Complaint / Review
Ostling and Associates
Bankruptcy Attorney

I meet with Michael Blissenbach of their staff at their Rockford, IL office the first of March was told that the TOTAL COST WOULD BE $969. This consisted of their fee of $550, $306 for the Court filing fee, and $100 for the surrender documents for the home. At that time I PAID THEM $500 in CASH and was given a receipt for same. Their receipts are nothing special and do not bear the firm name or another indication of the Ostling Firm name and I am sure that this is a ploy that they planned carefully in that these are available from ANY OFFICE SUPPLY SOURCE. Thus they can CLAIM THAT THEY NEVER WROTE IT!!! I sent the next 6 weeks playing phone tag. Never getting beyond their telephone BOILER ROOM, they kept sending me to a voice mail, NO ONE WAS EVER available. I finally left a MESSAGE April 20 THAT ON MAY 1st. I Wanted EVERYTHING READY and I was given a 10am appointment. On May 1 @ 9:15, I finally receive MY VERY FIRST AND ONLY RETURNED PHONE CALL from Mike telling me that NOTHING HAD BEEN DONE YET and that he would give it to his legal ass... The following day to get started. I told him I had hired someone to bring me to his office based on the previously scheduled appointment that was given to me and that they WERE already on their way to pick me up. I was told it would be a TOTAL WAISTE OF TIME for me to come as HE HAD NOTHING READY and had not EVEN STARTED IT. I told him that since I was already committed to pay for the ride I would be PICKING UP EVERYTHING AND WANTED MY DEPOSIT RETRNED TO ME AS THEY HAD PROVIDED NOTHING BEYOND THE ADVERTISED ""FREE""" initial consultation. When I arrived I WAS GIVEN THE DOCUMENTS THAT I had done but was told that a check would have to be sent from their MAIN OFFICE. Today I was able to find their MAIN OFFICE PHONE NUMBER and called inquiring about the refund check and when I should expect it. The lady??? Who answered was EXTREMELY RUDE AND TOLD ME THAT THEY had just received the documents (an obviously a lie as these are in MY POSSESSION) and that I Wouldn't receive the REFUND FOR MY DEPOSIT minus their HOURLY FEE for ANY WORK that had been performed and hung up telling to NEVER CALL THEM AGHAIN!!! WHAT WORK??? The did nothing. The first meeting is advertised as free — if they plan on charging me that's false and misleading advertising and that is fraud!!! Fraud is a criminal felany!!! As i had already done all on the leg work myself. I went ahead and purchased the software myself and am filing PRO-SE it will only me the Court filing fee of $306 plus the $50 for the software program and my friend can also se the software to do his. I am turning this over to the Illinois Attorney General's Consumer Fraud Department alsong with copies of ALL RECORDS DOCUMENTING EVERY PHONE CALL I MADE. Let All join together in a class action against this scum bucket. Begin by filing a complaint at the Illinois Judicial Review and disciplinary board website. Https://www.iardc.org/index.html and filing a complaint form with the Attorney General's Consumer Frauds division.
