Campos Chartered Law/ Hess Kennedy

Hmm.. Thanks for posting this information if it's true. I know HK has a lot of issues in their business and they can tie with another company to carry out their scam. Let this info also get verified and people become cautious.

Berger, I looked up Jeffrey Scott Campos with the Florida Sec of State, his law firm was incorporated in April 2007. Mr. Campos graduated from St Thomas law school in 2004.....so essentially he is a rookie. Jeff is also partners with Laura Hess of "hess Kennedy".....as most on this site are aware Hess kennedy is a scam.

Check out freelawspace.com and you will see that Laura Hess knows that people are aware of HK's scam, so she is trying a new angle called "Campos Chartered Law" with her partner Jeff Campos. In any case it looks like HK and Campose both get their clients through the telemarketing efforts of CCCS or CCCOA.

People check out these companies and be careful!

I signed with campos law firm a few months ago and they already settled 3 of my debts for a lot less than they told me it was gonna be when i signed with them. I dont know anything about hess kennedy but campos is good in my book

We no longer refer business to Hess Kennedy Company nor do we refer business to Jeff Campos. We refer business only to Richard Brennan.

Mr. Campos has already stopped my creditors from harrassing me and has entered into negotiations on my behalf. I would highly recommend this firm, they have been up front and honest with me in my dealings with them as well as several of my friends who have used this firm.

Seems to me that the real crooks are CCCA. They take peoples money and don't provide any service what so ever. Its only a matter of time before the FTC shuts those criminals down. I think its a point in HessKennedy's favor that they won't do business with CCCA anymore. I for one will look forward to doing business with HessKennedy in the future just based on that fact.

Obviously the people at Hess are attorneys. Show me another debt settlement firm that will represent you in court. I can't believe some of you people.

can anyone tell me how to get my money back from them

is this a honest debt relief company or are they a fraud

I looked up Jeffrey Scott Campos esq with the Florida State Bar, he passed his bar like 2 years ago......sounds like experience to me. Also why would Jeff Campos who is partners with Laura Hess of HK use "The Kayden Group" website?? Suspicious

Hess Kennedy has not had a complaint in months in here. All old complaints from people lied to by CCCOA.

They settled two accounts in collections for me. I lost my job and they refunded my money. Just email them and tell them your credit counselor was not honest.

All I need to know is that Jeff Campos and Laura Hess are partners/scammers. Hess Kennedy is getting hammered by massive numbers of complaints from all over the country, so Laura Hess and Jeff Campos are trying to divert attention away from their shameful business practices by creating "The Campos Chartered Law" obviously actively trying to decieve people!

Piehole must be a debt collector. I received a nasty letter from a law firm and it did not comply with the "first letter" rule under the fdcpa, hess sued them right away and they lawyer zeroed out the debt.

There are definitely debt collectors on here posing as honest debtors. Its sad that these scum bags would result to this type of childish activity. If it wasn't for Hess Kennedy and Mr. Campos, I would still be in serious debt. Because of them, I have had settlement offers from all my creditors and they have sued 2 of those creditors on behalf already.

Well I am not a darn collector and Iknow quite a few here who are dissatisfied customers of this firm. So why don't you take your ad campain elsewhere!

Cajunbulldog,
You tell them. I'm sick of coming in here and seeing the mess Hess has done. I'm out of my money and I'll never see it again. I'm so stupid for doing business with this place. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM HESS KENNEDY AND ANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM. THEY ARE CROOKS AND WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY!!!!

lou lou,look on the hess topics for Tiffany99,she posted what she did to get her refund.Worth a shot& good luck.

First let me start by saying that saying someone is a scammer because you don't fully understand what you have signed is not very wise. All companies have clients that are not satisfied. Please remember that both companies, because they are 2 separate companies that are working together, are reffered business. Have you ever stopped to think that maybe it is te referral agents who are misinforming??? Also, it didn't take you one or two months to get into debt, it certainly isn't going to take you one or two months to get out of debt. Please remember that there is a difference between debt settlement and debt consolidation. Hess Kennedy is a debt settlement company. What that means is that your debts are not getting paid monthly, your money is being saved in a trust fund to accumulate enough funds to settle it out in a lump sum. If you owe $25,000 and are only paying 200 monthly, it is going to take some time to accumulate a lump sum. If you had a bad experience, maybe it is because you were told that they could take on a debt that they couldn't. Again that would be your referral agent, not Hess Kennedy or Campos Chartered....
Jeff Campos and Laura Hess are not trying to divert attention from anything. They are both attorneys who are in the same business working together. Have you never heard of that????? Now if either of them also does private practice work, does that give you the right to say that they are decietful too????

I am a client of Hess Kennedy and they refuse any lead that is referred from this site. I told them that there are posts here and i was concerned about my escrow account. I was told that the escrow account is managed by a third party trustee and is bonded and insured. They told me that this site referred people to CCCOA and then to Hess Kennedy.

Cajun,

Have Lou Lou give you his information and power of attorney to contact hess kennedy via email.

Post all the email in this forum to see if he is lying or not?

If this forum is really helpful Cajun, have everyone who claims they were scammed give ou their info and permission to contact hess kennedy for them so a third party neutral person can report back. That would be honest.

I am not cancelling with them. It has been over 10 months and they settled my MBNA for .30 and an account that "LUVN FUNDING" purchased and tried to collect on.

Most of these recent post are obviously from employees of firm. I know of a few clients that were given refunds due to lack of services performed on their contract.I am here voluntary and if someone was willing to let me be a third party,I feel it would be ugly for Hess. You are correct that they are a law firm who has only one attorney licensed in the Florida bar. If anyone would like me to be the third party,bring it on.I will make room in my active investigations for it.

I just wish this nitemare would stop. I'mm so sick of the stupid things that this com. has done and I'm so sick thinking why did I call them and try to get help. Why oh why? Now I'm out of a job, two children, and no money because of Hess. Well hess I hope your company is happy now with all your lawyer friends. Hope you car is full of gas, your table full of food, and your sheets are wet from all the hard work you've done for all of your clients LIKE ME YOU JERK OFF!!!

Lou Lou,

Why have you not emailed them for a refund if your beef is legitimate and you were really a client?

I smell fish. . . . . lou lou fish. . .

Alright last guest,let's keep the topic businesslike so I don't have to start deleting posts.loulou,again I ask you do do a search for tiffany99 on the forum here.She posted how she received her refund of her monies.

Hey!

(I'm sorry that I know nothing about this board, so if I'm intruding, I apologize in advance.)

At any rate, My GF is about to sign up with "Campos Chartered Law Firm" to help her settle her debt. Admittedly she doesn't owe all THAT much to people (less than 10 grand), but having one smaller, manageable monthly payment to shut the creditors up for a few years if far beyond needed.

Thus far, the person she's been talking with has been rather helpful. I got on the phone with the person once to ask a couple "loaded" questions since I hadn't understood how it's possible to pay off debt(s) for less than what you owe. After it was explained to me it made sense.

Now I read here (after doing some Google-ing about these people) that they are a spin-off/cover up for a couple known scammers? Am I reading these messages right? Also a few folks here on this very page that are saying they are having a good experience with them. My GF heard about these these people from a co-worker of her's that is having good things to say about them as well.

So, now I'm a bit confused on what to do. She's looking to me for the final nod and whether she should sign with Campos or not.

I was about to h=give her the nod until finding this page.

I do understand that anything on the Internet should be taken with a few grains of salt (I've been using the "Internet" since before 80% of the people on this planet knew such a thing was even possible, much less that it even existed... :-) ).

Any way, any insight would be nice.

Thanks!

M.

All I can say is Check out the company with the better business bureau,Florida bar association since it is a lawfirm,& the Florida attorney general offices.That should give you an idea if they are who you wish to do business with.

Hi I just signed up with this firm. Can someone be honest about this company is it or is it not a scam????

After reading all the posts, i'm more confused than ever. Should I go with campos for a $6500 late credit card bill???

Well I'm glad you smell fish cause your breath is getting bad in here. I did e-mail them, I talked with Debbie and Adam and they said they would take care of it. Well hello, NOTHING!!! Now I'm getting the run around and they say I owe them. What for? They have sent out letters and done nothing else. I'm so sick of people in here pointing the finger at the ones who are victims. I'm not paying a bill to them for $5,000 and nothing being done. This is more debt for me and I can't handle this. Do you think I'm stupid? Well, I'm not. I'm so sick of this place and all the stupid things they do to innocent people. I'll never give this com. and good name and I hope they go under. It won't be long and they will you sit back and smell the fish fry baby!!!

Yes I'm back and I'll say it again that Hess Kennedy does not do a good job and I hope they do go under. I'm sorry for your smell of fish and I'm sorry if you feel bad but I'm not lying about my situation and I don't care if you don't take my story but it's the truth and you can just jump if you want. I'm not paying for "services rendered" to a bunch of crooks who have not done nothing for me but make my life a living H*** here on earth. I can settle on my own and not need them so take it or leave it sucker.

please help i put my money into this firm believing it would help me

Tony:

Listen to Lou Lou, he is a debt collector. Open up your yellow pages locally and find a credit counselor or an attorney.

Has anyone used this company for the time frame specified? And all your debts are now taken care of?

Tony.
Do not go with Hess and I'm not lying about it. They suck at their service and they will keep you out in the dry to hang there with no help. Call and ask to speak with Adam or Debbie they'll lie to you they did me

Curious,
Hess is not a good company to work with. They are supposed to help you out and not get you further in debt. All of my creditors would call them and speak with them and Hess Company would tell them I'm in bankruptcy and that was not the case. I don't like people who lie about my debt to cover their butts!! They have a bad rep and don't go with them. Go to your local yellow pages and find someone local if you need to visit them you can. STAY AWAY FROM HESS KENNEDY COMPANY!!!

we signed with them over a year ago and have had nothing but problems. they settled one account but never spoke to any other representatives of other companies. i had to go to small claims court with just a letter from them saying we were clients.no reprentation at all. they dont even return calls. severed relation in april and have reported them to BBB, Florida bar assc and attorney generals of maine and florida. maine has contacted them and also discovered they are not licensed in maine to practice . I hope they are all disbarred

I signed up with Free Law Space and it has been a huge relief. I appreciate the fact that when I call there office, I get a paralegal on the phone or at least a call back. I have had a good experience and would refer anyone to them.

I was wondering if anyone out there know's anything about "The Attorneys Network"? The paperwork/contract they sent me through this company is entitled The Consumer Law Center which sounds like it's connected to the same attys. you say are a scam. Please respond to me as quickly as possible.

I worked for a co. that worked with hess and kennedy and they are scam artists.

Watch out, Jack Dempsey works for Creditors Interchange. He is a debt collecting swine.

i'm reading this whining and complaining, I was a collector a few months ago and my agency got the pants sued by campos. I am not dropping any names because that is nobody's business, and due to campos's intervention the collection agency lost big. I quit soon thereafter when I realized how much of a lie credit is.

Try waking up and realizing that the banks are not your friends. If you only had enough sense in your brain to actually fathom that one simple fact, you will soon realize the gravity of the situation. Turn off your TV, stop talking to your creditors, and beef up on your reading comprehension skills.

Do you realize that bill collectors are trained professionals who are expert at getting into people's heads, all to break them down and extort money. Americans have forgotten about their rights, and banks have their crap shrouded in secrecy for a good reason. All to make it easier to rob you blind.

WAKE UP!!!

[and don't talk to your creditors]

[color=DarkRed]Profane post removed - Mike[/color]

I am a debt collector. We are not all bad people. We do however no longer try and collect on any account where the debtor is represented by an attorney.

The law firms are suing us individually now and not the debt collection agency. My supervisor said that if we violate the law and get sued the company is not defending us.

But if your one of the nice debt collectors . you need to start sharing some of your stories on here. by actualy helpin people out what going to happen and what can be done about it. YOu know if you have a heart of gold or ever been in a spot like alot of us. You would care enough to help us out here. Right now debt collecters are a bad word to me. I hate them. They are rude. I dont know how people can actually go to sleep knowing what they have done to people. So debt collector if you all at bad prove it and give some advice on here . I see that you gave one . Lets see if your strong enough to help any more. Have a heart and help us in need. Because one day you might be in the mess.

It's funny how people go on here to blog and throw stones at a company, when they do not have a legitimate source of complaints! Childess I think because if you are really complaining about the services and are really getting ripped off, why not go straight to the American Bar Associations and get their licenses yanked if the complaints are legitimate? Why not file complaints to the Attorney Generals office and have that company shutdown? So in reality of it all the people who are posting negative insights must be from a company that aren't doing so well and rather than posting legitimate complaints on a blog they rather bash on companies for their own benefits and not the interest of a consumer! I work for a company that help and assist clients to really get out of debt, but I will refuse to use a blog to advertise false complaints just to gain a clients trust no need to because I know our business is legit and we are easy to find, so all of you consumers, all you need to know is that go to the real source for complaints or scams. BBB, Bar Associations and Attorney Generals office and better yet the Federal Trade Commission and if they had numerous complaints on a company believe me they will shut that company down! Thanks and just becareful of what you hear especially when it's just a blog from a disgruntle ex-employees or competitor companies around the globe! ;)

The document file number is not correct? Second this is not solid proof! Please if you are really out to help the consumers than atleast give them facts not accusations!

I am not saying they are not associated what I am saying is that why post complaints of companies and state that they are scams when they aren't? I do not think there is one company in America that does not have numerous amounts of complaints, don't you agree? But the fact of the matter is that those numbers of complaints generally small issues that can be resolved! Now do you think if a Law is actually doing scams than they still be licensed to conduct business today? I don't think so! I complain about Mc Donalds because they have poor service but I still eat their food! It's okay to complain so we can fix it to make things work better. If I own a company I would want clients to at least tell me what I am doing wrong so I can correct it, no one wants to be out of business???
