Claim Shark companies have made statements that they aren’t breaking the law because they don’t charge fees for “preparing” veterans' claims. Claim Sharks state that they “assist” or “consult” for veterans' claims, and this how they rationalize why they should be allowed to charge thousands of dollars for their services.
This is still illegal. Using creative semantics to skirt the law is not innovative, and it is not honest or transparent.
There are no “good actors” or “bad actors”. Every company that charges for initial claims assistance is doing it illegally.
Claim Sharks say veterans should have the “choice” to be fleeced out of thousands of dollars. No matter how much money these companies spend on Capitol Hill, the VFW will not allow them to dismantle consumer protections and normalize harming veterans.
Take Action
Now is the time to remind Congress that we will not accept normalizing harming veterans! Claim Sharks must be stopped!
