Contact the Texas Attorney General.
The last time I checked it is illegal to go on-line and post made up lies about companies and individuals. This is defamation of character and interference of business. This campaign of on-line attacks against my firm, my colleagues, and myself is not going to be tolerated.
You claim you turned over the account 6 months ago, when it was actually turned over on 7/09/09. We received a check from the debtor on 7/23/09. The check did not verify on the first try. We had to run it a second time to get it to clear. It cleared on 8/3/09 . The placement form and contract explained that all funds collected would be remitted to the client the week of the 25th, the following month, minus our commission.
When I saw the first two complaints on-line I immediately called you then sent your check UPS. I sent it early. I even sent you a tracking number. All the posts you published about my firm is a situation that I'm afraid you cannot remedy. If you took the time to think, you wouldn't be in the position you are in. I assure you, I will use all the resources , time, and personnel necessary to see that you and your company will never be in the position to make this mistake again. You will soon be acquainted with my team of attorneys and I will do everything in my power to see that justice is served.
Good luck Mr McNicholas,

Most states require licensing of debt collectors, not only to regulate the manner of debt collection from debtors, but also to regulate the handling and prompt remitting of payments to their clients.
If a business has a dispute with a debt collector, contacting the appropriate regulating agency is a practical way to attempt to achieve a resolution to a dispute, particularly when you are no longer getting responses, and for amounts that may be insufficient to justify hiring an attorney and suing. Even if they will not respond to your direct attempts to contact them, they will generally respond to inquiries from state regulatories.
As the particular agency responsible for regulation of any industry or profession may vary from state to state, contacting the state Attorney General is a very direct way to find out which agency to contact.
The general nature of actions available to responsible regulatory agencies are common to many states. Should you be dealing with a regulated business or profession, particularly when they are avoiding or stone-walling you which can indicate they are having financial problems, a prompt regulatory complaint may be the most effective measure you can take to protect your interests or recover your assets before a marginal business goes under.
It is important for companies and professionals handling money for others to maintain accurate accounting for and clear communications with their clients to avoid misunderstandings.
This is not just an issue with debt collectors, but often with attorneys and various types of brokers as well, since they also may act as intermediaries handling their client's funds. In fact, mishandling or co-mingling of client funds is often near the top of the list of violations resulting in attorney sanctions enforced by state bar associations.
They did the same thing known as Chase Max.
Probably show up again soon.
