Healthy Online Services Complaint - Know Your Rights - Purity 12??????

Purity 12?????? - Complaint
Review by FlaLaw on 2010-04-10
I received a letter from Healthy Online Services claiming that I owed 124.95 for "Purity 12"? The letter provided was received from an address located in Scottsdale Az. and claimed that I participated in a no obligation 14 day free trail of "Purity 12" (Whatever That is). The letter further stated that failure to contact within 10 days would be met with negative reporting to the credit reporting agencies, which could negatively affect my credit. (BTW Federal Law allows a person 30 days to dispute a debt and I have never ordered anything with a claim of FREE - NO OBLIGATION. (SCAM ALERT)

I explained to DAMON (who claimed to be a manager) that I never participated in a free trail offer from the Internet, and that I had no idea what "Purity 12" was. I asked him what HEALTHY ONLINE SERVICES was and was told that it is a collection agency to recover debt. I asked him if HEALTHY ONLINE SERVICES had a license to do business as a collection agency. He wouldn't answer that question.

I advised him that I was an attorney and that under the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION ACT, I was requesting proof beyond a reasonable doubt (which does not include my personal information) that their claim was legit. He said because they had my name, phone number, email address and mailing address they felt the claim was legit. (WRONG). I requested their email address so a dispute letter could follow our conversation and was told that they "do not have one, but that they are only a branch of a business that attempts to collect unpaid debt." (THE SCAM AND THE CROOKS BECOME EVEN MORE TRANSPARENT).

I then advised Damon that if any of my personal information was provided to anyone ( i.e. collection agency) he and HEALTHY ONLINE SERVICES would become a permanent project of mine in court and that whatever he or the company had gained from committing their SCAM would soon be awarded to me. (HINT: They have already become my project)

After hanging up....I researched HEALTHY ONLINE SERVICES and learned of the many scams they have attempted on a number of innocent individuals. I wonder how many they actually get away with.

BOTTOM LINE: Don't pay them one red cent. You have rights, up to and including suing them for numerous violations of the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION ACT.

And DAMON, if you or any of the other associates of HEALTHY ONLINE SERVICES monitors this site. Your troubles with me have just begun. I vow to each of you that I will see you thrown in jail for computer fraud (to start) or to take all that you have acquired from scamming the innocent. I will ensure that the pain you have caused all is returned 10 fold. That is a promise. NEXT STOP 60 Minutes, who just recently did a story on collection agencies and their illegal practices - wonder what will think about this?

Good on ya, FlaLaw. Let us know how the case proceeds. I had a fly-by-night collection agency send a couple of goons to my apartment when I was 19 at midnight on an illegal debt they had purchased the paper on. I borrowed a .38 snubby with one cylinder load of blanks and waited. They came back, talking tough, and I said I had something for them. I started popping rounds, and all I saw was elbows and something else as they beat feet away. They got me into court, and the judge ruled they could not collect, as the contract was illegal on it's face, as I was 19 when it was signed, and thus could not contract.

Star, I am confused. In all the years I have been in the collection industry---18 has been the standard age to be legally held to a signed contract. I vaguely recall one state being 21---someplace down south, can't recall which one though.

In fact, we once won in court against a 17 year old who tried to get out of paying delinquent rent and eviction fees. the judge ruled shelter a necessity and said the contract was binding. We emptied his bank account several times over the next six months satisfy the liability.
