Voortman Cookies Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I was a distributor for Voortman cookie company that payed me by commission only. I noticed my numbers were not matching up so questioned my District Manager regarding this and he assured me he would look in to it . I continued to notice I was not being paid correctly. Nothing was resolved so I told them I was going to sell my route. I downloaded all my pay statements and I noticed that every payment I received was added back to my balance in my inventory. My DM told me they would add everything up and get back to me. I requested itemized statements. I requested this in March of 2015. Approximately November 2015, I received a bill for $10,000. I didn't respond because this was obviously not correct. In February 2016, Voortman sent me another bill for $900. They sent me to a collection agency now and they are trying to collect money that I absolutely do not owe them. I have all the documented proof necessary, including inventory sold. I also have proof in the payment history that Voortman stated they gave me a payment of $10,000 that I never received. I didn't receive a commission payment for months. They committed Forgery, Falsifying Documents and Breach of Contract."
