These 2 posts are pretty interesting.  If we are to believe Jeff's post above, he was the innocent victim of his terrible partner, who is the one who did all of these awful things...wait a minute, that all happened at Stillwell & Stone.  What about the clients that weren't paid by J.B. Mikel and Associates, or Goldman Pearce?  Also, despite the statement that "I filed bankruptcy and they kept dragging it on and on and on.  I withdrew my petition to file.", this just isn't true.  Bankruptcy court records are available to the public...the discharge was DENIED.  Those same records list over $2 Million owed to former clients.

And Brian, if that's your real name (doubtful), you seem to be implying that you or someone intends to pursue a legal claim on the basis of some of the postings on this site.  If that is truly your intent (also doubtful), you should read a little more of the law.  Truth is an absolute defense to a claim of defamation.  If I am not mistaken, another defense is the plaintiff must be able to prove that his reputation was damaged by the act.  If his reputation was already shot, he couldn't be damaged further.  You might want to also read up on the potential costs of bringing a defamation suit, specifically the Anti-SLAPP laws.

What this really sounds like is a pathetic attempt to escape the consequences of one's own actions.  Face it, own it, and attempt to adjust your character and integrity so that some day you might get past it.

Please we want to resolve this on a friendly basis. As a matter of legal requirement:

In law, defamation (also called calumny, libel, slander, and vilification) is the communication of a statement that makes a claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give a business, product a negative image. It is often, but not always, a requirement that this claim be false, and, or alternatively, that the publication is made to someone other than the person defamed. It is being published to the entire world via the website.

In common law jurisdictions, slander refers to a malicious, false and defamatory spoken statement or report, while libel refers to any other form of communication such as written words or images. Most jurisdictions allow legal actions, civil and/or criminal, to deter various kinds of defamation and retaliate against groundless criticism. Related to defamation is public disclosure of private facts, which arises where one person reveals information that is not of public concern and the release of which would offend a reasonable person. "Unlike [with] libel, truth is not a defense for invasion of privacy."[2]

False light laws are "intended primarily to protect the plaintiff's mental or emotional well-being."[3] If a publication of information is false, then a tort of defamation might have occurred. If that communication is not technically false but is still misleading, then a tort of false light might have occurred.[3]

Please remove this from your website immediately. Please consider this official legal written notice as required by law. Failure to remove this information will constitute your unlawful action by assisting in the dispersing of this negative, untrue, false and misleading information regarding this company.

Unfortunately you have nothing better to do except follow me around and ask questions.  Then call my employers.  I am just a man that had enough experience as a salesman and as a sales manager to open a collection agency.  Jumped out there and risked it all.  We did well for the first year and grew faster than most businesses.  Then I left the business to fly solo.  When my ex-business partner had the company on his own he fired all of my people. Settled the accounts and folded the business with in a few months. Owing everyone money.  Because I had started another business people came after that business.  Posting scathing remarks on here on businesses that none of them had done business with.  I rode that hurricane as long as I could. However, I couldn't get it to grow.  I opened a new one in a different part of town hoping that I could get some traction and ran in to the same issues.  I decided that it was not for me.  I just need to do something different and work for somebody.  Every place I went to work you guys post it on the internet. You guys are obsessed. I filed bankruptcy and they kept dragging it on and on and on.  I withdrew my petition to file.  I had to focus on paying my bills and taking care of my family.  All of my ex-employees started collection agencies asking me questions.  I started a consulting company Buono Business Consulting to help them out.  Recommending my vendors etc.  Always stressing to them to pay the clients.  Grow slowly.  Make sure you have a partner you can trust 100%.  Then I went to work full time for one of my clients they blew up quickly telling me the had all of this money to pay for it.  They want the best. etc etc .  Long story short they fired me because of these online post. I missed work a couple of days to handle some family issues.  I went back to consulting and bills were coming fast that I could not pay.  My ex-business partner from long ago calls out of the blue.  We make up and started Thornton, Frost & Associates after my Grand parents names.  Stressed to him we have to pay these people. take it slow.  I don't want my name on anything I trust you to pay me what our share will be.  Well we started slow but people wanted to work for us again.  I tell them I cant talk to you unless you don't work for a competitor.  Bunch showed we started rolling and then BOOM!!  BAM!! POW!!  Same s*** different day.  Partner is no where to be found.  He is the only signer.  Got to let people go. I had one more guy hanging in there with me.  Partner comes back collects money we go to pay bills and he disappears again.  Thanksgiving, I am talking with family about business and get an account.  I was planning on collecting it myself then Bam partner shows back up. HE collects it in two check over two weeks.  We cut my uncle his two checks less our fee.  The first one clears.  I get more business. Other guy gets business. Then my partner collects the money. I write checks for rent and payroll. BOING the checks bounce. Partner (the only signer on the account) is no where to be found.  Account is empty. I am broke. Just bounced my rent money.  I had to borrow from family that doesn't have the money to pay the bills.  I get a job that started at the end of December selling phones to businesses.  Then low and behold one of you guys email the entire company that I am a crook and so are they for having me work there.  They immediately terminate me. WOW.  I have been lost.  I do not know what to do.  I do not know what you people want from me.  I do not have any money.  Any money that was made and not paid out went to running the business.  I can not work anywhere because you people will post more or call them.   ANYONE CAN POST ANYTHING ABOUT ANYONE ON THIS WEBSITE AND NOBODY SHOULD EVER CARE WHAT IT SAYS.  That has been what I felt since 2009 when I first found the sight while working for as VP of sales at another agency.

SO HERE IS THE SOLUTION TO THIS UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION.  IF I HAVE HARMED YOU.  IF I OWE YOU SOMETHING. ANYTHING AT ALL. AN APPOLOGY. PRAYER. MONEY. RESPECT. A HUG. A JOB. I will be willing to do whatever it takes to right my wrong.  Be creative.  However, once I have paid the debt off to you.  You agree to stop and or delete all of your postings.  Also, if I do not owe you a dime.  You should just be shamed of yourself and stop.  If I have hurt your feelings bring it to God and pray.  He will forgive you and I will too.  It is Easter.  I want a clean slate.  This is my email address that I have set up so you can email to me what you would like me to do to make right the wrong that I have done.

And if you want to find Karl Stanley, he is now a managing member of Karlson & Matthews, LLC, 214-296-4000.  He doesn't seem to have changed much other than the name, however; the complaints are piling up from clients not being paid by them also.  He is on linked in as John Karlson (nifty little shift on his name), as is his partner, Matthew Buchanan, but as Steven Matthews (another little name shift).  I think they are still in business, but the last 2 BBB complaints against them (within the last week) are marked as unable to contact.

Yes, Mike Evans, if that is his real name, went to work at CMB.  Other phone numers are 972-646-6842 and 972-268-6200.  They took customer contact info with them when they left Stillwell and Stone.  BTW, both Stillwell and Stone are ficticious names.

The complaints are adding up on the complaint boards against CMB.  Once a thief and a liar, always a thief and a liar.

NEVER trust a collection agency.  Do not pay them and do not think they will collect money for you (or give it to you once they do collect it), either.  Go straight to the courts, and avoid the bottom feeders.  Stillwell & Stone, and now CMB at the lowest of the bottom feeders.

If I was using others people's money to pay my rent, car payment, etc, I would have perfect credit too. Don't use the excuse that you used clients' money to pay your employees anything because the moment a big check came in, I was sent to cash/deposit it so you guys could pay rent bills (I remember writing a check or two for Craig Ranch) and other things. That company was an ATM to you and Jeff, so don't play the pity game.

They tried lying to us, too.  They collected the money, but kept the $1800 they owed us, and made up all sorts of lies.  I sent the boss over to their office/boiler room.  The person at the door tried to keep my boss from entering the boiler room, but he went in anyhow.  In a loud voice he says "Okay, which one of you A-holes is Jim?"  Some huge dude walks over to my boss and tries to give him a business card, then tried to usher him out.  After a few tough guy words exchanged back and forth, my boss says (again, very loudly and very seriously) "I hope this isn't what sends me back to prison!"  (it's a line from a movie, my boss has never been in prison.) Some guy in the distance gasped.  The place went silent.  Big tough guy tells someone to cut my boss a check.  My boss took it immediately to a bank and turned it into a cashier's check so the crooks could not stop payment on it.  My boss came back to work smiling and we laughed for days over it.  We still tell that story sometimes and it gets a huge laugh every time.  Stillwell and Stone were liars and crooks, every single one of them.  Never use a collection agency.  Just get a lawyer, instead.   Fortunately they were located in the same town as us, and I bet we are one of the only companies who actually got our money out of the losers.   LOL  What a pack of liars, but thanks for the laugh "Big Bad Jim."

They have collected for us as well, according to the Customers they did. We hired them in 2010 also. We have not seen a penny. It's tough being a small business owner in Va.it's bad enough getting screwed by our customers, that we consider to be friends. But when you get screwed by a collection agency, What the hell? So has anyone hired another agency to collect from them.

lol thats funny what do you want him to do put a gun to their head? You cant make anyone do anything they dont want to. Try making your boss pay a bill he doesnt want to pay and see how far you get smart guy. Your an idiot. Its not a employees job to pay the company he works for bills. Do you pay your bosses electric bill. good job. That would only have made him a crook if he had jumped on the wagon and played along. He obviously quite. Your just mad because you probably cant close a door and your name is probably mark wolfe...

this is just a bunch of competitors lying on here just like they do on the phones at their companies. I seriously doubt half of the people on here are who they say they are. ted johnson is mark wolfe of ranger financial and works for curt walker ceo of ranger and trust me these guys do not pay their clients. google them lol i am a ex sales guy and have made my success elsewhere but if you were going to do business with anyone it sure doesnt need to be ranger financial. you dont believe me just call ranger and ask for ted johnson or mark wolfe just dont ask for both because its the same guy. as for stillwell and stone people go out of business everyday. its a chance you take when you do business with anyone you do business with and it happens. your wasting time writing on here to all these competitors. just file on the bond.mark wolfe is a pot dealer, allen humphrey is a homosexual and thats who is writing most of this.

To do third party debt collections in the state of Texas, being domestic, there is no said license.  However, you do register a bond with the state.  I called on theirs, South Coast Surety, and they do in fact have it.  Everyone needs to learn how to look things up on the internet and get facts so you do not sound so pathetic.

It is 10k per incident.  Each case of 10k you file with them that paid S&S.  Obviously there are a bunch of competitors and attorney's trying to make a quick buck giving the wrong advice here.  The company is out of business.  There is no money.  It all went to keeping worthless employees keeping them too long believing that one day they would turn a profit.  My fault.  I have to go back to work to pay the bonding company.  I am making about $2,000 per month.  I would have loved to pay everyone and tried to turn it around.  With sites like this and competitors trying to steal employees and showing them the things that they typed in here themselves it is hard to combat.  
So Allen Humphris of Tucker Albin, Mark Wolf of Ranger Financial, Nick Mitsakos of whatever agency you went to, Chris Collinsworth of CMB & Associates "Cash Money Brothers"...You win.  
You stole my employees and my customer list.  I don't have enough money to sue you right now for what you people did.  Whatever they did here I am sure they will do there.
I am now out of business and broke and nobody gets paid except through the Bond.
GOOD LUCK CLIENTS WITH THOSE GUYS GETTING YOUR MONEY.  
I am the best collector in this business.  Those wanna be collectors will never collect like me.  You will never see that money because those guys don't know what they are doing.  They have sales guys attempting to collect money, WOW.
I found that most of the clients looking for the money were lied to by the stupid sales people trying to fleece you for the business.  My ex-partner that I bought out to save this place paid them on sales instead of fee.  NO WONDER.

You have to go through the bonding company South Coast Surety http://www.southcoastsurety.com  949-361-1692

BTW ex-employee with the initials S.O. next time you work for a company and steal from them you should not type things on the internet that are just a bunch of lies.  All kinds of people drive a Mercedes Benz it is a great car. I have a 800 credit score you should try paying your bills maybe you could drive one too instead of that bread box you drive.
