To help a friend out that needed some legal services, I wrote a check for him to Pre-Paid Legal Services. His CDL was at stake so I thought it was a good idea for him to get a lawyer. I did not complete any application for their services.
When the time came for him to go to court, the "lawyer" could not be contacted.
My checking account was overdrawn so I reconciled my account and discovered that there were drafts on my account. After contacting my bank and discovering where the drafts were coming from, I contacted Pre-Paid Legal Services.
I explained to the representative the situation and was told to mail a notarized affidavit to the company. I did so. When I did not receive any response from Pre-Paid Legal, I called them back and was told that they mailed a check. I have yet to receive all of my money back. When I called the company back, they told me that I would have to wait 30 days from the day they mailed the check. When I called back on the 30th day, I was told that they had my signature on an application on file and I was told that I had to wait another 30 days, a total 60 days. All I did was write a check for my friend. The account was in my friend's name so why would they have my name on any application? What a surprise!
Not only did they scam my friend, but they illegally drafted funds from my bank account and will not give me all of my money back! I am sure I am not the only one who has filed complaints but why are they still allowed to conduct business in this manner?
