Myers Internet Tries to Rip Me Off for Another Person's Debt San Jose California

I'm writing this as a warning to anyone who uses Myers Internet service and especially real estate brokerage managers and owners of mortgage brokerage businesses.

On Friday, May 11, as I was winding down for a 2 day weekend I opened some mail to find a letter from some company called Credit Mediators in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania addressed to my company to tell me that my account with Myers Internet had been placed for collection and that immediate payment of $150 within 48 hours would avoid further action.

Since I have never had an account with Myers Internet, I called this agency to see what it was about. Talking to some phone jockey at the company, he told me an agent (not the company) had an unpaid bill with Myers. I pointed out that an agent is an independent contractor and that the company is not responsible for an agent's contracted obligations. He insisted I pay, so after I called him a bottom feeder' and worse than pond scum he decided to hang up.

Then I called Myers and talked to Victor. He acknowledged it was not my bill and I gave him 3 hours to get this corrected. I provided him with a fax number and email address that he could send me proof it was out of our company's name.

Neither was done. The other part of my promise(demand) was that if it was not completed I would post this warning on every realtor and mortgage website to which I was a registered member.

Since you are reading this post, they clearly did not follow through.

If you own a real estate office or a mortgage brokerage business, be sure to check to be sure that your agents do not list you as owner of their personal websites. If they use Myers, you can be assured that Myers will try to collect from you, even though you have no contractual arrangements with Myers. And their collector, Credit Mediators Inc. will try to collect from you with a letter, hoping you just pay without following up.

I have lived 62 years of life without EVER having an account in collection. Myers and their low life collection agency have placed my business's ability to obtain new credit in jeopardy and caused me undue stress and lost time. I will be looking at litigation with my attorney on Monday morning.
