BBB Rating

Not Rated

Reasons for rating

  • This business has no rating because it is out of business.

How does the Better Business Bureau rating system work?

Ratings range from A+ to F, based on factors like customer complaints, transparency, and responsiveness. Customer reviews do not impact the BBB rating. BBB also seeks and uses information directly from businesses and public data sources. Please find more information about our rating system.

BBB ratings reflect how a business is likely to interact with customers. Ratings update automatically as new information is received. In some cases, a business's grade may be lowered if the BBB does not have sufficient information about the business despite requests for the information.

Alert

BBB has seen a major increase in collection agencies
starting business in the Upstate New York area over the past several years. In
an effort to keep consumers informed about which collection agencies are
operating in accordance with federal and state law, we have asked for specific
information from all collection agencies located in our service area, including
proof of licensing, bonding, and or registration required by NY state or other
governments where the business is located, as well as proof of licensing
required by any state in which the business operates. This collection agency
has not responded to our requests. BBB advises consumers to be aware of their
rights in regard to collections. This includes New York States law prohibiting
any collection agency from collecting on Payday loans in the State of New York.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) outlines prohibited behavior
when attempting to collect a debt, and outlines specific rights for consumers.
There are penalties for agencies found in violation of the Act. BBB advises
consumers to become familiar with their rights under the Act, which can be
found at the Federal Trade Commissions Website at: ftc.gov.  Consumers can file with
BBB at bbb.org/complain.

BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
