If you have been contacted by the Financial Document Assistance Administration or have been enrolled in the Financial Document Assistance Program, you may be a victim of financial fraud, and it is important you read the following message to understand the severity of this scam and what you can do about it.

Financial Document Assistance Administration is a fraudulent company located in Baltimore, Maryland that claims to offer Debt Validation Services that will get you out of debt in 12 to 24 months by using federal laws and filing consumer protection documents on your behalf to audit your creditors. There are no such laws that allow you to challenge legitimate debts and become debt free without bankruptcy. This is simply a lie and a scam.

In the past this company has gone by a different name, Federal Debt Assistance Association, but the scam still remains the same. First they send you an “official-looking” government letter in a yellow envelope, with a government seal on it. Then on the letter, they will have your estimated credit card debt amount, and the amount which you are entitled to save on your credit card debt after they reviewed your credit card records (“Entitlement Amount”). Then on the letter will be a Toll Free number for you to call to register for the FDAP Program and receive your entitlement to credit card reduction. Once you call the number, you will be greeted by a robotic salesman reading from a script and then later asking you to use your credit card to pay for their debt validation program.

If you or your loved ones have been contacted by Financial Document Assistance Administration or any of its agents, or you believe you have been scammed by this company, here are the steps you need to take to protect yourself:

  1. Cancel the program and Ask for your money back – Although you are dealing with a scam company, Most scam companies would rather give you your money back than face the possibility of having the FBI or attorney general reign down on them sooner than later. Plus, they also know that not everyone is going to ask for their money back at the same time. So call them to cancel the program.

  2. If you are enrolled in any automatic monthly withdrawals, call your bank and cancel any further withdrawals with the company immediately.

  3. Contact the Maryland attorney general Brian Frosh at www.marylandattorneygeneral.gov. You must contact the Maryland attorney general because the company is located in Baltimore, Maryland.

  4. File a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau here: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint/

  5. Contact the FBI Federal Bureau of Investigation. We’ve already contacted the FBI and an investigation may soon be on the way. If you are having a difficult time stopping them from further sending you fake notices in the mail or calling you. Or you are having a difficult time canceling their program and getting your money back, then you must contact the FBI immediately. It is the only chance you have of reversing the potential damage that will be done to your credit and getting your money back.

NO AFFILIATION TO FDAA OR ANY ASSOCIATED COMPANIES

AUTHOR: Eliza Irons - (USA)

POSTED: Wednesday, March 22, 2017

 My name is Eliza Irons. I ceased employment with FDAA as the Director of Client Services on March 15, 2017 after learning their true intent to obtain as much funds from clients as possible while disregarding the needs of said clients as outlined in the signed client agreements they persuade clients to sign and be bound to. As I see this report was made after my departure, I just wanted to clear my name. Thank you.
