    Current Alerts For This Business

    Pattern of Complaint:
    On December 29, 2023 BBB contacted Clear Creek Legal regarding a pattern of complaint.  BBB files indicate that this business has a pattern of complaints with consumers alleging they requested a refund, but that it was not received. They also state that they were told they could cancel at any time with no penalties, but that large fees were deducted from the money that they had put in escrow leaving them with a small percent of the money they had contributed. The cost of the program is higher than paying off debt without the company’s services.  In addition, consumers are not aware of their debt account status. Consumers claim the company allows their debts to go into default due to neglect. 
     
    As of January 26, 2024 the business has failed to respond to the BBB's request to voluntarily address the pattern of complaint.
     
    Accreditation Revocation:
    On 09/21/2023 this business's accreditation in the BBB was revoked by the BBB's Board of Directors due to failure by the business to adhere to the BBB requirement that Accredited Businesses meet and abide by the following standards:

    3. Honestly represent products and services, including clear and prominent disclosures of all material terms.
    Be clear in all written and verbal representations and include all relevant facts in all transactions.

    4. Openly identify the nature, location, and ownership of the business, and clearly and prominently disclose all material facts that bear on a customer’s decision to buy.

    4A. Upon request, promptly provide BBB with all information requested to ensure adherence to BBB standards.

    6. Address disputes forwarded by BBB quickly and in good faith.

    Additional business information

    Additional Info:
    On September 6, 2023, BBB requested in part the following information to aid in our understanding of the business: names of principals and their past associations in any debt relief or financial service business; names, roles, and contact information for any subcontractors used in marketing or providing service to customers; procedures and guidelines for working with creditors; copies of advertising; written agreements; and disclosures that explain fees.

    As of Nov 14, 2023, the business has responded to some of BBB’s requests for information while declining to provide other information.  As a result the BBB does not have a clear understanding of the business.

    BBB suggests you read and understand company promotional materials, contracts, disclaimers and check company references prior to doing business.

    I researched fully & entered into a contract with Clear ***** Legal in July of 2023 for debt **************************** It was explained to me that they had LONG STANDING relationships with almost all major ****************** And there was NO question that they would be able to STOP the interest & negotiate my balances to on average 40% less than they were. I was to pay $554.00/monthly starting immediately, to go into an acct that would be used to pay off my debt once they were settled. Additionally I was told I would be assigned a lawyer, kept apprised of their progress and be out of debt in approximately 4 years. I also could CANCEL my contract at any time prior to resolving the accts & get a full refund. I knew my credit would suffer, but ** thought it would be worth the price of getting out of debt. I was never late, had good credit, but couldn't get ahead with the interest rates. I have been served by one of the creditors on two accounts, suing me for breach of contract, and they have added of 5K in additional interest. fees. I contacted Clear Creek immediately, sent over both summons & try to reach my lawyer. He doesn't work there anymore. I WAITED on hold multiple times for over an hour+, only to be told NO accts are settled and no lawyer has been assigned "yet". Last call was 8 weeks after summons, still no lawyer, I cant get in touch with them, they've done nothing for the over $6000.00 I've paid, I am being sued with NO representation and I cant figure out the status of any of the other accounts. I asked my bank to block their automatic withdrawals and they said they did, but they were still able to take out the $554.00 after I did that. I want them to refund ALL of my money, fees included & I want to know the status of my accts so i can try to resolve them myself. I am in much worse financial situation that prior to singing up for this "relief".
