Howell & Associates

Above says it all. They collected money for the company I work for and never ended up paying us the money they collected. Go figure! I never thought I would have to hire a collection agency to collect against a collection agency!

Does anyone have another phone number besides the 1-800-916-0542 number? I have been trying to reach them for days with no luck.

My husband and I had a disputed claim to Service Master which Howell and Associates pursued. We sent them a check for the full amount owed to Service Master. They cashed the check and proceded to electronically process the same check which was also remitted to them. Whe...n confronted with the action, they credited the electronic funds back. That's great, but wait, two month later they resent the electronic charge through again. We have been two months in trying to get this refunded. We have called repeatedly and spoken to Rem James who appeared at first to be very helpful and said a check would be in the mail. No check recieved and when we've called again, we've been referred to Greg Wells who is never in his office. What a scam. We have filed a complaint with the Florida Attorney General, but have not heard from him. Any suggestions of where to go next? Read More

I to have received the same type of threats over the phone. Mr. Hill wants me to give up my bank account info over the phone because of a so call dept for $675. I have not received any thing in the mail from this company for any dept. When I told him I would like there ...address, fax, and the info on the dept he rudely a long with other words said no you don't need all that. So I told him he didn't need my info then. I went home and started to google this company and found this which has been a big help. I have made complaints on this company to the FCC,FTC,our states attorney general,I have called the company who's name they have used for the dept (Dish Network) to let them know what kind of company they do business with, and I am currently talking to a lawyer on the matter. Please, if anyone else has these issues do the same. They have violated the Fair Dept Collect Act by talking to others about your dept, and by threats of law suits and leans on your property, and inappropriate lan Read More

when speaking with Mr. Hill he was completely unprofessional and rude. He used repeated threats and foul language over the phone. He continuously harassed me through voicemail and at my place of business. I ensured him that the matter would be resolved in the next day a...nd that I would mail him a cashier's check in certified mail. He continued to belittle me and threaten "legal action" because I "would not cooperate" despite asking for their mailing address. I hope no one else has to deal with Mr. Hill and his unprofessional staff. Read More

I have never dealt with such a rude unprofessional person in my life such as Mr. Hill with Howell & Associates. I was told his supervisor would never speak with someone like me what the hell does that me? Mr. Hill said I had a balance on the account and I tried to exp...lain to him that my records showed that I was paid in full and gave him the dates the payments were drafted from my account and he told me that was IRRELEVANT because there records showed the payment wasn't received. I told him it could have been misapplied but it came out of my account. He told me I had to pay today or they were going to get a lawsuit against me. I asked for a copy of my record and all payments applied so I could compare to my records and Mr. Hill told me NO! I owed it and that was it. I told him I'm not sending any more money if I had already paid, Mr. HIll did not want to listen to what I had to say,, he hung up on me, twice. poor customer service, I hope all of Howell employees are not as rude.
