Ms. Weller called me back yesterday and here is a summary of the call.
1) The Cal. AG has been receiving complaints and FDRS issued refunds, but did NOT pay the debts.
They then sent a letter to FDRS and they refund the amount paid. That’s because the people who submit the complaints don’t demand the FULL amount of all enrolled debts.
As I described in detail in previous posts, the money you paid to FDRS isn’t nearly enough to pay for your greatly INCREASED debts (fees, interest, legal fees) and your credit rating is DESTROYED.
Hopefully you qualify for BANKRUPTCY if FDRS doesn’t pay your debts.
2) The complaints the Cal. AG received SUCK!
Ms. Weller explained in detail that they will not act unless the consumers PROVE that they have been wronged. They expect consumers to prove their case just as in court. They are NOT acting on behalf of consumers and working to prevent fraud, but they act as JUDGES and you are expected to be capable of submitting a comprehensive and fully documented complaint.
You have to include your contract, the FDRS advertisements and correspondence with FDRS for the AG to act on your complaint.
I told Ms. Weller that I have TRIED to help FDRS screwees who were simply not capable of sending me the documents I requested. So many of the victims have serious medical problems and of course they’re all broke.
Do NOT send originals, always make copies.
3) The Cal. AG don’t seem to care about the FDRS unlicensed practice of law
I find that shocking. Didn’t ANYONE submit the legal filings prepared for FDRS with their complaint?
4) Cal. AG doesn’t have the funds for investigations.
Ms. Weller stated that they receive about 2,500 complaints a month. Big freaking deal? Give me a break, a “small business” could EASILY handle those complaints with 20 employees.
The woman in charge of the Mohave county zoning violations has to deal with well over a hundred open cases BY HERSELF. And she even has to personally inspect the properties.
Additionally, the state gets PAID for successful prosecutions. I just posted AG Brown’s press release about CashCall and the state gets $1 million! Of course they get NOTHING when they FAIL to act, FAIL to freeze accounts and allow the criminals to hide the assets. Read my last post, about the FL AG recovery of funds from Hess Kennedy.
And if the morons in charge of California’s finances had half a brain and/or weren’t so corrupt, California would have a budget SURPLUS like North Dakota:

5) The Cal. AG don’t seem to think there’s anything wrong with FDRS stealing peoples’ money
That was the most shocking revelation. That the people in charge of determining which companies to pursue don’t see that FDRS is a 200% fraud is simply inconceivable. How can you look at the FDRS ads and literature and not realize that they are defrauding consumers?
Yes, I know, the complaints submitted by the victims suck. But were they THAT bad? I don’t have copies of the complaints and I don’t have the time and money to order them through freedom of information requests, but even if ALL complaints sucked, can’t somebody put two and two together?
6) They are not allowed to access blogs.
Ms. Weller has never even been to this blog or to any of my sites with my research on FDRS. Can you imagine that an investigator is NOT allowed to research the web?
They’re so stupid, they don’t know the difference between porn and consumer complaints and reports of frauds and scams? The investigators are going to spend their work day chatting with hot dates instead of working if they have web access?
I have received my share of inquiries from state investigators about scams, even from California, I think as recently as last year. They read my blogs and asked for more info.
The investigators for the State of California Attorney General are not allowed to research the web.
Maybe it’s about time California falls into the ocean. The mortgage crisis has been caused in large part by California’s refusal to investigate complaints about mortgage brokers. Instead, a NOTORIOUS junk faxer of totally deceptive mortgage ads had been appointed to chairman of the CFHA by Schwarzenegger.
CONCLUSION
Send your complaints with ALL RELEVANT correspondence with FDRS to:
California Attorney General
Public Inquiry Unit
PO Box 944255
Sacramento, CA 94244
POST your complaints publicly. MAKE them act.
You’re dealing with MORONS at the California AG and you have to treat them like 10-year old kids, spell it all out for them. And btw, Ms. Weller told me that she is NOT the person deciding which companies to pursue. She did not disclose who those dimwits are.
I’m now properly motivated for my OPEN LETTER to AG Jerry Brown.
And, I will help my client who now has a Household judgment against him and just got served by Citi with HIS AG complaint. It’ll be a PACKAGE since there are so many documents.
He will demand payment of ALL debts enrolled with FDRS.
I too fell that I have been defrauded by FDRS. I payed them well over $600 over the past year and half. Recently I went to contact them and their recording told me to go to http://www.selfhelpcenter.us. What a scam. All of my past due payments have been charged off, but can they now come back after me? I don’t have the money to pay them even with a refund from FDRS. The government created this mess thay should clean it up. How can these frauds operate inside the U.S.? How? Because our government is part of the problem. It is time that our elected officials take action against these preditors.
“I don’t have the money to pay them even with a refund from FDRS.”
That’s why you settle for LESS than the full balance — if you have to. If you don’t know how, subscribe to CreditFactors.
Many FDRS clients now have judgments against them because they filed the moronic FDRS legal documents instead of learning about the law and preparing their defenses.
Of course the government LOVES scammers like FDRS, as evidenced by the California AG’s APPROVAL of this fraud. They got MANY complaints and they did exactly NOTHING.
YOU finance the government.
YOU are in charge.
It is YOUR duty to take a stand for YOUR rights and YOUR country.
There are many people who are simply too ignorant, too ill, too old and/or in too much pain to fight. You wrote a coherent comment and you certainly appear to be capable of taking care of your problems.
