Credit Partnership

Did anyone else just receive a letter from Credit Partnership? I just got another one in the mail yesterday (dated March 20), saying basically the same garbage as the January letter did, BUT this one came with a print out of all the debit/credit activity from my account with them. Proving that they took me for $2962.35 (although I already had proof).

It also states, and this is new, that "Troy Hall is no longer a licensed attorney and cannot offer legal advise" (yeah, like we'd want it from him after all of this!), "and that they 'sincerely' apologize for any inconvenience their closing has caused". Inconvenience? Who the heck are they kidding? And, blah blah blah about the Client Security Fund... blah blah.... Nothing new there.

Anyway I just find it interesting that they are even still sending correspondence considering that they are supposed to have already been closed.

FYI, I just received a tip from someone who said that Mr. Hall lives on Chatenay Lane in Murrieta, CA.

Hey Susie I sent you a PM, but the last time I tried to actually post the info the moderator took it out. I also received word from someone that they will be using his old address from Chateny Lane to try and find his new address. I only have access to California public records.

When(if) I find what his new address is I may have to take a road trip when I get vacation in July. I wanna see the look on this guy's face when he realizes how many prople are after him (their money).

Heather, thanks for the update with CSF. We'll see what happens. I wouldn't go to his house. The law is still the law, and private property gets sticky.

Susie-I'm sure he's still in the state. I'm also sure we're getting letters because the state is MAKING them do this. It's the law to disclose monetary defaults. It just means that state is looking into things. we'll get our $$$ back, one way or another.

Ryno, There is nothing illegal about driving by his house just once, it's not like I want to become a stalker, I just want to see how fat and happy he is living on stolen money. No stopping, fighting, threatening, or breaking &/or entering. Besides, nothing I could do would be as bad as what will happen to him when his Karma catches up. I would love to see the look on his face when the State Bar comes after his ass for all the money they are going to pay out. I have added it up and, thus far, from the info on this site, he took approx. $85,700, which he will have to pay back with 10% apr. He, he, he. Like I said, nothing I could do is better than that. People like this put way too much importance on money.

I'm in the same situation as everyone that has posted so far. You can add me to your list with a loss of $2500 and one creditor paid over 4 years. Except yesterday I was served by one of the credit companies debt collectors. Has this happened to anyone else? I've never been sued before so any help on my further actions are appreciated.

I was also served papers at work back when CP was still "open." I now have a earnings withholding order and they (credit company) take 25% of my paycheck before I even see it. Wasn't our trusty attorney, Troy A. Hall supposed to stop this process before it got this far??? But you can almost consider yourself lucky Revo, I paid C.P. a total of $5600 over the course of 4 years and did not have any of my accounts closed...

This just keeps getting better every day! Revo and Gabe, I'm so sorry that happened to you. Did you both file applications to the CSF for (hopeful) refunds? If anything, if we do receive our refunds you'll be able to pay your debts (not paid by CP) back in full (or a large portion of them) instead of garnishments. I know that does not help you now, sorry. But if it's any consolation, you are not alone. I too have an outstanding debt that was never paid by CP. Knock on wood, I have not heard from them (and hope I never do)!!!!

Oh, and Gabe. If Troy Hall had done what he was hired by us to do, none of us would be here. It's very unfortunate that he took so many of us for so much money.

Hey everybody, Just found this site a couple of days ago. Well, you can add me to the list of people credit partnership has taken. I am down $3500 and just got a letter from a collection agency trying to collect on an account that according to CP is/has been settled. I got to tell you guys, and gals I dont know what I am going to do.

Hey Susie... Yea, I filed a complaint with the Bar, then received the "care package" telling me they couldn't do anything but it had the application to file with CSF. I sent that off about a week ago. So now we play the waiting game... I am so glad we've all found this random website to come together. Without it I am sure many of us (including me) would be completely lost...

Yes, it's an unfortunate club, but welcome to it. We're all here together to support each other through this rather disturbing time. Any information is helpful information. Without this site I would have been lost myself.

I hold little faith in the CSF and receiving a refund from them (sorry Heather), but it's good to know that I'm not alone in my struggle for justice. If not from them, from some other source; possibly a class action.

Troy Hall will pay for his lies one way or another. I believe in karma.

Just an FYI, the count is now approx. $91,700. And that is only for people that have found this site (and put an approx. sum of what was taken). I'm sure that there are people out there that do not have internet access, and people that do, but are not running searches for credit partnership. I only found this site because I googled “creditpartnership.com” while their website was down, and found King Benny's post.

And Susie, I know that we have to be realistic and not get our hopes too high, but the CSF pamphlets all say the same thing. “. . .processing time may be shorter or longer depending on three factors: (1) Whether the lawyer has been disciplined(2) The availability of evidence to prove that you lost money due to a lawyer's dishonesty. (3) How many applications were received ahead of yours.”

As to (1), He resigned, which counts as a discipline. As to (2), I should think what we have should suffice, at this point all we should have to prove is whether we were actually clients. As to (3), this is the only problem I see, while our numbers may be a good thing for validating our claim, it is also slowing down the process.

Hey Heather. I certainly do appreciate your positive spin on all of this. I too have read, and understand the literature from the CSF. And although I have my doubts, this does not mean they are valid. One day we may all be surprised and receive a 'check in the mail', but until that day comes; if it comes, I cannot get my hopes up. Like I said before. If it comes it will be a great surprise and relief. If it does not, then I never counted on it in the first place.

Keep up the great attitude and, sometimes, comedy relief. It really is helping me (and possibly others) get through this crazy ordeal.

I suppose that I am just hoping that lightening doesn't strike twice. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I am spending the money before I get it. I am a realist. I'm just being hopeful and am assuming that the State Bar isn't out there trying to think up ways for us not to get our money. I mean the fund was created just for our type of situation. Or so it seems. Anyway, just knowing you guys there to listen (or should I say, read) my ranting, raving and bitching about this scumbag is a comfort in and of itself.

I have been keeping my eye on this website, reading the posts, and finally decided to chime in. CP has over $10K of my money that was supposed to be used to settle my final 2 accounts. I received some paperwork from the state, but not sure if it's the same papers that have been referenced in these posts. Would someone be so kind to post the website to find these forms to submit? Thanks!
