Just recently I have had probably one of the worst, if not nightmarish experiences with an agency called le vips collection. I found them through a friend who had tried them who visits recommended to me this sp they had, and I myself verified that there was such an agency through TER actually. I called several times but almost always no one would answer. Sometimes I would leave a voicemail and I would get called back, but sometimes at odd hours during the day or when I would be around people, I almost never answered or I'd say I'd have to call back later. There's no way I could just answer that kind of phone call anywhere I had a lot of phone tag before, but finally the operator and I actually engaged enough on a given day and I had enough resources to make something happen..  

This must have bothered the operator because she did note that her system showed that I had been calling quite a bit. She didn't seem mad about it at the time though. I told her my specifications as to what I wanted and we made some arrangements, also that I could only pay with credit. I thought there were a 1 or 2 people working the phones as I had experienced before with another place but its actually just one lady named Andrea. Everything seemed fine until she called my 2 references.

 At this point she become very testy with me, almost hostile. She called me back after trying to call them and was irate with me on the phone that none of them would answer. Her number is blocked, as it showed on my phone, and I told her they probably didn't answer because her number is blocked. I asked her if she could unblock while calling them but she refused. So I talked to my references and I know one of them came through for sure and the other one was very upset after talking to Andrea, she said to me in a text, I quote "She really needs to brush up on her communication skills and not sound like such a *****".

So then once I was verified, I told her I had a long drive to LA in order to meet the sp, and needed a incall and to accept credit card. Dealing with her on the phone was really uncomfortable, like I was doing her a disservice because she was talking to me so rudely. Finally the SP calls me and we made the arrangements. I drive all the way to Hollywood, through rushhour. Near west Hollywood, in rush hour, it is sooo congested and chaotic. Its so difficult to move through or make a turn anywhere. My phone died since it was almost near the end of the day, and I was a little late getting to the meet spot. The sp wasn't there so I went and got a charger from t mobile and called her. I told her I was there but she didn't have a credit card swipe so we couldn't meet, I was so mad. Then when I get home, I called and told andrea what happen and shes claiming that I ditched the appointment and I have to pay $150 service fee! well I met at the hotel, and if shes not there, then what am I paying for? Also I had to pay for at least 100 miles worth of gas, not to mention having to deal with a bully and driving thru so much traffic. Well after that Andrea got really mad and then pretty much hung up on me because I said I didn’t think it was fair to have put the blame on me, the sp couldn’t take credit card anyway.

After all this, I found out Andrea put my name on the internet on the national escort blacklist. Oh great, now shes trying to defame me too. Is this how you treat your customers, your clients? Well this agency can just shove it, because I am just appalled on how they treat their people. Also since then I called back Andrea and told her it wasn’t right that she’s doing this, and she basically made it clear that I either pay the $150 or she won’t remove my name. She put my FULL name on google, because she feels that I wronged her. And her reasoning? on the site, under the description column it says “Client called xx times in one day” That is so ridiculous. So shes not even using the escort blacklist website to actually warn other sp’s, she’s just using it against me for malice and extortion. When I called her, she threatened me no to call anymore or her attorney would be contacting me. And then she sent me another email threatening me with an attorney because I said I would do whatever it takes legally to have my name taken off. So she takes that as a threat? I really don’t understand this woman, I have never dealt with someone so suddenly bitter straight off the bat. Im afraid to go apply for a job or to hang around people, in case they want to google my name.

The only way I could communicate with her is by phone, and that’s only when she answers. She never responded to any of my emails, and the only way I could email her is through the agencies’ website through a form in the browser. Her official reason for punishing me is because I called too many times in one day, but she wants me to pay for her sp’s time and money spent? on what? hotel, or taxi? the taxi I can believe, but I refuse to believe that she got a hotel because she wasn’t even there when I called her. Is that worth throwing your customer under a bus for? to try to destroy his name? Whatever you do, I really caution you dealing with this agency. She will not hesitate to throw your name on the internet and slander your name if you piss her off. I really don't know what to do and am frustrated. Can anyone suggest anything?

Well, if cash is an issue, maybe this is the wrong activity for you.  Just sayin.   Much better ways to go into debt than this.

But, if you do want to 'finance' your adventures, have you thought of doing a cash advance off the card?

I would pay the money and request to have this thread deleted. You are creating more issues for yourself.

It seems like you made several mistakes though. If you have to use a credit card, should you really be doing this? The same people screened me, but I knew who I wanted to see. I never had to release my name, nor would I have.  I sent a P411 request to book the appointment. It was rather painless. Heck, I rarely call anybody, unless that is their preferred contact method. Once the booker was irritated, you should have looked elsewhere. Sorry for your problems but it is best to come up with a peaceful solution versus tarnishing either party's name. Good Luck.

I had been communicating with an out of town lady who for awhile and told me she will be visiting LA.
Out of the blue, she was in LA and asked if I wanted to to meet, which I said yes.  Instead of setting it up, she told me I needed to screen and I would need to talk to this agency.  So I did.  

I sent an email to them  and got a reply from one person. I responded and got another reply from someone else. I replied again and got the first person. Every reply was a different. So I got fed up and ending my conversation with them.  I told the provider what happened and she offered to do a traditional screening with me, but I told her to forget about it.

there is only one agency i would use from now on but I prefer to deal directly (no assistant either) with a provider to set something up.

Are you trying to earn points for a free trip with your family or something to use a credit card?   WTF  
  Thanks for the tip though cause I was actually going to use them but now I will never use them and hopefully everyone will blackball there agency . Agencies SUCK !! No 2 ways about it. They asks for the world of information on you and you dont know where that information goes to in the end . Thanks for the story and use your credit card at the grocery instead!!!!!

Your only dealing with one person ! If you did your homework AND THE PROVIDER is legit! With a agency you dont know how many people at the company your dealing with and if the agency goes down your name will be on the information. Agencies also do a big time touch up job on all there pictures because they want buisness.

You probably belong on the blacklist as an incredible time waster.  You called what appears to be at least a dozen times and then when they return your call you can't talk.  Have you ever heard of  e-mail?   It makes it very difficult for other people to listen in on conversations  You are apparantly too impatient and lazy to try that.  
   
 Then you leave late from wherever it is you were that is 100 miles away, not accounting for L.A. traffic?  How long have you lived here?  What were you thinking?  Star Trek transporter?  You are of course late for the appointment.  Another stupid mistake and a waste of their time.  
   
 You leave with your phone not charged up knowing you are going to need it to make contact upon arrival?  You don't have  a phone charger in your car?  Another moronic move.  Then you leave her hanging while you search out a T-moble to buy a charger?  How long did that take before your phone was usable, another 45 minutes to an hour?  Yeah at that point you were a NCNS, no argument about it. You owe the money.  
   
 And this whole business about using a credit card is so retarded I don't even  know where to begin with that.  All I can say is that most ladies won't use a cube on their phone because it is very incriminating.  You probably haven't figured out that the slot the ladies have on their bodies isn't for credit cards.  
   
 I don't think you are completely to blame, though.  Andrea should have simply told you no thanks, we don't want your cheap dumbass as a customer and we can't do credit cards.  But she pparently went above and beyond  a normal effort for a booking and tried to help you out.  And then you totally fuck it up.  She should have seen that coming.   Blacklisting is harsh, but I can certainly understand why she'd be infuriated with you.  
   
 I would normally say you and Le Vip should be reasonable and split the difference, but that is very hard after you come here and complain about your own stupidity and try to convince us  that Le Vip is a big evil sham.  Dude, hundreds of people use them with zero issues. You should have understood your part in this, manned up and taken responsbility for your total ineptitude in the adventure.  
   
 A little something about the National Blacklist site if that is where she reported you.  They will not remove a report, even at the request of the reporter, unless you get a court order.  That will cost you $5,000 to $10,000 in legal fees and you get to go to a judge and explain why you're on the NBL in the first place.  Boy I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation.  $150 doesn't sound too bad, eh?  
   
 To sum it all up, its probably a blessing in disguise you've been blacklisted, because this absolutely is not the place for you to be.  This is an adult activity and you clearly don't have the intellect and maturity to be involved.  Your comment that you are afraid to look for a job or hang out with people tells it all.  
   
 And for christ's sakes, don't PM me for further advice.  
   
 Lastly, WTF is an sp?
Why would you expect me to PM you for advice, after you clearly have take the antagonist approach to me asking for suggestions? Your post doesn't offer much other than ridicule and mock, but it does offer a little insight as to their point of view (agency). Still, you know nothing about me and what I should or shouldn't be doing. If an agency says they accept credit card, then why not let them haggle with it? Why should I be punished for it? I told her blatantly I needed to request it, she could've set me up at one their agencies' many incall locations, I'm sure they have some kind of payment system. And no, I don't view the ladies as having a slot on their bodies to accept payment. Thanks for trying to make me the bad guy.

A business has a reputation to uphold, so naturally I think its totally wrong for their company to be doing what they did to me. Why not save it for the real problematic customers, not because the one time this customer actually makes a plan and then everything goes to shit because of unforeseen circumstances? Even if I had been able to make it there on time, it was not likely it would have worked out. Ok so she didn't have a card swipe? Not my problem, I told the operator that several times and hours in advance trying to make the damn appointment. Could we drive somewhere else, perhaps one their agencies' locations to use one? Uhhh, that's a big hell no. I'm not driving anyone but myself anywhere for that. So what was I supposed to do anyway? and you making this out like I'm the bad guy. Yes, I probably should've had my end stronger, such as time, battery, phone communication. But given the treatment I received from her, and going through all the trouble for NOTHING, AND to have blast my name like that? Its totally wrong, you can't justify it. How can you? She never even would consider giving me the benefit of the doubt that I went through all that crap without the intention of trying to waste anyones time. Is this how a business is run? I'm wasn't even opposed to trying to get some redemption or trying again to make amends if she didn't make the whole damn thing so ugly. If she wants to run her business into the ground, she can go right ahead. But anyone who does business with malice or bad intentions will eventually make it hard on themselves. If someone orders something on the phone or online and doesn't pay for it, should we just throw their name on google and except them to come groveling back for business? You re-read your own hypocritical crap and tell me what you think against what I said. Yes this sort of this raises questions but none that can't be answered. I'm always open to compromise and mediating the problem with the other party, trying to find a solution. I only came here to describe an honest review of what I think of what happened, I think other people should at least be aware. I'm sure they've had countless customers where everything was fine, but my situation wasn't even that bad, and look how messy it got. If you were a customer and you were expected to pay up or have your name broadcasted to the world, would you?? NO. I was not a deadbeat, I was not a no show. I was not a bum, I had money via their own described methods, no one should ever have to put up with this kind of treatment

Sorry Goldie, not even close.  Never even used their services, although I have seen a girl or two on the roster independently back in the day.  Just calling it like I see it.  It would of course be nice to hear from the other side of the story.  Perhaps I would change my views, but somehow I doubt it.  
   
 How would you feel about this situation if it is was you waiting in a hotel room tapping your foot for this inept moron after his admitted dozens of calls, etc, etc, etc.?   Would you perhaps feel that excuses are like assholes, everybody has one?    
   
 The OP's clueless wall of text  explanations sounds more like a guy who thinks if he keeps on talking while they put the rope around his neck,  they won't drop the trap door.  Well the trap door dropped.  Like I said this is an adult game and if you don't have your shit wired tight, there are consequences.  This dude learned the hard way that this game is not the Home Shopping Network.  Just road kill along the highway of love; too bad, so sad.  I really was trying to help, but you can't teach a pig to sing...    
   
 I hope he finds a job soon.
eventually this will be cleared up, this wont stay on forever. Worst comes to worst, I saw that the names drop off the list in 4 months. I already have an attorney helping me out, but I find it how very interesting how this guy seems to love to bash me. Since your so keen on the hobbyist industry, you could offer some advice but instead you would rather sit there and make judgements. seems like an easy gig for you. You feel better, tearing someone down on a forum, TER of all places? I pity you, acting like such a badass, talking about this kind of thing. My job isn't a big concern to you but if you must know, I get bored with my work. Working as a server can bore you to tears. all I know that this is not the way to do business; what happened is what jerks and time wasters deserve, and people worse than that. If I was such a time waster, then why would she never answer the phone? If she were to hold it against me for calling the agency in the past, then she should've either answered the phone, or hired an assistant to help deal with the phone traffic. She cant expect me to just answer her phone call anywhere or expect to be ready to go for her own schedule. Anyone with a brainstem should know that any good business should put customers and reputation first, always.

The fact that you are late isn't good..........you are wasting someone's time. You have failed to tell us how late that you actually were. The fact that you are the only person on the planet that has no phone charger sounds a little suspicious.

But, what really makes matters worse is that you waited until you got back home (100 miles away) to call the service back.

At this point it clearly appears to the service (as it would me) that you just never showed up at all.

You are clearly in the wrong (even if it were by accident of traffic, a dead phone, and no phone charger). The fact is that someone lost money on a hotel, transportation, and potential business loss after spending 2hrs getting ready to see you.  

I think that the 150. is more than a fair request. And, for you to bitch about that and slander their name here on this board for your mistake isnt at all right.

Why would you create so much drama and not just pay the 150? You are only making matters worse for yourself.

Granted it may have just been an unfornuate set of of circumstances but someone has to be responsible and that someone started with you being late. And, digging that hole deeper isnt helping.

Just my opinion...........................................

You were put on the national blacklist and verify him for threatening us over the phone.

You were put on the national blacklist and verify him for booking an appointment, not cancelling, the provider coming OUT OF POCKET for the room.

There is a cancellation fee.  You were asked to pay that for missing the appointment and the provider being OUT MONEY.  

That is not out of the norm!

You call over 40 times a day.  We HAVE answered EVERY SINGLE EMAIL that you have EVER sent to us.  We ALWAYS respond to you.  

WE STOPPED after you threatened us over the phone the last time

There are 2 in depth reports on both nationalblacklist.com and verifyhim.com FOR A REASON!  In the entire time I've worked in this industry, we have utilized these sites to blacklist a guy a total of 5 times (thank god not more).  I'm sorry I cannot call these "guys," gentlemen, because they are not.  First report was made on May 30th, second report was made on June 14th.  Hmmm... see the difference in time span?  But he's really genuinely cares for the provider, right?  Total BS.  

Read below, apologies for the extremely long post everyone, I'm just sick of this crap.

He reserved an appointment with an 18 year old provider who will remain un-named.  Set appointment in early afternoon, about 1pm for a 5:30pm reservation.  WAS TOLD the provider didn't have a location and had a acquire one.  Did not call LVC until 8:32pm (I have a record of this).  That is 3 HOURS after the reservation passed to give me a sob story of BS.  I am the providers personal assistant, not yours.  I am here to help with screening and make sure guys like you don't slip through the cracks of unsuspecting innocent young girls.  Not to mention, you are far exaggerating, as you only drove 40 miles, but I guess 100 sounds better when your trying to get people you've never even conversed with to take the side of a stranger.

He said he was using cash.  NOT credit card.  If he would have wanted to pay by credit, he would have had to do the following BEFORE the appointment:  
(of course he didn't know this was the process because he wasn't paying with credit!!!)

Receive an email with out authorization form
Fill it out
Email it back
Run transaction  
THEN confirm  

We asked him to pay a cancellation, he declined.  So we blacklisted him.  The cancellation does not even cover the amount of that was spent to procure an incall location.  It clearly states a cancellation fee ALL OVER our website, models page, FAQ, Schedule, etc AS WELL AS in the signature of our emails.  

His "reference" gave me an attitude when I asked her to confirm the phone number of this guy, not just go by the name and tell me he's ok.  Excuse me for doing my job and making sure that the phone numbers matched.  I really could care less if she thought I was a b*tch, I'm doing what I'm supposed to do.  If she has a problem with giving a reference properly, perhaps she should not be in this business.

You were added to the blacklist a second time, when:  
(Which this call was received almost 2 weeks later!)

You called
You apologized
You complained about blacklist
You threatened us multiple times
You were blacklisted again

This type of behavior is unacceptable from any stand point.  And the fact that you are on TER crying your heart out is not helping you at all.  You brought all of this on yourself and I TOLD you, you would be blacklisted without a cancellation fee.  

Its not a normal scenario where you cancel on someone that uses their private residence.  NO.  You cancelled on AN 18 YEAR OLD GIRL that had to spend her own money on you.  For nothing.  You, as an early 20's college student, should have more brains than this (you would think).  

*Do you know I had to deal with a CRYING 18 year old on the phone for an over hour?*  

AND FOR THE LAST TIME!  LE VIP COLLECTION IS A SCREENING COMPANY!  JESUS!  

Of the over 60 ladies listed on our website, 6 GIRLS use stock photos. 6 out of 60.  Let me repeat that again.  6 out of 60 girls use stock photos.  The rest of them just blur their face.

You want to see the real pictures, get a membership.  You don't want to?  Screen and ask the provider for a photo directly, considering that AFTER you screen, the provider contacts you directly!  We do NOT PROVIDE incall locations, it is the sole responsibility of the provider.  We handle advertising placement, screening and scheduling, this is explained all over our website for a reason.

And Kenescalade, to clarify (since I'm on a roll right now), you contacted our company once.  3 email threads.  You ONLY dealt with Chantel (no longer working here).  You declined screening when you knew we were screening for the provider.  Please don't join the "band wagon."  Be above all this, we're not in high school.

The worst part about all of this, is that this guy really seems to think doing things like this is ok?  
ARE YOU KIDDING?  
But Le Vip is the bad company, right?  

Screw that and screw this.  
I've said my peace and don't have any more time to deal with this drama.

We have worked far to hard on our reputation and standard of customer service, to lower ourselves to your level.  You wanted a response?  Well.  You got it.
