SquareTwo Financial Commercial Funding aka Collect America Commercial Services, Inc. and/or Julie Kaplan (former President/CEO) purportedly sold the company's list of clients to another collection agency, Coface.  The clients were sold off despite the fact that SquareTwo Financial still holds their former sales associates to a non-compete which prohibits theses former employees from contacting the people that they had relationships with for several years. 


 I don't know if this practice of selling the client list off is legal, but I know in my heart it is unethical especially since SquareTwo Financial never notified the clients or former employees that they had done so.  The only notice any of these clients ever received was a letter dated October 25th, 2010, that stated SquareTwo Financial Commercial Funding "has recently decided to change business processes that directly affect your accounts receivable management.  Effective December 1st, 2010, SquareTwo Financial Commercial Funding will no longer be accepting contingency debt placements and are solely focusing on purchasing commercial debt portfolios."

The letter goes on to instruct the clients receiving the letter to "Please feel free to call Jen Price, manager of Client Services, with your questions and concerns.  She can be reached directly at (303) 304-0912."  The irony in this last part is the fact that the number listed is a cell # for Jen Price, she is also Julie Kaplan's daughter and is now the Director of Client Services for Coface!!!  Never in all my years working for the company have I seen them list an employees direct cell phone number.  However, it all makes complete sense to me now.  SquareTwo Financial and Julie Kaplan are nothing but a bunch of white collar criminals!

Joel LeBlanc - Will the True Criminal Please Rise!

AUTHOR: JulieK - (United States of America)

POSTED: Sunday, April 10, 2011

I did not sell the client list to anyone as Joel LeBlanc claims. The non-compete which Joel LeBlanc refers to is a legal document, executed by Mr. LeBlanc. I fail to see the relevance except to indicate Joel LeBlancs complete sense of entitlement and total lack of professionalism.  
 
Mr. LeBlanc refers to his heart stating that selling a client list is unethical, yet Joel LeBlanc must believe that stealing one is the ethical route to take. He must also believe that slander, sexual harassment, adultery, intentional infliction of pain, endangerment of peoples lives, as well as their lively hood are the ethical routes to take you know ethically speaking in his heart, as mentioned in his complaint.
 
Lets get back to the non-compete. Has Joel LeBlanc the self-claimed King of Ethics admitted to violating his own non-compete? After all, he did quote a letter sent to SquareTwo clients months after his departure. Complete disregard for the rules is nothing new to Joel LeBlanc, as evidenced in his posting on Rip-off report, where he blatantly violated the rules when posting my daughters phone number on his bogus complaint.
 
Mr. LeBlanc continues his unethical business practices and is now attacking more innocent people from the Collection Industry, his latest two victims a recent widower and a two time cancer survivor. Ask yourself- who will be his next victim?  Help me stop this monster by writing to the Johnson County, Kansas District Attorneys Office and urge him to press criminal charges against Joel LeBlanc. Write to Derek Schmidt at general@ksag.org and reference the documentation already sent to Attorney Chris Brown from his office.
 
One last thing My name is Julie Kaplan, I am the Victim of an Internet Bully, and I stand behind my post!

#3 UPDATE Employee

This is the Rip Off report not the Cry Baby make up lies report

AUTHOR: Really? - (United States of America)

POSTED: Thursday, November 18, 2010

Absolutely ridiculous! I am currently an employee at Square Two, aka CACSI. I have worked with all of the people listed on this slanderous report. Lets attempt to set the record straight. Julie Kaplan is an awesome person that treated employees, co-workers, clients and even debtors with respect and integrity. Any person that actually knows Julie and her daughter knows that this is nothing but lies and total BS. I normally do not reply to reports like this but this one gets under my skin. The reason I am is because of my relationship with Julie and her Daughter. Here is the truth, Julie was and is still loved by her co-workers and employees. The reason for that love is because of the way she took care of us and made sure we were happy working for her. I understand business and competition in the market place. I do not understand why Joel Leblanc would go out of his way to post this report. It's called the Ripoff report, not the slander and make up lies cry baby report. I will not play into the lies or cry about having to deal with Joel's lack of attention detail or unethical business practices. Your report speaks for it's self. I would like to point out that any man or so called man that hits on other women while his wife is carrying his child can not be trusted. My wife is pregnant is not an excuse for infidelity. Yes we all heard the voice mail.

some people just dont learn

Joel first of all its amazing to me that you would call and " apoligize" for your horrible comments on your blog and delete them... only to do this again. Julie is one of the best CEO's I have ever seen and cared about everyone in the company INCLUDING YOU... as far as white collar criminals I hope someone sues you over this slander.. julie put her heart soul and own monies into the company to make it work... as far as giving up all of our commercial contingency clients that simply isnt true.. we are going to institute some changes but our primary clients and top clients are valued and not going anywhere. To resort to these tactics are the sign of a desperate person... a top sales rep and agency go after business touting their own excellence and dont have to continue to take shots at other companies.

I would caution anyone looking for a good agency to consider do you want a company that backstabs people and puts unthurths on line or an agency that holds high standards and strives to earn business on its own merits

#1 UPDATE Employee

Joel Leblanc and Atradius using libel to gain market share

AUTHOR: Annonymous - (USA)

POSTED: Wednesday, November 17, 2010

This report was filed by Atradius spokesperson and failed sales representative Joel D. Leblanc. Leblanc is a former employee of Square Two. He was forced to resign from Square Two due to lack of productivity. I work for Square Two and I know Mr. Leblanc quite well.


Now Leblanc works for Atradius, which is a competitor of Square Two. He also operates a couple of blogs, on which he copies and pastes other peoples' blog entries and takes credit as though he wrote them himself. Atradius and Joel Leblanc are using blogs and sites such as this one in an attempt to discredit Square Two and take business from them because he is too busy copy and pasting to actually do his job, which was probably the reason he could not produce results when employed with Square Two. 

Joel Leblanc's creepy obsession with his former employer and former CEO are rumored to be based on his deep love for his former employer. His wife probably does not know the extent of his infatuation, however she will unfortunately find out sooner or later. 

Clients of Atradius and the prolific copy/paster Joel Leblanc will soon find out what type of people they are dealing with. 

If you are in need of a commercial collection agency, ask yourself this: Why would I place my accounts with a company who is too busy publicly obsessing and libeling other companies and individuals to properly service my accounts? 

Atradius and Joel Leblanc have no idea what they are doing and are not to be trusted under any circumstances.
