Harris And Dial North Andover, Ma
Tried to pass checks through my account in other peoples names

Got a call from al at h&D. He wanted money on an account I owed (1050.) I offered to send $100.00. He told me that I had to send at least 500 or I had to be in court the next day.

He than let me speak with his supervisor Patrick who told me I should borrow the money and that they would not take less than the 500. (btw they also called my brother, father, and brotherin law telling them this was about a court case I was involved in) I told him I would try to borrow the money. I was able to borrow 400 from my parents and called patrick back he asked if I could get more from them.

When i told him no he told me to try other friends and relatives. I called him back later and said I could only send the 500. He told me if I did not give him a check over the phone he could not stop the court case. I gave him my bank info and authorized them to withdraw the 500. He told me keep trying. He called me several times (at least 4 times daily) over the next 3 days. I was unable to borrow more money and told him I could make a payment on the account the next month (which was only 5 days away) he said he would expect to hear from my by the 2nd of the month (payday).

The next day I got a letter in the mail from H&D telling me they were withdrawing the remaining amount due from my checking account on the 29th of the current month.
I called patrick back and said I dont have the money in the account and I did not authorize the withdrawal. He told me he had my account info and could do what ever they wanted.

After speaking with my bank they recommened I close my account and open a new one because they could keep trying to take money out.

I called Patrick and said I was not authorizing them to take the money out. He again said he could do what ever he wanted.

The next day the bank manager called to tell me that not only did H&D send the check through for what I owed but they also sent a check through my account and routing number with someone elses name on it for an different amount. Over the next week 2more checks were sent to my bank with my account info one with my name and 1with another persons name. I have filed a complaint with the massachusetts attorney generals office and have done internet research on H&D they have pulled this before and been fined by the state. Beware they will try to take more than you owe.
