Uhm...I don't have any suggestions for the class action lawsuit...but I think we all need to get each others info to be on the safe side.
What if for some reason this forum shuts down, and we can no longer communicate?? I mean sometimes I think to myself, at least I am not alone on this, and thats what helps me get through. If it weren't for all of you, I don't know what I would do. Although all of us "STRANGERS" have not had any resoultion to any of this, its nice to know we are in communication and trying to figure this out together. I worry that one day I will logg in, and this forum won't be here anymore.....{I'm dealing with trust factors now} So maybe we can figure out how we can all get each others emails and info..so we can always be in contact, "just in Case"

Anyone else receive an aknowledgement from the Client Security Fund? Looks like I'm going to have to call them and follow up since I didn't get anything back. Bummer.

Was Credit Partnership a credit consolidation or a debt reduction/settlement company?

Tia,

You can check BBB website to know the nature of business of the company.

Add another $5,000 to that estimate of the money they took just from people writing here. I'm a college student who gave them at least that and am assuming they settled my two smaller debts but have no idea how much they still owe me... Guess the local P.D. is the next stop..

Guest,

Do you have any record of your payment? If a business takes money from you and does not return the service or product that you expected, you can file complaint against them with Consumer Protection Office of your state. Also consider contacting BBB, FTC. Keep us posted with this.

Susie:

I just noticed this on-line at the State Bar's website, it seems to back up our understanding that we should be able to get out money back.

"Is Discipline of the Lawyer Needed?

The fund can reimburse you only if a lawyer lost your money or property through an act of theft, or an act equivalent to theft, and has been disciplined. So, unless the lawyer resigned from the bar, died, or was found guilty or liable in court on charges relating to your application, you cannot be reimbursed until the lawyer is disciplined through the Attorney Discipline System."

Hi Heather,

And that is the question of the day, isn't it? Is he being disciplined? The State Bar site says: Disciplinary and Related Actions 1/27/2006 Vol.inactive(tender of resign.w/charges) 06-Q-10381 Not Eligible To Practice Law.

What the heck is that supposed to mean; Resign w/charges? Does this mean he is going to be disciplined or already has been?

Anyone know anything about this? We could pull the records, but it costs anywhere up to $30 and I don't know if I'm quite willing to put any more money into this thing.

I received "the letter" from the State Bar regarding them receiving my paperwork, etc., etc. We'll just see what happens I guess. I wish all of you the best as well! Hang tight and keep checking this site for updates from your fellow "want my money back" bloggers.

Well, I was trying to post a reply but I keep getting the message "Sorry for the inconvenience, we have applied a spam filter. Please contact the admin for more details."

Ok, so I guess my post was just too long, so let me abbreviate it. My response form the State Bar claims that they are awaiting a ruling from the California Supreme Court w/ regards to Mr. Hall. Which probably means that eventually his status on the Bar's website will say "not eligible to practice law in California, pursuant to CA Supreme Crt."

Also, I think that I may have reached Mr. Hall on Friday...I tried calling his house # and it rang and rang and you know. Well not 10 min later I received a call from a guy saying he got a call and was on the other line and did not answer it. He asked about my company name and was not too happy when he found out it was a law office that specializes in civil litigation. The guy would not give me his name or phone number but I know that no one else made any calls during that time frame. I hope he is sh%&&%ng bricks now.

I have been searching for others that have been through what I have. I'm so happy to see Im not alone. I checked cp's website recently and copied all my info I was upset before that I didnt have any records to prove other than a few bank statments. I totally trusted this company for 4 and a half years with $6209 in and when I wised in Nov. after a year of no settling with my creditors I wanted my money back, I was told to hold on a few more weeks they are talking with creditors and will settle that week. I called back got answering message , I emailed no reponse. I wanted a refund it was to late they shut down. Thank you for all you helpful info I have got my forms and sending it in this week. Good luck to you all.

Hey, has anyone actually filed a police report for this? I'm still not sure which police department to contact. Murrieta, El Cajon, or Temecula? Let me know if anyone has had success in filing one yet. thanks.

heather perez · Posted: Wed Mar 08, 2006 11:09 am Subject:

I just got off the phone w/ Murrieta PD and the officer that I spoke w/ was too busy dunkin his donut. He trid to tell me that Mr. Hall's taking the money was not a crime that it was strictly a civil matter. So, I guess now I call El Cajon PD and Temecula PD and see if I have better luck w/ those, if not I guess I can try Fresno PD and see if I can file a report w/ them. I want this idiot to actually have a criminal record resulting from this.

Susie · Posted: Wed Mar 08, 2006 11:14 am Subject:

Initially I tried to file a police report with the Murriet Police Dept but they were clueless as to what I was trying to ask of them. "You want to file a criminal complaint?", they would ask me. "Uh, yes", I would say, and then I would be transfered to some other department who had no idea what I was trying to accomplish. That's when I was directed to the State Licensing department and was told that Mr. Hall never even had a business license to practice business in the state of CA. hhhmmm?

But I did file complaints with the BBB, FTC, the State's Atty General and, of course, our favorite, the State Bar of CA. And although they all sent me letters saying they were sorry this had happened, there really was not much they could do about it except put in on file. What? Then what are they good for is my question? Sad, very sad, this whole situation.

So good luck to whomever does try and file a criminal complaint with the police. They have no idea how to handle a situation such as this.
