Pre-Paid Legal Services
How the rip-off system works

Miscellaneous

I hired a Pre-Paid Legal firm to handle a bankruptcy for me. They told the their fee for this action was 600 to 800.00 so since I beling to the service I might get better service here. I hired them and suddenly the retainer becomes $944.00 total after I had sent them a check for $105.00 to look at my information. Well the other lawyer didnt raise his price buy once again, Oh, well.

We came to a point where I got a lump sum of money that had to be spent down or lose it so we put the action on hold. Months later we started again but suddenly I'm getting monthly bills. Well, admittadly, I was stupid and paid them till I got one for the Court Fees that I already paid. So obvious as the rip off is at this point, I go back and realise that I have paid an additional $500.00 to them and they are asking for another $250.00; this is paying twice... Crooks. Mind you this is at a 25% discount (ha, ha).

The good news is that a Bankruptcy action is virtually a commodity these days and in m y city you can get one all day for 800.00 to 1,000.00.By my calculatons, that means I should be paying 600 to 800.00 for this. Hmmmm.

I demanded a refund of the $688.00 overpayment from both Pre-Paid Legal and the Law Firm. I mentioned that either their advertising is plain and simply a lie or the lawyer is overcharging and I think that's fraud and since that bill was mailed to me, it's mail fraud. Just a little encouragement to refund my money.

Also, a friend is in jail this same week and asked me to call the Pre-Paid Lawyers for him. The law firm siad he will have to call himself and they wont accept a collet call and wont even start defending him till he pays them their retainer. Needles to say since he couldnt reach into his Jail House Issue overalls and pull out his wallet stuffed with thousand dollar bills, he's still in jail and hjoping on the skills of a public defender.

So dont believe them when they say Pre-Paid Legal protects you and provides legal representation to the middle class. What they really are is like your gynicologist raping you and Pre-Paid is the conduit to the doctors office.

I'm now disabled, unable to work and cant afford to get my bankruptcy since these lawyers stole my money.
