In mid-2024, I was hired by a company that required me to provide personal information as part of the onboarding process. I was informed this would create an affiliate portal to track referrals, but I was never told of any associated fees, nor did I sign any contract.
Shortly after providing my information, I received an invoice from Business Paralegal Corporation for $499.99, labeled as an "Affiliate Setup Fee." This invoice was completely unexpected, as I never authorized or agreed to any such charge. Despite immediately notifying my employer and being assured that the issue would be resolved, Business Paralegal Corporation continued sending daily invoices, adding a $50 late fee for each day the invoice remained unpaid.
Within days, the amount owed increased significantly, and despite multiple attempts to contact Business Paralegal Corporation and clarify that I never agreed to their services, they refused to cancel the invoice. The company insisted I had enrolled in their program and owed them money, using a computer-generated signature they claim authorized the transaction—something I never knowingly signed.
Despite my resignation from my job, Business Paralegal Corporation continued to harass me with invoices, phone calls, and emails. They also threatened to report the debt to credit bureaus and potentially escalate the situation to collections. The debt, which started at $499.99, grew into the thousands, purely through late fees for a service I never authorized, used, or received.
Business Paralegal Corporation’s actions have been deceptive, fraudulent, and harassing. I am urging anyone considering working with them to be extremely cautious and to ensure they do not become victims of similar predatory practices. This company has demonstrated unethical behavior and a complete disregard for fair and transparent business practices.
