With zero explanation this company sent me a threatening email with the subject line "NOTICE OF LITIGATION" --- there was no succinct explanation in the email. There were two Adobe PDF documents attached. I did not open either of those, fearing they were "phishing" attempts. When I phoned the company, they gave no substantive information. When I explained that there should be NO LIEN against me (my company is a solopreneurship, and the person they were attempting to harass was not connected) they told me to ignore their less-than-communicative email. The woman I spoke to had poor grammar, and no real explanation to offer. This is unacceptable business practice, and the company should be reported. So I am reporting them.Business Response

We appreciate the opportunity to respond to this complaint; however, we firmly reject the complainant's characterization of our communication practices and intentions.
The email in question was a compliant notification regarding a pending commercial matter. The attached documents, standard Adobe PDF files, were formal communications directly related to a *** lien associated with a defaulted contract between the complainant and our client, Everest Business Funding. These materials are neither threatening nor misleading; they were sent as part of routine correspondence concerning a commercial loan.
To clarify the underlying facts: On June 6, 2023, the complainant entered into a commercial funding agreement with ************************ for $17,000.00, with a contractually agreed repayment total of $25,330.00. As of this response, only $5,395.67 has been repaid, with the last payment received on July 27, 2023. This is a commercial obligation, not a personal one, and is enforceable under UCC Article 9. The referenced lien was not filed by our office; it was executed at the time the loan was originated.
While we are committed to conducting ourselves with professionalism, we cannot be held accountable for dissatisfaction arising from the consequences of a delinquent financial obligation. This complaint does not raise a legitimate dispute; rather, it appears to be an attempt to undermine lawful enforcement actions related to a valid and verified debt. The Better Business Bureaus own guidelines allow for dismissal of complaints that are frivolous or not submitted in good faith. Based on the facts and documentation provided, we respectfully request that this complaint be closed without further action.
Should the complainant wish to resolve the matter amicably, we are open to a settlement discussion. Otherwise, we will continue to pursue all remedies available to our client under the terms of the agreement and applicable provisions of *** Article 9.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: I have NEVER entered into any funding arrangement with ANYONE (including with Everest Business Funding for $17,000.00). ************************ is a solopreneurship. I have never been funded by ANYONE. This is a case of mistaken identity, and your representative included me in a dispute of which I have NO KNOWLEDGE and for which I have NO RESPONSIBILITY. Get your facts straight; if you are going to go after a collections account, better ensure that you have the right person when you contact someone. This feels highly incompetent to me.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
In reviewing your complaint, I have listened to the call recordings, reviewed the email correspondence, and attempted to replicate the process the agent used to access your information as a third party, but was unable to do so. Based on these findings, it does appear that something is amiss.
Please be assured that there will be no further contact from our company regarding this issue. We sincerely appreciate your feedback and will use this incident to improve our training and ensure similar issues do not occur in the future.
We appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this process.Initial Complaint

I am filing a formal complaint against a company affiliated with the Vanguard Group for engaging in unethical, predatory, and harassing debt collection practices related to a merchant cash *********** of their representatives, a woman named *********, has repeatedly harassed me on a daily basis via phone calls, text messages, and threatening emails. Despite my multiple requests for her to stop calling and harassing me, she has continued to contact me incessantly, causing me severe anxiety and emotional distress.I had a remaining balance of $7,000 on a merchant cash advance. When my bank account was closed, I informed them immediately and told them I would provide updated banking information within three days. Instead of honoring the original terms or working with me professionally, they transferred my account to a company called the Vanguard Group, which then attempted to extort a payment of $16,000 more than double the original balance.When I refused to pay an inflated and unjust amount, I was told I could either pay:$12,000 in installments, or $9,000 as a one-time payment.This is both unreasonable and exploitative, especially in todays economy. I reiterated that I am absolutely willing to pay the original $7,000 balance I owe but not a cent more.Since then, ********* has sent me ongoing threatening messages stating that the company will:Freeze my bank account Freeze my Cash App Freeze my Apple Pay Seize my vehicles despite no legal judgment or due process.These aggressive and potentially illegal tactics have created significant emotional trauma and disrupted my ability to operate both personally and professionally. I have responded promptly to all communication, and I have documentation to prove this.This companys behavior is nothing short of predatory and exploitative, and I am urging your office to conduct a full investigation. Their actions could and should warrant legal consequences or business shutdown.Business Response

Dear *****,
We are writing in response to your recent formal complaint. Please be assured that we take all concerns seriously and have conducted a thorough internal review of the matter.
A manager from our team contacted you on June 5, 2025, in an effort to resolve this matter amicably. We understand that you may be experiencing financial hardship, and we are currently awaiting the bank statements and hardship documentation that we previously requested. Once received, we will promptly submit this information to our client on your behalf for their review and consideration. Please note that any modifications, payment plans, or settlement offers must be approved by the client.
To clarify, our company has been retained to collect the remaining balance and enforce a Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) lien related to a merchant cash advance agreement you executed on March 21, 2024. Under that agreement, you agreed to repay a total of $22,500.00.To date, $8,638.19 has been paid, leaving an outstanding principal balance of $13,861.81. In addition, the following default-related fees, as outlined in the original contract, apply:
Default Fee: $2,500.00
NSF Fee: $150.00
UCC Fee: $250.00This brings the total amount due to $16,716.81. These charges and our collection efforts are fully supported by the terms of the agreement and are lawful under the applicable *** lien.
While we acknowledge your dissatisfaction, any concerns regarding the structure or terms of the agreement, or the amounts owed, should be directed to *************************** original party to the contract. Our company has acted strictly within the legal and contractual obligations established in that agreement.
We remain open to continued communication and strongly encourage you to provide the requested documentation so that we may advocate on your behalf with our client.
Additionally, we would like to address the filing of your complaint with the Better Business Bureau. The BBB has established procedures to identify and dismiss complaints that are frivolous or lack a legitimate basis for dispute resolution. Based on the facts and documentation, your complaint does not reflect a genuine contractual dispute, but rather appears to be an attempt to avoid a valid financial obligation. As this is a verified commercial debt, we respectfully request that the BBB dismiss this matter accordingly.Initial Complaint

Dear Ms. ****************** hope this message finds you well. I want to first thank you for taking the time to share your concerns and personal circumstances with us regarding your account with Vader Servicing. We understand that this has been a difficult period for you, and we truly sympathize with the challenges youve described.
Please know that we have taken the time to carefully review your case. As you may recall, one of our Senior Managers has previously reached out to you in an effort to discuss your situation and find a way forward. We regret that we have not yet been able to connect at a mutually convenient time.
We understand that much of your frustration stems from the terms of the original loan and the collection efforts associated with it. While our office is acting on behalf of the client and does not control the original loan terms, we remain committed to working with you in good faith to explore a more manageable resolution.
We also acknowledge the payments you have already made, and we appreciate your efforts toward resolving the debt despite your difficult circumstances. That said, your most recent scheduled payment was missed, and its important that we speak soon to discuss your options. If we are unable to do so in a timely manner, there is a risk that the client may move forward with forcing closure on your account in our office and transferring it to another agency.
Please be assured that we are not here to cause additional stress or hardship. Our goal is to find a workable solution that aligns with your current financial situation. While any revised terms must be approved by the client, we are more than willing to help present your case and advocate on your behalf.

I have honestly never been treated so poorly by a company ever.I've been hung up on multiple times the amount of stress that I carry every day wondering if they're gonna freeze my bank accounts which they have threatened to do multiple times is honestly unbearable at this point I don't really know where to turn. I have told the multiple times that once I received my taxes that I would pay the settlement balance.I've already given them a thousand dollars of my own money which is tight to begin with. I have tried to setup a monthly payment arrangement for $500 a month until the settlement balance is paid and im told do go borrow money from friends and family. I can't even sleep at night knowing the keep telling me they'll freeze my accounts. I still have not received my tax refund and now I don't know what to do. Every conversation is basically just them trying to get me to make another good faith payment. I'm out of options at this point until my ta es are received and would like them to agree to setup a monthly settlement.Business Response

Mr. *********,
We wanted to provide an update on the steps we've taken regarding your settlement offer and to clarify the current status of your account.
After reviewing your situation, weve moved your account to a protective status. This means you will not receive further communication from anyone besides the manager who spoke with you today. Our goal is to ensure that the temporary payment plan weve agreed upon remains in place until your tax refund is received, at which point we expect the remainder of the settlement balance to be paid.
We appreciate your cooperation in working with us, and were glad weve been able to reach an arrangement that aligns with your current circumstances. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the manager directly, as they will be your point of contact moving forward.

On February 19, 2025, I received an email for the first time regarding an alleged escalation, a *** lien, and several unprofessional statements from your company. After conducting some research, it appears that your organization represents another company, which in turn represents Kabbage. The entire situation is complicated and unclear at this point.When I requested proof of prior communication, the only document I received was a PDF not even with a letter head, dated February 19, 2025, which appears to have been created on the same day, that your company was hired by ************************. Prior to this, I had never heard of Plumeria Accord Holding or Vangarde. Yes, Vangarde send me also some old documents from Kabbage, but no documents proving any direct connection between *******, Vangarde, Plumeria and the verification of that claimed debt.Your company has claimed that multiple entities have been attempting to contact me for years regarding this debt. I have requested proof of these claims and verification of how the debt was calculated, yet I have received no response.Additionally, I have noticed that your business is not accredited by the BBB, and I have been unable to locate your LLC registration number or identify the owner. I would like to communicate directly with someone from your management team regarding this matter.Furthermore, it has come to my attention that your company has contacted individuals who happen to share my last name, making statements similar to "this is an investigation" or inquiring whether they know me. This conduct is unacceptable, as you have no legal standing to disturb unrelated individuals.I expect a professional and fact-based response with the requested documentation.Business Response
Date: 02/21/2025
Dear *****,
We acknowledge receipt of your concerns. Our company has provided you with all relevant documentation, including a full chain of ownership, account history, and verification of the debt. The claim that you were not provided with sufficient documentation is inaccurate.
Our role in this matter is to investigate the guarantors ability to satisfy their financial obligations. When direct communication is not acknowledged or avoided, it is standard industry practice to seek alternative means of contact, including third-party outreach, to facilitate resolution. At no point has our company engaged in any improper or unlawful conduct.
We encourage you to communicate directly with our team so that we may resolve this matter efficiently and professionally. If you require any additional clarification, we remain available to discuss the details of your account.Customer Answer

Complaint: 22969969
I am rejecting this response because it is still not clear to me that the company:
a) Has a legal right to contact me on behalf of a potential debt.
b) Has provided sufficient business information, including ownership details, EIN, or any other verification that confirms it is a legitimate business and not a scam.
I was a victim of identity fraud a few years ago, and my credit report reflects that information. Additionally, I filed a complaint with the FTC back then. Therefore, I must know exactly who I am communicating with, as well as their legal right to contact me on behalf of any potential debt and access any of my information.
Having a website without verifiable business details is insufficient. I requested the company to provide all the necessary documents and information. While I have received some of the requested materials, not everything has been provided.Including zero confirmation that they or anyone else contacting me for years. As in reality, the middle of February of 2025 was the first time when I heard about that company and that debt amount.
As per my rights, I have up to 30 days to respond.
Business Response
Date: 03/03/2025
This complaint is without merit and represents an attempt to delay resolution of a legitimate commercial debt obligation. The complainant is a personal guarantor, and this debt is not subject to consumer debt protections.
The complainant has already been provided with:
-Verification of the debts legitimacy and their personal guarantee.
-Proof of our legal authority to pursue collection.
-Business verification details, including ownership and transaction records.Additionally, the claim that this is the first time they have heard of the debt is demonstrably false, as there is a clear record of prior communication and notices. The reference to identity theft is also irrelevant unless supported by specific documentation proving that this obligation resulted from fraudnone has been provided.
The Better Business Bureau has established measures to reject frivolous complaints that serve no legitimate dispute resolution purpose. This complaint falls squarely into that category, as it is not a bona fide dispute but rather an attempt to evade a clear financial obligation. Given that this is a verified commercial debt, we request that the BBB dismiss this matter accordingly.Customer Answer

Complaint: 22969969
I am rejecting this response because:
I did not receive any confirmation that I was contacted before. Please submit it.
Asking who owns a company and verifying that the company has the legal right to collect a debt is NOT delaying anythingit is my legal right to know with whom I am communicating. I believe the BBB should also be aware of who is behind this organization, given its poor customer service and questionable practices.
Furthermore, this organization does not contact businesses; instead, it reaches out to personal emails, cell phones, etc. This means the company must comply with the rules mentioned previously.
Additionally, I have sent a certified mail today containing very important documents related to the issue to the company's address. From now on, all communication must take place only through certified mailno personal email will be active or available. I still expect them to provide the requested documents before we can potentially reach any agreement.

I had a contract with ********* several years ago. At the conclusion of our agreement, I owed them approximately $1450. It was during COVID, the company was suffering, FUNDWORKS did not honor a payment arrangement and was debiting incorrect amounts. I made out a certified check in the amount and mailed to TRACE BEERS @ FUNDWORKS for final payment. Mr. ***** refused the payment and told me he decided to turn it over to a Collection firm that escalated the $1450 to $6500. stating fees were incurred. Now, VANGARDE, ***** is the employee is harassing me daily. I am very ill, have organ failure, major surgeries, 78 yrs old, only income is social security under $1000 monthly. The company dissolved, bank accounts were closed. We offered to pay and sent them payment three times in a certified check before we closed, two certified letters returned along with initial letter and check we sent which disappeared. I have explained everything, I do not own a car, house, anything of value was sold a long time ago. My health is deteriorating, I live on a mandated medication because of organ failure. Now, I deal with ***** ***** stating I have to provide my checking accounting and tax statements. I do not file taxes, I live on SS under $900 a month and have over $85000 in medical bills at 78 yrs old. Mr. ****** Vangarde client was offered final payment almost 2 yrs ago and refused.

My account with Giggle Finance went unpaid and sent to Collections. This company Vangarde Group was the company to take on the account. The agent who reached out to me is ***** ******* . I specifically asked her They [ Giggle finance ] wants me to pay $2053.65 within two months? she said YES . Though , once she sent me an email for the payment it stated that they wanted $4107.30 . I also questioned her on if there was currently a Lien and she said yes but her voicemail stated that if I voluntarily surrendered and paid that it would be avoided. So once I brought to her attention that the amount she confirmed was different than the amount in the email she then said they would proceed with pre-litigation . I dont appreciate being lied to and mislead on top of her threatening and disrespectful tone. I am willing to pay $2k [ over 4 payments ] with the service fee charges but anything more than what was stated and agreed to by their employee is ridiculous.

Continued lies and Harrasment based on the fact that the company will not accept my payment terms being that my company is no longer in business because of this predatory lending obligation.Business Response
Date: 11/20/2024
We wanted to explain the steps weve taken to help you with your settlement offer and why we were unable to move forward.
Our objective was to assist you in creating a temporary payment plan by advocating on your behalf to the client. For this, we requested hardship documentation and bank statements to illustrate your financial situation. Unfortunately, without these documents, we couldnt proceed with submitting your case.
If hardship approval had been granted, it would have allowed for a temporary payment plan designed to fit your current circumstances. These plans are regularly reviewed to ensure they align with any changes in your ability to pay, with adjustments made over time as needed.
We were dedicated to helping you find a solution that worked, but without the required documentation, we were unable to advance your case. Your account has been returned to the client for further action, and we hope a resolution will still be possible.
