Regarding Complaint ID of [redacted] , [redacted] who claim our entity called her at work to attempt to collect on a cancelled order that had been placed with our firm to see if we could reach a mediated settlement prior to the PDS Magazine Company exploring other venuesIt appears that Ms [redacted] has issues with this company concerning her understanding of what she agreed or did not agree toI can assure both the Revdex.com and Ms [redacted] that per her Desired Settlement: for [redacted] , Davis and Peoples to stop contacting her "as I believe the initial service was offered to me was done under pretenses." Will be honored by MD&P since we have no way of confirming Ms [redacted] assertions, however, having mediated literally thousands of these mediated settlements over the years, it is standard operating procedure for these Paid During Service Magazine Companies to have a contract/agreement coupled with a permission granted tape recorded verification used to bolster their position the event of a possible litigious outcomeIn any event it appears obvious that Ms**, based on her complaint feels strongly that she was misrepresented, so we will remove ourselves from that argument and close this fileSincerely, [redacted]

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me I just wanted to make sure this contact was real.I will contact the company and start making the $payment Thank you so much You can't trust anyone anymore Regards, [redacted] ***

Regarding your complaint ID of ***, ***M*** who claims that our representative *** contacted regarding her debt with the MagazineService Corporation who she owed a balance of $968.24.We were retained by the Magazine Service Incto attempta mediated settlement on their behalf
Ms*** neveridentified herself or our firm as a law firm, or as a lawyer.We are a paid During Service Mediation entity thatrepresented these PDS Magazine Industry companies whoafter attempting collection of their debt through their ownin house collection efforts, and then their debt has beenplaced with at least two collection agencies, in this casethe *** *** *** Virginia Beach, VAandthe *** * *** Collection Agency, Atlanta GAboth,who by the way deemed Ms*** account asnon-collectibleOur entity then made contact with Ms.*** and mediated a settlement of $477.36, less than halfof the amount owed on Ms*** contract/agreement withthe Magazine ServiceThis negotiation and agreementwas mediated on a tape recorded conversation (availableon request) with Ms*** and the amount and vehicle topay was agreed to and Ms*** then emailed to Ms.*** to sign off onThis DocuSign form sent to her asto verify the mediated amount agreed to between Ms.*** and Ms***., not a "legal document" that shefelt "that this document isn't a real document all ofinfo look fake to meIf I sign this and sending docauthorizing this payment to a P.OBox is fishy."I am sending a copy of the paperwork from theMagazine Service with notes from the *** ***Service with their notes regarding this accountI believethis establishes that there is a debt owed to MS, Inctheattempts from the IRS collection agency to reach anddiscuss her debt in and to no availIWe are no longer in possession of Ms*** DebitCard info since she chose to renege on her mediatedsettlement agreement with Ms*** and we have nointention of offering her another mediated settlement inthe futureMs*** contention that "they would settlefor a payment plan now and save her the time andpaperwork that would that would be sent to sue me! Wedo not sue people hereOur purview is to attempt amediated settlement between the debtor and the creditor.The fact that we may not be able to accomplish this andsend the debt back to the creditor then affords them theoption of exploring other more stringent means includinglitigation should the creditor wish to, that's their call notours, therefore we will address her Desired Settlement: inthis respect: We are not a "real law firm" which we neveridentified ourselves as; and I can assure Ms*** thatMiller, Davis & Peoples will stop calling her, however Icannot "stop this charge" nor can I supply "moredocumentation and real proof of the charges and magazine Information" since only the MagService, thecreditor has the wherewithal to honor that request.Sincerely, *** ***

April 27, 2015Regarding Complaint ID ***, *** *** who claims our representative *** *** left her a voice mail "regarding a civil suit being filed against me inher office." The exact wording was "regarding a potential civil action"Ms*** further states "I returned her call and
she advised that this was regarding a magazine subscription from years agoI do not recall the yearI requested that she send me something in writing as I do not recall receiving any magazines." Our rep*** *** did in fact state to Ms*** that she would mark this as a refusal to pay and that Ms*** had been sent many requests in writing from the company requesting paymentMs*** then advised our repthat she had not received anything and for her to again send her something in writingEvidently our repMs*** then contacted Ms*** again inquiring as to a specific person Ms*** had used as a reference when initially ordering these magazinesMs*** then requested something in writing again to which MsMitchel replied "good luck." Our firm handles Paid During Service Magazine industry companies like the *** *** Incwho after many attempts to collect the money owed on their accounts though their own collection efforts, and have turned those accounts over to at least two collection agencies,in this case the *** *** *** Agency and the last agency *** *** Service who both have deemed her debt as non-collectible, will sometimes retain our entity to possibly mediate and settle this type of account rather than explore more stringent means including possible litigation to at least either settle the debt and if that is not successful they at least can post the debt off for possible tax considerationsIn respect to Ms***'s concerns, she has every right to a copy of the order she involved herself with and since we are no longer attempting a mediated outcome regardingthis debt, I will return this account to the last collection agency, the *** *** Service who according to our paperwork (copy enclosed) sent letters toMs*** on 09/29/and again on 01/06/to determine how the *** *** wishes to proceedI will confront our repMs***'s reply of ''good luck" issued with sarcasm, however, we are not privy to the documents themselves, nor the tape recorded verification the *** *** is in possession of since once the contract/agreement has been allocated to a collection agency, it's my understanding that the account is no longer serviced by the creditor until all collection and mediation efforts are exhausted and the debt is returned to the creditor for final determination/actionIn response to Ms*** Desired Settlement: I cancomply with Ms*** request to send her copy of this letter, along with my response as stated above to the IRS, and stop all contact with her, however, having the original company who the debt belongs to contact her with the information regarding her account will have to be funneled through the I.R.Scollection agency who may have some type of exclusive rights of compensation with the *** *** IncSincerely,*** ***see attached

Regarding complant ID of ***, *** D.*** tho claims "I returned a call to Miller, Davis;and Peoples; they had contacted me Friday, May 8th 2015regarding a "pending civil lawsuit" of unspecifiedparticularsThe actual message left stated "a pendingcivil matter." Our representative ***
*** who leftthe message for Mr*** was then contacted from themessage left with Mr*** and had a problem findinghis account/case informationAfter leaving him on holdshe finally located his account with help from Mr.*** and informed him that the *** ***Corporation the company he entered into thiscontract/agreement with had advised us of their desired toeither come to a mediated settlement or they wouldexplore more stringent conclusions including litigation iffor no other reason than to seek a possible judgment fortax purposes pending a write off of their lossAt no timewas the wording; if I agreed to pay a cancellation feeIMMEDIATELY, I would not be held liable for themagazinesMs*** did offer Mr*** amediated settlement amount of $to settle the$1,owed to the MSI and was assured by Ms.*** that this would allow him to receive a legalrelease on the entire debt owed to the *** ***accountMr*** did not recall the debt and requested Ms*** to send him substantiation of thedebt which Ms*** replied "she had already done, sent to two different addresses", to which Mr***denied receivingMs*** then told Mr***that "the information would be sent out, but since youalready had copies the collection would then be sentback to the company and he would have to work it outwith them." The only talk of "court" at this point wasalerting Mr*** of the costs associated with going tocourt instead of working out the mediated offer of$now or arranging a payment plan.I am sending the paperwork supplied to us from thelast collection agency, Interstate Recovery Service to atleast establish the paper trail from MSI to IRS, andpreviously his account was with the *** * ***,Collection Agency, by the way both of these collectionagencies deemed his account as "non-collectible."Our entity is retained by Paid During ***
*** *** as a last resort to attempt amediated settlement before the *** *** ***chooses other alternatives including possible litigation;this was the intention of our call to Mr***I feelthat our rep*** *** should have attempted toeither fax or scan to Mr***'s email to verify hisreceipt of the paperwork/substantiation he requestedinstead of assuming Mr*** was ducking herrequest to mediate the debtI also feel that we cancomply with Mr*** Desired Settlement: thusly, Ihave included a copy of the debtHis concerns regarding2) Proof that I had acknowledged the debt after 2007, 3)an itemized explanation of all charges would need to beaddressed by the MSI directly, however, the concern ofhow this debt became thousands of dollars is based on thefact that debt of this length would incur interest, latefees, and attorney fees should the MSI prevail if litigated,would drive up the costs to well over $2,As Ms.*** informed Mr*** at the conclusion of theirconversation, she listed his concerns, her conclusion thatMr*** was not interested in reaching a mediatedsettlement and returned his account/case to themAllcollection activity on the part of Miller, Davis, andPeoples was ceased as of the final phone call occurring onMay 8, 2015.I also want Mr*** to be aware that our entitywill not contact him again even after his review of thematerial, even if MSI were to attempt mediation of thisaccount/case in the future.Sincerely,*** ***
