On November 28, 2012, Judge James Selna of the United States District Court for the Central District of California certified a class of consumers located nationwide who, since 2008, signed up for debt negotiation and settlement prorater services with a company called Pathway Financial Management, located in Garden Grove, California.
Notice to the class is being prepared and should be disseminated soon. Victims who have signed up with Pathway and are interested in this action can review the attached order. We will also soon post the Second Amended Complaint, which will provide more of the background details of the litigation, including an explanation of the claims and why, in our opinion, Pathway appears to have violated state prorate laws by charging millions of dollars in upfront fees.
