Populus Financial Group d/b/a ACE Cash Express (“ACE Cash Express”) conducts business in Irving, Texas. Doyle Dennis Avery LLP’s client worked for ACE Cash Express throughout 2022. The client witnessed and reported several occasions of ACE Cash Express and its employees allegedly violating several consumer financial laws. Luckily, the client decided to do the right thing, not follow the pack, and instead report the alleged unethical and unlawful practices. For example, when ACE Cash Express’s employees allegedly spoke on the phone while assisting customers, this jeopardized and endangered the private and confidential information of the people they were assisting. Another example is in which the employees of ACE Cash Express allegedly failed to provide customers with the necessary information to become fully approved for a card or account, and some employees allegedly would also lie and force customers into spending Net Spend Card. Doyle Dennis Avery’s client witnessed these instances and chose to do the right thing and blow the whistle.  

The lawsuit alleges that in response to Doyle Dennis Avery LLP’s client’s report, ACE Cash Express wrongfully terminated the firm’s client, causing her financial hardship and permanent and irreversible damage to her professional reputation after a long and distinguished career. Employees witnessing and reporting improper or unlawful conduct in the workplace may be entitled to protection under the law. If a company responds to your report by terminating you, call Doyle Dennis Avery LLP to see if you have a claim.
