      We used TAFS for our factoring needs for few years but now we decided to join another factoring company. A termination notice was sent on time to inform them that I will no longer require the services of TAFS. When a buyout was received by the new factoring company, a handling fee in the amount of $44,700 was added. TAFS explained that this is not an early termination fee as I sent a notice on time and that is simply a Handling Fee. This is not part of our agreement. I sent the agreement to an attorney, and they could not find anywhere in the agreement such fee. This is not something that we agreed on.
      I am very unhappy with TAFS’ services, and I do not want to continue business with them under any circumstances. All I want is to finish this relationship in a professional manner. No company will ever accept this outrageous fee as handling fee. This is just a tricky way to force clients indirectly to factor with them. All we want is a BUYOUT without exorbitant handling fees to be sent to ******* ****** our new factoring company. It’s been a week since we requested a buyout to be sent and there is no response as of today. It is a shame the way they treat their clients.

      I have already made a review informing anyone of thinking of doing business with TAFS and I will continue to do so at every major inconvenience having to do with receiving monies that I have already done the work for and am rightfully owed. I have had issues with receiving payments from TAFS since I began factoring with them. Today I inquired about payments from 5/18/23, 5/19/23, and 5/23/23. Mind you it is now 6/30 and I still have not been paid. I have had to call in to make a fuss about money owed to me for well over a month. I have had to call each broker myself and verify payment only to call TAFS (not get an answer like usual), have them call me back just to say hopefully they can get it paid out in a few days. Then for my current payout each week is a toss up of whether I will be paid or not. The individuals who review your invoices won’t bother to read ANYTHING and everyone you talk to is likely working from India for cheap pay and English is their 3rd language so the barrier is very likely limiting full comprehension of the situation at hand. The only way to ever get a REAL response from TAFS is to leave a review. So I will leave one each time I am delayed and charged extra due to their inadequacies, inability to read, and lack of concern for these very serious matters. I do hope everyone publicizes their concerns until they have to pay attention, I’m sure by then it will be too late and no one will be duped into signing up with them ever again.

      I have partnered with and recommended TAFS to my client CAPITAL HAULING and it has been a nightmare since day 1. Every single invoice submitted to TAFS has not been paid and its been excuse after excuse. Initially, they removed a bol from the already processed invoice and stated the bol was missing. It could not have been missing if it was processed and the staff emailed the bol to me the same day it was submitted saying something about the image corners. Second, the next invoice was a blind shipment and they stated the bol doesnt match. Of course it doesn't, its a blind shipment and I since made a not stating this and reached out to the broker myself because TAFS stated they couldnt reach anyone after trying 1 time. I got in contact with the broker immediately and he gave me a direct cell phone for TAFS to call. Third invoice, i submitted with perfect paperwork, everything matches and requested same day. Just happened to go online this evening an saw it said unsubmitted. The notes state they didn't reach the broker. Again, they must've attempted 1 call. And why would you put it in unsubmitted? So now it will sit there until when? Fourth, they don't work with a specific broker and I requested a letter of release so we could get paid, and they refuse. So if you dont work with them then how do you expect the driver to get paid if you don't provide the specific document needed for them to get paid. This is the experience from down below!! My client wants out of his contract that he's been promised 24-48 hours of factoring and hasnt gotten that, no one works or answers the phone. And to top it off, they sent me a verification email to send to the brokers. I don't work for TAFS or give me a paycheck to verify loads!

      I’ve been factoring with tafs for the last year and when I tell you it’s been a nightmare .. All the invoices I upload I myself has to do the verification or they will kick back the invoice . When you need help on something it takes then hours to call you back . Now I’m trying to leave tafs and complete a buyout and it’s taking them weeks to even complete the buyout it seems like they are trying to run me out of business since I’m no longer factoring with them … tafs is the worst factoring company I do not recommend any company to sign up with tafs

      TAFS management has reviewed this complaint. The carrier signed the authorization form on 6/21, and TAFS sent the buyout agreement to the other factoring company the same day. The other factor executed it on 6/27. TAFS sent the final release letter on 6/30. Thank you.

      Signed up with this company to do my factoring. They locked me into a contract. They are not holding up to their end of the contract, wont answer the phone when i call, their app they make me use crash’s on a daily basis, doesn’t work most of the time. They cant read the pictures they require me to put on the app, reject payment and put me into financial hardship over and over. Ive got screen shots of being on hold with them for over 2 hours. They are Not doing their job, you cant get a hold of them when there is an issue. Their app doesn’t work. I cannot run a business this way. I WANT OUT OF THIS CONTRACT!!!

      My contract to with TAFS expired on 6-7-2023, However one of my ****** weekly payments went to them on 6/14/2023 in the amount of $3,182.64. I have called and emailed TAFS concerning having this payment sent back to ******. I was given a DocuSign on 6-14-2023. I have called to inquire about the status of this refunded payment.. I get no where, transferred, hung up on told to contact client services, call client services to only wait hours (5-6 hrs.) for a call back only for them to say they don't know anything about refunds or don't handle refunds. No one there can give me any sort of time frame or anything concerning this payment to them that was sent after I'm no longer their client. I have emailed the person that sent the DocuSign with no response back, I have emailed a supervisor (only have his email because he tried to convince me to remain a client) with no response back. I only want what I worked for as this has caused a great hardship on me (I'm a owner/operator) and its just me. I can't get any type of assistance with getting either my money sent back to ****** or even a simple update on the DocuSign i sent back. Also, no one will assist me because they are saying I need a "case number" which no one ever provided. This has been an exhausting process which no one at TAFS seems to care about.

      I have been trying to get out of my renewal contract for over 90 days now. This company makes it impossible to leave. They have held up funds and the rates that they are taking is unbelievable. When we call to ask how to get a manager on the line to resolve issues, the employees are extremely rude and state they are as good as they get. We need to get out of our contract. We are now 3 days into the auto renewed contract and they have not processed no payments. They need to have a customer service line just for cancellations.

      TAFS management has reviewed this complaint. In accordance with the terms of the FSA, only an authorized owner can submit a notice of nonrenewal, it must be sent to ****************, and it must be at least 90 days but not more than 120 days from the FSA renewal date. TAFS team has communicated this to the client, and there is not a valid notice of nonrenewal on file at this time. Thank you.

      Tafs claims they have not received payment from trinity. "a broker"
      I was forced to chase down proof of payment, I submitted it and they said they would look into it. I have not heard back from anyone. They refuse to provide me with ucc termination form so that I can hire a factoring company that actually works.
      They have also charged me handling fees that they can't account for.
      I've requested a break down of said fees and they do not respond.
      My company is running out of cash to run on due to this.
      They are literally bankrupting us due to their inaction.
      It's my belief that this to be retaliation due to us not reupping our contract with them.
