I am writing to make a complaint against HK Recovery Group , Inc. who collected a money judgement for me that I previously petitioned the courts to approve. My case was initially won in city court against previous rental occupants who refused to pay their rent. A judge granted me an approval to seek a judgment against the defendants. I placed a judgement against the defendants at the judges request, but was unable to collect on the judgement. I contacted HK Recovery Group , Inc. to assist me with getting the monetary judgment. I received a letter and check from HK Recovery Group Inc., dated XXXX in the amount of {$38.00}. The letter attached to the check was itemized for their services rendered. The total amount of the check was for {$410.00}. According to HK Recovery Group , Inc., their services are supposed to be 33 % of whatever amount is recovered. I was not informed of excessive expenses and commission fees. The amount sent to me does not add up fairly. And, I am very disappointed and confused with this deceptive act. I am requesting assistance in this matter. I have provided supporting documents for your review.

Good afternoon, I will try to make this account as short as possible, while also including relevant information. XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX, I had to take a former acquaintance to small claims court for {$4000.00}. I won the case and was awarded a judgement. To my recollection, I contracted with a debt collection agency called XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX or so to collect this money. To my knowledge, this contract expired after 3 years. SIX years later ... I received a call from a company called HK Recovery Service. They informed me that they have received {$1900.00} from my acquaintance. They also told me they will withhold a 33 % fee. They also charged my acquaintance {$2000.00} in interest- which is 50 % interest. I believe HK Recovery is scamming people left and right. They tel me that I have a contract with them ... but they can not present a copy of that contract upon request.
