BRONSTIN v. United Debt Settlement, LLC

What this case is about

Consumers are suing United Debt Settlement, a debt relief company, alleging that it made misleading promises about its ability to settle customers' debts for significantly less than what they owed. The plaintiffs claim that the company charged substantial fees while failing to deliver the debt reduction results it advertised, leaving customers in worse financial shape than before they enrolled in the program. Consumers allege they were led to believe the service would effectively negotiate down their outstanding balances with creditors, but instead faced continued collection actions, damaged credit, and lost money paid to the company. The proposed class would include individuals across the country who paid for United Debt Settlement's debt relief services and did not receive the promised benefits.
