Need info on the Hass Law Group and/ or Hass Group

Anybody can be a BBB member all you have to do is pay the fee and be business for 6 months. The TASC is any settlement company that wants to be a member. You have to pay taxes on your settlement plus a fee for their services. They get you the same deal you can get on your own. And they do not stop any legal action. You will sign a POa and they will send a Cease and Desist letter. Imagine you are a creditor and your client tells you in writing I will pay you when I ever can in the mean time don't call me. How long would it be to you sue?

Not true. The BBB makes settlement companies to be in business for close to two years now before they can apply for membership. Then they still have to be in good standing with them. Plus if that BBB member settlement company starts showing a pattern of complaints the BBB will revoke their membership.

Not True. TASC secret shops settlement companies that are members to make sure they comply with the standards set out in the TASC Bylaws.

The Bylaws have been developed in consultation with a number of debt settlement companies, discussions with different states’ legislators, and major lenders. The aim of the Bylaws, and that of TASC, is to encourage debt settlement companies to provide services of the highest standards to ensure the public and the credit industry’s confidence. If that company doesn't comply with the Bylaws TASC will revoke that companies membership. If you don`t believe me ask the company Debtxs who lost their membership.

Don't listen to everything you hear from one law office of the Hass group get a second opinion!!!. After 6 months & $2,000.00 my debt was giving back to me to take care of my self.the office of hass recieved about $1,750.00 for fees that they did nothing to recieve. To make a long story short all they are is power of attorney over your debts.The creditors will work with you trust me just call them and it will save you a lot of money

So this is a scam...the Jason D. Hass group that is? Sounds like from your blog it is. I am asking because I have started this process and am thinking, feeling that it is a scam. I have heard good things and bad things about this debt settlement company JDH Associates - Jason D. Hass Group. I just want an accurate answer. I should just pull the plug on them before they get the satisfaction of taking advantage of another one of us that is just trying to get out of debt within a budget that is reasonable and one can afford and NOT GO DEEPER IN THE HOLE.

Old school thanks for taking the time to blog I believe you have helped me realize that this is a scam and all this company is going to do is put me further into debt...something I and most of us cannot afford to do...PUN intended.

BTW...why is it that mobile0311 is the main blogger that has said positive things about this company. Maybe because he is one of them and thinks he is out smarting us. Well we will see who really has the last laugh when they don't get a dime of my hard earned money.

I guess there was one other positive response from a Suki a guest user who is probably one of them as well.......A SCAMMER.
I edited your user name because it could be construed as offensive to others, in the future, if you do not want your user name edited, please choose one carefully, thank you, Shazzers.

Been in the program 13 months. Have done nothing for me
and deeper in debt than when I started.

It takes a long time to get the account settled. Please be patient. I am at the end of my 2nd year and I have settled 4 of the 9 accts. You have to build up a balance so you will have the money to pay off the credit company once JH negotiates a settlement. I just got off the phone with a rep from JH. She spend 20 minutes making sure I resolved my issue and was very friendly. I hope to be debt free by the end of 2009

I just wish they'd stop calling my phone! After I told them I found out how to get my ownself out of debt!

Why would anyone use a settlement company that takes there fees upfront i have no idea. Use a company that takes there fees out over the length of a program so you put more into your trust account. Then guess what, you will have someone negotiating for you sooner because you have MONEY which is what it takes to settle. I know of a few companies that do and will almost talk you out of it because debt settlement isn't just an, "Okay i will stop paying my creditors and settle" There is a risk envolved. You should be prepared to file BK if everything doesn't work out as planned. Creditors do settle but there is the chance that you might be that one that they wont.

jhassgroup dot com is their web site. I am in the process of checking them out too in conjunction with checking out Consumer Debt Counselors Group, LLC, Boca Raton, FL web site is consumerdcgroup dot com.

I have been very dissappointed with the Hass Group. My husband and I have paid in about $10,000 without a payment yet. Calls are not returned. If I do talk to someone, promises are made but not followed through.

Im usure of why some people choose to use companies that take upfront fees. I personally did not use this company and im not sure if they are a scam or not, but I will tell you this. I used a settlement company that does not take upfront fees.
I couldnt have afforded it even if i wanted to.

second of all, everyone needs to know the facts about settlement. read up on it before you join. These are the facts:
It will take several months to settle your accounts i was at almost a year with 0 settlements and had 3 all in the same month. if you do get a settlement within 6 months you should feel lucky.

no company can promise you a certain time frame or dollar amount on settlements. This is why they call it settlement they negotiate or atleast they are suppost to what you will pay to settle the account paid in full.

No company can promise to keep you from lawsuits
No company can promise that the collectors will never call you. Some few random ones will every now and again. It will reduce them, and handled properly they usually stop, but they can still call you.

No company can promise a time frame. If you sign up for 2 years you may not be done in 2 years depending on how you handle the situation you may not have to pay into the account but negotiations may not be done.

Im sure there are more but these are some of the few things off the top of my head. debt settlement is a great way to get out of debt, but it surly is not easy. And once you are sure you got a good company you need to make a commitment to the program or a commitment to yourself if you are doing it on your own. This is a tough road and most people think it is easy and it is not. Be prepared is key. Know the facts and stick with it. Reading these posts tells me that people are not finding out the facts on debt settlement.

I too feel like I have gotten the shaft from JDH. We have been sending them money for a year now (over $7000) and now we have two creditors suing us and taking us to court. JDH wants us to pay them off....well...duh....isn't that why we signed with them? They said we do not have enough money built up....five of the seven thousand is for their fees! When we signed up they were all sweet and syrupy about how they are there to help us and now they are throwing us to the wolves. To top it off, they said we would not have enough in out reserves to start paying off debt until next April! That would be two years without any settlements. In the meantime, I am sure the others will sue us for their money. I mean, what's the use in sending it to JDH? I asked to quit the program and they will send us $2K but the other $5k we cannot have back because they "worked" for it. I am seething right now..................

If this company has ripped you off as well contact the Attorney Generals office for your state along with the State Bar of your state. This guy should be shut down.

You people must have had selective hearing when you were signing up with them. I do not work for them, I was a client. Yes I paid their fee, yes they told me what to expect and yes it was difficult. I was in the program for 3 years because I had so much debt. But it is gone and I don't want it ever again. If I can't pay cash, I don't need it. You people need to stop complaining and realize you created your own debt and it won't go away on it's own. If you were so financially savvy, you wouldn't have gotten into this to begin with.

I learned that a few years of pain and is worth being debt free. I would have never have been det free. Don't forget who the real bad guys are here. For me it was Capital One.

Nothing feels better than being debt free in 3 short years. Without their help I would be buried in debt for 60 years!

Call them if you are not happy and let them explain the program to you again...because you obviously didn't listen the first time. They work and I am proof alongf with 4 of my friends.

Seriously, I do NOT work for them. I simply want everyone to realize that DEBT SUCKS and JDH did help me. You have to understand the program, stick with it and don't give up. They will do what they say and they will follow through.

Remember why you called them in the first place. 3 years of pain is better than a lifetime of debt. No I have to go to the beach...Debt free

STICK WITH IT - You'll see!!
