            Resolved
            I have no idea who this company is and have never done any business with this firm whatsoever. However, they somehow found our checking account number and either mistakenly or fraudulently initiated a series of 8 ACH deductions of $189.00 from our account. They have failed to make any response whatsoever when contacted regarding these deductions and return of these misappropriated funds. Statements made on various sites by a number of other people lead me to believe that this is the manner in which they conduct their business on a regular and ongoing basis. I intend to contact the appropriate regulatory and law enforcement agencies to request an investigation into the dealings of this company.

            I am extremely pleased with the Business Finance Advantage Plan! They helped my business secure an additional $8,000 back from the *** and improved my personal credit in less than nine months. The service costs $489 per month, and its worth every *****. I'm also adding their payroll processing service, which will increase my monthly fee by $200. However, since my current payroll cost is over $600 monthly, this will actually save me money. Highly recommend their services!
