      I just want to know if Greystone *********** is legitimate. I received a Civil Lawsuit Notification from them for a creditor: EZ Money for $784.40 threatening to put a lien and wage garnishment if I don't pay. The letter is not dated. I did try to call the phone number on the letter. It is indicating voicemail is full and I have not been able to contact them otherwise. It really gives you no other option to pay except on the website and pay online. It pushes you to pay online since it will take up to 4 weeks to process by mail. Is this a legitimate company or a scam. Please help

      I highly encourage people to STAY WELL CLEAR of this fraudulent "collection agency". DO NOT use Greystone Firm. You will not receive your settlement. They play all nice to gain your trust, and then fall off the face of the earth once the settlement funds are wired to them from your ********* my case the debtor sent their wire transfer for $30,000 on March 16 2023 and these fraudsters informed the debtor to wait 8 weeks to be released. 21 months later and they still have not honored their side of the agreement tp pay my portion, and no communication from them since. Their website is a scam. There are no office locations - ****** them/visit them...they are office share buildings that have never heard of them. They do not call/email you back once they have your money. They are a bogus and fraudulent scamming outfit. YouMike *******, ***(ert) *******, **** ******** and **** ******* - most likely aliases - should all be ashamed of your lives and your level of deceit. What you do is illegal and fraudulent. This collection attorney business is 100% a scam. Stay away.

      I hired Greystone to collect money owed to me. It started out well and was receiving funds that were paid by the person that owed the debt. Then the checks stopped and I reached out to the person that owed the debt only to find out that they were still paying this debt and this company stopped sending me checks. They claim the system is automated and has to be a certain amount of money to be cut a check. Well over 2 years has gone by since I've seen a dime and they were still collecting this debt. The agreement was a 50/50 split of the debt. I threatened to contact the *** since what they are doing is technically wire fraud and was told they'd get a check out to me immediately. That was over 4 months ago already. They claimed they sent me a check in June of 2022 that I cashed yet I have zero record of this claim on my bank statement. Then they said I probably threw the check out which I doubt I open every piece of my mail. I just want what is owed to me.

      I reach out for assistance to this company to collected a Judgement on my behalf back in Nov of 2022. I spoke with **** who assisted me with opening my case.I was promised the judgement could be collected with in 140 to 190 days, If not I would owe them anything. This was all an facade to lure customers in. The communication has been fickle. If I don't reach out about the case then there is no communication. I received documents from **** stating that the owners of the building would be paying a settlement outside of the original tenant at that time this was back in 2022. Here it is now and year and a half later and all of a sudden they have pulled out stating that they didn't owe anything as they weren't responsible. *****************, ************************** LLC, ******************** LLC, and Kin Worth Realty was the company who was renting this building out this to The business owner of Joyful Gyvers, both parties were aware that this building has roofing issues. I was told that the original person who the debt was to be collected from was hiding and they can't get in contact with them. This is bizarre! This person is in state and the City of which Greystone Firm operates. Till this day I am still experiencing pain and suffering. While person is walking scotch free. It really pains me to do this but I need my case to be a priority in this matter and not lost under a pile of paperwork.

      As explained previously funds on judgments require satisfaction of judgment with the court before the court releases funds. This has been done on this file. Please do not reply and cash the issued checks.

      I hired *********************** of Greystone around 3/2023 to recoup $7k from a client. Like everyone elses review, **** asked me to redirect the client back to him if she made contact, which I did. I was the one solely sending emails and texts messages for status updates, but weeks and months would go by without an answer. I last texted him for an update 2 months ago and still no response. I believe he received payment from the client, but decided to ghost me and not pay the percentage owed to me. I would run very far away from this guy and his company! He seems very shady.

      There have been no funds collected on this account. The claim that the client "believes the funds have been collected" is simply not accurate. We will have a customer service representative reach out to this client within the next 7 business days. This matter needs to be closed as there are no funds recovered or due to anybody. 

      Customer Answer

      Date: 08/16/2023

      I am rejecting this response because:   I would like to see communication (dates/times and client response) between you and the client concerning collecting funds or request for funds. Also, who is *********************? I did business with ***********************. This seems very shady.

      We have NOT collected any money. The collection communication is protected by Federal Law. You can reach out to your customer to seek the money. We have now closed this account as uncollectable and removed it from the negative credit reporting. Please be advised that this is an official statement: No Funds have been collected on your case. Please deal directly with the customer that owes you money. Many people many assume that we have collected but that is NOT the case,

      Do not use these crookedMichael ******* is a fraud. These guys will ask for your collection so they collect and never pay you. I gave them 2 collection, they collected and will not communicate. They have been paid for my judgment and will not communicate with me. ********************* says he is from the customer care department he got me paid 1 ***** and said that was for verification. Than paid about half of what was agreed. The use false names and false promises with BS tactics. To get you to let them collect and they seemingly pocket the money. I'm hoping enough people can come together and file a class action. Despite collecting my money they haven't paid, haven't responded.

      Business Response

      Date: 07/17/2023

      I see the payments as complete.  As many cases, including those with Judgments , satisfactions of judgments MUST be filed by the party that is releasing the claim and judgment. Many clients ( and not stating that this client) assume that the moment funds are collected, they are to be paid , hence the reason for any complaints in this regard. I have checked the system and the manner in which the payments were made were held for clearance, however all of the payment information in our system shows that the payments have been paid in full to this client.  Payments, June 2023 and July 13, 2023. This complaint came in 7/17/2023 ,please accept any and all apology for any delay in communication or miscommunication. However this matter has been closed as PAID in full as of this date and the previous payments. The payments collected were all done with checks via telephone. Also until Satisfaction of judgment is filed nobody gets paid, this was an exception. Please make sure that  you file Satisfaction of Judgment with the court since you are paid in full. Thank You !
