I have been with Park Group for 1 1/2 yrs and am almost completely debt free. Patrick P. is fantastic, informative and easy to get in touch with. can’t understand why the others feel that they are scams I am VERY happy with the way they have and are handling things for me
I have been working with them for 4 years, I have been trying to contact this person by email, and phone, no answer. I am almost done, but it seems it is never going to end!
How do we know if you are all talking about the same Park Group Associates? There is one in D.C. and one in Brooklyn, NY. I’m contemplating working with the company in New York, but I did NOT receive a letter, just a phone call. Everything he told me on the phone seems to be legitimate to the best of my research. I’ve checked the website of American Fair Credit Council and saw the NY Park Group is a member, but NOT the one in Washington, D.C.
I just received the same scam letter. Â I am very relieved to hear that I am not the only one. Â Wow, so many of us with a $29K debt!!!! Love the site, thank you for putting my mind at ease!!!

I had received that same letter saying i owed 29k also. Does that actually go on my credit or not. Is it something I could just ignore?
I received a yellow envelope with a letter regarding a $29K outstanding debt in my name. I do not have any outstanding debts, so I did not know if this company is a scam or if someone stole my identity and charged up $29K in debt. I contacted Park Group Associates by phone many times, no answer and no return call to my voicemail. After finding their website, I emailed them, and here’s the response I received from Anthony Mundy at in**@*****************es.com: “I can understand your concern; let me explain very quickly where the information is being drawn from. We have a marketing agent that use’s statistical analysis to identify consumers that they believe have debt because you fit a profile of other consumers in your area that have been marketed in the past and did have debt. We don’t actually know how much debt each consumer has, or whether they even have debt at all, it’s impossible to know this information. However; through analytics, we’re usually pretty good at identifying which consumers should have debt. That’s why in the letter we state that the displayed debt amount is an estimate. It’s in the disclosures. Are you having any issues with your unsecured debts, are you finding it difficult to maintain your monthly obligations and still afford your necessary living expenses?” Hope this helps others!

Apple just released an iPhone app called Scam Detector. According to them, the app exposes over 350 of the most popular scams in the world. I am assuming some of them are on legal issues and law. Might be worth checking…

This company is a scam, here’s the response I received about the letter about my so called outstanding debt, from Anthony Mundy at Park Group: “I can understand your concern; let me explain very quickly where the information is being drawn from.

I’d love to see the mailer. Any chance you can fax or upload it to me here?
I declare BS.
A reputable lawyer is proud to name her reputable employer. And there is no reputable legal-model debt settlement company. Every one has turned out to be running the 50+15=55 scam once we pull back the curtain.
A skilled lawyer would not even take the time to read that letter. Every debt settlement provider depends on the customer having no comparative intelligence and no negotiating leverage. Fear, uncertainty, and doubt sell all debt settlement.
Maybe you have a law license, but you’re no lawyer. Go back under your rock.
I am an attorney and I provide services to clients of a REPUTABLE debt resolution company. A private client of mine received a letter from Park Associates Group, Inc. While I do not know if Park is reputable or not, I am disturbed by the letter and I am concerned that any possible client would be confused by being contacted by this company.
My client received a letter in a yellow envelope of the type usually reserved for govenment checks, which I find somewhat misleading in and of itself. The letter was not on letterhead – one had to read the fine print to learn of the sender’s identity. In fact, when I first read the letter, I thought it was from a debt collector or junk debt buyer, not a debt resolution company!
The second thing which struck me is that the company listed an alleged balance, implying that my client had one very large debt (which the client denies). Although some type of account number was listed, this certainly was not an original account number. Nor did this identify the original creditor. Again, this was misleading as a person was made to believe that they owe the amount stated to Park.
Thirdly, the letter stated that it was the “final notice”. The client never received any prior notices. This in itself is misleading as it suggests that this is somehow the last warning the client will receive prior to litigation.Â
Fourthly, the letter offered to “re-negotiate” the client’s debt. Without knowing anything about the debt – this can be dangerous as it might revive an already expired statute of limitations. I would not be encouraging clients to re-negotiate their debt without first knowing the client’s circumstances and whether payment of some kind is the best option.
Â
There are many ways to gain clients and while Park purports to be a legitimate debt resolution company that is a member of certain professional organizations, I question their tactics. Instead of attempting to reach out to clients struggling with debt by giving them help and hope, I find their letter to be a deliberately misleading attempt to frighten clients. While Park can do business however it wishes, motivation by fear suggests to me that they are more interested in preying upon the weak and defenseless than in genuinely helping those who need help.
