I had accumulated a lot of credit card debt during college, and was unable to pay my bills as the interest rates only kept going up. I signed up with a debt settlement company called Credit Solutions, and my creditors were supposed to negotiate through CS, since they had my power of attorney.
Instead, Bank of America contacted Rubin and Rothman to handle my case. They froze my checking account for 3 weeks, and made me come up with a large sum of money to pay them off. Now I have to pay the rest of my debt at $600 a month with 10% interest! If I had that money to begin with, I never would have been in this situation!
The lawyer I speak with on a regular basis, Larry Burns, is obnoxious and unwilling to cooperate. He said that either I have to come up with $5,000 in two weeks, or I have to pay them $600 a month for the next three years. How can their law firm benefit if I wind up declaring bankruptcy as a result? Ridiculous, rude, and obnoxious.
I tried speaking with a lawyer, and it seems there is not much I can do. Any advice?
