TAFS, Inc.Reviews of tafs.com

This company has been nothing but a headache. They lock you into a contract and make it nearly impossible to get out, even when they aren’t delivering on their end. They refuse to release me, and instead of helping my business grow, they’ve held it back by not factoring my invoices like they promised. Every time I’ve tried to resolve the situation, they drag their feet, give vague excuses, and avoid taking responsibility. A factoring company should be a partner that supports your cash flow — not one that traps you in a contract and then fails to perform. If you’re considering working with them, be very careful. Read the fine print, because once you’re in, they’ll do everything they can to keep you stuck, regardless of how poorly they manage your account. For a small business like mine, this has been costly and frustrating. I would not recommend them to anyone.

I got their Brochier in the mail and called. The sales Rep Xavier Calahan told me the factoring rate was 3% so I decided not to do it because I saw other companies charge 2% , but then he said Tafs would get me a trailer for $5 -$10/day which I thought was a great deal, so I decide to pay the higher factoring rate than other companies offer because the money I would be saving on a trailer would outweigh the loss on the factoring rate. After I was in the contract, I called Tafs about getting a trailer and they gave me a number to call, (they wouldn't tell me the number until after I signed the contract) and the person there would not rent me trailer, stating that they have not rented trailers for 2 years. So Xavier lied and therefore the contract is null and void. I would take Tafs to court except I didn't record the call so I can't prove anything that was said. He also said that Brokers take 30 days to pay which is a 1/2 truth and a whole lie. Over 80 brokers use triumph pay which means you can get paid in 1 day for usually a 2.5% fee. Most of the brokers who don't use triumph pay have their own quick pay options. So then I was locked into a 1 year contract with a 50% higher rate than I was going to have, with no benefit. Great. The actual factoring experience with Tafs was good, if you think waiting 2 business days to get paid and having problems with 30% of your invoices is good! If I submit my paperwork after 12:00pm Central time on Friday, I don't get paid until Tuesday Morning! Numerous times I was stuck sitting unable to make money because I couldn't afford fuel. Their 1 hour advance cost $25 and then you have to pay fees to use it and you don't get any discounts you would otherwise have with other companies. One time I had a broken alternator in 23 degrees, and I had to sit all night in that because they can't get my money to me, I submitted the day before. And you can forget about the 1-hour advance option because it's 9 o clock at night and my bank doesn't open until 8am. Their app has little value because when you submit a POD, it changes it to black and white, so any gray just vanishes. When they review the POD, they'll say they can't read it and then you will have to re-submit and pay a new transaction fee if you had other invoices in that batch and wait another business day to get paid. I had this issue on about 30% to 50% of invoices. It sure is nice to work directly with brokers now and not have anyone say "your paperwork is not clear" The reason they lock you in for a year is because no one would stay for over a month if given the choice. Don't even get me started on getting out of the contract. They auto-renew you unless you submit written notice 90-120 days prior to the end of the contract, during which time you will go back into auto re-new status if you submit any invoices that have not already been paid to Tafs by the broker. About a week before the contract ends, they will email you saying, among other things, that prior to getting you a letter of release, all unpaid invoices must be paid to Tafs, which they were and had been since 8-6. It was 9-3 at this point and my contact was set to end on 9-10 at midnight. It took them until 4 days after the contact had ended to open my account and see that the balance was 0 and send me the letter of release. So I can't buy fuel for 4 days because I was planning on those payments being mailed to me on the 12th, not the 17th. They delayed all my payments for 4 days because it takes them forever to read one number. That makes a total of 10 days of missed work because of them. That is the thanks I get for giving them about 4k in factoring fees, 3 months of which the funds were not even factored because I had to wait until they got paid first! And they have the nerve to refer to me as a valued client. I'm not valued, I'm a sap to them, meant to help them with their agenda. Now I will take home about $210 more per week not to deal with these clowns. Things are now the way they should have been all along if there was no such thing as lies.

Hey guys do not do business with TAFFS they stole 2500.00 from me, they said they sent it to the wrong carrier by mistake and that it is my responsibility to get it back from that carrier, and this is not the only problem I had with TAFFS there have been other instances of them stealing money also, beware they will ruin your business!

Buenas tardes hoy quiero expresar mi decepción con respecto a la compañía de Tafs dejaron mi compañía sin fondos habiendo biliado de la forma (Rush) el mismo día por un costo de 25 dólares y hace dos días no están los fondos disponibles , el número de rastreo del wire es falso y en el banco nunca he tenido problemas de esa naturaleza, sin temor a equivocarme están usando el dinero de unos carriers para cubrir a otros con bileos más grandes porque la compañía esta pasando por problemas de liquidez No Piensen en firmar con Ellos no son de fiar.

I just signed a contact that takes more than 2 weeks in The process, I was told that I was going to be founded next day after submitting paperwork, it’s been a week and I haven’t been lucky enough to see any money. Please go somewhere else, I wish a had never signed with this company. Now the agent who have me signed contract is not answering my calls.

The worst factoring ever.
