LOL....looks like Allegro has an ANGRY customer.

Recently I called my credit card company to see if they could reduce the Percentage rate so the payments wouldn't be so high. They agreed to drop to 6.99% interest for a year and minimum payments of 1% during that time.
Two days later I had a withdrawal of $249.00 from my checking account listed as WITHDRAWAL ALLEGRO LAW FIRM. I HAD NOT AGREED ANYTHING WITH THEM, IT WAS MY CREDIT CARD COMPANY THAT I DISCUSSED THE CHANGE WITH AND THEY AGREED AND SET IT UP FOR ME.
Can anyone help me get my money back? I can't pay an attorney $500 to collect the $249 Allegro stole.
I just found an address for them, so will write them a scorching letter.

I have never been late on my credit card. I heard about this on KHCB Christian radio. I called & was talked into this by Allegro law. I already sent them money a few days ago. Have I made a huge mistake?

jimG you NEVER heard of Allegro Law Firm before?

I investigated them and geve them some information thinking I would wait until the next day to decide. I couldn't get their phone, the message was they weren't available. I suppose the time difference was the problem.
I intended to leave a message that I wasn't interested, but dont know whether it went through.
A week or so later, there was a withdrawal from my bank account for $249 - I don't think I authorized it, as the day after I had talked to them, I called my credit card company and they worked a deal out with me that I could live with.
I wasn't able to talk to anyone on the phone at Allegro, so let it slide thinking all was okay until my bank statement came.
Today I got a letter from Allegro law congratulating me and thanking me for joining their company. They will be happy to assist me in solving the problem as soon as I send the first payment (they are requesting $59 per month which I wasn't aware of) they will "send proposals to each of (my) your creditors,...."
Now I am in a fight for the return of the$249 they stolen from my bank.

If you do a search on Allego Law firm.. you will see this from an newspaper article dated May 9th, 2009.

NEW YORK, NY (May 7, 2009) - Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo today announced a nationwide investigation into the debt settlement industry, subpoenaing fourteen debt settlement companies and one law firm. Companies in the debt settlement industry often prey upon consumers who find themselves unable to keep up with credit card payments during these difficult economic times.As part of his broad investigation of the debt settlement industry, Cuomo today issued subpoenas to fourteen debt settlement companies and one law firm: American Debt Foundation, Inc.; American Financial Service; Consumer Debt Solutions; Credit Answers, LLC; Debt Remedy Solutions, LLC; Debt Settlement America; Debt Settlement USA; Debtmerica Relief; DMB Financial, LLC; Freedom Debt Relief; New Era Debt Solutions; New Horizons Debt Relief Inc.; Preferred Financial Services, Inc.; U.S. Financial Management Inc. (d.b.a. My Debt Negotiation); and the Allegro Law Firm.

The subpoenas include requests designed to uncover the companies’ fee structures, how many people have benefitted from the companies’ services, and what kind of relief the companies are actually providing.

Cuomo is also currently investigating Nationwide Asset Services, Inc., based in Phoenix, Arizona, and Credit Solutions of America, Inc., based in Addison, Texas.

The debt settlement plans offered by these companies are often inherently flawed and, based upon consumer complaints, it appears that many consumers are being misled regarding the nature of the services offered by these companies. For example, some companies falsely represent that they can reduce consumers’ credit card debt by as much as 75 percent through negotiations with creditors. In addition, the companies often take their fees up front and keep their fees even when they do not provide the promised services.

The debt settlement plans are generally premised on consumers aggregating savings, over one to three years, from which both the payment of the company’s fees and any negotiated settlement are to be made. Yet most consumers who are targeted by these companies are unable to meet the savings requirements because of their precarious financial situation.

Some of the companies also urge consumers to seek additional sources of funds through means such as selling their blood plasma, mowing lawns, cutting down on car insurance, and borrowing from their neighbors and church. Even for those consumers who can meet the requirements set out by a plan, their amount of aggregated savings is ordinarily insufficient to settle their debts. As a result, many consumers find themselves worse off financially because of these debt settlement plans.

Many consumers may benefit more from working directly with their creditors, seeking credit counseling, or consulting an attorney about filing for bankruptcy. Additionally, even when enrolled in a debt settlement plan, consumers are often still subjected to collection efforts and lawsuits filed by their creditors. Consumers are even told not to discuss their debt situation with creditors.

Attorney General Cuomo has actively pursued unscrupulous companies and individuals that have attempted to take advantage of people who are experiencing personal financial problems during these trying economic times. On April 14, 2009, the Attorney General arrested the owner of Long Island-based American Legal Process for allegedly providing “sewer service” to thousands of New Yorkers owing debt. According to the Attorney General’s criminal complaint and civil suit, this company failed to properly notify individuals that they faced debt-related lawsuits. As a result, individuals would unknowingly default and have judgments entered against them, without the chance to defend themselves.

Consumers who believe they are being defrauded by a debt settlement company are urged to contact the Attorney General’s office at 800-771-7755

The Attorney General’s investigation of the debt settlement industry is being spearheaded by the Bureau of Consumer Frauds and Protection in New York City and several of the Attorney General’s Regional Offices across the state, under the supervision of Consumer Frauds Bureau Chief Joy Feigenbaum and Deputy Attorney General for Regional Affairs David Sampson.

Well thank all of you for your input. Now I know what (Allegro Law) is saying about helping me is to good to be true! I will NOT join this Law firm for help. I will do it myself with my Creditors! I have never been behind and I have good credit. I want to keep it that way. But my payments are over whelming!

I have signed up with Allegro Law and they have already gotten alot of money from me and I have done everything that they have told me and now I am in litigation with a collector. When I called Allegro Law they said I needed to sign some papers and send them back in before they could help me. One of the papers is a legal disclaimer which really concerns me. Has anyone else had to go through this. I also read about Allegro Law being served a subpeona. I really cannot afford to lose the money I paid them but I am at a loss as to what to continue with them or not.

They high pressure you into signing a contract and make it sound so good. Once you sign the contract, that's it. I was told I would have my own personal representative who I could call at any time with any questions or concerns. I have her name and telephone number, but you have to leave a message and she never calls me back. I tried to send a message to them on their web page and no one has ever tried to contact me back. So much for the personal service.

I put down that they could debit my bank account on the 15th of each month because that's when I get paid, but after you sign the contract it gives them the right to change the debit date anytime they want to. My date went to the 13th, two days before I get paid and I have to pay an nsf fee to my bank because it overdraws.

I still get copies of my credit cards bills and have noticed that some of them have not been paid on time and incurred late fees.

I’m thoroughly disgusted for getting myself into a mess like this – first with the credit cards and now with Allegro Law. DON’T DO IT.

I recently just signed up with Allegro Law, but after reading all the post about Allegro Law firm today I called them to cancel! When u dont have $500.00 a month to wait 3-6 months to see if something might work out and your stomach starts to feel queasy; RUN! Thats what I did after being in the program for 3 weeks. I started to get suspicious when Discover was calling me damm near 7-10 times a day for the 3rd striaght week! Bank Of America didnt call me once they just raised my minimum payment 360.00 bucks ! I would call Allegro and my Rep would always give me the sells pitch that its normal for your creditors to harass you because they are just doing there jobs at billing and they might not have received our proposal's as of yet. BS! I dont have time for you to collect money from me at $500.00 a month and have the calls from creditors keep coming and my debt keeps growing! Thanks but NO THANKS. I called Discover and Bank Of America and they reduced my APR's from 14.99% to 4.9% at Bank of America and at Discover it went from 10.99% to 2.9% but the catch is I could no longer use the cards and am on a 5 year plan at 192.00 for Discover and 198.00 a month at B.O.A, but who in the hell cares! I still have one card thats just for real emergencies without a balance at $2000 bucks so I'll just weather the strom and cut back and rest knowing that I settled with my creditors myself and I dint get taking to the cleaners by a Scam credit counseling place. Hey maybe Iam wrong about this place but I would always choose my gut instincts before anything!

Warning people, if you gave them Authorization to take money out of your checking accounts and you cancel; you still may want to put a stop payment on Allegro through your banking account. I did because I dont trust THEM!!!
