Allegro Law Claims

STATEMENT OF RECEIVER

Allegro Law, LLC has been placed in Receivership by the Circuit Court of Autauga County, Alabama as a result of an action filed by the Attorney General of the State of Alabama along with the Alabama Securities Commission. Louis C. Colley has been appointed receiver of Allegro's funds and ongoing business under the supervision of the Circuit Court. All records are currently being reviewed in order that each client may be protected to the fullest extent. It is anticipated that a debt management plan will be continued for the benefit of the client according to the agreements already in place. Debt settlement plans are currently being evaluated to see if proposals have been accepted by creditors and to determine if a settlement can be reached on behalf of the client. A claims process will be established for refunds of any funds available and not used on behalf of a client. This website will be continually updated to provide further information and eventually the claims procedure will be posted on this site. I understand your concern and assure you we will work through this process as quickly as possible for the benefit of all clients.

You can get one at the Alabama AG's website.

To the poster who said they were on hold for two hours before talking with a live person at Allegro, try reading the rest of the thread and see if that explains it.

Can anyone tell me where to get a hold of Allegro Law, I have been sending them money for one year - to pay for one of my debts I consolidated with them, and their web site is not working, and I have been on eternal holds on the phone - nobody is ever coming - help - I am freaking out!!! (romero_ali@yahoo.com)

What rock have you been under? You found this website, start reading it thoroughly from say.....July 1 & catch up. They are OUT of business. There is a receiver in place appointed by the Alabama Attorney General. They are still making payments for folks & working with creditors. But, it will take years to sort all this out.

I worked for Anderson Nelms for a brief minute. Another ligit business off to the side. All of us have been screwed. We never received our last pay checks. That was in July. You at least have SOME hope of still doing what you set out to do.

Unfortunately, this is par for the course for most debt settlement companies. They do not want to review all your possible options and their ramifications, they simply shoehorn you into the most profitable solution for them.

This company is being sued by the Attorney General of Alabama, thanks to properly filed complaints by people like you. "http://allegrolawreceivership.com/"

It all went to their fees. They charge around 15% of your total debt you put into their program and they make you pay most (if not all) of that up front. There is an outcry to force these companies to not be able to charge you anything at all until *after* they have actually performed their services, but it requires people like you to raise the rallying cry.

Unfortunately, the cost comes at your destroyed credit and that is why these people need to be regulated *now*, so they do not ruin even more lives.

i was pushed to sign up

That's because they are staffed with professional salespeople who get commissions and so are only interested in selling you the package that puts the most money in their pockets, regardless of your actual need.

What is going on with this company alegro law firm with debt solutions

#**409** 09-23-2009, 12:10 PM

I got a hold of Customer Service - they are still taking our money and payments will be happening on behalf of Allegro Law when you have reached twice the amount owed to any credit card - that was the lingo I listened to. Sent letter of cancellation and demand refund - also sent certified letter to the appointed court receiver....Allegro has done nothing - they reflect escrow amounts for one third of what people send - they pocket it all and now - this will never happen - due to the scam mode of them doing "business" - I thin we all have lost whatever monies we have sent to them.....uggrrr....I want to make a trip to kill someone!

#**410** 09-23-2009, 12:11 PM

and we all will have to begin at square one with whatever credit card debts we have - I pulled one of my credit card debts rom Allegro and paid it off in 5 months - the other one - I will have to tackle as soon as I am over this anger and lost of money....

#**411** 09-23-2009, 01:58 PM

Actually Allegro Law made you pay ALL of the upfront fess before they did anything for you. And most are not really staffed with Pros. Sometimes they are just kids looking for a job, convicts, crooks or just your average joe. Just look in your classifieds. You'll see. You do not need any experience to be a sales rep at the DS companies. All ads say that they will train you on the job.

I have work in the criminal field from time to time and I guy I know (who is a convict) works for one of these DS companies in NJ. I know him well and I know he wants to be legit after 20 years of being a criminal. He even gave me his card when I saw him on the street one day. I just laughed in my head. I'm gald he has a job and he is trying to do the right thing but...........if it works for him though so be it.

My friend who I work with now was one as well when he was in college with me. And trust me........he had no experience. The stories he tells me (though really wrong) will entertain you. All he cared about was getting his commissions and making ends meat. He knows he was wrong.

And last. I never said this before (Don't hate me) but my brother does this for a living in GA. We don't speak because of it. He will con you out of your shirt if he could. Even family if you let him. He does not care. The crazy thing is that he thinks that he does nothing wrong and it's all fair game. He only sees the all mighty dollar. Oh an make no mistake he is a criminal. Deceiving people is wrong.

Absolutely. While it may be common amongst certain animals to deceive, it is beneath a supposedly rational human. Especially in a business sense, because there has to be an element of trust in order for the business relationship to work properly, and how much more so for a business that requires time and a relatively long term relationship for it to be able to properly dispense the services it offers.

As far as:

As stated above, they are in receivership. Go to the website mentioned and ask them. Requests are going to take longer than normal, because the receiver will comb through their books with a fine toothed comb. And I am sure that they will announce the same results discovered for every other debt settlement firm ever closely investigated: only less than 5% actually make it through the program and succeed - and most of those have very small (less than $20K) amount of debt. Those companies that take customers/clients with $10K or less will see a higher success rate, naturally.

#**414** 09-24-2009, 01:16 PM

the number provided here goes to a message that says basically nothing...old Louis Colley isn't picking up...imagine that!

#**415** 09-28-2009, 10:23 AM

Not that Louis Colley doesn't pick up the phone, but when his secretary picks up, you leave a message for him and she assures you that he will call you back because he is ALWAYS in "COURT" not in the office. Guess what, you don't get a call back form him or anyone from his office!!

#**416** 09-29-2009, 09:10 AM

How do I jump on the bandwagon of this lawsuit? I am sick of waiting for them to get their act together, meanwhile they are still trying to take money from my acount, and will not answer any correspondence when I try to stop them! I have never sued anyone before.
