We were solicited by a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX. They called us and told us that they would be able to lower our monthly payments by restructuring our debt. We were told that they had an attorney on board for our protection. We signed up on a Friday. Things went very fast and they were very persistent and aggressive. They asked us if we could wire them our down payment for the program. We decided not to do that and knew that if things went sour we would never be able to recover our funds via a wire transfer. I should have known then something seemed shady. After doing our research about the program over the weekend we decided the program really wasn't for us. They told us on our confirmation call on Monday that we were not able to speak to their supposed attorney and we were coached to stop paying our bills and default on our loans. In addition we were told to stop picking up our creditors ' phone calls. That is exactly what my partner and I did NOT want to do. We were told a lot of things on that Friday to get us to sign up that just didn't turn out to be the case. We never wanted to stop paying our bills and not pick up the phone when our creditors ' called. In the state of NJ, you have 72 hours to rescind a contract. On that Monday, after our confirmation call we realized the program was not what they said it was so I immediately e-mailed them asking them to cancel the contract and refund our down payment immediately. They were then very defensive and stated that they would not allow a refund. The law is the law, I am requesting a full refund of the money I put down for services not rendered. These people are extremely shady and the public needs to know to stay far away from them at all costs!!
