FTC sends second payment to people who paid for debt relief
What the FTC says about this program
The FTC is sending a second round of payments to people who lost money to a debt relief scam that used many names including National Landmark Service of United Recovery, Silverlake Landmark Recovery Group, Absolute Financial Services Recovery, AFSR Global Logistics, and Tri-Star.
The FTC filed lawsuits against these companies in September 2020. According to the lawsuit, the defendants called and left recorded messages in which they pretended to be from law firms. They scared people with threats of arrest or other legal action. The defendants continued to harass people until they paid, often for debts they didn’t owe.
The FTC sued National Landmark and Absolute Financial, and the defendants paid money to settle. The FTC is now using that money to provide refunds to people who filed a complaint about the defendants. The settlement also banned the defendants from debt collection in the future.
The FTC first sent payments in December 2024, which resulted in more than $464,000 in refunds. Because there is still money remaining in the fund, the FTC is sending 1,389 payments totaling more than $69,000 to people who accepted their first payment.
If you get a check, please cash it within 90 days.
