I would like to report being threatened with a lawsuit for a debt I do not owe by a company I have never heard of. I always keep a record of my purchases with copies of the inoviice for the amount that will be due upon receipt of the purchased goods.
The products I am being asked to pay for are Encante Eye Cream for $99.01 and Encante Skin Cream for $98.71. I would never place an order for any facial creams in that price range. I cannot afford it.
I have no information regarding dates of the purchases.
I ordered 2 samples,the one time cost of $10.00 was paid at the time of the order by my credit/debit card. There was no shipping or auto-pay (i double checked prior to confirming the order) I received the products,later than i was told to expect them,and used the products. Personally I was not impressed,but I was only out $10.00..so it wasnt a big deal. However,i received a bill from DAR Waterfront & Associates saying I owe $197.72! the cost for the products was paid at time of order! This company is NOT getting one cent from me!!
Just another face cream ripoff. Bella Essence sent me product I didn't order and didn't want along with a bill for $99.01 I called to tell them I would not pay for something I didn't order and I would return the product. They said I could keep it and they would take me off their list. I tossed the cream in the trash and assumed that was the end of it. Then I get a collection notice months later from Dar Waterfront & Associates. I called and got a rcorded message to go to a website to dispute the claim. The website doesn't exist. I am filing a consumer fraud report with the Diatrict Attorney.
This is a rip off. I never ordered any product from this company, never recieved any product. I always cancel any E-mail I get from these kind of companies. Beware of all the internet cheaters. I will not pay their fraudulent bill. They got my credit card number somehow?
Received a notice that were sold my account in the amount of $98.71 for skin care product that I neither ordered or received. No bills ever received from anyone.
FRAUD!! This co should be shut down immediately and all the companies they represent.!. It is new co probably started to represent the fake co. and harrass people who have filed claims against them !!
DO not order anything that is advertised on the computer, it is a trap.. send a sample then immediately send another order that has an exorbitant price. In their ads there it does not states that another product will be send nor is there a price. This is fraudulent advertising... ALSO no where on the packing slip is there any information.. It appears these so called companies are in california. Many names on the products. The products I received had different names on them. It took me 4 months to get the charge removed from my credit card. I also reported it to credit rating companies. THe product is not any better if as good as ones you can purchase locally,,, IT is all fraud!!!!!!
This company is attempting to collect for a product that was not shipped.
i went on their website because you can not talk to a human on the phone and they provided a tracking number whcih confirms the product was not shipped.
please take a min to report this company to the california attorney general.
it takes TWO minutes and the more complaints against them the better chances we have at getting the state involved.
I ordered a free sample of eye cream from an online company and all I paid was the shipping. Several weeks after I received I got a bill for $99 for a monthly shipment of more eye cream. I called the company and they explained that when I ordered the free sample I also signed up for monthly delivery. I told them that is not what I wanted and they should cancel any subscription they had for me. They said that since the free sample was really the regular store size I would have to return it to have the charges stopped. I immediately sent it back and also called my credit union requesting the charge not be paid. They sent me a letter saying thet would dispute the charge and until it was resolved it would remain on my bill and I should not pay it. Eventually the Credit Union notified me that the dispute was resolved in my favor and the charge was removed. Now, about a year later I get this letter saying I owe $99.01 and it was turned over to a collection agency...DAR Waterfront & Associates. I prepared a letter to reply to them but then decided to search their name on the internet and landed on your website and see that the whole thing looks like a scam. I am not going to reply.
Received a collect notice from Dar Waterfront and Associates, but when I tried to contact them you can't. It's only a recording so I went to the website they gave on the recording and surprise surprise nota valid website. It was for a product that was never ordered. I sent off for a sample and canceled it and that was that. Now over a year later this scam comes. Beware of them
*I only received the sample and paid the shipping fee I do not owe anything this is a rip off a scam I wouldn't order anything that expense I dont have that kind of money . Charging me for something i didnt receive. I only receive a sample and paid the shipping haven't receive anything since*
I ordered a free sample of Luminis Facial Treatment and I only needed postage and handling charges. I canceled any more products because I had a allergic reaction to the day treatment and the night serum. I received a collection notice today 7/5/17 for the amount of $197.72. I never received anymore products from them. Nor any further communication from Luminis. I tried to get them by phone, but only got a recording.
Please report any and all scams from this company to the california state general. The more reports the better chance we have at the state taking action. What these companies are doing is not right. We can't allow this to continue.
These people sent me a billing for $98.71 and when I tried to call them to tell them that I have never heard of them there was no answer. The recording simply said you have 30 days to dispute in writing before it goes to Collections. Big SCAM...
Received a collection notice from dar waterfront & associates asking for 99.01 from Bella Essence eye cream. I don't use eye cream and never received a bill for the product. It feels like a scam.
I received a bill for $197.72 for eye cream and anti aging ink serum. Never ordered it never heard of it never received it. Can't get through on number noted on threading letter. All you get is a recording advising if you want to dispute you can go on web site to do so. Web site address is bogus! Very worried about my credit report being charged!! Tones of stuff on internet about company being yogis. Please help! Thanks Karla
Nuvajen Gold anti aging serum is a scam company, they tell you to try a free sample of their product and then never send you a bill.
Then the next thing you know you are receiving a letter from Dar Waterfront and associates, which claims to be a collections company.
I advise everyone to stay away from this comany, they are scam artist. I will be taking them to court, I'm sure they are in court on a regular bases, doing business like this.
I have received a collection for $98.71 that I do not owe. I called the company that the collection agency is using and the said I don't owe them anything either. I can not contact the collection agency by phone to talk to anyone or by website as it does not exist. I don't know how these crooks get my name and address to be able to try and scam me out of money I do not owe. There must be some way of stopping the scamming that is taking place every time you turn around. I am on a limited income so $98.71 is a lot of money for me to pay out when I don't owe it. No one has a conscience anymore. They take and don't care that you can't meet you bills because of the crooks trying to lie about money I don't owe. I called the company they are trying to collect for and told them they are being misrepresented. Beware everyone out there this collection agency is a scam.
In Nov 2016, I purchased an anti-aging facial cream advertised as free, pay shipping and handling, which I did with a Visa card. On Dec 14, 2016, I called the company and cancelled my order. I was told I owed $98.71 so I paid that with my Visa card. I received a cancellation number for the product. On June 21,2017, I receive a letter from DAR Waterfront & Associates reporting I owe $98.71. I called the company I paid the money to, and was told I already paid and they did not put me through a collections agency. I tried several times calling this DAR company but all you can do is pay the bill. You can't get through to speak with anyone.
I am being charged for something called Bella essence eye cream. I have never heard of this. Hence I never sent for or received this item. I don't like someone trying to take advantage of me.
This company is a scam I was involved in the free bottle Gimic and then turned around from what I remember & told them to cancel I changed my mind but was told by the second person I could do that. I had to get my bank involved the fraud department who was nice enough to assist and get the actual company of the phone advising I canceled this from the start never wanted it. Now I get a 98.71 collection notice from Dar Waterfront & Associates. I see from the internet this company is a scam trying to go after consumers. I have no plans on paying for something I did not want. Thank you
I received a Past due notice to collect a debt. I had no idea what it was talking about. I have never ordered any eye cream or skin care products in my life. Never heard of this company. Tried to get ahold of someone and of course you can,t. This whole process is new to me. I could never afford this,. Hopefully this can be resolved because is totally a scam and wrong.
I received a letter "This is an attempt to collect a past due balance".

I had purchased samples of: Luminous eye treatment items which are around $6 shipping Items were free only shipping. No mention of paying for items just shipping... Thus this is fraud on a grand level. The company and is a fraud Scamming people to get money far waterfront should be prosecuted.. The phone # and web site Only let's you pay. The dispute site tells you to write to them in 30 days....and the dispute site is not working (www.darwaterfront.com/dispute)
DAR Waterfront & Associates sent me a notice of attempt to collect a past due balance ( $ 198.71) for products from "Luminis Facial" which I did not ask for and did not receive.
In September 2016 they ran a special for free products and you pay the shipping of $5.99, which I did. I did not get on a reaccuring list to receive products monthly, so I never got anything else. I was told I don't owe them andthing nor was I billed. Customer support told me she has been with the company for a long time and she never heard that they turned accounts over to collection agency.
I also received a bill from DAR Waterfront & Associates for a product that I did not order. There was an offer to receive a jar of Luminis Facial Cream ( just pay shippiing & handling of $5.99, which I did). No further orders received and never received a bill for anything. This year, received a letter for past due balance of $197.72 from this collection agency.
When you call the number, its automated and says if they don't hear from you in writing within 30 days, this office will obtain a copy of judgment. SCAM SCAM
DAR Waterfront & Associates sent me an Attempt to Collect letter for a membership or product that I did not authorize. Belle Époque was the company who offered a free trial of their product with only a shipping charge that I paid. I have email correspondence proving this and even a cancellation of order. That company has attempted to charge my credit card for a membership fee or product fee of $99.01. My bank denied the charge for the $99.01 immediately and them confirmed with me that this charge was a scam. I confirmed. Now I see that this Notice of Attempt to Collect is also a fraud. These companies should be prosecuted for all the people that they have ripped off with their calls, ads and notices.

it was a promo that i brought. one time and paid for. never agian received a letter stating that i had a past due balance until i received this letter from a collector stating i owed 197.72. This company DAR Waterfront & Associates is trying to collect a past due amount from a creditor company called EyeVibe in the amount of $98.71. It says I can make a secure payment online at their website or make a payment by phone but the phone number or mail in a payment to the address provided. When I called the phone number I could get a hold of no actual physical person and I have never in my life heard of a company or had any purchase with a company called EyeVibe. I believe this is a scandal to get peoples money.
I called the number (1-800-289-5916) on the letter and the recording said I could only dispute in writing by sending a letter to:
DAR Waterfront & Associates 13547 Ventura Blvd., Suite 350 Sherman Oaks, CA 91423

Dar Waterfront & Associates is a scam. call your state to report. Dar is attempting to extort me for 99.01 for something I did not order and never heard of the company. If you receive this Notice immediately report it to your state consumer affairs.
I received a collection notice for $197.72 that I received once and paid for. It was a promo for a free sample and only had to pay postage. I never received anything after this but kept getting charged on a monthly basis on bank report. Called the company and was told they would take it off and it was a mistake Kept getting charged so called bank to stop payment. I have excellent credit and am RETIRED and this is a concern re: my credit and is obviously fraud!
Dar waterfront &Associates are trying to exstort money for an account that doesnt exist, i paid for my product with debit card in full. No credit involved. Plus this has been two years ago at least, why would they buy an account from someone else who never tried to collect?? (*Because there is no account owed*)
Saw offer on internet for free trail offer for eye serum just pay postage done with credit card; received small tube of serum in small vanilla envelope did no rec any other products.did not hear anymore from company untill july 1st 2017 attempt to collect. apparent acct was sold to this company dar waterfront and assoc.
DAR Waterfront tried to collect a payment of $99.01 which they claimed was an attempt to collect a past due balance for an entity that does not exist as far as I can tell-- Belle Epoque.
Dar Waterfront & Associates is attempting to collect money that I turned in on credit card fraud. Belle Epoque & Luminous Facial Treatment both used my credit card info fraudulently. Now have sent me to collections. I contacted my bank of credit card fraud and they have reversed charges from these companies and informed them of fraud.
Receved a bill from DAR Waterfront acting as a debt collector for Luminis skin products I did not order. When I called the Customer Support at Luminis they had no record that I was billed for the two products. They are Luminis Facial Treatment and Belle Epoque. In September 2016 they ran a special for free products and you pay the shipping of $5.99, which I did.
I did not get on a reaccuring list to receive products monthly, so I never got anything else. I was told I don't owe them andthing nor was I billed. Customer support told me she has been with the company for a long time and she never heard that theyturned accounts over to collection agency.
We have lawyers in my city that deals with ripoffs, I am contacting them right away too
I too received the "attempt to collect a past due balance". I looked over my credit card charges for the past 6 months and have not been billed for these products. I seem to be a victim of scammers also. So I'll check my credit score, and forget this happened......
I just received a letter from a so-called collection company claiming they were representing a creditor for bella essence eye cream. They are trying to get me to send them money for something I never ordered. They sent this box to me and when I told them that I didn't order it, they wanted me to pay to return it to them. I refuse to pay for something I never ordered or pay to send it back to them.
Yesterday, I received a very official looking "time-sensitive" letter. It was on pink paper, from this company, attempting to collect a mysterious debt in the amount of 99.01. It is on behalf of "Belle Epoque". I do not know nor have I heard of this company-ever. I have not authorized the payment of such an amount for any goods or services.
Im reporting the letter I received in the mail informing me that I have a past due balance of 105.79 to DAR Waterfront through eyevibe instructing me to send a written letter stating it's not me or it will be sent to my creditors if I doubt pay and I have never dealt with this company nor do I have a balance owed. The phone number doesn't connect me to a live person in order to dispute it over the phone.

I have never heard of DAR WAterfront, Belle Epoque, or Luminis Facial Treatment nor have I ever purchased anything with that name. I am an elderly person on a fixed income and I and my daughter watch my funds closely.
One thing I find interesting is that they did not spell my last name correct. Maybe that was my first clue that this was not legit.
I called the number (1-800-289-5916) on the letter and the recording said I could only dispute in writing by sending a letter to:

Just received a collection notice, that I never received a bill for any product. Sometime in late 2016 I signed up for a free sample of skin whitening serum. I was to pay shipping charges only, which was pre-paid. I received the product. At no time did they say there would be additional charges. I did not receive any additional products, nor did I receive an additional Invoice.
Collection notice is for the following:
Luminis Facial Treatment $98.71

I am writing the requested letter of dispute to DAR Waterfront next and it may not be their fault that they may be the unwitting recipiant of a improper debt from their customer but one way or the other I see scores of these scam reports in here about DAR Waterfront so it looks like they are not so innocent.
Its a rip off i dnt owe i was charged on my credit card $198 fir pills i didnt want still after cancelling i was charged now they want 98.00 more they are crazy
I received a letter today saying that I owed $99.01. Does not say what the collection is for, but some of your posts have me recalling the same free sample and paying for shipping only. What are others doing regarding this? Will it affect our credit?
This company says I owe a bill when I cancelled the the product 2 weeks after receiving it and sent it back, which was way over 1-2 years ago. Never heard of this before.
DAR Waterfront & Assoc. mailed me a debt collection letter that looks legit, but I know that I bought skin care products at my doctor's office: Skin Element cream and EyeVibe. I knew right away something wasn't kosher so I called the designated phone number and got a recording requesting payment by phone or online. The recording also noted that if I had a dispute, I could go to their Web site and get more info. Not so. There is only one Web page, and it only gives out payment info. These people are real sleezy.

That company has attempted to charge my credit card for a membership fee or product fee of $99.01. My bank denied the charge for the $99.01 immediately and them confirmed with me that this charge was a scam. I confirmed. Now I see that this Notice of Attempt to Collect is also a fraud. These companies should be prosecuted for all the people that they have ripped off with their calls, ads and notices.
Theirs 197.72 being charged to me for a facial treatment. Never done that in my life.
I received a letter "This is an attempt to collect a past due balance".

it was a promo that i brought. one time and paid for. never agian received a letter stating that i had a past due balance until i received this letter from a collector stating i owed 197.72. This company DAR Waterfront & Associates is trying to collect a past due amount from a creditor company called EyeVibe in the amount of $98.71. It says I can make a secure payment online at their website or make a payment by phone but the phone number or mail in a payment to the address provided. When I called the phone number I could get a hold of no actual physical person and I have never in my life heard of a company or had any purchase with a company called EyeVibe. I believe this is a scandal to get peoples money.
I called the number (1-800-289-5916) on the letter and the recording said I could only dispute in writing by sending a letter to:
DAR Waterfront & Associates 13547 Ventura Blvd., Suite 350 Sherman Oaks, CA 91423
or by going to darwaterfront.com/dispute and when I go to that website I get: NOT FOUND

Payment
What have i owed you for?
I did not order any thing ?
Dar Waterfront & Associates is a scam. call your state to report. Dar is attempting to extort me for 99.01 for something I did not order and never heard of the company. If you receive this Notice immediately report it to your state consumer affairs.
I received a collection notice for $197.72 that I received once and paid for. It was a promo for a free sample and only had to pay postage. I never received anything after this but kept getting charged on a monthly basis on bank report. Called the company and was told they would take it off and it was a mistake Kept getting charged so called bank to stop payment. I have excellent credit and am RETIRED and this is a concern re: my credit and is obviously fraud!
I received a notice from Dar Waterfront & Associates dated 6/11/17
stating I am past due in paying $105.79 for EyeVibe and $97.83
for SkinElement.
I never ordered these products at these prices, and will instruct
my bank that these are fraudulent charges if my account is charged.
Dar waterfront &Associates are trying to exstort money for an account that doesnt exist, i paid for my product with debit card in full. No credit involved. Plus this has been two years ago at least, why would they buy an account from someone else who never tried to collect?? (*Because there is no account owed*)
Saw offer on internet for free trail offer for eye serum just pay postage done with credit card; received small tube of serum in small vanilla envelope did no rec any other products.did not hear anymore from company untill july 1st 2017 attempt to collect. apparent acct was sold to this company dar waterfront and assoc.
DAR Waterfront tried to collect a payment of $99.01 which they claimed was an attempt to collect a past due balance for an entity that does not exist as far as I can tell-- Belle Epoque.
Dar Waterfront & Associates is attempting to collect money that I turned in on credit card fraud. Belle Epoque & Luminous Facial Treatment both used my credit card info fraudulently. Now have sent me to collections. I contacted my bank of credit card fraud and they have reversed charges from these companies and informed them of fraud.
Receved a bill from DAR Waterfront acting as a debt collector for Luminis skin products I did not order. When I called the Customer Support at Luminis they had no record that I was billed for the two products. They are Luminis Facial Treatment and Belle Epoque. In September 2016 they ran a special for free products and you pay the shipping of $5.99, which I did.
I did not get on a reaccuring list to receive products monthly, so I never got anything else. I was told I don't owe them andthing nor was I billed. Customer support told me she has been with the company for a long time and she never heard that theyturned accounts over to collection agency.
We have lawyers in my city that deals with ripoffs, I am contacting them right away too
DARWaterfront and assoc.
I too received the "attempt to collect a past due balance". I looked over my credit card charges for the past 6 months and have not been billed for these products. I seem to be a victim of scammers also. So I'll check my credit score, and forget this happened......
I just received a letter from a so-called collection company claiming they were representing a creditor for bella essence eye cream. They are trying to get me to send them money for something I never ordered. They sent this box to me and when I told them that I didn't order it, they wanted me to pay to return it to them. I refuse to pay for something I never ordered or pay to send it back to them.
Yesterday, I received a very official looking "time-sensitive" letter. It was on pink paper, from this company, attempting to collect a mysterious debt in the amount of 99.01. It is on behalf of "Belle Epoque". I do not know nor have I heard of this company-ever. I have not authorized the payment of such an amount for any goods or services.
Im reporting the letter I received in the mail informing me that I have a past due balance of 105.79 to DAR Waterfront through eyevibe instructing me to send a written letter stating it's not me or it will be sent to my creditors if I doubt pay and I have never dealt with this company nor do I have a balance owed. The phone number doesn't connect me to a live person in order to dispute it over the phone.
I received a letter "This is an attempt to collect a past due balance".

I have never heard of DAR WAterfront, Belle Epoque, or Luminis Facial Treatment nor have I ever purchased anything with that name. I am an elderly person on a fixed income and I and my daughter watch my funds closely.
One thing I find interesting is that they did not spell my last name correct. Maybe that was my first clue that this was not legit.

Just received a collection notice, that I never received a bill for any product. Sometime in late 2016 I signed up for a free sample of skin whitening serum. I was to pay shipping charges only, which was pre-paid. I received the product. At no time did they say there would be additional charges. I did not receive any additional products, nor did I receive an additional Invoice.
Collection notice is for the following:
Luminis Facial Treatment $98.71
Balance $98.71
Previous Account# 1951783

I am writing the requested letter of dispute to DAR Waterfront next and it may not be their fault that they may be the unwitting recipiant of a improper debt from their customer but one way or the other I see scores of these scam reports in here about DAR Waterfront so it looks like they are not so innocent.
Its a rip off i dnt owe i was charged on my credit card $198 fir pills i didnt want still after cancelling i was charged now they want 98.00 more they are crazy
Dar Waterfront & Associates, Inc.
I received a letter today saying that I owed $99.01. Does not say what the collection is for, but some of your posts have me recalling the same free sample and paying for shipping only. What are others doing regarding this? Will it affect our credit?
This company says I owe a bill when I cancelled the the product 2 weeks after receiving it and sent it back, which was way over 1-2 years ago. Never heard of this before.
DAR Waterfront & Assoc. mailed me a debt collection letter that looks legit, but I know that I bought skin care products at my doctor's office: Skin Element cream and EyeVibe. I knew right away something wasn't kosher so I called the designated phone number and got a recording requesting payment by phone or online. The recording also noted that if I had a dispute, I could go to their Web site and get more info. Not so. There is only one Web page, and it only gives out payment info. These people are real sleezy.
