Question for Hess Kennedy lawyer/employee

im glad that hess worked for you tiffany but unfortunatly many people have not had a good experience especialy now with the knowledge that they're not lawyers but "counselers"

That last one was really dumb and once again false.

The public records of the firm indicate directors that are attorneys as well as the shareholders are all required to be attorneys under Florida law. This information is public record. All negative posters in this forum are employees of other debt settlement companies who are being scrutinized by the various state regulatory agencies.

I once again reiterate, any one who requests additional information may have it. Negotiation with creditors is a heavily regulated industry.

Every Settlement Company that is not properly licensed, or attorney exempt will be out of business soon.

This is the report I read:

Most of the complaints are regarding unauthorized withdrawals and refund disputes. How would these complaints result from a lawyer referral company. It seems these complaints could only originate from you.

Thats great Guest. That company is not Hess Kennedy Company.

"That last one was really dumb"? This is language from a true lawyer? Really unprofessional.

We have several creditors that say they have not received anything alerting the to the fact we are trying to settle our debt with them. We have recently received a letter stating they are going to sue us for the money owed. No one at Hess Kennedy told me that would be happening. Can someone contact me as to what we do next. We have already invested a lot of money in Hess Kennedy to be hung out to dry. Sharon Robertson

Upset, what is really dumb is making a defamatory statement against Hess Kennedy relating to the Better Business Burea, then posting a link to a reliability report that does not refer to Hess Kennedy Company.

why don't we all stick to the purpose of this forum? stop the silly nonsense and start seeing how we can work together. this kind of back and forth is NOT productive and will serve no purpose. calling each other dumb. that is the dumbest of all.

I live in Louisviile, Kentucky and signed up with Consumer credit counseling which unfortunately signed me up with Hess Kennedy. They are crooked and dishonest and they took money out of my account again even after, a month ago, I wrote and told them I no longer needed their services. They did not help me one bit and did not send me anything copies or statements to any of my creditors that they are suppose to be helping me with here. I am a hardworking individual who cannot afford to pay my bills and Hess Kennedy too, for they are not helpful, but a crooked firm.

Please take my advise and don't do business with Hess Kennedy Law Firm or whoever they are protraying to be as they have really taken advantage of me.

Does it make any sense that Hess Kennedy never follows up with their clients or sends any proof that they are helping me out? No, it is very unprofessonal and not a way to conduct business when someone is paying them to help them out of their bad financial situation. It also is amazing to me how Consumer Credit Counselors of America are doing business with a shady debt firm like Hess Kennedy. Never again will I trust anything like this and I am completely stupid for doing so.

Has anyone dealt with A.S & Associated phone number 866-331-6161. I had a gentleman call me today and telling me that I need to pay my whole balance to avoid going to small claims court and getting charged all the court cost. I only owe $430.00 and not sure if anyone else has dealt with them. I do not have the whole amount and they said that they can not take partal payment. Any suggestions would be greatful.

Swoozyqz, what is the principal amount you took from A S Associates? Chances are that if the company is doing everything as per your state laws and adding charges within your state laws, they may take the matter to the court. They want to get their money back if they are on the legal side. Request the company for an updated loan statement so that you can review the charges and make payment arrangements. If you must, take some professional advice also.

Thank you Key. I asked and got no response when I asked for written confirmation. He is saying that he is the lawyer for a company that hired him but wanted to work it out with me first. I find that strange that they would demand the money so quickly that is not working with me.

Hess Kennedy never returned a single phone call I made to them. They never returned any communication I ever sent their way. I never was able to talk to a real person on their side of the company. All I ever received was a orientation package. I completely understood the difference between consolidation and negotiation, and it was with that understanding that I hung on for approximately another seven months. I owed $5300. I finally settled the debt myself at half the cost of approx. $7500 (being $4250). This was after a legal firm that collected debts called me. If I knew I could have done it WITHOUT Hess and Kennedy's help I would have never enrolled. They never sent a cease and desist letter to Bank of America, no matter how many times I left the right address on their phones. I am stopping payment on my bank account to their company beause they are in breach of contract and if I actually had any money, I'd sue. This company used to have a phone number in Florida, now it hangs up on you. Everything I can find about this company on the internet reeks of RIPOFF. Thank you Hess Kennedy for stealing my money and doing squat.

Asher, I can understand your frustration. I don't know if it will help you at this point since you've had to do everything yourself, but any time I've sent emails to this address, I've received a reply in a day or two at most. You might get some results in a possible refund of some kind if you email them something along the lines of what you've just posted.

I'm sorry to hear you've had such a bad experience with them. I've made two payments to them so far, and now I'm quite worried.

SHADEN - the email is help@ not info@
Just wanted t0o clarify that, per the hess rep's post
