Can anyone verify the credibility of law firm

I hate it when companies ask for my social security number or passwords. But every week one company or the other asks for my ssn over the phone and i dont have any option but to give it to them in order to get their services.

Hi Thomas, companies make mistakes, what is important is how they deal with their mistakes. I think the company has shown character in recognizing and solving a problem in their process, so may be you should cut them slack.
it is true that the company has definitely shown character
it is true that the company has definitely shown character and compassion, but I also wanted feedback on the company. I have spent this much time and research and although there are already sources on BBB and their own websites, doing research online you???d also find out you pretty much don???t hear much about them in general. It is also very understandable that companies also make mistakes and I defiantly comprise on the degree of the mistake as well.
The thing that concerns me of the validity in their words, I do think the people that have tried to help me are all kind, knowledge, and well mannered. I don???t feel like I???m picking on the company as well, because I could very well just take my business elsewhere, however based on the research I???ve done it seems that their company ???may???, provide the most honest job as compared to the other companies that deal with credit settlement.
I pretty much feel like I would like to join their services, but I???m also concerned on the punishment that they claimed to do on that certain employee. From my knowledge it seems that person is pretty much terminated, but what I???m curious about is if this is officially true? I figure employee???s have some sort of system where there???s a certain amount of action before they can actually fire a person. However if I???m to view their web site, you can determine if a certain person is online, and also it seems these forums that I???m writing on that person that dealt with my situation is a moderator of these forums.
Basically it wouldn???t matter if they did or did not terminate a person, but if I???m told one thing which isn???t true, than that does concern me. I like flat out answers and actions when someone claims to do so. The manager of the company also kindly explained his concerns and expresses his apologizes and I do appreciate that. One comment he made that concerned me as well is that he stated that he can get phone numbers of successful people that have dealt with the company, maybe I???m over analyzing this phrase but people have privacy concerns to deal with in this type of situation. I personally wouldn???t want to have some random people contact me on how well the company has treated me on some random day and time. I do appreciate everyone???s time and consideration in listening to my concerns.
I'm with this company Right now and I have 4 accounts.
I'm with them Right now and I have 4 accounts. They already settled one after 8 months, a $9,000 debt and they settled it for $1800. That's freaking amazing!!! I was so shocked at the outcome but Its pretty sweet.
I would highly recommend the company as they are always open for calls and are easy to reach, understanding, and very nice.

allow me to set this straight.alot of middle easterners use american interpretations of their different names.a mechanic i go to calls himself sam,but his real name is something different.i don't understand the problem,or issue here.yes the company is in this country,and yes they outsource some work,but they are in this country.

I thought they were a law firm. How can they outsource anything? I don't know about California, but I know a lawyer in New Jersey that was disbarred for letting non-lawyers do collection work under his name. Unless you mean they farm it out to another law firm. Is that what they do?

oakview is a firm that does debt settlement/relief for people.as far as i know they might outsource their billing and that's it.they are not collectors nor act as such.they have never misrepresented anything as far as some collectors do.why don't you e-mail vikas.he will give you the straught dope.oakview is not like the scam that has been all over this and other sites i assure you.

I wasn't trying to say or even imply that they were a scam. I don't know a great deal about the law firm other than what I've read on this site. I was just confused when you said they outsource because I didn't think law firms were allowed to outsource the way other types of businesses can.

I have not used this firm; however I have been pulled into an ongoing scam which is very similar to the one Thomas had spoke about earlier--one in which I have been threatened with everything from lawsuits to incarceration if I don't pay on a pdl which they won't tell me with whom. Every person who calls has an American name with an Indian accent. And---not everyone with a middleeastern name uses an American derivative--I know many middleeasterners who are very proud of their name and don't create american derivatives. That point notwithstanding, I have spoke to many others who have been experiencing these ploys. I do know that there are companies actively seeking a solution to this problem of fradulent business practices. Many of these scams are moving targets so it is hard to get them but the cause continues.
If you truly owe money, find a legitimate lawyer in your community who handles financial issues like this and seek his help. KIf it sounds to good to be true, it probably is! At one time I looked at a firm that I found out later was not even recognized in my state and therefore would not have been able to help me. Call your state attorney's office or department of financial institutions for their consult. I find it really hard to believe that a debt settlement company settled someone's $9000 debt for $1800 and did not make a penny on it. I hope the person who paid the $1800 got a receipt from the company with whom the debt was paid.
Be wise and be careful. Watch out who you give your information to.
Also-why would any company offer 24/7 assistance and then have someone on the phone line who does not know what he/she is doing.
By the way, I did track one individual's name to find out that the American name was actually of a government employee in the area. I have now sent an email to this man to let him know his name is being used in a fraudulent scam.

yep these scams get people's info from illegal ipdl's.these places either sell,or give it it to the scam.they threaten everything under the sun to get people's bank info.our gov't should do something about it.enough FTC complaints,and they will.that is why me,and others advise filing FTC complaints as well as police reports for any threats.then we say hang up on them.yes these place are complete scams and should treated as such.
What's going to happen with the firm under the new FTC rules?
What's going to happen with the firm under the new FTC rules? I just read that debt settlement law firms are considered the same as debt settlement companies and have to change their entire payment structure. Some of the debt settlement people are saying that the new rules will kill debt settlement.
It is a coincident that when this firm is involved
It is a coincident that when this firm is involved and you get the foreign harassment calls at the same time. I have gotten them. Please do not pay any attention to these calls. Just keep hanging up on the. I really do think they are coming from the company. Everyone that works at the company talks in a fluent american accent.
my story
Hi,
I set settlement with this law firm in November of 2012. My debt was over $3,000. They put extra $3,000 as fees from Pay Day Loans. Now I owe them $6,000? It sounds fishy to me.I live in New York and after search about laws on PDL they are not legit doing business in New York. So now I am trying to cancel deal with them and looking for refund.
