The following review was generated as the result of a request made by a tipster (send in your tips here) who wanted me to look at this allegedly new debt relief company.
While the company says their corporate office is in Texas, a search of the Texas Secretary of State records could locate no company registered under the name of World law Debt Assistance.
Again, according to the Texas Secretary of State, World Law Debt is a registered assumed name of Swift Rock Financial of Lago Vista, Texas. The name is registered to Roger D. Peugh and Derin Scott is the governing person for Swift Rock Financial.
The company also claims that it’s affiliate business office is located in California but the State of California has no company registered to do business under the name World Law Debt or World Law Debt Assistance.
I could not find any independent verification that any company named World Law Debt or World Law Debt Assistance was located at the California address.
The Texas post office box has been used by a number of people, including:
While the company claims they have been in existence since 1998, the website was created in 2012 and there is no evidence that a company in either California or Texas is registered to do business under their name.
The website for World Law Debt Assistance provides some testimonials but there is no supporting documentation regarding what these testimonials represent. Are they full settlements of all the persons debt, partial settlements, and what percentage of active clients do these testimonials represent?
Maybe even more alarming is that they list a number of states they allegedly have clients in but they do not appear to be licensed or registered to do business in those states. – Source
The BBB has no listing for a company named World Law Debt Assistance.
A company World Law Debt in Texas is listed with an F rating and associated with Derin Scott. – Source
Maybe more disturbing for me, is the fact that companies operating under the name World Law Debt have made similar claims before about large national and international networks of attorneys. A claim that has been relatively unsupported in the debt relief arena. My previous research found that one variation of the company was linked to an possible and attorney that was licensed to practice law in Texas but located in the Czech Republic.
I would recommend that anyone considering using this company should read The Ultimate Consumer Guide to Checking Out a Debt Relief Company Before You Sign On the Line.
Please check out the company for yourself before handing over any personal information.

Shareholder Board Chairman Brad Haskins is an attorney specializing in complex international law matters for U.S. Fortune 500 and international clients. In July of 1998, Mr. Haskins joined a group of Zurich-based investors active in the Central European region and became an equity partner in Zurich New Europe Investors. The partnership, an equity investment trust, is chartered to invest in technology companies throughout Europe and North America.
Prior to joining ZNEI, Mr. Haskins was a partner at the international law firm Altheimer & Gray. Mr. Haskins concentrated on international civil and corporate law matters and was based in Prague, Istanbul, Kiev, and Chicago. He also developed an extensive legislative practice involving Fortune 100 corporations and governments throughout Europe. He established and controlled all of the firm’s lucrative operations in Moscow.
Mr. Haskins began his international law practice with Weil, Gotshal & Manges in New York City where he was involved in international finance, mergers and acquisitions, technology venture capital, complex custody matters and “white-collar” criminal defense, including securities fraud litigation.
In 1990, Mr. Haskins was the Republican nominee for Michigan’s Third District Seat in the U. S. House of Representatives. He received approximately 43% of the vote in the 580,000-person district and was one of only a few candidates personally endorsed by President George Bush.
Mr. Haskins is a graduate of the University of Michigan Law School and earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan, Honors College with a double major in economics and political science. He conducted university-sponsored research on Japanese management and investment theory at Tokyo University and the Japan Foundation in Tokyo, Japan. He also attended the University of London, studying European political economy. As a student, Mr. Haskins clerked with Chief Justice G. Mennen Williams on the Michigan Supreme Court. He also served as a legislative assistant to Member of Parliament Anthony Beaumont-Dark in the British Parliament.
That’s great but he’s the one I was referring to that on last check was living in the Czech Republic. See https://getoutofdebt.org//45107/world-law-debt-sends-mailer-that-leads-to-this-sales-call-listen
Haskins does not appear to be licensed to practice law in California, only Texas and are you saying he is the one solely behind World Law Debt Assistance, an apparently unregistered company?
Haskins’ past was also the subject of a June 23, 1992, Jackson Citizen Patriot article that’s worth reading. See the link above.
