Description

Kevin Allen of Joseph & Williams advised my wife was being pursued for a judgement on a debt from 2019 and was able to settle the account that same day for $719.99. I asked for validation of the debt and was advised that this information cannot be released as it is evidence being held for the judgement to be served but I would have the opportunity to review the documents in front of an arbitrator if I decided not to pay that day. I reluctantly resolved the balance and have since done further research and all indicators point to scam. The original creditor Joseph & Williams advised of has zero record of any loan under my wife’s name and/or social security number. Joseph & Williams refuses to respond to any inquiries about the validity of the debt or any inquiries at all. It also appears that Joseph & Williams is a front for entities going by Cornerstone Resolution Group as well as Great Lakes Entities. See BBB complaint #23646318.
