Aqua Finance, Inc. william francis whealen jr. miller & steeno aqua finance is a company made up of incompete people that dont care who they rip off . i bought a water filter system too. what a scam ? saint louis, Missouri

I was not surprised when I read on here about this attorney, William Francis Whealen Jr.  My husband has had two strokes and has short-term memory loss sometimes.  He is 78, and it is a disgrace what this lawyer has in amount that my husband owes, talking about greed and pushing the buttons on taking from people.

I know about collection agenies and the people who they use as lawyers.  I have seen hard-working people pay on a bill and two thirds of it go the collection agency and only one third of it go on the bill.  I worked in a place where my desk was right near a collection agency part, and they often do not use their real names, they call employers (which they are not supposed to do) and they use the ploy of "verifying employment" as a means of harrassing the person on the job, then they put the person on robo call and call every little bit (which they are not supposed to do) and they call on weekends and after hours (which they are not supposed to do).  They also call neighbors of the person and leave word that the person does not pay his/her bills and is a "deadbeat." 

They call the person and insult them by calling them names and threatening them with losing their home, their paychecks, and are rude.  Then if the amount is substantial, they will call say to the person who is given the number that the account is not with them, and they will deny the account is with them, every time the person calls and asks to speak to the person who was supposed to speak to the person who owes the bill.  When the person cannot reach the collection agency, the case goes to court and and the lawyers gets his big fee, the court costs and the collection agency gets its big bonus.

In the meantime, the person has no connect as to whom ripped them off.

I am not saying this is what happened with Whealen, but I have seen firsthand this is how collection agencies work.  They are one bunch of mean, cold-hearted people.

Where I fault Wealen is garnishing the wages of a 78-year-old man in such a cruel and greedy manner.  His name is on the court document as the one who requested it.

I am glad the other person put this on here.  Does anyone else have anything to add about these people who do this?

Thanks.
