      Between the dates of 9/20/22 and 9/22/22 I was charged 10 service charge fees backdated to dates I already paid service charge fees for duplicate amounts totalling $1416.40. We are now closing in on 3 months since this occurred and there has been no communication. I call almost weekly and ask for information and I am told every time that they are aware and a manager is looking into it. When I asked if I could speak to a manager about it they provided me the customer support line for global holdings which is the bank they use, of course they told me the matter is unrelated to them and there is nothing they can do about it. My payments should now be 100% complete and done, yet I am now still getting charges from the bank account for maintenance and whatnot because I have yet to get the refund sent to the account so the funds have not been dispersed to the accounts to close them out.

      I was contacted by Royal Legal Group to approve a negotiated settlement with a creditor. It turns out the settlement offer had been rescinded by the creditor. I had approved a draft to be taken out of my account starting Nov. 1, however, the next business day (10/11/22) $1350 was taken out depleting my available balance. I contacted the company 5 times in the next 2 weeks requesting the amount be reimbursed and to cancel any remaining scheduled drafts. As of my latest contact today there remained drafts scheduled to my account and the funds had not been reimbursed. There was no email or other correspondence provided to indicate completion of my requests, no transaction or reference numbers provided.

      I contracted with Royal Legal in July 2018 to pay 717.00 a month for 4 years. I had 6 debtors enrolled in the program. I later paid off one of the debtors outside the program thus reducing the number of debtors to five. For the four years of the program everything went as advertised. Royal Legal made payments to my debtors, took out their fee and we moved on. When the last debtor was paid in July 2022 I had 2207.80 left in my account. when I gave authorization for the settlement with the last debtor, I asked the Royal legal representative how I would receive the overage out of my ****** ******** account he said it would be direct deposited to my bank in 7 to 10 days. after that time frame I called Royal legal and asked where my money was and they said a check would be sent in the next 3 to 5 days. After that time period I called back and was told the 2207.80 dollars went to fees that were never charged. was not happy! I printed out the records of my ****** ******** Acct. showing every transaction for the entire 4 year period. I wrote down every time a debtor was paid Royal legal got their fee. I never missed a payment during the 4 year period. Total amount of debt to be consolidated was 41883.00 times 25%-Royal Legal fees=10470.75 that is what was owed Royal Legal. At that time Royal legal had taken out 10666.20. a difference of 195.45 that was over paid. The 2207.80 they took was not for fees they did not charge. I called back and talked to a supervisor named ****** ***** and he said he printed out the 4 yrs of payments I was looking at and saw that there was a mistake and he needed a few days to have it looked at. After 2 weeks I called and talked to a representative named ******* and she looked at the notes and said a check for 2403.25 had been mailed on August 17, 2022. I said ok Thank You. On Monday Aug. 21st I received a call from ****** ***** telling me he needed one more day to have this checked out. No check.

      [To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, you must give us a reason why you are rejecting the response. If no reason is received your complaint will be closed as Assumed Answered]

      Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because:they have been working on it for 51 days to look over 6 pages of transactions. They also do not call when they say they will. I hand copied all the transactions on the 6 pages to add them up in 1 hour and they are on day 51. They are giving me the runaround.

      Regards,

      ***** *****
