Typically, I would not make a post of this kind here.\u00a0 But seeing as I have found some information on Google which negatively associates me with Cobra Collection Agency\u00a0of Columbus, GA, I must post a response that will also be Google-able (is that a word?) to offset that negative association.<\/p>\n

I won’t get into lots of details here but I will reveal some undeniable and absolutely verifiable information.\u00a0\u00a0But there are some things I want to make absolutely clear here.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As of December 2006, I (as president of my corporation) issued a written Cease and Desist Order to Cobra Collection Agency that we did not want to utilize their collection services any longer (verifiable through a letter I wrote).\u00a0<\/p>\n

After months of asking for reports and payments (absolutely verifiable through a series of emails and letters), it became too problematic to work with the owner, Janice Ledden, her staff, and\u00a0firm\u00a0any longer.\u00a0 A bad working relationship had to end.<\/p>\n

We finally did get a report and a check.\u00a0 But then that check bounces (absolutely verifiable through a copy of the NSF check).\u00a0 I have charged my law firm to collect from them.\u00a0 Can you imagine that?\u00a0 Collecting from a collections agency?\u00a0 How ironic is that?\u00a0 Time will tell if I will get any money from Cobra Collection Agency at all.\u00a0 If not, I will consider it a valuable lesson learned indeed.<\/p>\n

There was a time I was friendly with Cobra Collection Agency and I volunteered to register and set up a website called cobraagency.com.\u00a0 I have no ownership or management interest in the company.\u00a0 The only relationship I have with them is simply as an ex-client.\u00a0 I have\u00a0relinquished the domain cobraagency.com back to the public.\u00a0 I want nothing to do with it and regret\u00a0registering it as it has been misinterpreted by others that I may have had an ownership or management interest in Cobra Collection Agency.\u00a0 It is simply not true and not the case.<\/p>\n

I have my suspicions and opinions of what is going on but I cannot publicly say it.\u00a0 Nor is it really that important.\u00a0 What is important to the public at large is that I issued a Cease and Desist Order in December 2006 and wished I had done it sooner.\u00a0 Getting a NSF check from them only reinforced my thought that I did the right thing.<\/p>\n
