They are dishonest. Do NOT work with this company. No customer service either

http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre18.shtm This is the site for the FEDERAL law that these companies are supposed to be following. Unfortunately none of them do.

I got jumped by 2 ladies at once...the first lady was so rude she would not even let me speak, just kept yelling over me when I tried talking to her. Then she had her boss get on the phone without even telling me she was listening in on the conversation or getting on the phone! The second lady who claimed to be the boss was the same way and I was trying to explain our financial situation and set up payment arrangements I could afford and she said I had until 5pm tomorrow to pay the FULL balance( which is just totally unrealistic for us)! And she said the bank I owe the money to would not accept that and that I was just making every excuse in the book, how rude and unprofessional is that for someone to call you a liar when they don't know you or your situation and your trying to set up payment arrangements! So I called the bank and they told me they don't even deal with them anymore after the debt is turned over! Also, she told me she was going to call the bank to tell them that I refused to pay...so I am assuming she is 16 and in high-school if she feels the need to tattle and lie? I informed the bank of this also and they told me the lady who she would speak to isn't even there this week...so again another lie! I do have to say though I feel better about directly talking to the bank I owe the money to since this is small town and I know most of them and getting the facts! This company is rude, unprofessional and untrustworthy!

Oh these people are crazy! they were so rude to my mother when she said I wasn't here asking all kinds of questions...bordering on harrassment! She continued to speak to my mother rudely and would give no information. That is completely disrespectful on every level and makes this company look extremely bad. You get bad customer service from one person and that will ruin the reputation of the company. It was for some bill that she said I owed from 10 years ago and demanded I pay it. I have no idea where she came up with this information. THIS IS SERIOUSLY A SCAM...DO NOT PAY THESE PEOPLE! NOT COLLECTION AGENCY..FRAUD COMPANY!

They keep calling! I am not the person they are looking for! I have told them numerous times! I was able to goggle this persons name and could find them! Why can't they! INCOMPATAINT!

pay your bills.

Have you contacted the County Attorney where you live to see what recourse you have? If in fact this company committed fraud, them that is a criminal offense and maybe the County Attorney would like to take the case and prosecute this company. Just and idea. I wouldn't take that laying down that is for sure.

Yeah there's a lot of companies out there that do that...I, myself fell for onw of those scams. if you ever heard of Vector Marketing Corp. then you probably also heard that they are scam artists...I got the job on careerbuilder as well and I went through about 12 hours of training, and then they made me pay 150 dollars to sell their product. which it was 17.25 every appointment you made plus 10% comission witch would keep going up the more you sold. but in the end it's not worth it at all what so ever. you have to make all these appointments with people you dont know and then drive YOUR car with YOUR gas money to thier houses and read this stupid book and sell all thier overpriced product. although the product was decent the boss would call you EVERYDAY (literally) to check up on you to see what you had planned for the day. kind of an invasion of privacy and, plain and simple, it just gets annoying.

The company is not a scam. The $150-200 that is charged barely covers the cost of training materials/business cards/sales kit, etc. Compare that to the $10-100K+ in start-up costs for a franchise operation and it's quite the bargain.

arthur intel: 1099 employees on straight commission don't "report" income until April 15th on their tax returns -- if they are smart they pay quarterly estimated State and Federal taxes based on what they have earned in the previous quarter so they don't owe any underpayment penalties at the end of the year. If you haven't earned any commissions, you are still entitled to unemployment -- duh.

I have taken the trainning and they did not charge me anything, as I understand it it is up to the Regional Sales Manger to charge or not too.

I will see if this will work out, but after working for the same company for 24 years I got laid-off, of couse the CEO got his 8mm bonus

They are a total scam. It cost me $150 for a "sales kit". Don't fall for it. The people at the Schaumburg IL. location are crooks. They need to be investigated. They recommend people on unemployment to not report their 1099 income so that they can continue to collect unemployment compensation. They need to be investigated.

This company tried contacting me several times over and yet and still, I did not bother to respond. Thanks for saving me time, energy, heartache and yes, money as an affirmation why I did not respond.

Thanks for letting me know this about them, as they just contacted me about an outside sales position with their company. I run my own business, and I'll be damned if I am putting my hard earned money into working at someone else's businesss.

Thanks for saving me time and money

Hi in the beginning of 2015 I was contacted by Trans-world for a student debt, for what ever reason my all my student debts were not consolidated as previously requested and so two of them that I thought I was paying toward went into collections. I made an arrangement as soon as I found out. I was to have money debited from my account for 9 months and then it was going to be transferred to the company I originally had the student debt with so I could consolidate everything together. Trans-world debited my account as agreed and then stopped as agreed however they never reported back to the originally company. So today I got a notice saying all my federal refund has been applied to the debt that I had been paying toward because they never received any type of payment or notification.

The sales manager Kenneth Middleton will tell you anything to get your business. The product does not work. Save your time and money. Its a scam!

Someone just called me and claimed to be from TransWorld Systems and wanted me to verify my name and SS #. This is illegal as I do not have any contracts with Transworld Systems and have not contracted with anyone permission to give out private personal information. I did record the call and on Monday I am filing suit in Federal Court against TransWorld Systems and whoever their client is for Identity theft and libel/slander because I dont owe anyone any money and they refused to tell me who they were supposedly representing. I did have fun guessing the callers birthdate and told her I refused to answer questions with someone I had no contract with. She continued to tell me that she was calling to help me and I LAUGHED MY ### OFF and told her I didn't want her help and I wanted them to remove any information about me from their systems and I am suing them for that and proof that it was removed. And if they think I am kidding about the suit and the 10's or 100's of thousands it will cost them in legal fees answering they need only look up my suits in federal courts under my name and they will find that I am actually very good at suing and costing these companies literally thousands in legal fees and often a settlement to me!

I was contacted for an interview for "District Sales Manager" for this company. As always I checked their website which is very vague & not to the point at all. If it is a collection agency why are they looking for a sales manager. To me it appears they are misleading people in every facet of their business. All of the responses I've found are negative. They are NOT accredited with BBB, there are government judgments (that they settled) there are ongoing investigations with the FBI & BBB. They settle debts for pennies on the dollar then take 50%. The email indicated the salary ranges from 40-85k depending on what you put intonit. If that means i need to be rude, threatening or in anyway unprofessional NO THANK YOU! I have standards & morals. I understand people need to pay their bills but there is a rite & wrong way of going about it. I choose the rite way. I'm contemplating calling this guy & questioning him about all this.

This woman works at Transworld. What kind of people do they hire over there? JENNIFER DEVENNE was recently arrested. Not someone i want to do business with, plus she was rude over the phone, no etiquette or professionalism. Appeared as if she were on something. Just an odd call all teh way around which made me research her name and i found this among other things.

On 11/5/09 I recieved a call from a private number. I answered and waited for the phone to bring a humans' voice. It was a very rude man asking me about a bill. I am presently unemployed. He was very ignorant to my situation. All I requested was there a place online I could pay my bill or just send me a notice. He was very rude and I hung up on him. I'm not a child and he had no right addressing me in the manner he did. I am very upset.I would never recommend this company to anyone.

Transworld has office close to me. TheIr Office is full on Mouthbreathers, White trash, hard to believe Trailer trash, could run such a business, after reading this, I understand, the inbreeding got them this far. But it's the end of gene pool.

I received a harrassing phone call from Lance Hering from TransWorld Systems and he had the wrong number. When I told him he still continued to harrass my husband and myself. I am going to put a formal complaint into the Better Business Bureau regarding phone harrassment. I understand the job of collections, but to harrass random people is NOT how he should do his job!

Oh these people are crazy! they were so rude to my mother when she said I wasn't here asking all kinds of questions...bordering on harrassment!
