Months ago, I warned readers about Kensington Assistance Agency. Since then, reports have popped up all over the country with similar warnings about this outfit, such as this one from the NBC affiliate in Greenville, South Carolina.
Recently, I have been flooded with calls and emails from folks all over the country. When they call Kensington Assistance Agency, they get a fast busy signal. We do not know if they have packed up their offices and moved into another rat-hole, or if they chose not to pay their phone bill with the hundreds of dollars they have been swindling from folks who can least afford to lose it.
If you have been victimized by Kensington Assistance Agency, here’s what you should do:
Contact your local Attorney General’s Office or Office of Consumer Protection. This is usually a state agency.
Contact your local bar association and get a referral for a local attorney who concentrates in consumer protection and consumer rights. You may have rights under your local state laws.

Does anyone have their phone number on hand,
I cancelled this crap before they could get me and then I call my bank today and theres a -$25.00 fee from them trying to draft my account again.
and I CANCELLED
I let Kensington Assistance Agency draft $299.00 from my bank account in June 2006 and received no information from them. I called and learned that the number had been disconnected. I sent in my information in August 2006. I would like to talk with someone about the information on this company so this does not happen to anyone else and that if I could ever get my money back and what I need to do and who I need to contact in the State of North Carolina. Thank you.
Called 866-889-1903 to ask where the money is that they took out of checking account and they said to call back in a week. They’ve been saying this for over 4 months. The number is connected to Kensington Assistance Agency and now they say they no longer work for that company but still it’s the same person answering the phone and saying the money is not there yet
