Have you been sued by Quality Leasing or QL Titling Trust?
I have recently been made aware, that Quality Leasing and QL Titling Trust have been filing a number of lawsuits in Marion County Indiana. I haven’t gone through all of these lawsuits, but I suspect most of them are attributable to the bankruptcy of Celadon Trucking in Late 2019. Owner operators were really in dire circumstances […]
Have you been sued by Kinetic Advantage?
Kinetic Advantage is a new automotive floorplan lender located in Hamilton County Indiana. The company was formed by former executives at DSC, a company which evolved into Nextgear Capital. I suspect once they build their business, they will end up suing dealers in Indiana. When they do, we’ll be ready to represent the defendants. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/altamont-capital-partners-invests-in-kinetic-advantage-301210030.html
A free alternative to Home Title Lock?
Back in 2018, I made a blog post about Home Title Lock, a company I had heard about on Sirius/XM radio. The gist of my post is that based on my experience, I thought the company was exaggerating the problem of fraudulent deed recordings. Since then, I’ve been contacted by a couple of reporters who […]
“Help, I’ve been sued by AFC, but I have no idea how they are coming up with saying that I owe so much money” – the role of the Forensic Accountant

True or false: My children will be stuck with my timeshare when I die. Mostly false.
There is a new generation of timeshare “relief” companies out there. The names I keep hearing are Wesley Financial Group and Timeshare Exit. This generation of timeshare relief companies don’t seem to be drawing the same level of criticism and scrutiny as what I saw in the 1990s. Maybe that’s because this generation of companies […]

Art Institute of Indianapolis and Elements Financial Federal Credit Union – Possibility of Private Student Loan Assistance
I was vaguely aware of the Art Institutes, that it was a big conglomerate of private for-profit colleges, that it shut down in 2018, and that there was a plan for forgiveness of certain federal student loans due to alleged fraud by the university. Until recently though, I had never been contacted by one of […]
Legal Fees in Perspective $2,750 vs $2.75 million – Bill Cosby
A news story today that Bill Cosby still owes $2.75 million in legal fees. We have no idea how much he paid over time, but there is no question that Bill Cosby was not a poor man going into his criminal case, I would expect that the unpaid balance is less than half of what […]
Nextgear and AFC updates in Covid Time
We continue to handle a lot of floorplan defense lawsuits, defending dealers sued by Nextgear and AFC. They are still filing new cases even though the court systems have been slowed by COVID-19.
