Quick Answer: When debt relief companies like Litigation Practice Group refuse refunds after providing no documented services, consumers should implement a structured escalation approach including formal complaints and potentially legal action. After paying $283 monthly for 17 months with no progress reports or creditor negotiations, this client has grounds to pursue recovery of fees paid for undelivered services.
Question:
Dear Steve,
I have been paying Litigation Practice Group $283 for 17 months for debt relief! I was told that my debt would be relieved in 18 to 24 months!
Claiming money you are owed is one good day. What you do over the following year is what actually changes your position.
In the latest issue (Sep 16): The truck was $28,999 online. At the desk it’s $31,400. As of yesterday, the FTC says the ad was the lie.
I write Your Money Actually most weekdays — actionable money information you will not find anywhere else, and the small decisions that compound. It is free, I sell nothing, and I take no money from any company I write about.
After watching my credit deteriorate, I decided to pay off my creditors and cancel my agreement with Litigation Practice Group!

They told me I was not eligible for a refund of the money I paid to them! They did nothing for me, other than to send me a text each month telling me they were going to debit my account for payment!
I never received any progress report on how my case was proceeding, and I never received any proof that they had even negotiated with my creditors in question!
LPG Told me that I was not eligible for a refund! How can I get my money returned to me? Thank you
John

Dear John,
You should read this guide of mine and think about implementing a structured and escalating approach to seeking a mutually agreeable divorce from LPG.
Dealing With Debt? Understanding your options is the first step. See how all your debt relief options compare — including ones most sites won’t tell you about. The Find Your Path quiz gives a recommendation based on your actual numbers, and the Scam-O-Meter checks any company’s complaint history before you sign.

i started my case with LPG in Aug.2021 paid for 18 months and as of today i have not received and results. Had to pay off one of my credit cards myself and now they have giving my account to another law firm
My first payment is November 3rd with LPG law….after reading the reviews better now I’m scared. Should I notify my bank to do a stop payment. Please what should I do?
The only one that can tell you what to do is you.
As with any company, you should evaluate the company and promises independent of what a salesperson tried to sell you. Who do you want making choices for you, the salesperson or yourself? If you then decide LPG is the right company for you, great. If not, you will feel comfortable with that decision.

There are at least 2 class action suits pending against Litigation Practice Group. One in Georgia and one in Mississippi. I am leave counsel for the Georgia litigation.
I’m a Georgia resident that has been scammed as well and the LPG law group has refused to give me a refund as well. What can I do? How do I keep track of the class action lawsuit in Georgia and make sure I’m included in the class. I just want my money back. They did nothing for me. Thanks
