    To whom it may concern;I recently received a collection notice regarding a *** small pack charge. I have never used *** to mail or ship a package. Furthermore, I do not own a business as to where I would have a *** account. The collections was also sent to me even though the city is incorrect. There isnt even a tracking number attached to where I could call *** to dispute charges. I am disputing these charges as this is not my account or debt. Please cease sending collection letters to my home for a debt that is not mine or most likely scam .Sincerely *. ******

    In response to Ms. ******** complaint, it appears that *** made a clerical error in the billing process and billed the wrong company.  This was identified when we had requested supporting documentation.  We have issued full credit and the account is closed.  We are a non-reporting collection agency and do not disseminate any trade information to any third parties. This account will have no impact on the debtor's credit history nor their future relations with ***. Let me know if I may be of any additional assistance.  Yours truly, ******* J Biehl, President

    We had a billing problem with the ************* On January 21, 2025, we had a telephone conversation with them where they confirmed that we had in fact overpaid, but the amounts were credited to the wrong account. They told us the amounts would be credited to the correct account number. On that same day they turned our account over to ********************** for collection. Biehl & Biehl sent us a collection notice by US Mail that we received on January 28th. We called Biehl & Biehl the same day and left a message in their general voicemail box at 3:28 PM.On January 29th at 2:48 PM we called back and spoke with ********* (sp?). She told us that we had to submit our dispute in writing. We sent them via US Registered mail, return receipt copies of the Biehl & Biehl demand notice, a summary of our attempts to contact them, copies of Proof of Payment from our bank showing payments to the ************ on November 24th and December 11, 2024. Our package as described above was delivered to Biehl & Biehl was received by and signed for by *. ******** on February 3, 2025.We received no call back or acknowledgement from Biehl & Biehl. On February 12, 2025, at 2:40 PM, we called their office and left another message. We did not receive a call back.On February 13, 2025, we received a call back at 9:59 AM but were not available to take the phone call. We called them back at 10:06 AM when we spoke with ***** *******. We explained the history. He told us that he would find the package we sent them, discuss it with his manager and then contact the ************. We requested written confirmation from them and told ***** ******* that we expected to see the written confirmation by close of business on Wednesday February 19, 2025.We have not received any further communications from Biehl & Biehl on the matter.

    In response to the debtor's inquiry, we had advised the subscriber that the account had been closed as of February 21st.   there has been no additional collection activity, nor do we report any credit information to any credit bureaus.  Our client, ************* has not provided clarity on credits to be issued. We should be hearing from them shortly as they are working remotely.

    I have been contacted multiple times by this company to pay for a charge that is not mine to pay. They are attempting to collect payment for a shipment via T-Force Freight that was initiated and arranged for by a customer of mine on October 23rd, 2023. My place of business was simply the pickup address. As indicated in the documentation they themselves provided, this was a prepaid shipment, and even shows payment confirmation. The shipment was delivered, indicating that there was no additional payment required. I have requested that the company stop contacting me multiple times, via multiple avenues, and they continue to contact me to pay the debt.

    Business Response

    Date: 02/18/2025

    We have received the bill of lading from the debtor indicating a pre-paid shipment.  We are in the process in forwarding the information to our client, T-Force for review. 

    In the meantime, we are closing our file ceasing any further contact with Flux Customs. 

    We are a non-reporting collection agency and will be inquiring with our client to issue credit on this open item.

    I continue to receive notices from Biehl and Biehl regarding a payment for services/product that i never used or purchased. Something called *** small pack with an account balance of $75.62 We have never used nor purchased this *** Small Pack In searching the internet, I found numerous complaints about this debt collector and *** small pack, where they try to collect small amounts for regarding a made up debt. I responded to Biehl and Biehl explaining I never used *** Small pack, didn't hear back until receiving another notice for debt collection. I am responding again, but I believe this a scam where they try to bully you into paying a small amount for nonexistent purchases

    Complaint: 22663167

    I am rejecting this response because: 
    I am writing about a complaint I made against the ************, who involved a debt collection agency Biehl and Biehl to elicit money from me concerning an online subscription to their paper. 

    I called this afternoon to clear this matter up as they have some record of my starting a subscription. I learned that back in May of 24 I had opened (apparently) an account. That account did not have an auto-pay set up and evidently went into collections. They claim to have sent me "notices" of payment due. I don't recall getting any notices either in the mail or by email. In fact, I've searched my email (*****************************************************************************************************************************************) and could not find any request or notices of payment due. 

    At any rate, I've paid the owed amount in full, which includes additional money for (what I'm assuming) is a late payment fee. I am furious that this has happened as I haven't accessed any online content from the paper nor have I received any notice of payment due until the collection agency's letter arrived at my address. 

    Thank you for your attention, and I would request that either the collection agency or the ************ make an effort to adjust my credit score appropriately.

    I am not the one who owes the money to TForce, Best Buy, nor Biehl & Biehl **** Best Buy owes the money to ****** under their return policy. The original Bill of Lading was issued by Best Buy's return's department customer service and the original two page *** was set up in such a way that, due to items being returned under the return policy. The "shipper" IS Best Buy and the *** reflects this as PREPAID by the shipper. When *** was scanned it then gave proper destination and information to be delivered. I also have a copy of document from TForce showing Best Buy was the recipient and cosigned for their returned items. Someone has altered the original legal documents, sent to me from Best Buy, to reflect me as having this debt despite multiple attempts to show them the original legal documents and supporting documents. I dispute this debt as it is not lawfully mine. The original documents have been illegally altered to push the agenda to get me to pay a debt that is not mine when I have the documentation. I have tried multiple times to have a conversation with Biehl & Biehl. They are continuously disrespectful and ignore the documents I have sent them. I will retain legal representation if this is not resolved legally and fairly.

    I received a call in 2023 from the company claiming my business owed money to TForce Freight from a shipment in 2021. We provided payment confirmations showing we don't owe debt. The confusion is on TForce freight's part and is a result of it's 2021 sale form *** to ***. The payment was mad to *** and not carried into TForce's system. In addition the documents provided by Biehl and Biehl supports that face that the shipment was paid for. I was contacted by ****** Freight in 2022 and they provided me a payment number and I was told the matter had been rectified. A/P Check No ************** In 2023 I was contacted by ****** ***** who said "This is exactly what we needed to close our file. No need to dispute, I updated this matter as PPP (Paid Prior to Placement) based on the proof of payment you provided." I was again contacted in April of 2024 about the same matter and forwarded all the receipts again to ****** ******. I am still receiving calls from a *** named **** ******, who is extremely rude and condensing. He did not have his facts straight and said the shipment was in 2022 when It was in 2021. They have no idea what they are even trying to collect. He is saying I need to pay again. This company needs to stop calling me and mark my file as closed per proof of payment provided. I have included multiple receipts and emails treads providing this has been paid.

    Business Response

    Date: 10/09/2024

    In response to the debtor's complaint, the issue at hand is her payment was made to UPS Freight.  And according to TForce the payment was never reimbursed from UPS Freight.  We have been advised by our client TForce, that under these circumstances, the party that paid UPS needs to request a refund.  Which then in turn disburse the monies owed to TForce.  In our most recent conversation, the debtor claims it was our problem and that we should request the refund. We have no legal right to request a refund from a 3rd party company.  The resolution rests with the debtor to request the refund from UPS so they in turn can pay the rightful owner of the receivable, TForce Freight.  The debtor is correct it was paid prior to placement, but due to the sale, the funds were never transferred.  We are closing the account as disputed with no impact on the debtor's credit. Yours truly, William J Biehl President.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    In 2021 when the shipment was sent I paid the party who shipped my items. The sale of UPS has nothing to do with me or my company. 

    UPS is now TForce freight therefore the debt has been paid. 

    This is not my problem. Stop calling me and mark it as paid. 

    Sincerely,

    Stephanie Washburn

    Business Response

    Date: 10/11/2024

    In response to the debtor's reply, her statement that UPS is now TForce is completely inaccurate.  They are two separate companies.  In fact, the shipment was delivered by UPS in the transition of the sale of the company and their system generated a bill.   As we have explained tot eh debtor, the funds were never transferred and that she needs to request a refund in order to pay TForce who is the rightful owner of the receivable.  Her responses has been, "It's not my problem, it is yours".  Unfortunately, legally, we are unable to request UPS to refund the monies to either the debtor or TForce.  That request must be made by the payee.  It is a simple process that shouldn't be any issue to resolve and clear the billing. We have closed our account as uncollectible. Yours truly, William J Biehl President.
