    While responding to a letter I received, I believe B&C rep ****** to conduct himself in a professional and ******* like manner. He was proficient in every way, during our phone interaction.

    I received a text message from a ***** ******** with Brennan and Clark. The message said in part, "Regrettably your organization's contractual obligation with my client remains unfulfilled. My client's hope was to not have to entertain the legal remedies available to them under the parameters of your agreement. However, it seems they have no alternatives at this juncture. Should you disagree with my assessment and would like to have some input prior to the matter escalating further? It's critical. You contact me back right away at xxxxxxxx." I am an 85 year old who has been retired for more than 25 years. I have no organization nor any debts. This is truly a scam and can be further confirmed by noting the last three sentences in the message. The punctuation and wording is not that of a US law firm.

    This fi sent me a letter that they were working with an insurance company Horizon BCBS that had overpaid me in 2022. They said there was a check number of the check that was deposited. When I established there was no record of that check deposited from to my bank, they refused to give me any record or invoice that I had ever been billed by Horizon in the first place. There is clearly a scam operation going on here.

    Good afternoon,

    It seems the complaint in question may have been filed prior to E ****** discussing the balance in question with ********************* of Brennan & Clark. 

    As the balance on the account has since been satisfied by E ******, it seems E ****** clarified the obligation was indeed due.

    I trust the above is a satisfactory response to the complaint. Should you require any additional information please do not hesitate in notifying Brennan & Clark.

     

    Regards,

    A partner in our Company was sent an email to their personal account from a ************************* of Brennan and Clark. The email was addressed to our **************** manager. A second email was sent a couple of weeks later on 5/13/24, again from a ************************* of Brennan and Clark and again to a personal email account, but addressed to our **************** manager. Both emails from ************************* included that Brennan and Clark was requested by ******** **** to 'intercede on their behalf to resolve the above cited matter'. The 'above cited matter' was that our Company allegedly owned ******** **** $186.82. On 5/15/24 our Company received a voicemail from an ********************* of Brennan and Clark claiming that our 'organization's contractural obligation with their client (Paychex) remained unfulfilled' and that their 'client's hope was to not have to entertain the legal remedies available to them under the parameters of our agreement'. We forwarded ***************************** second email to our representative at Paychex. Our representative emailed back: 1. This is not from ******** 2. This is a scam, 3. Our Company does not owe Paychex anything. We forwarded our Paychex representative's email to ************************* and asked that Brennan and Clark not contact our Company anymore. Despite this, our Company received another voicemail, this time from a *********************** of Brennan and Clark, on 5/29/24. The voicemail left was verbatim what had been left in the first voicemail by *********************. Stop wasting our time.

    Good afternoon,

    Please see the letter below from our Client, Paychex stating the information **************** had received from Paychex initially was an error.  I am unable to attach the letter from ******* to this complaint so have copied the body of the letter below.  If you would like me to email the document, please let me know. 

    Should you need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. 

    Thank you,

    Dear *****

    This communication is to confirm placement with Brennan & Clark of an unresolved debt owed to *********** by ************************* &Partners in the amount of $186.82 for services rendered. Its our understanding that a representative incorrectly advised this business on the validity of the debt. The balance remains owed and the open invoice we provided includes the necessary details to substantiate the debt.

    We apologize for any confusion regarding this matter and look forward to continuing our longstanding and valued partnership.

    If you have further questions, you can contact me at ******************** or by phone at ************.

    Absolute scammers pretending to be attorneys to collect on debt that doesn't exist. Sending threatening emails and calls. The worst of the worst.

    February 16, 2024Thank you for the opportunity to respond to Mr. ********* complaint. Brennan & Clark is a well-established, highly regarded, licensed Commercial collection agency that has been operating for the past 40 years. We are not scammers. We were reaching out to ******************** in an attempt to collect a debt from ************************ and Cooling on behalf of our Client, Paychex who ******************** had used for payroll purposes. Prior to Paychex placing the debt with my office, ******* had made several attempts to resolve the matter with ********************************** through telephone and email attempts to no avail. Their last email sent to ******** ***************** prior to placing the debt below is below. I have the contract that was signed in April 2023 as well as the payroll records but am unable to attach them to this response. I can email them to ******************** if he would like me to. We would like to resolve this matter. ******************** can call me directly or send me and email should he have any interest in doing so. Id be happy to assist. Thank you,*************************** ******************************************************************************************************* has referred your payroll account to me for collections. The gross balance, $6,510.49 stems from an NSF transaction for payroll dated July 24th, 2023, on your bank account ending **049. The current net balance to be resolved at this time is $6,093.80 after $416.69 was applied from your tax escrow account. I would very much like to resolve this matter amicably and as such I am willing to offer you a well- defined no interest payment plan with certain conditions: $1,093.80 due 9/15/2023 $1,000.00 due 9/22/2023 $1,000.00 due 9/29/2023 $1,000.00 due 10/6/2023 $1,000.00 due 10/13/2023 $1,000.00 due 10/20/2023 All payments must be made electronically, we accept ACH initiated by Sure Payroll, wire transfer, or a debit/creditcard. Mail in payments will not count toward the payment plan. What payment method works best for you? Its been six weeks since Sure Payroll funded your payroll.Its now time to pay Sure Payroll back for the money they paid your employees with. If we do not come to some sort of agreement by the C.O.B 9.15.23, the following may apply: Given the age and size of the debt, unless the down payment is made by the noted date, this account will be referred to our collection agency. They will be authorized to take all the steps necessary to protect Sure Payrolls interest as a creditor. Should it be necessary, you can expect your cost to increase by 40%. SurePayroll will not provide you with year-end reports or W2s for your employees. I await your response. *********************** ******************** Services P: ************ ****************************

    ***SCAM***I received a voicemail from the offices of Brennan & Clark on my business to call back. The message stated they are calling "on behalf of one of my clients to intercede on their behalf. In relation to what has become a time sensitive legal matter involving ************************ One that I'm certain you're going to want to address before it escalates any further. Give me a call back as soon as you receive this message to discuss the case in more detail." First, they got my business name wrong-which seemed odd to me. When I called back (out of curiosity) they also got the address of my business wrong but stated the "client" was The Hartford regarding my Workmans comp policy that expired in October. I do go through The Hartford for W.C. but my policy was renewed in October. She wanted me to tell her the correct name of my business and correct address. I refused and told her either Brennan & Clark got it wrong or The Hartford did and I would be contacting The Hartford. She said "well its past that point". I told her well I will be contacting them first. She didn't know what to say and said "well ok have a good day." I called The Hartford and they have no information about this for my business. My policy was fully renewed and I do not owe anything. Seems like a total and complete SCAM to me! Please check with your policy holder before giving them any money!!!!

    4/3/2023 To Whom It May ************* you for the opportunity to respond to this complaint. My office did attempt to reach out to *********************** on behalf of our client The Hartford using the information we had on file. At that time, we were unaware *********************** was doing business as Sylvan Learning Centers of Central ****** which may have led to some of the confusion. I assure you that Brennan & Clark is a well-established, reputable agency that has been in business for over 40 years and is not a scam. Since there seems to be a dispute as far as what is currently owed, we have closed our file and no further collection attempts will be made by Brennan & Clark. Should you need any additional information please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you,*************************** ************

    I think that they are thieves, I owed one amount to a company, ok I understand that, then I also understand that brennan and clark supposed to get a 35% fee for there services,. What I don't understand is why they called me threatening me to *** me for an amount that I don't even owe. Then they are continually pulling money from my account on different days and I have completely over paid, so my question is,why are they over charging people and how do I get my money back? And when I spoke to them about it, they rather be confrontational with me instead of telling the truth, like u just wanna over charge people

    November 7, 2022 To Whom It May ************* you for the opportunity to respond to Ms. *************** complaint. Our office had been in contact with ************** on behalf of our client, ************ in an attempt to collect a Commercial debt owed by QD Cleaning LLC. We first spoke with ************** on September 14, 2022. During that conversation, ************** agreed to set up a payment plan of $100.00 per week until the debt had been paid in full. Several payments were made successfully prior to the payment scheduled for late October being returned as non-sufficient funds (NSF). Once a payment comes back to our office as NSF, we will attempt a rerun of the that payment to see if it will clear as it should have based on the payment plan previously established. They payment then did clear. As of today, there are four remaining payments scheduled 11/9/22 $100.00, 11/16/22 $100.00, 11/23/22 $100.00 and 11/30/22 for $54.65. Once all payments clear, this debt will be considered paid in full and closed. Should you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.Thank you, *************************** Brennan & Clark ************ **********************************************************
