I received a charge to my bank account from malen and associates. When i called up to question the charges they told me that they have a judgement against me and that I owe them another $32.00. When I questioned who they were and what the judgement was for they told me that it was for the purchase of a gateway computer from 8 years ago. I would like to state for the record that eight years ago I was 16 and unable to apply for credit. I asked them if they could provide with documents supporting this claim that i have never heard of they told me that they dont have to provide me with anything and that if i dont pay them the $32.00 they will garnish my wages. I'm not sure what computer cost $132.00 even in 2000! They refuse to return my calls or provide me with any documentation supporting anything that they are alledging and to make matters even worse the gentleman ""Scott"" that i spoke was really nasty raising his voice and such, the receptionist is also rude, and the supervisor never answers her phone or returns any phone messages left for her. At this point I am inclined to agree with the rest of the review writers that Malen and Associates for lack of providing any legal documentation for the alledged judgement and charge to my bank account. Rough customer service and lack of regard for the feelings of the person(s) they are ripping off legally or otherwise. I wouldnt recommend them for anything not even so much as a traffic ticket or j-walking. They have not heard the last of me and they will refund my $100, it is not the money it is the principal surrounding the situation. They are not consumer friendly at all, they act asthough you have personally offended them for not accepting their word and wanting proof of whatever judements or documents they have to support the allegations that they pin on you the unsuspecting consumer. BEWARE!!! BEWARE!!!BEWARE!!!
Pros: If they would just disappear totally off the face of the planet or at the very least fire ""Scott""! If that is even his name.
Cons: Absolutely nothing they are horrible from the bottom to the top, not one helpful person in the whole place.
