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

I have another post with my experiences, almost temped to leave my email address for proof of my sincerity, like I said, you have to be patient, you have to do the program, but I have been with them just under 2 years, and have just settled the last debt, saving me thousands, and in no way could I have done what they did for me, or paid off my debt on my own in that time period.

I think it's like any other progam, whether weight loss, life change, etc.....if you understand how it works, commit to it, do what you are supposed to do, and follow through, it works....if you drop out, get impatient, etc...then no it won't work.

It worked for me and I for one am grateful, the light at the end my my debt tunnel is brighter and I am almost out!

If everyone summons you to court before the third year how can you not be debt free in under three years.???.. The pain you are referring to is probably the pain of you having to settle your own cases and paying someone else that was suppose to assist you in settling the debt... I am a customer and I'm getting out while I'm ahead... I'm tired of putting food on JHaas dinner tables while I'm struggling to buy a decent meal for my kids.

i just started made one payment , they gave me this devise that doest work im thinking of getting out thy make it sound to good

Get out while you can.

They are NOT BBB accredited but they have a "F" grade.
The lawyer who runs the outfit is on probation with the AZ Bar. Look it up yourself.

Google "J. Hass" + the word "complaints."

Why did someone take my screen name or is it that they just don't know how to spell?

Google "J. Hass" + the word "complaints". Look at the other bbs but don't fall for the shill posters' bs.

Just ended my contract with JDHass yesterday. They are a SCAM!!!!! I paid over $6000 to them and was told that two of my three debts were paid off. Come to find out yesterday after speaking with those two creditors (which JDHass told me never to do) that they had never received any payment or settlement in regard to my accounts. In the contract JDHass says all disputes will be settled by the National Arbitration Forum. The NAF has been found by the Minnesota Attorney General to be involved with the debt settlement companies and rules in their favor for financial gain for both parties. Google the NAF and you will find the specifics. On July 20, 2009, the NAF said they will not be handling disputes between the debt settlement company and consumers anymore, stating other reasons. JDHASS is a SCAM!!! Get out. Cancel the automatic deduction from your checking or savings account and do not give them any more money. Call the creditors your self and work with them. JD HASS lied to me and told me my debts were paid, they were not!!!!! I had more than enough money in my accounts to pay my debts plus had paid all their fees, and had settlement offers from the creditors that I received in mail and forwarded to JDH to settle--they never did!!!! Do not believe these people who say stick with it, it does not work!!! Sticking with it means JDHASS gets more of your money--question these people who say it works, stick it out!! The employees at JDH lie.

If you have had a good experience with JDH your one of the lucky few!

At first it seems like everything is working like they told you it would.

Once they get all their fees paid or close to it, your not important to them anymore.

If they do settle debt accounts for you it's not 40%,50% or 60% of your original debt. It's that percent of what the debt has increased to after all the accrued interest,while they sat on their behinds.

If you feel lucky go ahead & sign with them, hope you don't get sued like I did.

I would put a gun to my head before getting involved with them again.

This company is a rip off, i'm deeper dept than when i first started, and in the process of being sued for non payment. When i contacted j hass for this matter , they told me to make a deal with the creditor, i paid them to do. How ever the payment is now more than what it was. I should have continue to struggle on my own. Now j hass calls continuely because i no longer pay them. If anyone is thinking of using this company i pray you think again

JDH took 50% of my monthly payment and accomplished very little. They even took money out of my account after I notified them in writing and by certified mail that they were no longer authorized to take any funds and they were no longer representing me.
I paid them a total of $12,772.84. They settled with one credit card company for $3,800.00 leaving them very overpaid for the amount of work they did. I also was sued by 2 credit card companies with no response to the companies from JDH or attempt to negoitiate to keep the companies from going to court.
Please keep your money. They will rip you off without even blinking!!

Please understand that J Haas Group is a collector group for the attourneys that feed clients into it.

I recieved a contract from a Houston lawyer whose name was never mentioned on the contract.

Read the print and do it your self!

The only thing this company really does is send out power of attorney letters to your creditors. These letters do not even look professional, look like they have been photo copied about a million times. They don't really do any negotiating for you, any settlement offer from a creditor they just relay it to you.

The creditor sets the terms of the settlement, which usually requires you to pay out of pocket money. This money is in addition to whatever is in the trust account the debt settlement company had set up for you. If you can not afford to pay the amounts demanded by the creditor, they just sue you. The debt settlement company just say's "sorry" & continues to take your money for their fees.

Maybe I'm just unlucky, but the debt settlement reps that handled my account were dumber than a box of rocks. They got me sued because they didn't understand how the debt collection process works once a creditor files a lawsuit against you.
Beleive me it is not that difficult to understand, a grade school kid could figure it out.

Forgot to mention that if you have been burned by this company.
File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commision & the AZ attorney general.
It's easy to do & you can do it online.

Anyone that has used this company needs to compare your original agreement with them.

I found out that they had changed the amount of their fees that was being deducted from my trust account. They did this without my permission. Of course they expect you to honor the stipulatons of the original contract, what about them?

I know of others who have had the same experience, who knows how many more they have done this to.

They need to be stopped, report them to the BBB, FTC & AZ attorney general or maybe class action is in order.

i went with consumer debt help association, no up front fees,members of the online business bureau, their arbitrators are all certified with results that really work .... if any one interested call them at 1-888-680-1875

They mislead customers.

They tell you to stop paying creditors.

Even though they also state the same on their website, they denied it in an article in the Philadelphia weekly. See more info at getoutofdebtguy.org

They settled all my debts at at least 1/2 their original amount if not a lot less than that. I was always able to to talk to a human and they would call me just to check on things and to see if I had heard from any of my creditors. In fact, even though I am all paid into the program, they are still calling me to make sure I haven't heard anything from debt collectiong agencies. My credit score has gone up and I'm a happy customer.

For those of you that may still beleive this is an honest DSC

Look! it appears they have changed their company name again, just in time as the new federal regulations for DSC go into effect.

Check it out yourself, the new name is The Fingo Group & it has the exact same address as the J. Hass Group. Also one of their board members just happens to go by the name Michelle Hass.

The BBB in most states is a joke. Just because a company is a member doesn't mean they are reputable. The biggest joke is this Haas group actually has people believing he is helping them. Check your bureaus; all the accounts this company is supposedly helping you with are R9 and charge offs. Better off flushing your cash.......

They held off for 30 days to settle a clam. When I was finaly able to get though to them ,after 3 weeks of calls.they said it would cost another payment to them . one payment on 1-22-11 and another on 2-4-11......never again....DID NOTHTHING FOR ME....GOT SCAM..

My Brother has paid this group in excess of $10,000.00 over a two year period, and they have not settled with any of his creditors, and kept $4,500.00 of his money instead of the $1,500.00 they said it would cost him. My brother was sued by one of the creditcards companies the group was "negotiating with" and his wages are now being garnished at $600.00 per month, which is $150.00 more than he was paying the group. He will be calling the AG office today or Monday.

I DO work for this company for over a year and I can honestly say debt settlement works....for the right person/profile...
However, God forbid you are served a summons and are being sued you are S.O.L!
We have so many legal accounts that have not even been touched, many in our office longer than a year.
Suddenly you are garnished and you think J Hass is in your corner? LOL....WRONG!
we cant do anything once you are garnished.
J Hass makes many promises they do not keep. The company really cares only about themselves and does not treat their empoyees well.
If the program works its because the negotiator makes it work not the company and for doing this all we get is constant insults and write ups and lousy pay.
Rarely do they acknowledge our good work.
I am trying to get out because it is clear J Hass will not make it in this tough industry.
Be very careful about the debt settlement company you choose.
READ the contracts and always get everything they tell you in writing to protect yourself.
Good luck

I too was an amployee of J Hass who DID change their name to fingo. The company DOESNT Care about you- if your debts are settled its because the UNDERPAID and UNDERAPPRECIATED negotiator and customer service reps setttled it for you.
They recently fired EVERYONE in their Scottsdale office (except a few people) and moved their main office to the Phillipines (notice its a little difficult to understand your new "team")
I would suggest to GET OUT NOW! this company is going under. Their rich CEO's care about no one but themselves. Their employees were miserable and couldnt wait until the close-down date.
You can settle the debt yourselves, just dont let the creditors tool with you! Good luck!
