when they were refering this to LEGAl and I would have my pay garnished and she did not want me to be embarrassed at work. I went to lunch and called from my car and asked how can they do this without going to court and obtaining a judgement against me? I also informed her that I have been in contact with someone at payday loans and have made arrangements. She stated that 2 other collection agencies before it was sent to H & P. I asked her what agency's and she said the only one that she could remember was AIS ( I have never heard from them) which is what I stated to her. She put me on hold to get a floor manager to help me... A man by the name of Tim H got on the phone and I stated the same information. he stated that this was more serious than a wage garnishment and that if I was " a few dollars short" he could work with me. He stated that because the loan was " such a large amount" that I had to pay it today. When asked how much he stated $795.00. I told him I did not have it and he stated ok then I hope everything works out for you . Good Luck and at 3pm this would go out. I live in Massachusetts and I am not familiar with the collection laws but i am going to look them up now
