West Virginia AG Settles With Debt Collectors
February 23rd, 2010. Published under Business Scams, Fraud. No Comments.
According to the State Journal , West Virginia Attorney General Darrell McGraw has reached settlements with three companies that used very different approaches to collect debts that were often disputed, sometimes non-existent, and in the case of one company, so old that the time to sue had expired. The three companies – Allied Interstate of Minneapolis, Minn; Jefferson Capital Systems of St. Cloud, Minn; and Wilhelm, West, Kacey & Associates (WWKA), of Canton, Ga. – promised to conform their practices with state and federal debt collection laws in the future. Collectively, they agreed to make restitution, cash refunds, and to cancel debts totaling $404,091.48 for 446 West Virginia consumers. Anyone wishing to file a complaint about a consumer matter or to alert the Attorney General about unfair or deceptive practices may do so by calling the Consumer Protection Hot Line, 800-368-8808.
