Re: Urgent!!!! Absolute and Their Parent Company?!?
Dear Collection Agency:
I dispute this alleged debt. I have never done any business with Absolute Entertainment and have never heard of the company. If you have any evidence to support this fradulent claim, please furnish it forthwith. Failing that, do not ever contact me again other than to apologize for your mistake. If you do, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

AP is apparently creating one fine mess. And this collection agency they are using, good lord. The guy calls me and leaves a message that me or my attorney must call him back regarding a very important legal issue so on and so on. Sounded like I was going to be in court tomorrow. So of course me wife was worried crazy. I wasn't because I knew it was probably a screw up, but still a hassle. Then I call the guy and he has no details, not even knowing whether it was AP for sure ( he also said absolute entertainment). I did a lot of phone work and emailing a couple of days before leaving town. Now over a week later and not one return phone call from this BS collection agency concerning this "Very important legal matter." I am following up with the bill collector this week, since I've been out of town. I got this email from AP Mr. xxxx Your account is in good standing with us. We just contacted our collections department to disregard any issue with your AP account. I just called and got an answering machine.

Is your Absolute account truly closed or did you just take all the money out? Maybe someone has taken over the empty account and is misusing it. I would try to log in if possible and find out what is going on. [/ QUOTE ] This cannot be the case. After I removed all of the money from the account I emailed support and asked that my account be closed. I signed up for absolute hoping to get rakeback, but I did not track to my affiliate. I was advised to close the account and open another one with a different email address. That is why I closed the account in the first place, but I never reopened a new account. i figured I would wait a little bit so it didn't seem shady. I am making some calls now we will she how they go. The collection agency is closed right now, and absolute support couldn't even tell me the name of their parent company yesterday, so this is going to be really interesting.

I don't know how I feel about sending this over to them, but it seems like they are not going to answer anything unless I do. Where do I go from here?

Re: Read this
I spoke with both the collector and Absolute today. Absolute put me on hold for about 5 minutes and then told me this was an error and that I do not owe them any money.
Here is the number to call for Absolute if you are having this problem 877-887-6537 Ext. 2026. They told me they are going to inform the collection agency of this fix, but we will see.
