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.

They have many numbers and use fake names, how are they still allowed to operate...They made me fear for my safety..

I told them I would use them but give me a few days to check them out....WOW did they get insulted and called me a loser because I wanted to think about it....Looking at the dates of the other comments 2009 how are they still around I made a complaint to our state attorney..They made me fear for my safety if I did not commit on the spot..

He did the same thing to me...pure white trash tactics....fake names...funny phone numbers, I recorded them making threats on me because I would not do their shady deal and turned it over to the FBI...I heard they are under a watch

class action anyone?

they agreed to collect on accounts for my company and will not send me the money owed to them...

Pretty accurate post, and you're right, we haven't heard the last of Mike Haller.  For those interested in a little light reading concerning his start in the telemarketing business (that's right, he is not a collector, he is a telemarketer/sales manager), google Michael Haller George Destefano.  I don't think you will find the original case from 1993, but the denial of the appeal is interesting enough.  The original case number is 3:93-cr-0065-H.  What a nice guy.

Not that it will do you any good, but the latest incarnation of Haller Harlan & Taylor is NRG & Associates, 16775 Addison Road Addision, Texas 75001 972-752-6001.  This is the new LLC formed by Michael Haller to avoid having to pay all of the clients he had as Haller Harlan & Taylor.

As I am sure you know, you are not alone.  Many clients of HHT did not get paid.  My recommendation to you would be to contact local law enforcement, or perhaps the FBI.  I have seen numerous news articles in the past year where the owners and occasionally employees of collection agencies that did not pay clients were being indicted on criminal charges....something they richly deserve.

Got a call from "HHT Limited com" 972-464-6527. Didn't answer as I didn't know who they were and they didn't leave a message.  I have pristine credit and don't owe anyone a cent.  After reading this site, I am not surprised. I am have however ticked off that my privacy is being invaded by these jerks.

Just a question. Do you owe anyone money. They called me about collecting money from people that owe me. But I don't want to deal with a bad firm.

GOD DAMN TELEMARKETERS LETS PUT A BOUNTY ON THERE HEADS

HHT has vacated the building.  There are no cars at the building.

I know the above appears a bit jumbled... here is a link to do your own search. Just put in Michael Haller and watch the pinwheel spin!!

http://apps.collincountytx.gov/cccasesearch/Search.aspx

From what I understand, HHT was just closed down and forced out of business. NRS, Nationwide Recovery Systems, has sued him SEVERAL times... HHT walked right through the non solicit agreement and even telemarketed the sales floor at NRS, recruiting sales people... stealing clients, etc. in an effort to damage NRS business. Well, they sued, finally won and from what I can tell HHT is no more... but don't worry... We haven't heard the last of Michael Haller... You can BET he will BK HHT and open up a new agency with a new name... just as the plan always was. He always said "once I get a couple million in the bank, Im done"... He went into business with the plan NEVER to pay anyone or anything that he didnt absolutely HAVE TO!!

BEWARE!! Employees, clients, service people........ There is a trail of devastation a mile long, including three failed marriages, 4 foreclosed on houses and a list of judgments as long as my arm!!

Jeez...

Just got a call from a guy named Chris Strouss.  Asked for business owner and I asked him what company he was with and he said hes not with a company.  Then I said business owner is in meeting and he said "Don't pull that crap on me, I just spoke to him 10 seconds ago"  Hung up on him

this company is a scam. my attorney sent this information to me

Our attorneys recently informed us that this company changed their name. In case you (or your legal team) wants to get in touch with them call 972-756-6001. NRGCOLLECTS.COM is their website. I guess it's tough to do business as Haller Harlan Taylor when you've scammed as many customers as they have. We were also informed by multiple sources that they have over $1million in taxes due to the IRS. No matter how many times you switch your company name, you can't get away from the IRS. They'll always get their money, or throw you in jail.

This company is a scam, they buy or get a list of companies and begin to cold call these companies. After they make contact they use collection tactics to ware you down or piss you off enough to give them anything they want just to shut them up....1st mistake.
Advice: Just hang up on them and block further calls from them. After a while they will just slip back to the gutters from where they came.

I Hired HHT to collect money for me from a delinquent account.  Partial monies were collected in the summer of 2010.  It is now March 2011 and HHT still has not given me the monies collected for me.  What is the deal?  I thought I hired them to collect.  Looks like I will have to hire another "Head Hunter" company to collect from HHT.  They are a hugh riipoff  !!!!!!!!  My Advise, Don't do business with Haller, Harlan & Taylor.

We turned an account in for collection in July.  Tony told me he would have our money in 30 days.  They collected their first payment on August 27, 2010 and their final payment on September 8, 2010.  We have called and called and finally rec'd our payment today.  5 1/2 months to recieve money is absurd.  I would not use them again for anything.  Haller Harlan & Taylor is not a reputable company.

Just sue them.  They have a general counsel only there who is slightly more sane than the rest of the company and, once you sue them, you will only deal with him.  That's what one of my clients did and we got paid.

Mark Petersen is a fake named used on occasion by their attorney, whose real name is Jason Van Dyke.  1078 is one of his extensions, but now he is at extension 1087.

It looks like we all got riped off .the number are disconected and no way to contact these rippoffs

essful collection calls also rely on the skill and understanding of the collector making the call. Quite often a collector only has the first initial phone call to establish a rapport with the debtor and to help work out a solution to the debt owed. This may take the form of a payment plan or a discount on the principal amount that is owed

get an attorney and sue them

This company of haller, harlan, & taylor of plano texas is harassing and threating me my family and my business and friends. I need this to stop.

This is where all your money is going once it's collected from HH&T...

One of Michael Haller's many investments. Can we say money laundering...?

1-469-298-1194 / 14692981194 2/9
There are over 2100 results for "haller harlan & taylor complaints" on google.

Stay very clear from Haller Harlan & Taylor.

You submit a claim that is 90-180 days or better. They collect but don't pay your portion or if they do you have to wait another 120-270 days or worse to get paid.

This is a boiler room operation and don't get involved with these crooks.

You have zero protection if the scam company goes BK.

Is this Mr Peterson an attorney or just another one of these thieves pretending to be one?
