This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Employees as well as the consumers are yelled at, called names and threaten, this is not only done in private but right there on the collection floor. Managers as well as supervisors are encouraged to make sexual advances to other employees. . . These employees more likely than not aren't part of the management team. They do not have a ethic code of conduct. Most all companies have rules regarding dating and / or having sexual relationship with someone that is not at the same level in the company. Sentry though is quite different they promote the act of sleeping with and / or date someone that you are the superior to. Their justification or shall we say excuse is this is where you spend the most of your time. Long time manager ryan hydorn has quite a history of having sex with these pretty young ladies and i do mean young tht he is the manager of. One would think that he would as well as the company have the common sense to not promote this or at least require the two not to be within the same department or under a different manager. Mangers as well as supervisors have quite a history of sleeping with married persons and some of these people actually have their spouses working there also. Jason hover big man on campus can be quite intimidating, (The little man syndrome) , he holds a level of management of one of the highest, right below the owners and he too partakes in this acts of strong - arm and harrassment. His current wife was once an employee at sentry credit, she was not only an employee but an engaged one at that, mr hover acts as if he is above moral and ethic standards. All of the male owners and managent have obtain their significant others (Wives, girlfriend, or bedbuddies) at sentry and at the time the female was beneath them in position with the company. The only manager that hasnt is andre duran, but then he has crossed over to human resources, megan gray who everyone in the company knows the hidden joke, thats not so hidden. . . Andre has many girlfriends and megan with her major insecurities (Being quite over - weight, more on the homely side and unfortunately not a great personality either) but andre uses this as his control over her too. They have became the talk of the company people feeling sorry for megan because of andre's using her for quote "the things that she pays for and buys for him. If she didnt do these things he has made it clear that he wouldnt be dating, sleeping and in other words "using her. Its hard for a woman these days who is smart, pretty and a hardworker who wants to achieve and be sucessful when there are companies, owners, management and men of this substandard moral and ethic behavior. All of these statements can be verified. It is a very well known not hidden fact. Its is almost shown like something they are proud of. There have been so many woman messed with there only a few become a wife and that is probably even more sad. Ryan, for whatever caveman reason has made it his personal goal to see how many he can "bed" in his career at sentry. Why do and how can the management approve, accept and promote this totally illegal activity. It is not only uncomfortable for the women directly involved but for the other employess both male and female that have to be subjected to this. Isnt this behavior immoral not to mention illegal.

What is annoying about this complaint board is that there is no validity to what is posted, and explains clearly why the people that are posting all these negative things are now standing in the unemployment line. If people went to work to do their jobs, and not try to make friends or "fit in" I guess there would not be any hurt feelings when you fail to. Advice to those that read this, please realize that people have to post on this ridiculous website because there is no truth to what these people are posting. Those that have been or ever will be successful understand that with success comes haters and with haters comes bitterness with bitterness you will become unemployed and with that comes boredom and nothing better to do than whine to whoever will listen and those that feed into that are enablers.

What is so funny to me, it's all good when you people are working there, but the minute you get fired, it's all bad...Get a life, better yet get a job, or find something better to do with your time then thinking of negative things to say. Sentry paid your bills right, probably even provided you with enough money for, let's say your "extra" curricular activities as well? Get over it people, if you were to put all your energy into lets say a "resume", you would have a great job by now...I sit and laugh at you all, pathetic, not to mention can't spell either. For the one talking about a "learning disability", please learn how to spell, IT'S spelled D-I-S-H-O-N-E-S-T int "deshonest'...wow you really are slow, and we didn't have to see you ti figure that one out, we just read what you wrote. Now please go do something better with your time, here's a clue...go back to school...

This number has called me repeatedly for the last couple of weeks telling me i owe them money for a pud bill from a year ago that i already paid. my roommate at the time has a record of all the checks written and cashed for the specific bill. the woman that i talked to was extremely short and demanding and told me that i had to have everything paid by 8 pm that night. i told her i would talk to my roommate and call her back. any time i have called back the number she gave, it goes straight to voicemail and it is hours before she returns my call. i told her i would have my roommate call with verification of all payments but my roommates calls all go ignored and unanswered and the woman is becoming more and more demanding that i pay the bill by a specific time and date.

These people suck and the woman that I talked to was such a [censored]! I am not sure what to do. I paid my account in FULL in 2009 through the original creditor. Turns out I had accumilated $28 in interest from Sentry Credit. I did not know this until 2011 when I pulled my credit report. I WOULD NOT knowingly leave $28 on my credit report. That is stupid! So I paid it immediately. Now 4 months later they are still reporting "Key Derogetory" on my credit report. The [censored] lady that I talked to told me that "that's the way it is. I just paid it in 2011 and since I waited so long to pay them that now I have to wait just as long for them to stop reporting it as bad!" I said "um ok..." and didn't get passed that before she hung up on me. I really wish there was a legit Manager that I could pass a complaint too! I already paid them off so they no longer should need to be RUDE!

DaBillCollecta - Sentry Credit, Inc. - Jesse Roy Hinds - lol! They do give you a good paying job and a stable work environment. But you my friend have failed both to grow as a person, and, well... grow as a person. lol. Both literally and figuratively.

You sleep with and live with your second cousin, Jennifer - and yes, everyone knows she's your second cousin.
You my friend take the term "keep it in the family" way to literally.

Your mom is a crack [censored] (that is literal) and you are the male equivalent.

I just realized that I am breaking the golden rule. I'm done now. I apologize. I am however going to push "submit" just below.. right about.. now

I freaking loved working for Sentry Credit! There are tons of chicks, office games, and employees get together on a regular occasion to drink. If you show up to work and follow the training it shouldn't take longer than six months to figure out how to be a decent collector. However I will admit that a lot of the chicks there have too many kids. Also all of the white chicks date black guys and all of the black guys date white chicks...which is weird.

I worked for yhem back in 1999 I was 3 weeks away from my 90 days and I had never had my own insurance and stuff before because I was young and I was so excited. I had been seeing this guys for about a year and I got pregnant, so I told the owners because at that time they were always around. The next day after I told them I had a doctors appointment when I got home I noticed my mom on the phone. she said "you need to tell her this" So I got on the phone and they fired me. There was nothing that I could do because I was still in my 90 day probation. I got in contact with a lawyer and that it what he said. Well the first 2 months that I worked there I was #5 in the office the first month and the second month I was #2. So I know it was not about performance it was the fact that I was pregnant. I f'ing surprised that they have made it this far they are losers. If anyone checks this that used to work there I'm trying to find a guy that worked there and he was best friends with the owners I think his name was trey or something like that.

After reading this back and forth bantering as well as what appears to be reported and witnessed flagrant drug abuse as well as selling and purchasing in or on the property I can only respond that I am disgusted and that these people should in no way have access to public personal in formation and addresses. I hope the Feds place an agent in the business under cover to monitor and record the ongoing problems outlined above.. I am really shocked and disgusted.. With a BBB rating of A + too.. Oh brother!

Sentry Credit [protected] as of today 1/16/2013 keeps calling my number requesting to speak to a person who is not at my home. I have requested that they not call anymore and update their information. My phone number is only 2 weeks new and I have received over 20 calls from them. I get calls from 7am to 8pm at night. When I am not home they never leave any messages. According to CA LAW this collection agency is violating some laws. First of, the 7am hour of calling should not be happening as that hour is prohibited by the law. Second, they provided information on someone to me such as full name, date of birth, and social security number which is violation of federal laws. They can not give out that information to anyone unless the person they are speaking to says they are that person and they verify the info. Seems like this Sentry Credit thinks they can do anything they want. Right now I will be doing a dispute with State of Ca Attorney General's office and contact the Federal Commision Office as well. These people messed with the wrong person...FYI...I'm a Prosecutor for Orange County.

I don't know how anyone can be "proud" to be a collection agent harassing people day in and day out. This thread is hilarious though and only confirms what most consumers already know and believe about collection agents. TOTAL ###! Here's hoping that you find yourself on the other end of collections, and get a dose of your own medicine one day. Anything can happen to anyone at anytime to send them in a financial tailspin. For you folks, it's all about the money and only the money - compassion my A@@! Freaking losers that can't get a job doing anything else. Again, thank you for validating what every consumer already thinks about legalized thuggery known as collections and their ### agents.

I worked their when they 1st opened above an RV sales place. Never had any problems and always got paid. I left to greener pastures and am Now in PDX Oregon doing the same work. Reading all of the above really makes me wonder why Debtors are shifting blame and focus? The negative ripple effect of your choices/behaviors allowed you to be placed in collections. If you did what you PROMISED to do in the 1st place (ie pay your bill) you would not be the perceived victim. You are the victimizer not the victim. you failed to fulfill your PROMISE and commitment, Now you are in collections. Regarding the blind individual that was not hired...Well that was wrong... Sex drugs and rock and roll in the office? DRAMA! WTF ? Men are men regardless of where they work. Remember Pres Clinton? Build a bridge get over it... Again I have not worked her in 15+ years If they where as bad as everyone says the state would have closed them down as well. XOXOXO Ron London

This is the most unprofessional company that I have ever dealt with. They call my home and cell phone questioning me about my personal information. I have received calls from [protected] and [protected] and [protected] and [protected] and [protected] and [protected]. Give me a break! I have no clue what debt they are talking about and when I tell them not to call again they break the law and call with a different number. When I question them they say that it is a matter which they are unable to give information. The lady that called yesterday was a real tool who said that she would take me out of their system then hung up and immediately called my cell phone. Talk about harassment this company needs to learn how to work and deal with honest people if they wish to collect any debt that is owed. I don't think that threatening or accusing is going to win my heart. As far as I'm concerned any creditor that I have dealt with has been paid in full and if I owed anyone any amount I should have been billed by now. My advice is to report this company to all authorities you can because they have every one's personal information and who knows what they are doing with it. I know I'm going to. If a company is legitimate they send a bill to your home and not collect actual money over the phone. Don't give this company any bank or credit card information because they have shown me how professional they are not.

Online porn led to his wife leaving his nasty ###, now he claims to be an author but in realiry tells young girls he is a 20 yr old Private in the Army.
Cant afford to feed himself without going to the food bank in Stanwood.

I have never had a problem with Sentry. They HAVE called me, but only because I forgot to pay them on the date i said i would. That's MY fault, not theirs. I pay them, and I don't get bothered until next month, unless I pay them per our payment arrangement. On a side note - IF you get a call about a bill you say you paid, then take it up with the place you got the bill FROM. It's not the bill collectors fault, UNLESS you paid the bill collector and they didn't credit you. . I ALWAYS get a notification that a bill is going into collections.
