After reading three other complaints about Law Offices of John M. Ribarich/aka New Horizon & Associates, LLC, the same exact thing happened to me.  They asked for $7,000 up front and additional money to pay for credit card debt handled by Consumer Advocate Group.  Over 9 months later, we were asked to come in and sign loan documents.  The office staff were very unprofessional and watched TV while we were signing.  They did not explain anything to us until after we signed and then we were told that they could only help us with the second mortgage, only the first.  This was not told to us.  From the beginning we informed them that we needed to consolate the two loans.  They told us we would have to pay $25,000 to the bank to get out of the 2nd loan and that the only other alternative would be to file bankruptcy.  They also have been hounding us to pay them an additional $2,000 for something, in the end, they did not help us with.  I noticed that they have a clean record with BBB.  Anyone reading this who has a similar problem with this law office needs to file a complaint with BBB fast before they harm additional families.  We will now have to file bankruptcy and lose our home.

I would like to just clear a small piece of information up on this report. Consumer Advocate Group is actually adebtsettlementmarketing company based in Newport Beach, Ca. We have never been a loan mod company nor do we associate ourselves with John Ribarich Law and New Horizon and associates' work. We are simply a debt settlement marketing company who has worked with New Horizon to help marketdebtsettlementservices. I would appreciate Consumer Advocate Group's name be taken off this report as we do pride ourselves in the way we do business and compliance with all laws. We do not put up with neglectful, irresponsible or fraudulent acts in our company nor do we collect up front fees. I also dont do loan mods so this report is false in stating Consumer Advocate Group anywhere in it. If for any reason there is a complaint about our debt settlement marketing services please feel free to contact us at info@myconsumeradvocategroup.com and we will be happy to help you sort out your details.



Thank you,



Consumer Advocate Group
