    Pattern of Complaint:

    According to information in BBB files, Spring Legal Group shows patterns alleging Contract Issues, Service Issues, and Refund Issues.

    BBB files show a pattern of complaint alleging difficulty in obtaining contracted services from Spring Legal Group. Allegedly, consumers are in debt negotiation contracts with Spring Legal Group, where they are instructed to perform monthly deposits into a bank account that Spring Legal Group explained would be used to pay the consumer’s debtors and creditors.

    Consumers state that they are continuously contacted by creditors, debtors, and courts requesting payments or appearances at which time they reach out to Spring Legal Group for assistance or request a refund for the unrendered services, the amount of money in the accounts is substantially less than what was deposited. No explanation other than service fees are provided. When requesting an itemized billing, the requests go unanswered.
