Schim21,

I sent a formal compalint in to Nevada, with many supporting documents, and I received a letter from the Consumer Affairs Division saying...
"A careful evaluation of your complaint has been made. It has been determined that the address in Carson City, Nevada is the business' resident agent & mail forwarding address. The business appears to be operating out of Scottsdale, Arizona. Therefore, the division has determined that the proper agency to assist you in resolving the matter is:
State of Arizona
Office of the Attorney General
ATTN: COnsumer Information & COmplaints
1275 W. Washington Ave., Room 259
Pheonix, AZ 85007
(410) 542-5763

Therefore, we have requested they review your complaint to determine if they can assist you. To facilitate that end we are forwarding a copy of the information you sent the division.

Mike Hastings
Deputy Chief Investigator"

SO I called Mr. Hastings, who was not the friendliest guy in the world, and he gave me the name & number of the paralegal in Arizona who tried them. He said Sue Hill at 602-542-8889. SO I kept calling and finally Craig Rabey called me back. Turns out the number I was calling is his direct number & Sue hill worked under him and he was involved in the case. He is the one that said there is nothing Arizona can do for me now that the case is closed and they got restitution for those injured parties involved with the case at that time. He says in this case the State Banking Dept of Arizona & The States Attorney's Office for Arizona were basically one in the same and that neither could help me or re-try them in court. SO UNFAIR!!! Especially since there was never any notification about this law suit. He said the only way to get at them in court is if my states attorney's office would sue them or a private attorney. He told me I could call the Americopa Bar Association (in Arizona) and for $45.00 they will listen to my case and refer me to a lawyer suitable for this kind of case. Like the rest of you, I have been trying to avoid the attorney route because of fees but maybe if there is enough of us, we could all chip in and contribute to a legal team that would help us out. I have written to 2 congressmen inmy state, as well as my States' Attorney's Office and it turns out that my info was sent to Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation. They sent Ms. Stanton a letter. They too told me I should get an attorney. Also, One of my Congressmen sent my info to a chairmen at the FTC...
Ms. Deborah P. Majoras
Chairmen
Federal Trade Commission
600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20580-0002

I urge everyone to try an write Ms. Majoras a letter in the next few days... even if you already have submitted a complaint to the FTC. Maybe if enough people target this one representative to receive our letters at the FTC, it will finally bring it to someone's attention.

I have a certified receipt showing that they received my cancellation letter on June 13th, 2005.... so I have been at this for about 5 months now on trying to get my funds or response.

Wow I went to school with Hyla. Her maiden name is Strauss and she is from the Dallas, TX area. When I did a search on her on Google the other day I couldn't believe what I read. She was a New Waver type in High School, then she went off to be a Stripper in Dallas. I don't think she has any Formal Education. Maybe she can get some behind bars.

I don't understand where RMP is operating..If MMG/RMP cannot do business in Arizona, and RMP is a mailservice.. Can they be doing business out of their home? if so then aren't they breaking the consent order because there home is in AZ.. Jo Schmo, If you are still there, do you know if Hyla has any other debt management business out there, besides, the MMG/RMP...

I agree with you swtgal77, i just sent another complaint to the attorney general office in arizona and said the same thing. They were ordered to cease all business and refund money and pay a fine but i was still sending payments after that order was given because i did not know about all of that until after the fact and look how many people has posted just in the last month or so that they have cancelled with mmg/rmp after having the same problems that we have. We cannot give up on this though. There will be a suite out of this. I just got a letter from one of my senators today asking permission from me to investigate this and i am sending it out with my permission in the morning. This company will be found out by the right person and then it will be our turn, i still haven't heard from the 2 lawyers i contacted maybe they are also checking them out. We have got to keep hanging in there for each other. Where is citikid lately? Haven't heard anything from that person for a while .

Hi madmom, isn't it crazy, I just don't understand how they can get away with are money like that, and then all of sudden seem to run out of money.. I wonder if anyone even knows where or what are money was used for.. the banking commission? Ftc? attorney general? and how do they seem to get away, with just penalties, shouldn't "she, or "they be behind bars by now. You know darn well they'll just do the same thing again........ Sorry, just had to vent a little bit!! That is great your senator is wanting an investigation, finally someone who is willing to help.. good luck, let us know what comes up...

Swtgal77, yes i will let everyone know. I sent a copy of the order from the banking commissioner, copy of every payment i made with no debts settled, told him to see if they were licensed in our state,copy of emails that i got from hyla, finance , everything that i could get my hands on i sent. I told him of all the others out of state and told him that it was unfair to all of us that didn't file in the early stages because we didn't know about the suite until it was too late. I just pray it helps but at least he is interested or he wouldn't have sent me the letter would he now.let's keep our fingers crossed and he is a well known senator. In my opionion pretty powerful. I sure hope he is in this big mess.

she has a high school diploma (GED). No college.

Hey, me again, okay, everyone that is interested, pm me, I have a phone number for the IRS, I've reported them as committing tax fraud... it's worth a shot and if our money is not going into these trust accounts and going to a personal account, the IRS should be able to find that out.

OK so I will continue to contact lawyers for a class action suit. my paralegal friend said it takes a lot of people and money..I said we have the people but will need to see about the money part...I hope to find someone by next week...maybe that is optimistic but I will try..i wlll keep everyone posted as I know more

Just @#%$!# shoot me! I trusted my money to a high school drop out turned stripper.

Don't worry Idiot, (jeeze, that sounds terrible) we are all with you on that one. A BUNCH of us are. I read the ARizona report and saw that institutions like Bank of America, American Express, Credit Unions, etc. recommended these people to their clients who needed assistance. Do not blame yourself. PM me and I will get you the IRS info, thus far they have been very interested.

i called the IRS and filed a complaint as well...I would be very surprised if they did not look into any of the companies and/or Hyla herself.

Hello everyone, and to the person that called themselves idiot, i guess great minds think alike because honey we are all in the same old boat with this. The stanton's will have to pay for all the lies, this country frowns on tax dodging. I wouldn't want to be them if they have been cheating the government. That could be real biggggggg trouble. I hope they get everything that they deserve for all their conning and scamming over the years. It will catch up with them and this may be it. People are fed up and want their money back and want justice done in this little scam.

Jen2,
Please read your PM

Hello Everyone, well, here is another avenue, the arizona department of revenue if you'd like the email address, please pm me and I'll send it on.
mad mom, did you get my pm?

I started with MMG back in August of 2004, I found them through LowerMyBills.com so who should also be held responsible for promoting this unprofessional, lying, irresponsible company. A couple of months into the program my situation got worse and I called and said I needed to close my account. I sent the letter back which they claim they never received. I have been waiting for my refund since June 2005. My money situation is worse than ever and now I have no choice but to file bankrupcy. Can someone give me the web addresses for the Arizon BBB and the Arizona General Attorney's Office so I can file complaints. Someone please help. =o(
