Review of Metropolitan Credit Adjusters

Edit: After failing to validate the debt, produce the contract, or to provide proof that payment was taken as agreed and not in one lump sum plus late fees after a four month lapse, they have now put a fraudulent mark against my employee's credit. I'll reiterate what I say below, this company is slimy. Well guys, there are consequences for making false reports to Equifax and TransUnion and I look forward to ensuring that you experience them.

I am currently dealing with this company on behalf of a young employee who came to me today in a panic.

He was told by a debt collector that if he did not call back and pay his bill by 4 PM today his credit would be "wrecked." He was told that it was up to him to validate the debt with the merchant and that Met was not responsible to do so.

I called back with my employee and to say I'm stunned is an understatemetn. Nothing on the account is supposed to hit his credit until the 16th according to the girl I spoke to. Also according to her there was no backup on file despite my guy's having requested it on every occasion they called.

This is extortionate, and as collections agencies go MetCredit is sleazier than most it seems. I will certainly be recording all of my phone calls with them going forward and I suggest that others do the same to protect themselves.
