ATLANTA (Legal Newsline) – Three plaintiffs who negotiated settlements with a woman they accused of taking their money without providing the student loan debt services she promised say they are still waiting on their money.
Racketeering lawsuits said Julie Queler controlled a company that bought sales leads to identify individuals with large student loan balances, as well as another that called those people in order to refer them to the GM Law Firm.
The plaintiffs alleged they agreed to pay 50 percent of the total private student loan balance in monthly payments for 60 months. The suit states the payments were not applied in any way to their student loan balances and instead were fees that have been kept by the defendants.
A March 2 court filing from plaintiff Zachary Hodges said Queler negotiated a settlement of the three lawsuits against her but has not paid up. Hodges was to receive $25,000, while Vivian Grijalva agreed to $55,000 and Brian Winkler $50,000.
The defendants named in the suit are Kevin Mason, GM Law Firm, National Legal Staffing Support LLC, Chantel L. Grant, National Legal Staffing Support, Reliant Account Management LLC, Resolvly LLC, Gregory Fishman, Julie Queler, Benjamin Zuckerman, Berger Singerman, Daszkal Bolton, John and Jane Doe defendants 1-5 and XYZ business entity defendants 1-5.
