Continental Collection Agency

NO RESPECT FOR WORKING FOLK

by Tony Hernandez at Citysearch

The reason I got into this financial mess with Continental Collection is not diputable by me. It was an Apartment that I broke a lease on. I had a roomate who broke the lease as well. He shares in the debt. CC couldnt find him so they came after me. My wages were garnished. After consenting that I had no choice but to keep my job and pay my debt, I asked SHERRY if my Former Roomate would be helping pay CC along with me. SHERRY told me my Former Roomate was unemployed. That was a lie. I knew he had a job, but they coulnt track him down. I asked Sherry for a decrease in my ganishment, currently at 25% weekly, if I could provide them with job status and address of FR, SHERRY agreed. It took a few months, but I eventually tracked FR down through mutual friends. I called CC and gave SHERRY the scoop. When I asked again for the decrease in garnishment, based on the information I provided, SHERRY changed her tune. She told me that I was offered a lump sum settlement if paid by July. Since I was offered the settlement and couldnt come up with the 2000 dollars by July, the decrease request was not accepted. Now I dont know if this is a fair business practice or not, but something is not right!!! I still have a balance of $1500, I have paid $2150(at 25% a week), and FR is still not being garnished!!!! Can someone help?

• Pros: NONE AT ALL
• Cons: Complete Liars

Poorly run, does anybody work there?

by ddd1976 at Citysearch

this place garnished my wages. they were too dumb to stop when the balance was paid. when i called for my refund, i was told it may take 2 months to get it! W-T-F?!?!?! Is that even legal? i called back to talk to a supervisor & was told they werent working. i called again & asked to talk to the owner and was told they werent working. WHO IS IN CHARGE AT THIS UNLAWFUL PLACE? does anybody even work there? must be the poorest run compny ever. i am reporting them & hopefully they will close soon & then no one will work their anymore.

• Pros: I am reporting them & should be out of business soon
• Cons: Disgusting excuse for a legal agency

what a treat!

after getting a report from the credit bureau that I owed money to an apartment complex I called this collection agency to inform them I've lived in the same house for the last 15 years and on which I've been paying the mortgage for these last 15 years..the manager Mike hung up on me after I would not agree that we had talked before last May..no conversation took place in May or at any other time and I've never heard of this apartment complex before.

Can I take them to court for this?

• Pros: well practised jerk@ff
• Cons: too many to list
