Duane Romanello, who is now listed as the agent for H&P, is also (according to the state of Florida) the registered agent for a ton of other companies, including several other debt collectors and finance companies. He IS an attorney in Florida...but he is not listed as an officer, just the agent for process. This is normal for a corporate filing, actually.
As you see above, there was a dissolution that was pending in September, but it was dismissed. The original agent's name was Gary Henrion who is NOT an attorney in Florida but is now listed as the Vice President of the Company. Neither he, nor Noel Pooler nor Tammy (Mackey) Williams are attorneys in Florida. Again, all of this is easily verified through the State of Florida's website and the State Bar.
These people also were connected with Legal Mediation Practice, which was a debt consolidation firm that is no longer is business. The addresses were the same a year ago.
H & P, obviously, stands for Henrion and Pooler... and by the dates, you can see that H & P came about not longer after the other company closed around October 2008. It appears the they went from debt consolidation to focusing on collection of payday loans.
Gary Henrion is a Business Broker or Real Estate developer of some kind.
Tammy Mackey/Tammy Williams is listed as the Treasurer for both H & P as well as Legal Mediation.
Duane Romanello was the registered agent for Legal Mediation, but not for H&P initially. Mr. Romanello specializes in bankruptcy, real estate and collections.
