Complaint What Happened XXXX and XXXX, a collection agency for XXXX, a XXXX XXXX NY newspaper called regarding a {$20.00} overdue bill I have. The caller, XXXX XXXX ( extension XXXX at XXXX ) was extremely hostile, abusive and rude. I told him my mother just passed away a few weeks ago, and he got even nastier. There is absolutely no reason at all for this company to behave like this. I do not have a credit card, so I am having my friend take care of this issue

Complaint What Happened Last week I received a collections notice from Biehl and Biehl regarding an incorrect charge. I responded with a letter stating that I was disputing the charge and included a full explanation of events. The next day XXXX XXXX from B & B called my office and she asked an employee of mine for the company email, which he provided, and then she asked to speak to someone about billing. That would normally be our bookkeeper but since I happened to be here I took the call. She informed me that I needed to pay {$400.00} today or " there would be consequences '' and I would end up paying even more. I informed her that I was disputing the charge and she continued to argue with me and tell me that even though the amount was never communicated to me I was still responsible for it. Almost immediately after that conversation she sent an email to the general mailbox for my company telling me my dispute is not valid. She attached a doctored version of the bill of lading that had additional information on it that I had never seen and was not on my copy. She also doubled down on her threat, writing that if I did not pay " obviously there will be consequences ''. When my employee read this and responded that it was inappropriate to send a collections notice to a general mailbox that was not my email, she replied, " This appropriate- I was given this email for XXXX per an employee. It seems Inappropriate that you would email me when I was told this is her email. '' I then responded to her email and told her that it was not my email address and also that her " evidence '' was something I had never seen and was different from the signed copy in my possession. She replied " This is a commercial debt. The FDCPA does not apply : it is funny because You are responding from the same email. '' I don't see what can possibly be considered " funny '' about any of this, or how a collections agency representative can communicate in this way. She still has not provided any proof that I owe this debt, but she has continued repeatedly calling both my job and my cell phone. She mentions a written quote but I had never received anything at all in writing from this company until they started sending me invoices and when I tried to contact them to find out what the invoices were about I was unable to get a hold of anyone. I never agreed to anything and I never signed anything. When an employee of mine informed her that I wasn't in the office she kept grilling him on when I would be there and wouldn't let him hang up. She then called my cell phone and left a message stating that I needed to take the offered settlement to " avoid an even more costly problem. ''

Complaint What Happened I had lost my job and was unable to pay XXXX - I did contact them but they turned me over to Biehl and Biehl Collection Agency - other agencies I have dealt with were under- standing and said they would make note of my account. The first time I called Biehl and Biehl they were nasty as told me why did I order XXXX if I didn't intend to pay - I have dealt with XXXX over 60 years and this is the first time I had a problem - I called them as I said and they were nasty but told them I could not pay what I did have and hopefully one day get a job which at XXXX is not easy and pay it eventually - XXXX would not accept small payments and wanted half one month and half the next month which I couldn't do. I got another letter from them informing me I ignored their request for payment and want it immediately - I tried calling again but you get put on hold forever so I sent them a letter. Even going on the web their reputation is not the best and there are other complaints about them being nasty - as I said other Collectors are nice and say they will make note of it on my account.
