Consumers who fell victim to the scheme were tricked into paying debts that they either didn’t owe or that the defendants weren’t authorized to collect.
The defendants did business under a number of names, including Stark Law, Stark Recovery, and Capital Harris Miller & Associates. The people behind the scheme allegedly harassed consumers with phone calls and demanded immediate payment for supposedly delinquent loans.
