FRAUDULENT BILL AND UNAUTHROIZED AD FROM GO YELLOW PAGES
Complaint
Leah Boyd
Country: United States
On March 10, 2010 I received a collection bill from A.C.A. Recovery in Ridgewood, NJ for $574.00 from goyellowpagesonline.com based out of North Miami Beach, FL. I called A.C.A. and spoke with Mr. Born and conveyed to him that I have never heard of this company nor have I ever ordered any online service from this company. He did not have a contract but said he had an invoice. I asked him to fax it to me and I received a very blurry fax that did not have my name or my company name anywhere on it. I began to research go yellow pages online and all I found was one complaint after the next from companies who had the identical amount of $574.00 charged to them on a collection notice sent from A.C.A Recovery. I spoke to Mr. Born again and he told me he would put my claim into dispute and go yellow pages would have to deal with it directly. This is nothing but a scam!!! I am going to report this to the BBB, the NJ Attorney General and the Florida Attorney General. I am also going to send go yellow pages a letter stating that I want a refraction of the bill with a zero balance sent to me. Beware of this company!
Comments
I called multiple times and complained on BBB. Called multiple time to the generalyellowpage.com and offered for 2 month of payment but he would not take it. He would continue to insist it was one month contract for $63.00 monthly per our phone conversation. I begged and offered to cancel multiple time but they would not. I got tired and told him hell with it. He told me he will have his lawyers come after me and send it to collection agency.
I did my research and called a lawyer friend. Verbal contracts are enforced since the guy had conversation recorded. I never signed to pay up front fee as well as interest charges. Also one thing to know that verbal contract are enforced with limit in amount. In the state of MD is 500. Over $500 contract you need written documents. Also verbal contract gets nulled if any of the parties changes their terms. He told me 63 monthly for one year that's more than 500 annually. Additionally, I got invoices with 24% interest charges which I never agreed on. Thus I am not paying anything to them. I felt compelled and offered to take care of the 2 month invoice but that didn't work.
Hope this helps.

I can't stress to all of you how important it is to get things in writing!!! Also if you talk to these jerks...never answer a question with a "Yes" or "No" b/c they record the conversation without you knowing and then create a doctored recording of you "agreeing to service". And they are tricky and will ask you every day questions like "Is it raining there?"
At no time was there any talk of checking a web site or following up with a cancellation after 3 days also there was never any talk of price.
I assumed this was a follow up on my previous advertisement and left it at that.
I received a invoice for $636.67 that I owed for their services. I tried to contacted them but could not to anyone directly. Only through emails was I able to contact them. I received a call from them and they had my recorded conversation. In the recorded conversation I never authorized any services and we never talk price. I told them I am not paying this invoice will be happy to see them in court.
I have tried to see what service they provided for me and I have yet to see anything on line.
her and asked what was her call for and she said so she could send an invoice. I said NO I didn't, nor never had I ever had a contract with them and I had NEVER authorized this charge and that I was the one
and only one that signs the checks and that I (we) do not intend to pay any such thing, she again asked
if I'd like to pay 298.00 by a check over the phone.....Really people find a real job and stop trying to
SCAM hard working people out of their hard earned money. Send me a bill and see what happens with that. I dare you.
