Email spamming
Either they do not know how to bulk email properly or they really think I'm in a position to help them and the fate of the world rests on getting me to use them to collect debts owed. I can think of better ways than annoying the crap out of the people you are trying to solicit. Here is a SAMPLE of the over 2000+ emails I've received starting on Fri 4/20/2012 9:21 AM and going a FULL 24 hours (last message: Sat 4/21/2012 9:21 AM). john.berens@***.com Subject: Carson Rose & Associates Sat 4/21/2012 4:44 AM john.berens@***.com Subject: Carson Rose & Associates Sat 4/21/2012 4:44 AM john.berens@***.com Subject: Carson Rose & Associates Sat 4/21/2012 4:42 AM john.berens@***.com Subject: Carson Rose & Associates Sat 4/21/2012 4:42 AM john.berens@***.com Subject: Carson Rose & Associates Sat 4/21/2012 4:42 AM john.berens@***.com Subject: Carson Rose & Associates Sat 4/21/2012 4:42 AM john.berens@***.com Subject: Carson Rose & Associates Sat 4/21/2012 4:40 AM john.berens@***.com Subject: Carson Rose & Associates Sat 4/21/2012 4:40 AM john.berens@***.com Subject: Carson Rose & Associates Sat 4/21/2012 4:40 AM john.berens@***.com Subject: Carson Rose & Associates Sat 4/21/2012 4:40 AM john.berens@***.com Subject: Carson Rose & Associates Sat 4/21/2012 4:38 AM john.berens@***.com Subject: Carson Rose & Associates Sat 4/21/2012 4:38 AM john.berens@***.com Subject: Carson Rose & Associates Sat 4/21/2012 4:38 AM And the text of the email (my email address removed): Received: by email.carsonrose.com for ; Fri, 20 Apr 2012 16:20:01 GMT Message-ID: Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2012 16:20:01 GMT From: John Berens To: Subject: Carson Rose & Associates MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="-==AGNITASOUTER16424****B290000FB==" X-WatchGuard-IPS: message checked X-WatchGuard-Spam-ID: str=0001.0A090206.4F923624.0025,ss=3,sh,fgs=0 X-WatchGuard-Spam-Score: 3, bulk; 0, no virus X-WatchGuard-Mail-Client-IP: 108.163.248.2 X-WatchGuard-Mail-From: john.berens@***.com X-WatchGuard-AntiVirus: part scanned. clean action=allow This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---==AGNITASOUTER16424****B290000FB== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-WatchGuard-AntiVirus: part scanned. clean action=allow I hope all is well. I must admit- getting my foot in the door with your company has turned out to be harder than I ever imagined. The calls, e-mails, voicemails, and smoke signals (I hope you had a chance to see them) have all failed. At the end of the day I am not trying to be a pest, all I am asking is for 1% of your trust, I will earn the other 99%. Carson Rose & Associates is not the biggest agency out there nor do we wish to be. Our goal is to put ourselves in strategic partnerships with our clients, CRA has spent countless hours and dollars putting systems and a process in place to position ourselves to provide our clients with the level of service and results they expect. While I know the percentage of customers not paying your company is minimal, it does not make it less critical. I also understand you can=E2=80=99t place an account with every agency that reaches out to you.= At the same time we both know that if there is a faster, more efficient, and personal solution to bad debt, it makes sense to at least look at it. Make me fight for your trust, challenge me. Allow me to work a couple accounts your current agency couldn't collect, I will prove to you that money is being left on the table. As long as they are still in business I will work it. What do you say?

Denial of Telephony Attack
Carson Rose made in excess of 16,000 documented calls to our company. It took in excess of 100 man-hours for the legal authorities to trace the calls back to Carson Rose. Our damages are in excess of 7 figures. Case is curently with law enforcement. Carson Rose used sophisticated software to hide their identity as not even Verizon High Tech could trace the calls to the origin. An expert by the name of Kevin Mitnick (google his name) had to be consulted to help with techniques to find the perps; Carson, Rose. We have unequivocal proof that these calls were made intentionally. We hope they go to jail.

Carson Rose & Associates Liars, Discrimination.
After not being paid for services rendered (web design), My client and I became engaged in a bitter fight. His attorney issued a cease & desist order asking that I make no contact with him. Perhaps a week later I received a phone call from a Don Nicodemous. He identified himself as being with a collections law firm (Carson Rose & Assoc.). He explained he knew I was trying to collect money from a client ($4k), and informed me that "there were "others trying to collect from him" as well. Naturally I was curious. He asked if I were interested in having his firm try to collect for me as well. I carefully outlined all details of my situation including the C & D order from my clients attorney. I specifically asked, "Is there any conflict with that?" He replied,'No - one has nothing to do with another'. Based on his information, and his advising I really had "nothing to lose", I was faxed a collections contract, signed it, faxed it back. Within two days I received a call from my ex-clients attorney advising me that the harassing calls from Don Nicodemous were, in fact, a violation of the Cease & Desist. She was very careful in describing the dynamic. She advised my-ex client was going to take further legal action in light of my breach of the C & D. Wanting to minimize damage and collect my thoughts, I contacted Carson Rose & Assoc., Don Nicodemous in particular, and explained his advice and assurance regarding the C & D was totally wrong/inaccurate - and in fact I faced further legal action unless Carson Rose & Assoc ceased all collection efforts immediately. Nicodemous was abrupt and seemed terribly angry. I admonished him that had he not lied, telling me the Cease & Desist order was unrelated to his collection effort, I would not be in this situation. After ranting a while, Nicodemous informed me there was a covenant in the Carson Rose contract that forbid me to cancel collections! Beyond, if I did stop the collection effort, I would be responsible to pay his 1/3 commission or $1,300. I was outraged and very directly pointed out had he not lied about collections conflicting with the Cease & Desist - and had he informed me I would be responsible for his commissions if I needed to cancel his service, I would never have retained his services. Nicodemous then hung up, without a word. Within 10 minutes an invoice from Carson Rose & Assoc. was faxed over requesting immediate payment of the $1,300 in commissions. As I tried to call and e-mail to make my case, I found Carson Rose & Assoc had BLOCKED my phone number and e-mail address. Interestingly - another web designer had the exact experience with my ex-client, after picking up where my work left off. She (Chis) had a terrible experience with this client as well, invoiced him, was not paid either, and issued a Cease & Desist order as she tried to collect. Literally identical situations. Having this in common Chris contacted me and we shared our common experience. She had received a call from Carson Rose & assoc. (remarkable, hm?) and was told (as was I), that her C & D had NOTHING to do with collections, etc. She stopped the collections as I did, after the attorney advised her of further legal action. CR&A invoiced Chris, as they did me, demanding she pay the commission herself. Chris took the matter to heart more quickly than I, did quite a bit of research, and found some fascinating information regarding CR&Associates. 1. All collections entities in Texas are required to post an "A Surety Bond" of $10k with the States Attorney's office. We were informed by the Sec'y Of State (TX.) that CR&A had no such bond with the Attorney General's Office - and therefor was NOT LICENSED to DO BUSINESS in Texas. The paper work, from the same agency, is being mailed to us as I write this. 2. After Chris had filed several reports on RipOffReports.com, PissedOffConsumers.com, and found a good deal of personal information that would be unquestionably embarrassing to Brandon Douglas Bradshaw (V.P. of CR&A), posting this information as well (http://www.amazingwebdesignservices.com/carson/recordings.htm), Chris finally got Doug's attention and he called her. She provided Doug with THE DIGITALLY TAPED CONVERSATION WITH DON NICODEMOUS (his first call in which he lied to her - as he did too me). After hearing Don manipulate the truth and misrepresent himself and CR&A, Doug e-mailed Chris admitting Nicodemous was wrong, "would be reprimanded", and assured her he would dismiss her invoice offering his apologies:http://www.amazingwebdesignservices.com/carson/dougemail1.jpg, which he did! But not mine? Please remember that Chris' situation (Cease & Desist), and mine, were virtually IDENTICAL. Since I had not begun business tactics that a cowboy mentality group such as CR&A understands, they as of this writing have blocked all attempts to make contact. Dismissing Chris' invoice, and NOT ADDRESSING MINE, is commonly called DISCRIMINATION. You must treat IDENTICAL situations in IDENTICAL ways, without bias or prejudice. CR&A isn't very effective with the law, nor have they fully recognized what their DISCRIMINATORY actions will cost them. I have sent overnight paperwork showing in detail my identical circumstances, and requesting they dismiss my invoice as they did Chris'. Tomorrow (October 15th) will tell much of what is to follow. 3. Both Chris and I have been hung up on, and Doug Bradshaw seems to have little problem with woman & profanity. If you'd browse to the following URL: http://www.amazingwebdesignservices.com/carson/recordings.htm, and find your way to the bottom of the page Chris has created, you'll be be able to click the sound bar and hear Doug's profane manner of communicating in business. You'll find a good deal of other fascinating data that Chris unearthed. Check the page carefully. I DEMAND Carson Rose & Assoc. vacate my invoice, as they did Chris', for the lies I was presented with, and misrepresentation that created this nuisance matter. There hardly seems need to redundantly advise, but do consider this information and all that Chris has discovered as well before doing ANY business with Carson Rose & Associates. They are currently advertising for "INSIDE SALES REPS" (Nicodemous' smarmy job) on Monster.com, in the Washington Post, and various other employment venues. Perhaps those who carry their ads should consider CR&A are apparently not bonded in Texas, and therefore doing business without license. This is documented. Contact us and we can provide the phone number for the Attorney General's Office. Ask if CR&A has an A Surety Bond with the Sec'y of States office. They will tell you "NO". Keep an eye on Carson Rose & associates name. I'm waiting to hear from Doug Bradshaw tomorrow (10-15-09). If my invoice is NOT dismissed, as was Chris' for Don's lies, We'll have some fascinating follow-ups on the "organization" and it's principles and puppets.

Carson Rose & Associates - In the end - CLOSURE!
What is largely missing from much business interactions are good communications. Here's what I've learned from this situation. As vitriolic as my original report is, once Doug Bradshaw and I were able to "talk" (which was very difficult to get to), we spoke for perhaps a half-hour. I saw Doug's perspective on things, and I believe he was able to appreciate mine. After the conversation, Doug, as agreed in our phone/***, e-mailed me an assurance that Carson Rose & Associates has vacated my invoice as well (see photo attached). Not being surprised really, but perhaps forgot what environment a collection agency works in. Doing what they do, they're not a favorite with a lot of debtors, and their reputation precedes them. I'm guessing they're heroes to those they do collect FOR. Often times we really never get to know with whom we're doing business, until there is a misunderstanding. That's when people truly demonstrate what they're made of. Doug Bradshaw was candid with me, explained a good deal about their dynamics that I never considered. In the end he showed himself to be courteous, professional and a gentleman. If someone owes me money, I would not hesitate to use the services that Doug's co. offers. As vicious as I can be when charged incorrectly, when made to feel understood I can turn out to be a strong advocate. I believe Doug, you need to try sometimes to see what people are really made of - as difficult as that can be in collections. I highly recommend CR&A as a collection entity. Call Doug. No I was not paid for this , simply treated fairly.

Our experiences with this compnay were too much to type here. We designed a page which better details what our experience was when we hired this company to collect on a few outstanding debts owed to our company by a few of our clients. Little to sawy, we do not recommend this company and we hope that by reviewing the information you will also see that we were not treated professionally and this company has serious issues when it comes to treating their clients respectfully. This company has lost all asspect on what really matters, the consumer. Our story can be found here: http://www.amazingwebdesignservices.com/carson.htm

Wyatt Earp I wish you good luck and will pray that everything goes in your favor. It's time the government starts taking action against debt collection companies that harass people and break laws.
It's very sad that your business suffered because of this and I hope things look up and get better for you soon. Keeping my fingers crossed for you so that you get the justice you deserve!
Carson Rose is a horrible company by every meaning of the word. They have no business ethics, the owner is a criminal and continues to violate laws according to all of the bad reviews that continue to appear online over the years.
I do not understand how they are able to get away with the way they operate and how they do business but it is time someone puts a end to it. The stories and reviews online show that this company has a bad reputation and it's scary to me that people would trust them to represent them and collect on debts when they operate the way they do. I wonder how many businesses have hired them to collect and have had to dismiss the debt because of the trouble they create? I suggest that everyone who has a bad experience with this company to keep posting reviews on websites like this and get the word out there and warn others.
Most people today will google a company's name or phone number and thankfully someone was smart enough to get the first complaints out here on these websites so that everyone can be warned of the type of business this is. I have read complaints online ranging from illegal behavior, including using of spoof applications and even what I would consider violations of the FDCA.

Just got a very cryptic call from a company called CRA - Carson Rose. Guy asked to speak to my boss and would not tell me why (I'm a good gate keeper :) and when he hung up on me I decided to research who Carson Rose was and man am I glad I decided to grill him for more information.
Glad this site was out here. He will not be speaking to anyone here, that's for sure.
Are these guys still in business? I heard they shut their doors due to a website put up, just to bring the company down?
Sounds like they did.
Just a couple of guys who had no BUSINESS owning a BUSINESS. It is laughable the way the treat people!

This company is known to use software that changes the number showing up on people' caller id's. They did this to me tonight by having my own cell phone number pop up on my caller id while I was on another phone call.
I KNOW IT WAS YOU BRANDON!
Wow!!!!
If what you say is true the Legal Authorities should get on this one right away especially considering the background check alleged on Carson Rose regarding previous criminal activity.
