agency problems

Ok, I know I've seen it here before, but please, because I need to shove it down someone's throat (LaoLao and her friends at the agency causing the problems).

What authority does the agency for collection from the ladies after marriage? Do they have any leverage in Guangzhou? How can I politely and if they didn't listen, impolitely put them in their place?

For the record. When they gave my wife's Laolao my QQ and email, my profile status on ChnLove, was hidden. So this by my recollection is the individual agency, not that I'm not happy to have had my wife contact me, but we met outside the agency. I had no idea she was with the agency.

I do not have with me, copies of the couple emails we exchanged through the agency, but I do know that they were not written by my wife, because when she supposedly wrote and sent them from the agency, she was home, on QQ talking with me, via videochat. Had not even picked up the emails, so obviously she had not written the reply.

So there's the nutshell. I know Laolao is involved, even though she says she isn't. I also know the first woman I came to Handan to meet, is involved. She tried talking to me via QQ, but wouldn't get to the point. So I knew it was the agency.

All the help and advice I can receive is much appreciated. We would really rather put them in their place, right now, her mama is afraid the threats are correct. "If the agency calls Guangzhou, they can stop her Visa."

Thank you,
Lloyd and Yuan

Ahhhh... the Agency's favorite threat! No Pay "Us"--- No "Visa" This has been talked about here often and found out .. they do not have any authority what the Immigration Process concerns. Unless, you make it a Police Issue out of it and start doing a "Shark Attack" on someone from an Agency.
Anyway, if you have 100% Proof those letters were NOT from your LaoPo.. so how would this then make them involved in any way.. you two getting together? They are full of it and I don't mean your Money!

So as long as we don't do anything stupid that would bring the boys/girls in blue down on us. As I thought, they can bite it. Preferably one of those smelly little things the new puppy leaves around the house/neighborhood.
Thank you Arnold, the little woman just took a deep breath. Also thanks to Irish for the little flag working today. She seen the US flag and believes Arnold speaks the truth. I'll have to pull up the full feed from previous posts tomorrow, not working, but hey, I am getting my first haircut in China  :o  oh please don't let it be a gel experience like the photo studio, or the wedding.

Again, thanks,
Lloyd

Lloyd, here's a few points to make

1) Is there a contract? and does it say they can collect if there is a marriage?

2) Ask for a copy of their proper license to introduce foreigners to Chinese nationals?

here's the page that it was discussed on...   http://www.chnromance.com/index.php/topic,1936.msg32906.html#msg32906

guess you can pick up some more pointers there.

Neil:
Then again, this is China.  A little money in the right hands can change a lot of rules (or the promise of money, once you've paid). 

Since this is a two way street, have you thought about sitting down with whoever it is from the agency and talking to them?  Maybe grease their palm a bit.  Might save you some money, save them a lot of face, and maybe even cut out some of the middle men that seem to want a piece.

Just a thought.
