VeriCore

As of Jan 2016, we were contacted by Vericore to settle a debt with James River Equipment - Charlotte. Our company has been trying to work out charges with James River due to issues on a product we never picked up & also with charging warranty work on repairs. We have been in contact with James River to resolve these issues & during that time we apparently were turned over to Vericore. We have specifically told Vericore that we are working with James River (this is after we sent them an initial payment of $500 (to Vericore). We also told Vericore that we will not be making any payments until issues are resolved with James River. And to please stop calling us for money. They have stepped over the line & still call, demanding we pay them. As you can see from the letter attached that we have been working with James River since July of 2015. Issues are still pending. We do not want Vericore to harass us with phone calls.

Our receptionist was freaking out telling me someone was coming to take photos of our assets, when I got on the phone and asked the gentleman, who gave me such a bogus name he could not even spell it himself, who he was and who was sending him he said he was from MCS and was a private investigator hired by a Mr. Robert Klipp from VeriCore. I asked for his number and he told me to contact Mr. Klipp who had his "cell" number. He also said he was going to go to all our suppliers and vendors and Banks to do an "Asset & Liability" investigation. I thought the call was weird and immediately called Mr. Klipp who asked for my email to send the "contract" by the vendor giving him custody of the debt. Now, thinking back, I should have never given it to him... He gave me a figure of almost double what we owe this vendor. I said we had a payment plan and we had been sending $$$ every month. He said it obviously was not enough and now the account was in his hands and the Vendor would not speak to us. Then @ the evening hours I get my email on my Blackberry where he sends a bogus letter, no letterhead, and an attachment, a credit card authorization form! I sent him a formal request for all documents including his letter of engagement by the Vendor and the name of the "investigator" and his employer so we can file a complaint with the Federal Agencies regulating their business. I specified by USPS, nothing other than that would be accepted. Of course this never came. Instead, I got another email again in the evening as a copy of a letter to the Department of Revenue requesting specific information on our Corporation. Huhhh? You can go in the internet and find each State's Corporation filings at a minute's time. All he is doing is pretending you are an idiot and they are the smart ones... Sadly, a lot of people are not savvy on these matters and do get intimidated. I just Googled North Carolina and found their Corporation, a Foreign LLC formed in Louisiana a few years back that got a license to do business in NC in 2004... Then I looked for complaints and to my surprise I found over 10 sites like this one with handfuls of complaints. They are being investigated by the FTC and other Federal Agencies...

PLEASE FILE YOUR COMPLAINTS! PEOPLE LIKE THIS HAVE TO STOP, I KNOW I AM AN HONEST PERSON GOING THROUGH SOME TOUGH TIMES, BUT I HAVE NEVER STOPPED PAYING MY DEBTS!
