Craig Manseth, Jacob Adamo, Darren Turco, United Debt Holding LLC, JTM Capital Management, LLC, and United Holdings Group, LLC
On January 10, 2022, the Bureau filed a lawsuit against several individual debt collectors and buyers, and their companies. As set forth in the February 23, 2022 amended complaint, the defendants are: Craig Manseth, Jacob Adamo, Darren Turco, United Debt Holding LLC, JTM Capital Management, LLC, and UHG, LLC, UHG I LLC (also known as United Holding Group), and UHG II LLC (collectively holding themselves out as United Holding Group, United Holding Group, LLC, and United Holdings Group, LLC). The Bureau alleges that the defendants, located in Colorado and New York, purchased defaulted consumer debt worth tens of millions of dollars and then collected on those debts using third-party agents who engaged in illegal debt-collection tactics. Specifically, the Bureau alleges that since at least 2014, defendants have used collection agents to collect debts knowing that these agents were using false threats and misrepresentations to coerce immediate payment from consumers, in violation of the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. The Bureau’s complaint seeks redress for consumers, injunctive relief, and a civil money penalty.
