Type of a scam Credit Repair/Debt Relief

Heartland Legal Group LLC offered to settle my $40,000 credit card debts, called me several times, reassured me of their success, and after much paperwork, set me up with Global Holdings (ghllc.cm) for a bank account from which they would deduct $640.57 per month from my personal bank to settle with my creditors. After the first month, I saw that Heartland took all but 37.33 from my account "for legal fees" without even sendig letters (as promised) to my creditors saying that they represented me. The got me to sign a power-of-attorney letter. When I found out that taking fees up front before any settlement was offered WAS ILLEGAL, they said the fees were to go to pay retainer fees for my lawyers, should they me needed. I was told that if the lawyers were not needed to settle my debts, I would get none of those fees back. Another direct debit was taken from my account, in the amount of $640.57, and as I called my cancel my account/relationship with Heartland, I was told that I would not be refunded any fees, even though the compan had done absolutely nothing for me. Beware!!!! Heartland Legal Group, is not the Heartland law firm. It is a sham.
