This collection agency pretends to be a lawfirm, but the only want your money. The have big named clients like Exempla. If any Exempla hospital or establishment really looks into how this agency treats people, they would never use them. When MJ Hecker is trying to get a client they tell their employees that there is a client coming in today and to be on the phones smiling and dialing, and PLEASE DO NOT BE MEAN ON THE PHONE.You can only be mean once they are gone.I was employed there and they wanted me to have the patients ask for money from friends and relatives if they didnt have the money. The agency uses a system called Acxiom that can locate any person in the USA. This system is a great system to locate people but it gives information out about if you own your home and how much you paid, your ssn#, relatives and possible phone numbers, it even can tell someone you bank accounts and what type of car you drive. So this is how they find you. I am sure many collection agencies use this system, so this is how you are found. If the patient you are trying to reach is deceased, MJ Hecker will ask the relative that answers the phone, to pay the debt. This agency has no morals AT ALL. Jacqueline Morales is one of the agencies "supervisors" but she is as flaky as they come with her fat belly and alcoholic breathe. And Devon Valverde the other "supervisor" is her drinking buddy, but he does his tabacco chewing on the job so he doest have to drink and chew. Steve Blair is the collections Manager, but is screwing Jessica the bookkeeper, who is now pregnanat, but I guess she fell for his flirting, because the whole time I was employed there Steve could help himself to look at my body.I you are 16 and need a job for a quick 2weeks, this is the place to be.But if you are serious and need a job that will last for a long time, dont fall for this job.
They dont do a drug screening either "weed smokers" so this might be the job for you too.EXEMPLA...PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE PATIENTS THAT YOU SEND OVER TO THIS AGENCY.CALL THE PATIENS UP AND ASK THEM HOW THEY WERE TREATED.MJ HECKER AND ASSOCIATES (THE ASSOCIATES ARE THE DRUNKS THEY HAVE CALLING PATIENTS) ALWAYS
TOLD THEIR EMPLOYEES THAT THERE BIGGEST CLIENT IS EXEMPLA, THEY DONT WONT TO LOSE THAT BUISNESS, BUT EXEMPLA, Pretend to call in as a patient, and say that you received a call from them, give them a name that is common and once they pull a name up, act as if you are that patient. Say that you have no money and cant pay right now.Watch how they start to treat you and what their suggestions are on how you should get the money.If they say it will go to legal, that just means on the other side of the wall of cubicles.They have accounts that are so old that they will never get paid, but they keep harrassing Exempla patients.So as a former employee, I seen how patients were being harrassed and didnt agree with it at all.Another thing before I go, half of the staff smokes weeds on breaks, so Exempla, come in and do a drug screen on the WHOLE ENTIRE MJ HECKER STAFF, before you decide to bring them more buisness.
My name is Robert H. The collection agency NCO contacted me one day and asked for a payment by way of check by phone or credit card. I told them I was trying to pay the doctor bill at the same time and only had so much in my checking account to last till payday. I was a corrections officer and had a stroke at the age of 34. Was not able to keep my job in corrections but found another job and continued to work these past 3 yrs with no missed days of work. But it took a little while to get caught up on bills. The day NCO called I only had $34 in my checking and offered to give $17 till payday. The lady on phone told me that wasnt enough and I needed to pay at least 10% of $870 that day. A few weeks later I sent $67 payment in mail and my check went through my bank couple days later. That was all I could send that payday because I put my child support first. A few days later I get a call from a lady at MJ Hecker. She wanted to collect the rest of the balance for NCO. I was upset at first because NCO gave me no notice of this and I answered their calls or returned them. I told her the same thing that I couldnt pay any that day. I agreed to the next week that I would pay half over phone and pay the second half 2 wks later as I had just paid off two other bills. I was also offered a settlement amount. After I payed the second payment I asked the lady if I could get something to show I paid them and she said I would receive a letter in mail in about two weeks. A month went by and I called the lady back and asked for my letter. She said that I was sent a letter and I probaly discarded as just junk mail and another one would be sent they following day. ( If you dont believe me Mr. Hecker then check your quality assurance recordings. ) That call was over two months ago. On 10/22/2010 I receive a call from a group called NCC. They are now trying to collect the amount left over from NCO saying no settlement amount was reached and I owe them the balance. I told them I would call MJ Hecker and get the letter and send them showing the payment. NCC ageed and said they would remove the collection. I have since called MJ Hecher and Associates several times and all I get is mailboxes and no call backs. If I owed them money and was willing to make a payment I bet I would have already called back. If anyone wants to say Im pathetic for not paying my bills immediately then I say sometimes people get in bad spots when they are hit with an illnes. I have never received food stamps ot assistance. I have had an honest job since age 15 and have payed my own way through life. I was advised a couple a couple years ago to file for bankruptcy but what would guidence would that be for my son. Iwent to almost losing a home and car to paying off my car a year early and being deft free other than my home and Im ahead in payments on that.
