Well, Heather... if he did get one thing right in his interview it would be that he is most certainly sorry. A sorry man, a sorry business man, and probably pretty sorry in many other factors of his life.
And quite frankly, I really don't want to spend as much time as I do talking about him anymore. Who needs that kind of negativity in their lives? I most certainly do not. After all, he's the one who has to look at himself in the mirror each and every morning. And it is he who must face his truth. That is if he is even capable of doing that without screwing it up too. Just another reason man created prison. So crooks could have time to reflect on all of the wrongs they need to make right. __________________

Haha, naw, I'm all talk. But it definitely is reassuring to see that this case is FINALLY (6 months later) getting some exposure.

I agree. I just find it unnerving that I had to expose my personal life (my friends saw it, my colleagues saw it, etc.) in order to expose this crook and his lies. However, it is also my hopes that whoever processes the refunds at the State Bar's Client Security Fund saw it as well, and will contact us to at least let us know we will get a refund from them.

glad i found this site!
hey guys I just googled CP and found a link to this site. All i can say is wow! There is alot going on. Does anyone know where I can find information on what happened to CP? I'm pretty confused and am not sure what to do exactly (been trying to e-mail them for a while none of the e-mails went through). I payed around $3000 to $4000 to CP over a period of three years. And I know that at least one of my accounts was "setteled" but I haven't heard from any of the creditors that CP was representing me against. So any feedback or suggestions you guys could offer would be great.
Sincerely, Tristan

First off, you will not hear from any of your creditors, or at least you shouldn't hear from them. You have to contact them and give them written notice that you are no longer represented by counsel.
Second, contact the State Bar and file your Complaint so that you can then receive notice that they can not help you, and you can then file a claim with the Client Securities Fund with the California State Bar. Let us know if you still have more questions after this.

Thanks for your response! Since all of my original creditors have passed my accounts to different agencies what is the best way to find out who is handling my accounts?

Not sure what the best way is, I ended up pulling my 3 credit reports. You can usually find package deals online.

Tristan, try: https://www.annualcreditreport.com
By law, you are now entitled to pull a free report from each of the 3 bureaus on an annual basis. I did this initially. However, I now subscribe to a credit monitoring service (usually runs anywhere from $9 up per/mo, depending on who you chose). It's worth it for me. I like to know what's going on with my credit (especially since this CP business), and with the site I subscribe to I can also see my FICO scores (all 3) anytime I want to; no extra cost. __________________

Good news2
OMG! You won't believe this! Hey everyone, today I checked my mail and see a letter from The State Bar of CA. Thinking it was probably only an acknowledgement to my application, OR that that needed more documentation, or God forbid, they denied my claim. Low and behold!!! There is a check behind the "Congratulations" letter for my full refund!!!! No kidding! It's all there!!!!
I can't believ it! I'm guessing, perhaps, this news story that I interviewed for on CP only sped up the process, but it's only a guess. I have no ego, and I take no credit, but dang it if I didn't get a refund check from the Bar!!! Now it's only a matter of time for all of you who have gone through the same rigamaro bull, mountain of paperwork, craziness that I did, until you receive your checks! Honestly? I had my doubts. But it's here, black and white, and yes, it's a real check! Good luck to you all, really. Don't give up hope! I'll be sure to keep in touch via this site to give as much encouragement as I can. You are all deserving people and you work hard for your money to pay your bills and support your families. Don't give up! Heather and Ryno, thanks for the continued encouragement and for always putting this entire mess into perspective. If you have not gotten your money back yet, keep checking your mail boxes... it's on its way!  And to Troy Hall. You are up the creek with the State Bar. Somehow they are going to want all of that money back from you. "God bless" and good luck to you! And for anyone considering another debt consolidation type program? I can only say, use Consumer credit counseling (I only wish I had stuck with it initially, but opted for CP... ha!)!!! They are a non-profit, you can find them in any state, and they will pay your bills monthly (at a reduced rate with your creditors. And almost all creditors will coorperate with them) with the money you pay them every month (yes, it's safe). I would recommend NOT using another settlement attorney or likewise. I've learned my lesson. It's better to have crap credit that can be repaired, and your bills be paid MONTHLY, than to be screwed by another 'fly by night' company claiming they can 'settle' debts for you. Which by the way, you can do yourself and spare yourself the cost of ever going through this again. __________________

Congrats "Jenny"!! That's awesome!! All others, please post when you get the checks. They should be on the way. No reason why one would get denied, and others cleared. Anyone else get theirs? I'll be checking my mail everyday from now on.

I just got mine in the mail today!!!!! Good luck to all of you, it should only be a matter of days before everyone (that sent in an application) gets their checks!!!! I too will be checking in to see the progress. I'm just glad that we never gave up, it took all of us to get this far, I hate to admit it, but I would never have known where to start if I had not found this website. I luv ya guys!!!
