I am in my fifties. I have been hit hard in the past few years financially with health care issues. I owed a hospital bill that i was unable to pay at the time. The bill went to franklin services. I had already paid some on the bill when i got a call from a mr. Holt. He informed me that he knew i had recently went to work for new employer. He threatened me with calling my employer.
I had already made the huge mistake of giving them my bank account number on my first payment. I agreed to pay $500.00 at the end of the month. He had told me to call him four days before the end of the month if i could not make the payment. I was able to afford the $500.00 so i did not call him back. I had intended to call the following week and set up payments for the remaining amount.
When i checked my account he had taken the full amount. I was overdrawn by $600.00 with other outstanding checks that had not cleared. I called several times and got every run around that could be imagined. Needless to say i could hire an attorney and sue them, but the cost would be more than what they took.
I had been up front with these people and wanted to resolve the matter. They chose the most underhanded illegal way to handle this as possible. Franklin services are no different that your common everyday thief.By the way, the original name i was given, tim holt, could not be reached, but two or three of his brothers work there along with some aunts, uncles, and his grandmother. A family affair. I hope they all sleep well at night.
