Update February 14, 2013
A reader said: “I knew those names sounded familiar, Consumer Law Associates paid EFA Processing over 85 percent of their “legal fees” and the Consumer Law Associates “attorneys” Tom Panuthos and Will Grafton also worked in the EFA offices. Consumer Law Associates shut down to new clients last year, but I wonder if Ken Talbert and his “hedge fund” sued any of their clients. And who is Bill Talbert?”
I have no idea if the allegations made by the reader are accurate. The reader referred me to these court documents. They do mention a William R. Talbert and New Leaf Debt. – Source
