  More info

  Was referred to ************ by ***************************, who mentioned that ************ specialized in helping small businesses achieve large funding capabilities with their guidance. Upon meeting with members of the ************ team in early November of last year, they informed me that they would be able to help my business out once I got enrolled in their program, which required a deposit or enrollment fee of $214.00. After paying that deposit on November 16th, 2022, I was told we did not qualify for the program, and in order to enroll, would have to take a cash advance loan with them that would cover the rest of the "enrollment" and allow them to begin to help me out. I politely declined their predatory attempts to get us to enroll, and have spent the better part of a year trying to get my money returned from ************ (***** and associates specifically). They have made zero attempts to contact me back or resolve the problem, they instead took my $214.00 and provided my business with zero services on their end. I have attached a copy of our bank statement from November of last year, showing the payment made to **************************** on November 16th, 2022. I have also attached a copy of the most recent attempt to contact ***** of ************ in reference to my yet unreturned deposit.

  When I received this communication from the complainant, I was reviewing our Linkedin page with over ****** followers and realized that we have NEVER received a complaint of any kind from any forum and many of our hundreds of field force representatives are former members who felt a need to "join our cause"  and help small business owners build an impressive business credit profile that allows them to have access to to credit and capital that is entirely untethered from use of the owners personal credit report, FICO score or personal guarantee. I researched the matter and found that this is a simple case that ***********;****** does not pay his bills or keep commitments made to ************ or other vendors. Once we received ******************** commitment to enroll into the ************ program we immediately advanced on his behalf  $250 for a SaaS product software seat, $500 in marketing commissions, and $360 to one of our attorneys to launch the process of building his business credit profile. *************** is aware that the process of building a business credit profile impressive enough to stand alone and obtain capital & credit without a personal guarantee takes several months. We offer all of our members in writing an iron clad guarantee that as long as they do their part, which is show up and participate in meetings , 2-3 hours month,  and pay their bills to us and the creditors that we establish tradelines with on the member's behalf, they are guaranteed to receive a minimum of  $50k in credit and capital within the first year.

  *************** did not meet any of his commitments to ************. As stated above, we lost money because we believed *************** and wanted to help him. We were / are within our right to turn his business over for collections. I opted not to exercise this right. Why compound the stress of a failing business. ************ is in business solely to help the entrepreneur. Honestly, we wrote this account off sometime ago. It is telling that the company would go to this  extreme to besmirch a company with a flawless impeccable reputation over a couple hundred dollar matter that happened a year ago.

  If things are that difficult for ***************, should he contact me personally I will personally send him money and a holiday turkey to help him through a rough patch he must be going through. On behalf of ************ we cannot justify further investment in ******************* company.

  Better Business Bureau:
  
  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

   Everything in their response is completely false.  I at no point entered into any commitment or agreement with them on my part, other than give them a deposit to help at which point they said they then couldn't without demanding more money.  It's a complete money grab of a business and the only person that lost ANYTHING was myself and my business.  To say that they should have taken me to collections in any way is egregious and completely misleading, and to say that I don't pay my bills, I should ****************** for defamation.

  They took my money and provided me nothing in return except for demanding more money in order to help. Embarrassing response as well, trying to hide behind your LinkedIn numbers.  I feel bad for the whole company now honestly. Pretentious ******.
