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

        You have zero reputation........ ........All lies...... No respect for your employees AT ALL..........HIGHEST PAID! NOW THAT'S FUNNY.......You keep on believing your lies, that's is why AMALGAMATED  has such a HIGH TURNOVER RATE........because the employees realize that its a sweatshop, and that nothing is EVER going to be good enough for the company...... You push your employees to their breaking point, just so the managers( I use that word loosely) can be paid their bonuses off the collectors who are doing all the grunge work.............

        Mike----
        I agree 100% with you on that. Worst company in the world to work for, Turn over is ridiculous, but smart of anyone to get out of there when you can. They run their employees to the ground. Sweat shop indeed.

          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 speak 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.

      Everything your reading above is true. (Except for the hilariously false comments from "management")
      I hope other people read this before working at this hell hole. They work people to the bone, are ungrateful, and slave drivers. Even inmates are allowed more freedom than this sweat shop. No amount of pay is worth taking a job like this that will literally kill you!

        overtime without getting paid unrealistic commission system. They bully you and harass you if you leave without finishing your calls meaning they expect you to work for free. "Sweat shop" indeed. The turnaround rate is incredible. Worst company to work for no doubt.

      Houston Business harassed
      Got a call and asked the "attorney" if he was a debt collector and if this was a debt collecting agency or an actual law firm. He stated that they were a LAWFIRM. However, after more research, I have found that they are not a law firm. I believe that this is against the law to use this type of tactic. We paid our debt directly to the vendor and it is now free and clear. I wonder how long they will attempt to call and harass us now?
