Resurgence Legal Group, P.C.

F’ing bunch of crooks! Amazing they want to law school to become debt lawyers. you must be proud of yourselves!

an addendum to adam’s post above. if you are served by resurgence, go to court, fight it. you should be able to settle with them for ten percent of the debt they are claiming and get on a payment plan where you are paying them a pittance every month until it is paid off.

So, this is a group of lawyers that preys on the week and ignorant. They buy up unpaid debt from big banks for probably pennies on the dollar, then they sue the crap out of everyone on the list. I don’t think they care if you’re disabled, unemployed, are trying to pay them back. All you have to do to see how they’ve hurt others is search for is the name of the company they used to go under, Resurgence Financial LLC. If you do a corporation/​llc search on the Illinois secretary of state’s website, you’ll see that the «primary office» of the old Resurgence Financial is the new Resurgence Legal Group… ie, same group of scumbags, err., i’m sorry, debt collectors, lawyers, whatever.
If you get served papers to appear in court because of these people, start doing your research NOW, and do not ignore the notices. Their strategy works most of the time because you don’t show up in court — if you don’t show up, they can get instant judgement against you, and you end up owing, no matter what the facts really are.
These people are all over the web with the way they tear people apart. Read the horror stories of them acting on people on disability, people with limited income, etc. But, stay informed. Know your case, know what your rights are, and do not sign anything until you know to what you’re agreeing. Know the laws in your state, and know what your rights are — in some cases, the law may allow you to choose arbitration as a first measure, which you should examine, since it often scares these law firms away… most people make it very easy for them to rip them apart. DO YOUR RESEARCH!
There are also lawyers out there that can help you against these guys. It never hurts to find them and see what your options are.
If you feel like you have been abused by this group, you can contact the attorney general’s office of your state. In Illinois, this is Lisa Madigan.
Write her office a letter — or at least, call them or send them an email. Document how you feel you have been abused, and let her office know.
You may also want to write a complaint with the Better Business Bureau against this law office. In the Chicago area, you can find the BBB’s info here:
Above all, good luck, and for these predatory lawyers, their motives, and how they manage to sleep comfortably at night, may the grace of nature have greater understanding than me.
