Another Parasitic Collection Agency Misusing the Word “Mediation.”

My daily Google Blog roundup email included a post entitled “Mediation, Not Confrontation.” Apparently, this is the slogan of Progressive Financial Services, a collection agency that has been harassing the blog author for several years (despite his insistence that he is not the person for whom they are looking).

A visit to the home page of these bottom feeders reveals that their “motto” is, indeed, “Mediation, Not Confrontation.” According to PFS,

Our collection motto of Mediation, not Confrontation enables PFS to liquidate our clients receivables and still protect the relationship our clients have with their customers.

That’s right. How could I have forgotten that calling people three or four times a day and threatening them with lawsuits and wage garnishment was page one out of the Mediator’s Handbook.
