CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K

 

Debt Resolve, Inc. (the “Company”)

 

September 14, 2018

 

Item 8.01 – Other Events.

 

The Company received a letter, dated August 16, 2018, from the New York State Attorney General, Bureau of Consumer Frauds & Protection, notifying the Company that the Attorney General intends to commence litigation against it for various allegedly fraudulent, deceptive and unlawful acts and practices of its subsidiaries under New York and U.S. federal law relating to the marketing, sale and financing of debt-relief services. The Company subsequently responded by letter to the Attorney General addressing the various allegations and indicating that the Company believes it has complied with applicable law in all material respects. To date, no litigation has been filed against the Company by the Attorney General. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations contained in the Attorney General’s letter and cooperate with the Attorney General with regard to compliance matters to avoid any litigation. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of any litigation should the Attorney General determine to proceed with the charges alleged in its letter and, if the Company is not successful in its defense, such charges could materially and adversely affect the Company.
