We received a bill from Synter Resource Group,LLC for a overdue amount from ***... problem is, we do not and have not owed *** anything. We had an account with them years ago, over 15, for our business but we never used it and never owed them anything. This is a total scam and from the looks of it, many others have had the same thing happen to them as well. Makes me wonder how many people have fell for this and payed them money. info they sent me was: *** Account: ****** Synter File Number: ******** Says I owe $87.78 Again, I do not owe *** and have never owed them anything.. I closed my account years ago as well. And by the looks of these other complaints with this company, they have been doing this for quite some time to people.

Synter continually calls me asking for a company. I have repeatedly told them they are calling a personal cell phone not a business. When I ask why they are calling and where they got my number, they hang up on me. When I call back, I only get Gail at the switchboard who ALWAYS sends me directly to voicemail when I ask for a Synter manager! I want to A) know where they got my number B) why they are using it for deceptive purposes and C) have them STOP CALLING ME. These are simple and fair asks yet they refuse to comply and have been calling me since November 2023 (even under different pretenses!)Business response

We have been contacted twice by this company for supposed overdue charges on a UPS account. My company has never had a UPS or any kind of shipping/mailing/etc account. These notices are suspicious at best since there is no information on how to contact the indicated debtor. In fact, it actually states if you try to reach out to UPS they will not be able to help you because your account is in our possession now.Business response

I have contact UPS directly and they have no record of the Account number listed on the invoice sent from Synter Resource Group. They are researching the account/activity/tracking numbers. Since all the packages went to one address (not ours) they are researching that address/business. We are also contacting the police in NYC since that is where the business that received all the packages is located.Initial Complaint

Was sent a collections notice for $63.83 from this Synter Resource Group on behalf of UPS despite paying on time. The actual brokerage fees I paid UPS was $110.06. UPS has ignored/redirected my attempts to contact them about their brokerage fees throughout the whole shipping timeframe and when I have to pay by check at delivery in order to accept the package they say I owe a late payment fee well after they cash in my check, which for some reason they took 7 days to do. If that is what caused the late payment then that is absurd as that is still within the timeframe provided by UPS. Their invoice was dated 11/8 but I handed in the check on 11/7 at the time of delivery so the dates provided by UPS already are not lining up. I have the bank statement that shows the check was cashed in a week after I handed it at the time of delivery on 11/7 if needed. If the check was fraudulently deposited by the delivery guy then that's an issue, but I don't know how that would have gone through and I haven't been contacted by my bank. There was no way I would be able to receive the package if I did not pay on time. The file# provided by Synter Resource Group LLC is ********. I would like this debt collection closed since I have clearly paid on time and you guys are negligent in checking whether or not I have paid on time.Business response

Please do not send me any more letters, and let UPS know to stop ignoring my calls to clear up the bogus late payment fees. They can reference the screenshots of the check.

I have received several fake invoices supposedly from UPS for charges that I do not owe. I have a legitimate account with UPS, and I called them several times and went online to their official website as well and I have confirmed from both sources that I do not owe any money. UPS told me that this was a common scam and I should report it because I do not owe them any money. I just received a collection letter from Synter Resource Group which I have attached to this complaint. Upon doing some research, I discovered that there have been several other complaints about them with regard to fake UPS bills and other collection attempts as well. I would like BBB to contact them as I am unable to reach them by phone and resolve this false claim so it doesn't affect my credit report. The "file number" Synter listed is ********. Thanks in advance for your assistanceBusiness response

Hello,
UPS is a client of ours, Synter Resource Group. We assist UPS in handling their outstanding receivables. UPS sends us the files to load, and we load exactly what they sent us. For our file # ******** we have 3 open invoices for the company BottleBlond COM at 1621 Don Carols Ave in Glendale California.
As info UPS will write off any invoices in their system after 60 days. From there those accounts get housed in their collection system. It makes sense that if you called them, they would say you don't have anything outstanding as they don't always look in their collection system. These invoices go back to 08/26/23, 09/16/23 and 10/07/23 respectively. I will be happy to get these invoices emailed to you for review, just let me know.
As far as Synter Resource Group being a s***. This is not the case, Synter has been opened for over 22 years and we are a very reputable company.
Should you have any other questions please let me know.

Hello,
We, Synter Resource Group, assist FedEx Freight in collecting and resolving their outstanding receivables. FedEx sends us the placements and we load the business as they send to us. Regarding your account we show 16 invoices open totaling $27,233.76. The principal amount for these 16 invoices is $6,085.76. According to FedEx's tariff when they send an account to collections the company's discount gets revoked. This is why the total we have is $27,233.76. We can send the invoice copies and back up to you if you want to review, please let me know.
Synter Resource Group, LLC has been in business since October, 2022. We are not a scam.

I am rejecting this response because: The account is up to date with the exception of the disputed invoices that were quoted one price and charged a different price, therefore there is no past due invoice for FedEx. My account rep has confirmed that this matter is in review and waiting for corrections to be made by FedEx.

Grommet M***Business response

We have been contacted repeatedly by a representative from Synter Resource via phone message. The representative that calls leaves only a first name. We have returned these calls numerous times only to get voicemail. We have used Synter Resource's automated phone system to try to reach another person that could assist in resolving this matter. The only response we got from Synter Resources was an individual that gave us an email address for the representative that keeps calling and told us to email this person. This business claims to be a collection agency for UPS and that our "account" is past due. We were given a "file number" and told to reference file number 14296299 when we return calls. In additional to returning calls and leaving messages we have sent 4 emails to the Synter Resource representative> ALL retuned calls and emails reference file number 14296299 explaining that we do not have a UPS account past or present. We have received no response to our phone messages or to our emails. We want an email response from Synter Resource concerning the resolution of this issue. ThanksBusiness response
