Affinity Global Reviews

So again I called back and the "Supervisor" answered. I asked for his name and the name of the company. I got the name of company but not his. He sent me an email showing I signed this paper (online) and said I had about 5 minutes to read it with him. I told him I couldn't because I was driving and he told me to pull over and do it! I had no time for this. Then he started threatening me with court action and putting it on my credit report and had the guts to ask me if I text and drive at the same time! He keep insisting that I open the email whether I pulled over or not. I hung up and will be reporting this to BBB.

I called and spoke with Robert who told me he could not give me any information and hung up on me. But yet they sent this letter to my house and my son was a minor before he was locked up, so why wouldn't they give me the information needed so I can pay his debt... Plus... I really need to know if someone is stealing my son's identification as well!

Well I called Citizens Bank and they told me my son doesn't owe any money. And that his account was at $0 before it was closed out. Well that's funny 'cause GLOBAL JUST TRIED TO COLLECT $2323.70... Which is a lot of money to try to steal from a 19 year old! BE VERY CAREFUL... You definitely don't want to give any money to this company. Contact the creditor directly to make sure the debt is accurate... And pay the money directly to the ones you owe to make sure the money is going to the right place.

So step forward one month. I saw that I had 2 withdrawals from our account that goes to a company with similar names. One of the companies called today and I told them it looked as if I have been making 2 payments a month for several years. After giving it a closer look, I discovered that one of the withdrawals is to a company called Global Credit & Collection Corp.

I called my bank and asked what info they had on that ACH and they gave me the phone number to their bank in Joliet, IL. I called them to see if they could give me any information they have on that company and they were only able to give me their phone number but their address was in Ontario, CN. I called the number I was given and finally reached an operator. She stuttered/stumbled as she answered the phone, asked what credit card or company I was calling about and when I told I only have an account number she took it, plugged it into her computer and said, "Oh, I don't have access to that account," and sent me on. Another woman answered the phone, I only gave her my name and she asked me to hold. I held. For more than 5 minutes and realized what they were doing so I hung up and called my bank and have stopped all further attempts to withdraw money from my account.

I googled them and found this information. We didn't have much money taken out of our account but I hate that I have given them any money at all. After the event that took place last month, I am trying to be less trusting (just because they have information about an account we might have had previously doesn't mean we still owe money) and not take other places at their word. I am attempting do more investigating and checking and printing out my credit report helped tremendously. Be careful of this company and others as well. There are wolves in sheep's clothing!

To make a long story short, my last payment to Global Credit System was March 2015. When I call Dodson Properties Management to get a letterhead that I was paid in full with them they informed me that they have not received any payment of any kind and it's past due. I spoke with the Executive Director and she confirmed no payments made.

We spoke for a few to understand what was going on and how I made my payments, the harassing phone calls, and much more. She has a copy of the paid in full letter with the cashier check made out to Global Credit System, she advised me she will get to the bottom of this by the end of the week, cause apparently this has happen before. To everyone and anyone that gets a call from this company DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY MONEY WHATSOEVER, give it to whomever you owe it to. I've never been so angry or frustrated cause I feel like I just lost money and want to take this to court so no one else feels my pain.

He called everyday for the next 4 days, instead of waiting for me to call. I spoke with my wife and we worked out that we could send 100.00 a month. When I called today to set up a payment plan he wanted access to my bank account on a monthly basis. I told him no and that I would send a check each month. He said he wanted 250.00 a month, 100.00 a month and he wouldn't even contact LVNV to tell them he was getting money. I will send the 100.00 and I told him I didn't want any more phone calls harassing me. He just kept badgering me saying he wanted 250.00. After reading all of these other people's issues I think that something should be done about this company. The way he talks to people and demands money is ridiculous.

I'm not sure if he was trying to intimidate me because I am a female or if he was just obnoxious and thought his crap didn't stink. I deal with the public on a daily basis and I would never speak to someone in this manner. They are supposed to be in the business to help people but not this man. He did not want to listen to what I had to say and he wouldn't let me talk. I was so upset afterwards. I would like to speak to a supervisor because I never want to deal with this man again. I have no problem making an arrangement with a civilized human being. I just can't believe how I was treated.
