ST. PAUL, Minn. (KFGO) — Two debt settlement companies illegally collected customer fees and misrepresented their services to provide full refunds to affected Minnesotans.
In a settlement with Attorney General Keith Ellison, Financial Solutions Group and Accelerated Debt Settlement must pay Minnesota over $1 million, which Ellison’s office will use to refund consumers.
The companies allegedly charged customers hundreds or thousands of dollars in illegal upfront fees in exchange for suspicious promises to settle their debt for less than what they owed.
