Victim Josh Rozman, of Tampa, Fla., flanked Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, talks throughout a press meeting to announce appropriate action against a Chicago-area business collection agencies procedure which they allege coerced customers into spending pay day loan debts that the customers would not owe, Wednesday, March 30, 2016, in Chicago.
A large number of U.S. customers destroyed at the least $3.8 million after having a network of Westmont-based companies coerced them into having to pay loan debts which they either don’t owe or owed to other people, state and federal agencies stated Wednesday.
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, at a joint news meeting with Todd Kossow, the Federal Trade Commission’s Midwest acting manager, estimated that Illinois customers had been scammed away from about $1 million by six regional businesses, including Stark Recovery, Ashton resource Management, HKM Funding and Capital Harris Miller & Associates.
The FTC and state of Illinois have actually filed case in U.S. District Court in Chicago from the six organizations from Westmont, in DuPage County, and their operators, Hirsh Mohindra, Gaurav Mohindra and Preetesh Patel.
