Mr Mike Moody sent one letter ( 2/26/08 ) concerning an account I thought I had settled with DHL Express last November 2007 , I just forgot and the amount is for $106 49 he threatened my wife that he was ready ti sue he hangs up the phone while trying to set a date for such a small amount and , well
I do not want to be angry with wrong names my wife and I are both in our
mid sixties and I still work she is totally disabled and in constant pain
and she may have mis understood however that does not give him the right to continue to threaten us and be vile ? I made arrangements with DHL and on April 4 2008 i will pay this money however i must catch up my house paymenys and auto electric phone etc

thank uou

    Sue over 106.49?  Not likely.

    Is this a business debt, or a personal consumer debt?

      AFG, for years, has decided against giving any validity to these type postings, instead, standing on our 57 year reputation as a leader in the
      Collection Industry, handling over 100,000 accounts per year, having an A+ rating with the BBB and representing many Fortune 500 companies.

      The Internet is a very powerful tool and a fantastic resource when used as intended.  Unfortunately, it, also, allows an open forum, for authors such as this, to hide behind anonymity and post derogatory comments in an unwarranted attempt to cause harm to a company or person. By refusing to identify themselves, they speaks volumes as to the validity of their comments.

      While we cannot prevent the rantings of a handful of vindictive people, the Amalgamated family of employees, (many of which have 20 to 35 years of service) stand by our longevity and reputation to fend off these ridiculous, unfounded accusations.

      Should you wish further clarification on any of the above, feel free to contact me at 1-800-631-5597 ext. 8815.

      This company has very unprofessional people collecting for them.  I would not worry about being sued over that small amount.

      Had this agency call a few times regarding debt from FedEx. The amount that the collections company had vs what FedEx was reporting was inaccurate. Collections was trying to collect on a higher amt than what was owed.

      Lisa Hennery calls me all the time from "AMALGAMATED FINANCIAL GROUP" and harasses me because I don't make it to the post office with a check when she thinks I should.

      I used to work for amalgamated fin group.. I was there several years.... The president CEO is John Weiszarak. I can say from personnel experinece that they treat all their employees( the collectors) especially like second class citizens.... Seriously, the company is disfunctional, they threaten their employees, demand you to work there til 8pm at night if your wok is not completed. You are literally treated like dirt... They say they have an atty on site btw called Weinstock & O'Malley(attorneys). That's bogus. The president son in law- alias name Peter Dee works for him. He is NOT  an attorney...... For all of you that get threatening calls, and harassement calls, record them, dates, time, and report this low live company for what they are.....These collectors are worked to the bone, and penalized for bad- perdormance if they don't collect (% ea week ) of checks. Take this from a former employee. The suck big time..... I no longer work there, because if I did I would have died. Best of luck to you all

        Thats not malicious nor unfactual good luck proving that in court...  stop harrassing your ex-employees because they said something that you didnt like.  Maybe use it as a tool to move forward and change some things.
