Brady Katz & White, a Pembroke Florida collection agency, solicited our company for past due debts. Information on a past due account was given but no agreement was ever entered in to by any party. BKW called back some weeks later and stated that the account was located and the responsible party said thanks for the free goods. Our company was told that a settlement could be reached for a lesser dollar value or send over $1500 and the account of the referred could be seized with full asset recovery. Funds were wired to BKW for the purpose of full recovery. Several weeks after receiving the wire transfer BKW called back and stated that the account was now willing to settle for the lesser dollar. "Didn't we just send you money for full recovery??" I said, "Yeah but they won't go for it" he said. I then stated that I needed to review the situation with office personel before going forward. Next, the past due account calls and states that he was contacted by our council (BKW) and has transfered the lesser dollar amount to the escrow account. Past due was advised that we had entered into an agreement with BKW and that they were our representative. So, BKW made false representation, solicited funds on our behalf without authorization and then attempted to renegociate the lesser dollar to an even lesser dollar to be released to us. But first, a condition of releasing funds is that our company must provide written confirmation on letter head that we will take no action against BKW in this matter. Our company has reffered the matter to the Attorney Generals of both states, FLA & CA. Certainly BKA has engaged in felonious conduct here and is likely their standard practice.
