From the start of the relationship with Clearone, I was advised the company has the best negotiators to help resolve all debts and get a brand new start on my credit within 2 years. Also since Clearone would be entering the negotiations on my behalf, they would get a reduce principal amount from each creditor. I was instructed not to contact my creditors and if the creditors contact me to not speak to them under any circumstances as it would hamper the negotiations. The company has indicated to stop making payments on my credit cards. The company was collecting approximately {$600.00} from my bank account along with other fees. 

In XXXX, I received approximately 5 lawsuits from my various creditors for non-payment. ClearOne did nothing to help me and after speaking to a Senior leader at the company, they indicated certain debts were not being negotiated. I had to immediately respond to all lawsuits and in some cases settle outside of court with the creditors. I wrote a complaint letter to the senior team of ClearOne but nothing happened ( see letter attached ). 

As of this present day, largely my accounts are charged off. I had to resolve the lawsuits as best I could without an Attorney and negotiating with the creditors ' Attorneys. 

Further because of ClearOnes instructions to me to stop paying my accounts, it has had a : 1 ) Detrimental impact to my credit score 2 ) Has impacting my ability to get employment because employer run a background check as part of the employment process. The delinquent accounts are showing.

I've educated my lawyer regarding my aims and they are eager to consider that Credit Bureaus are responsible for their tenacious rebelliousness.
