    Pattern of Complaint:

    On October 26, 2021, Better Business Bureau recognized a pattern of complaints from consumers regarding billing, contract, and customer service issues. Consumers allege fees are not disclosed up front or in the pricing of the service, the cost of the program is higher than paying off debt without the company’s services, and the breakdown of debts does not include the company’s fees.  Consumers claim they do not receive any personal legal advice from an attorney, but are instead provided advice from account managers.  In addition, consumers allege that they are not made aware of their debt account status and claim they are charged beyond the term of their agreements.  Consumers also allege they have difficulty reaching the company for assistance and claim the company allows their debts to go into default due to neglect. To get a settlement, consumers allege they are required to sign non-disclosure agreements to resolve complaints.  

    On September 27, 2021, BBB notified the company of the complaint pattern. To date, the company has not responded to BBB's request to address the pattern.

    Advertising Review:

    On September 27, 2021, Better Business Bureau contacted Harbor Legal Group concerning its advertising claims on the company’s website, http://www.harborlegalgroup.com/. Specifically the company claims to be a law firm, and claims, “It is not a lawyer referral service or prepaid legal services plan. Each of the lawyers on this site are either Managers, Members, Partners, Limited Partners or staff attorneys.”  BBB found consumers are not being advised by attorneys. Consumers claim their accounts are handled by account managers or specialists and they are being referred to a monthly prepaid service plan to resolve their debts without advice from a lawyer.

An advertisement as a whole may be misleading by implication, although every sentence separately considered may be literally true. Misrepresentation may result not only from direct statements but by omitting or obscuring a material fact. 

     

    Despite BBB’s written requests, as of October 18, 2021 BBB has not received a response to our advertising review. For more information about BBB’s code of advertisement please go to https://www.bbb.org/code-of-advertising

    In 2020, I filled out paper work for HLG to help me with my debt. They did that with every company except ************* (433 ************************* **********). *** wanted me to work it out with ************* after I paid them to take care of this matter. They said they would work out settlement with *************. They led me to believe that they were working on case. i called ************ and was told they were working on case and that I would have to pay ************* not them. On 2/24/22 I called HLG attorney at ************ and filled a verbal complaint that my last account with them has not been settled. Then I called 3/3/22 HLG wanted to work with and set up new draft for me to pay. We tried for several weeks for me to start paying HLG for ************ Settlement. I filled out paper work but HLG was not accepting money from me. I called 3/16/22 HLG was unable to draft from my bank. They made me think it was something I had done wrong. I called 4/19/22, 6/2/22 I was told they were trying to work it out. *** admitted that they were not able to take money from me I had to pay ************* after they make a settlement offer with them. I was told to call and check on status of my account. I did that form June 2, 2022 and was told that they were working on it every time I called. Then August 31, 2022 I called and was told it would take place in December/Jan. 2023. I called January 5 and was told that my account with HLG was cancelled on October 30, 2021. I was told I should have gotten letter. I did not receive a letter, email or phone call from HLG canceling my account. They refused to work with ************* or ************* refused to work with HLG. I called ******************** a *************************************** ***********************) and tried to set a settlement with *************. ******** told be to ask ************* for a pay off amount in writing. I did this and ************* refused to put anything in writing for credit card debt in 2016. My first phone call they side I would get a letter in 7 to 10 days. I did not receive a letter. I called again, they would give me amount I owed but refused to put anything in writing. I gave ******** dates and amounts. He said they should send you by mail or e-mail a pay off letter. I tried again they wanted me to pay them with out anything in writing. I am retired and I wanted to settle my debt but I do not trust ************* or HLG. *** made it seem as if ************* refused to settle with them and wanted me to call them. I did not want to deal with bank with out someone who knew what was right and what was wrong. I do not know if HLG was to blame or the bank. I want them to finish what they started but I do not trust them. Help me find out what they did and make them fix this. Now, ******** told me that after so many years bank can write off loss of my debt. Is this why the bank refused to send me anything in writing?

    I entered into a legally binding agreement with this company; however they did not hold up their end of the agreement. I paid our over $33,000 for them to help me settle some debts . Over several years I made monthly payments, of which I made them all and toward the end of my plan even willingly agreed to make some extra payments in hopes of settling all my accounts. Well, they did settle most of my accounts except for the largest one which is now higher than it has ever been?. Which I am still responsible for paying. After seeing all the fees on my last statement ( which I do not remember seeing on our initial agreement) I see why they couldnt complete our legally binding agreement. Out of the funds they pocketed over $18,000. I get that you need to make a profit but if you cant complete your end of the agreement then you need to come off of some of that pocketed money and keep your end of the agreement. I wish I had tried to settle my debt alone. At least then that $18,000 would have actually got to my debtors.
