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 [***] 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.
