CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K

Debt Resolve, Inc. (the “Company”)

September 27, 2018

Item 8.01 – Other Events.

On September 24, the Company was served with notification of civil litigation having been filed on September 20, 2018 by the New York State Attorney General, Barbara D. Underwood. The Company, previously, 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 and regulations relating to the marketing, sale and financing of debt-relief services.

While the Company is still reviewing the filing, we don’t believe there has been any wrongdoing by Debt Resolve, Inc. nor its majority owned subsidiaries, Student Loan Care LLC and Progress Advocates LLC. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations contained in the Attorney General’s lawsuit. However, we are open to working in good faith with the office of the New York State Attorney General in the hopes of reaching an amicable and expeditious resolution.”

The Company is unable to predict the outcome of any litigation and, if the Company is not successful in its defense, such charges could materially and adversely affect the Company.
