Complaint / Review
Aegis Receivables Management Inc. Formerly Global Vantedge Inc
Refused to acknowledge payment. Sold the paid account to another company as a bad debt

Since January I have been working with my brother-in-law and 5 creidt card companies/collection agencies in order to work out an agreement on paying off his debts.in May we received a letter from Aegis offering a settlement. Since my b-i-law did not have ready cash I made a partial payment using my checking account. I asked Aegis to send a notice as to when the final payment would be due. They never contacted us. We called them in July and were told he still owed the full amount because he never took advantage of their offer. They asked for an electronic transfer for the remainder of the inital offer and proof the initial payment had been made. We did the transfer (which came out of my b-i-laws' account 2 days later) and I sent a copy of the cancelled check to the fax number they gave us. They did not call back so we called them again and they said the photocopy of the check was not enough evidence. I asked for a supervisor who, when he came on the line, started to lecture me. I refused to be lectured and an argument ensued. When I asked for his name he refused. When I asked for a fax number he refused to do that. At that point I became very irate demanding a fax number and he hung up on me. I later sent a Certified letter to the San Rafael address. It was signed for by a Coy Kendall on 072208. The letter contained copys of previous correspondence, the cancelled check, my bank statement showing the check being paid (all other information was blacked out-God knows what they would do with it), and a chronology of the incident. We never heard back from them. However, on 100108 we received a letter and a phone call from Leading Edge Recovery Solutions, Chicago Illinois stating they had purchased a debt from Aegis for $466.88, the amount of the electronic transfer that was paid to Aegis on July 11. I am now in the process of sending all the information to Leading Edge and they say they will let us know what their decision is. We shall see.in the meantime, if anyone has a physical address (not a P.O. Box) for this company... Let me know... I'd like to pay them a visit!!!
