Miracle Management Group/Risk Management Partners fraudulent debt consolidation; withdrew money/didn't pay creditor; ignores calls/faxes; keeps relocating; deceived me Carson City Nevada

In 2003, Laurie XXXX convinced me that using RMP was the way to get out of debt from my having used credit cards to start my small business. (She left the company soon after that.) RMP began by withdrawing money from my bank for their fees, then they withdrew a monthly amount to start the settlement fund.

Early on, they settled one account for $7000, but that was the last settlement they made. They continued to withdraw the monthly amount of $1000 but attempted no more settlements.

After they'd fallen behind in paying the creditors, I began to hear from lawyers and was summoned twice. I contacted RMP about these matters and they sent me some paperwork to record at the courthouse which cost me another $600. Tekkain, Brian and Laurie all reassured me this was typical and the proper procedures to follow. They assured me I had nothing to worry about.

I was scehduled to be finished paying in Oct. 2004, but they extended it another 5 months. I was in contact with Tekkain and he reassured me that this was just what needed to be done. Just before my balance was complete, Tekkain emailed me and told me he was leaving the company since it was relocating to Texas and he didn't want to move.

I have not heard from anyone at the company since that last email. I have tried to fax, phone and email but without success. I went to the bank to stop the automatic withdrawals. As soon as the bank made it official, I've had NO response from them whatsoever. I can't even access my online balance sheet.

My concern now is that RMP has my money ($20,000). My creditors are still unpaid, and I have no idea where to go from here. If anybody has a plan of action or any suggestions, please let me know!
