HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday issued an alert Thursday warning military veterans that a company charging for assistance with federal benefits has filed for bankruptcy.
Trajector Holdings, LLC and Trajector Medical, LLC, based in Florida, filed for Chapter 11 protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida.
Sunday entered a formal appearance in the federal bankruptcy proceedings to monitor the case and protect the rights of state residents.
Federal law establishes strict requirements regarding claims filed with the Department of Veterans Affairs and limits who can charge fees for preparing and submitting benefit applications.
“Veterans have earned the benefits they receive through their service and sacrifices. Any company taking advantage of veterans’ free access to benefits is unacceptable,” Sunday said. “As this bankruptcy moves forward, our office will monitor the proceedings and work to ensure Pennsylvania veterans were treated fairly.”
The bankruptcy court recently extended the deadline for former clients to file a Proof of Claim. Veterans who previously paid Trajector for help obtaining benefits and believe they are owed money can submit claims electronically or by mail through the designated bankruptcy claims agent, Verita Global.
To complete a claim, individuals must identify the specific amount they believe the company owes them. Filings must include supporting documentation such as receipts, contracts, payment records and written correspondence. Officials recommend keeping copies of all documents related to the company’s services.
The advisory comes as state officials urge veterans to watch for unaccredited entities or individuals, often referred to as claim sharks, who charge substantial fees to assist with Department of Veterans Affairs disability claims. Officials warned that these unaccredited entities may use unethical practices to extract payment for benefits veterans are entitled to receive for free.
Pennsylvania residents who have complaints about Trajector or wish to report potential violations can contact the Office of Attorney General’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. Complaints can be filed online or submitted by phone through the Consumer Protection Hotline at 1-800-441-2555.
The attorney general’s office advised veterans with specific legal questions regarding their rights in the bankruptcy to consult a private attorney.
The deadline to submit an electronic or paper Proof of Claim in the bankruptcy case is Nov. 30. Missing the deadline may result in losing the right to share in any distribution from the bankruptcy estate, though filing a claim does not guarantee payment.
