Quick Answer: Legal Helpers Debt Resolution appears to have legitimacy issues based on customer experiences showing poor settlement results and payment failures. This customer paid $7,900 over two years but only had their smallest $680 debt settled, while LHDR failed to pay a agreed settlement resulting in a $3,682 levy against the client.
I live in nj and hired LHDR to help us pay our debts. After paying them about 7, 900.00 in almost 2 years all they settle was our smallest account for about 680.00 . One of the account which took us to court i I had to settle myself for 1600.00 . LHDR agreed to pay them, when they didn’t pay them ( we had the money in our account ) this account obtain a levy against us for 3,682.00 plus court fees.

Every weekday I read the enforcement actions, filings and fine print the outlets skip, and turn them into the one or two moves that actually improve your position — a rate worth moving for, a fee you can refuse, a deadline to beat before it costs you.

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.

Before You Sign Anything: Run any debt relief contract through the free Contract Decoder to spot hidden fees and unfair terms. Check the company’s complaint history with the Scam-O-Meter.
Compare Your Real Options: Most debt relief companies won’t tell you about all your options — especially the ones they can’t profit from. Credit counseling has a 21-27% completion rate. Settlement resolves about 1% of enrolled debts fully. Bankruptcy has a 95% discharge rate — and protects your retirement.

I wasn’t aware of a class action lawsuit – it’s October 2012, And they have my money & never went to court.
I have filed a complaint against Legal Helpers – have had very unsatisfactory contact with them – they never went to court for me – I couldn’t afford the court fees – but they Do have a lot of my money – more than once they told me I owed them extra money, because they hadn’t heard from me for a long time, and had to get my records out of “I’m not sure where” -and I owed them extra money. Lied to me in emails too. Extremely upsetting dealing with them. What to do now?
There’s at least one case going in federal court in Washington state. If the court certifies it as a class action and you’re in the class, then you’ll get a notice in the mail at some point about a proposed settlement if it settles. Most class actions settle instead of going to judgment. Then you’ll get a claim form so you can either send in for your amount of the settlement or say you’re opting out and filing your own lawsuit. If you don’t do anything with the claim form before the deadline on it, you won’t get anything.
In cases like this, chances are there won’t be much money left by the time it gets that far. If you want, I’ll be glad to see if I can help while there’s some money to get. I’m at 910 876 7001, chris@fairdebtlawyer.com.
