PrePaid Legal Rip-off?
In this case, it sounds more like the individual is corrupt and not the product. I'm sorry if this individual has caused you any problems and hopefully you can get your money asap. However, PrePaid Legal is a good product and a very valuable service to ordinary people. If you would like to reply, ..file your own rebuttal.
Ex-seller of prepaid legal ..Beware of going into business with them!
I also thought it was a reputable company until I went to work for them. After purchasing their product and business package, they hung me out to dry. I spent around a thousand dollars and both my mentors left me hanging with no training and no help. After you join a lot of expenses arise that you are not told about! So Beware of going into business with them!
I am a ticked of independant associate of pre-paid legal!
I am so mad i joined pre-paid legal understanding that it would be a at home job it wasn't until i paid for it that the girl that recruted me told me well you have to go to this training and that5 training and meeting after meeting well before i signed up i told her i was a single mom with no transportation so how did she expect me to get there pull money out of my butt for a babysitter and a car i haven't made any money off this stupid buisness and i'm starting to believe i never will they can all go rot you know where!
2 sides to it
Sounds like you people jumped in the water when you cant swim. It is to bad that the few of you experienced rogh road in the beginning. The truth is, working for yourself has a lot more rough roads- Im sorry LIFE has even more rogh roads ahead. Simple obstacles to overcome like a over due bill. Sorry to hear about you out there in Ohio, but that has nothing to do directly with Prepaid. Did you purchase a membership? All of you that had bad experiences, have you guys told both sides of the story?
Proud To Be A Part Of PRE-PAID LEGAL

reply from ohio
I have tryed to over come those obsticals it's hard when your a single mother you have no car and you weren't informed you had to travel before you got into the buisness. I have done everything imaginable to sell ppls but no body in my area wants it. the training class is an hour and a half away from me and i do not know anyone that will take me nor do i know anyone who will take my kid so don't tell me about ruff roads ahead because i know what that is all about. I have worked 'outside' of my comfort zone and where did it get me broke and still looking for a stinkin job and yes i had actaully perchased the service but because i wasn't getting paid i had to get rid of it so i could feed my kid.
Prepaid legal-you get what you put in
I too tried to make a go of Prepaid Legal. I was told that I could make a decent part-time income with little effort. It is not true. I went to many meetings, special trainging, and spent about $500.00 on promotional items.
It did not work for me. However, I did 'break-even' on my 'investment' due to the 1/2 dozen memberships I sold. I still have the product. It does what it is suppose to do. The 'turn and burn' mentality is very applicable to this company. (as evidenced by the ebb and flow of the stock price).
Even with all that against it, you can 'make it work' but much time and money needs to be spent.

It's what they don't tell you until after you join that makes Pre-paid legal a borderline scam
It's what they don't tell you until after you join that makes Pre-paid legal a borderline scam, the legal services provided afterwards pushes pre-paid legal almost over that border, it's what they tell you before you join (lies , lies and more lies ) which makes it a scam.
I too was amazed at all the extra expenses , even after you sell a policy the company provides next to nothing , all materials & documents comes out of your commission, a commission which is yours after 3 years, you are paid advances $23 to $40 in the beginning of which you may see $5 to $10 ( if you lucky) after buying everything needed from pre-paided to give to the customer.
Pre-paid won't even provide customer a free written policy ( You have to pay for it). From $1,548 you make $40 of which over $20 goes back to pre-paid, not including the money for meetings and books and tapes and pamphlets and cassetes and cards, and...... put it this way they haves tables full of stuff you have to buy,( all of which they make of course). don't dare copy anything , ( a big No-No ) for which you are warned... you'll get kicked out. You HAVE to buy it from them, regardless if printing company would cost one - tenth of what they charge or you could copy almost for free from your own computer.
I began to believe it was from us that pre-paid really made the most of their money. They pocket their entire $1,548. Also don't believe the hype that checks are sent out the next day. Be prepared to call long distance if you need to contact company ( so much for 1 800 toll free number).
They do send out checks the same day, just not to you, but to others who been waiting weeks. Still haven't seen checks from people referred to classes.
They sell you a dream in the beginning and you end up with a nightmare. You would think , join , sell policy , get your money..... think again! ( So don't try to sell the rough road BS to the nice lady who wrote above that she was a single mother without transportation).I couldn't in good conscience sell pre-paid services to my worst enemy..... well maybe to my worst enemy I could.
are we talking about the same company???
Are we talking about the same company???I have been a member of PPL for three (3) years now. I use the fire out of my membership. To date it is the best 27 dollars I spend every month. I just started selling the plan, and have sold 6 so far. I got paid the next day by bank wire for every one of them. The 27 dollar plan pays $125.00 the next day. I sold a small business plan and got $336.00 the next day by wire also. I hope you will give PPL a second chance, because it will do everything it says that it will do. Sorry to hear about your troubles, but you can't get something for nothing...even something this simple requires work...
Thanks,
Prepaid legal: Shady Pyramid Scheme ..The product is worthless it doesn't cover divorce, child custody, dwi, dui, or any drug related cases.
PPL is a ripoff. First you must pay a $36 membership fee. Then you must pay $26 a month to keep the membership. You must also pay a $249 franchise fee, and in the state of Texas you must also pay $150 application fee to test for an insurance license.
The product is worthless it doesn't cover divorce, child custody, dwi, dui, or any drug related cases. They even charge you a small fee to make your will. On most services they only offer a 25% discount on their hourly rate (??), which conveniently is never mentioned. All they talk about is their money, cars, and houses which you never see, and how you must dress the part (clothes).
You are supposed to recruit people to join this ripoff just so you can recieve an advance of $100 to $200 (depending on your level in the pyramid scheme), and if they cancel their membership you get charged back for the advance. Many 'employees' claim the use the membership, but I think they use it to keep it a borderline business opportunity. I think it is a shady business not worth your time and money, unless you got it and you want to waste it.
Pre-Paid Works
Firstly, a company cannot be a scam if the state of Kentucky endorses it and subscribes to the service. Other cities are offering the service to their city employees as a benefit. I do not think that state governments endorse scams. I have been a member as well as an associate and I know that Pre-Paid is an excellent product. I agree there may be some unscrupulous associates out there. There will always be in any business.
As for the people who said they did not make money from Pre-Paid, no one ever guaranteed them that they would make money. Just like every business endeavour, there is always a risk of failure. I have personally made money from this company helping others and if I didn't, It would have been because I did not work hard enough for it.
As for covering dui's, dwi's or drug related cases, I do not think any legal company would cover those cases in the first place.
PrePaid Policy Saves Money
Even though the original complaint was not even against PrePaid Legal Services itself, this forum has turned into a slam fest against this company.
As far as it being a 'scam' - most scams don't stick around 30+ years & get listed on the NYSE (symbol PPD) - if you have been misled it was by a poorly trained Associate, not the company.
Next, if you actually took the time to read your PrePaid policy, you would have learned that divorce, DUI, bankruptcy and other issues are indeed covered! Title I helps answer questions you may have about your rights/what you need to do & Title V gives you a 25% discount on the the attorney fees. In FL for example that can save $50 or more per hour billed - which can save you hundreds, even thousands of $$$ on the average case.
In addition, the policy is NOT intended to get you out of trouble when you break the law. Instead, most of it's features help you avoid the trouble in the first place. This is an outstanding company with a unique product (that works for over 1.4 million people right now!) - if you haven't made any money it's your own fault - it takes time & commitment to succeed in any business.
There are several reasons why this doesn't work for everyone
To the telemarketing complaint.
The bill was incurred by the individual Independent Associate. All expenses incurred by an individual are their responsibities and do not reflect nor incur responsibility of 'Pre Paid Legal Inc'
To Sandra, You signed up with a team who was unwilling to do what needed to be done to help you reach your goals...Only people who help their teams, acheive their goals, succeed in this business..that's just the way it works. Maybe you could find someone farther up in your upline who will help...look for an Ex Director level to help you. Also you didn't have to purchase ALOT of items to do business with a few 10 cent brochures and a few 65 cent audio tapes thet you only 'lend' out for a few days gets you better results any ways.
I have made the business pay for itself and I'm still pulling an easy 500-1200 a month (part time)
'you weren't informed you had to travel before you got into the buisness.' You really don't have to if you're dedicated enough to train yourself at home, get on the training calls, listen to the radio show...If you physically can't get there...maybe you could spend that time trainig yourself at home. The opportunities that were presented to you are REAL...find it in yourself to pull out of your anger and move forward I was a single mom with no car at one time...you NEED this opportunity...Don't tell anyone anymore just show a tape and be quiet the tape will do the work for you.
WE became Members in Nov and started using it..to date I think we've saved over 15k in erronous bills, false credit charges fixed, AOL overcharge, a PayPal duel deduction..and I have no idea how many times we've called to have questions answered. It's without a doubt the best 26 dollars I spend in a month.
We became Associates in Jan...EASY to do this business...you just HAVE to do it...If you sit home and wait for it to come to you...well this is the wrong business for you.
Oh yea by the way a Senator has introduced a bill to have it available as a pre-tax dollar benefit plan for employees, just like health, vision and dental insurance,...expect to see it in large companies who care about their employees
PRE-PAID LAWSUITS
IT IS TRUE THEY ARE ON THE NY STOCK EXCHANGE , IT IS ALSO TRUE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR FALSE ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES AND THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO BUY BACK ALL THE OUTSTANDING STOCK AND RETURN TO BEING A PRIVATE COMPANY BECAUSE OF THE NY STOCK EXCHANGE INVESTIGATIONS AND LAWSUITS FROM INVESTORS.
SUCCESS IS A CHOICE
I am an independent associate with Prepaid Legal Services, Inc. I fell upon this site accidently and was utterly amazed. It is a shame that the individuals who filed rip off reports have had a bad experience. I am not shocked, however, let me tell you why.
Prepaid Legal Services, Inc., is a 31 year old company. Nothing has stirred my soul like Prepaid Legal Services has and what it does for families all across North America. The company is on the New York Stock Exchange and is monitored by the Securities and Exchange Commission. I have been an associate for almost 5 years and it has changed my life. When I go to the National Convention each year in Oklahoma City, some of the speakers that are speaking to an audience of 10,000 associates are, the Attorney General for the State of Oklahoma, the Insurance Commissioner for the State of Oklahoma, and the Mayor, plus many more. If Prepaid Legal was a scam or a pyramid scheme do you think that the Attorney General would endorse the company? Addressing the working at home question. I work from home, and every time I sell a membership, the company replaces the supplies I used. I have left my 27 year career and am now, after almost 5 years, working Prepaid Legal on a full time basis. The company oozes with integrity, is building a 33 Million dollar facility in Ada Oklahoma, pays my car payment and sends me on a trip every year to Cancun. It offers you the ability to build your own dream, so whatever effort you harvest, like anything else, you will reap the rewards. I am living proof, and there are many many associates that have stories of poverty and scarcity until they decided to choose SUCCESS. Success is a choice, and Prepaid Legal just happen
