All of the credit I have obtained for my business has been because of my efforts. I advise you to stay away from them. It’s a scam.
they are such a scam, you can never contact them, you are basically left on your own to build your credit I haven't made it past tier one... it has been well over a year ... its one excuse after another... please stay away from this company!
I was promised that I would be able to get 50k in credit in 3 months. So I have been with them since 3/17 and not even a net 30 account. I have built my business credit myself and have over 18 trade lines on it due to ME. NOT TRue build Credit. I have been trying to call them and left many voicemail's with no response at all. I did everything they have asked of me and paid for everything they asked me to.I just want a refund, this is a big scam, once they get your money in full, good luck! The chase is on! Stay away its all lies and BS.
This company is a big scam and a waste of money. After they get there money from you no more contact from them. I have been sending E-mails to member support for 2 weeks with no response back. I have E-mailed her manager and the same thing no response from her to. I have E-mail customer support same thing no repose from them. I have called left message no call back. No one every answers the phone. I have call every 30 min for a whole day.
The vendor accounts they want you to use in round one are outdated. Most do not even report anymore. I have more updated info on free business credit boards.
I highly recommend TrueBuild to any nonprofit organization that is trying to build their organizations credit. Because of the unpredictability of cash flow when dealing with nonprofits creditors are slow at building credit versus when dealing with regular business entities. TrueBuild cuts through the red tape and delivers proven results, building the credit lines your nonprofit organization needs.
Review: This company guarantees to get you access to business lines of credit and funds if you follow their steps. However, they were deceptive. I continuously received different instructions from different representatives (even though I was to only work with one person). Their turn over rate for their employees was obviously high because every time I messaged the rep working on my case, it went unanswered until I was assigned someone new. Their instruction materials were not accurate, nor their instructions and after doing what I was instructed to do for months, and not having gotten anywhere, I asked for a refund...which they guaranteed on their website. They would not process a refund, instead kept trying to offer me thing I was not interested in. Then they gave me the run around always saying that the owner was not available every time I called or emailed. Then they tried to prolong their time to respond to me, but after seeing that I was serious and would not give up they told me that even though their reps had messed up and caused me to not get what they promised me, they would not refund. They told me to stop making purchases because they messed up my account then refused to refund because I stopped making purchases, when I showed them proof of all of their different reps instructions, which I followed (that weren't even the same by the next week), then all they could do was apologize for their reps giving me the wrong information and letting me know that those reps had been fired. But they were still stating, that I didn't follow instructions so they weren't responsible (again, even though I followed the reps instructions, because they weren't the right instructions, I was being held accountable)This company operates like a scam and they do not keep their word. After they take your money, you're pretty much on your own to build your business credit. I spent over hundreds of dollars following their instructions to build my business credit and none of it even counted.Desired Settlement: I would like a full refund. I requested a refund for months and always received a new "option" instead until they finally flat out refused to give me one. Their guarantee is a lie. It's only on the website to make customers give trust that they shouldn't give to this company. I'm not even seeking reimbursement for the hundreds of dollars they told me to spend (which wasn't even counted because of their reps inaccurate instructions). I only request a full refund for their service!

Response:
[redacted],
I am very sorry to hear about
your experience with our company. We here at True Build Credit strive to
provide legendary service for all of our clients and we want to see your
company grow and succeed. You have my sincere apology that we failed you
in some way.
I did take a look at the file
and I do see there were a few technicians working on the file, we all work as a
team here and all partake in building client files so our clients succeed. The
accounts that were sent over to you did report to your credit file, and you do
have trades on your reports. When you spoke to your technician on 6/3/15
you told her you were excited about moving forward and the two of you pulled up
your files to move you to the next part of the program. When your files
were pulled up, your technician found late payments on your credit files.
Our program works for so many business’s out there, however in order for our
program to work bills must be paid. After that initial dispute was done, your
technician continued to follow up with you every couple of weeks leaving
voicemails for you along with emails trying to reach you to let you know that
more disputes were being done by us. After 4 months of no contact the file was
archived and contact from us did stop.
I am sorry that you feel that
our instructions were not precise because we most definitely do not want you to
feel that way! We are here for you! We always say that phone communication may
be a better way to communicate if things are confusing, because a lot of things
can be taken the wrong way via writing. We take your concerns very
seriously here at True Build Credit and appreciate your feedback as it allows
us to constantly make improvements within our system to help better our
clients. Thank You,
I have owned many businesses over the span of the last 20 years including a very successful real estate corporation. I always used my own personal credit. Regardless if it was to purchase investment real estate, vehicles for business, office equipment, gasoline, etc. I knew of business credit, but did not know how it worked or how to obtain it. There was no one to ask or guide me.
Thanks to TrueBuild, that has all changed. TrueBuild has educated me about business credit and all of the benefits of using it to build businesses. [redacted], my business credit coach, has been phenomenal. She has personally guided our company through the business credit maze with skill and professionalism. As a United States military veteran, I appreciate processes and systems in place. TrueBuild has that. Thank you, TrueBuild!
[redacted] has been absolutely awesome. I didn't understand anything about business credit. What I really like about [redacted] is that she listens to any and all of my questions and concerns, and while being very patient with me, always responds with very informative precise and detailed recommendations and or solutions. Communicating with [redacted] is makes you feel as if she has been a long time friend of yours that you confide in and most importantly you can trust to talk to about anything. [redacted] definitely has "It" as the saying goes and is one who without question has superb people skills. I am enjoying working with her and look forward each and every time have our scheduled updates for her advice and guidance to help me attain my goals in business. I trust her knowledge and expertise. Thank you.
Review: Originally I was told by salesperson Justine I would receive funding for my corporations in 6 months. Additionally I received 2 of the same emails from other salespeople telling me that I could get funding in 4 months. I replied that if this is true then why haven't I received funding when I have been a member for 9 months and haven't gotten a dime. Of course no reply. If you can't get me funding in the timeframe you claim-which is painfully obvious- don't tell me you can on a hunch. I have been lied to by several businesses. I guess this is standard practices by American corporations. Make the sale no matter what you have to do. I just wantto be told the truth so I know what to expect.Desired Settlement: Complete the process ASAP.

Response:
Hello
[redacted],
My name is
[redacted] and I am the owner. I just responded to you myself 3 times and upon a
search in the extremely short time you have been a client there are 117 emails,
I do not have the information in front of me in regards to the numbers of VM's
and conversations with our support staff and your technician, but I can make an
educated assumption that it is rather exorbitant.
Let's try
to help you better understand and straighten out your issues. Firstly I am told
that you may have come to us with the premise of getting money as an investment
and were not an active business and did not plan on being one. Maybe I am
incorrect about this, but with that said, we are a reality based program and
the #1 resource in the country for real businesses and those that want to start
a fresh new business with massive benefits for those with good personal credit
and equally important and beneficial results to those with none or poor
personal credit.
It seems
you may be under the assumption that building business credit is a sort of get
rich quick way to get a hold of money, I assure you that we have done this more
than all sources online combined for 15 years with 15k clients and VERY few
complaints and it is not that at all. Building business credit is one of if not
THE most crucial aspect of starting or growing a business.
Now to
your situation, firstly you may be completely confused as to what
"business credit" means. [redacted] M. whom was your representative was
very clear based upon your call when you signed up, but there still seems to be
some misunderstanding. Business credit
is any and all credit extensions to a business from another business. B2B credit is actually larger than personal
credit and it takes on MANY forms. In
your particular situation the first two months were spent just getting a
corporation set up and an address, etc. That is an absolute requirement. No
one, even the most basic vendors that report to the bureaus will extend credit
to a "business" that is not a "business." So there were more
calls and emails than I can count here that seem to be related to that basic
fact to even get started. And then more
work and fielding of information to that end for something that, to be honest,
is not that complicated.
SO to that
end there are three primary business credit bureaus, luckily for all of us that
most all the content in relation to DNB, Experian Business, and Equifax
Business on the internet has come from us internally over the past decade. BUT
Experian specifically if you want to do it right takes a little longer,
they have no "pay to play" like DNB and are actually about 15 times
more important than DNB so it looks as though there is work that has been and
is being done to that end. You have the prerequisite PayDex score from DNB etc
and are along your way and into what seems to be the second of seven tiers that
you will be working through.
You have
to really understand something, from the immigrant worker with no social to the
struggling corporation that has 150 employees and wants to get his PG off of
everything to run a tighter operation with capital, we have successfully helped
them all. This is not, never will be a get quick money or rich solution. It IS
however the fastest most thorough way for a business to get access to money which
would take about 5-7 years but condenses that down to a timeline that many of
us can be realistic and work with.
We look
forward to continuing down your road to success and hopefully we can together
get our feet more firmly planted on the ground, if we cannot build business
credit the fastest way possible than there is simply no one that can and to
that end you have to calm down a bit and let the process work. Most of all, weekly or contact every few days
about progress is great, but "when do I get my money" is wasting our
time and yours at this point. Do the next step and your business will succeed. I do hope that you plan to use the money and
credit for your new business and are successful! There has already
been a LOT of time and money with your service agreement wasted, let's work
together to be more efficient so as to not waste any more. I run a small business myself and it's a
beautiful Saturday afternoon, but my clients’ happiness comes first! Let's get
real about this together [redacted] and just do what the program is all about and
tone down the exorbitant time and money spent repeating these core concepts
about what business credit is and your success with TrueBuild.

Response:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me. I will wait for the business to perform this action and, if it does, will consider this complaint resolved.
Regards,
Hi have they kept there end of the bargain. I just signed up with them and now I see all these bad reviews. I'm wondering should I ask for a refund now or wait. To 3many inconsistencies for me on the methods. I am doing my own research as they are teaching me what I should do and the findings are very different. A few are the same and a few are different. But the different ones are the same for every other building methods which has me worried. Am I getting bad information or just is it a scam.
I have been working with True Build for over a year and they have been a great resource to build business credit. With their guidance and support, I was able to get approved for a NO PG Mastercard with a $22,500 limit. Thank you True Build!
We are flippers and have our own LLC company. We signed up with TruBuild to help us get Dunn & Bradstreet set up and establish credit under our business name. We did not have a lot of money and they worked with us and set up a Vistaprint Web. We used credit accounts TruBuild helped us set up. We bought a house, fixed it and sold the house. While doing this I was also dealing with a partner that did not believe this would work. I used little bits of money out of our fixed income. Over the 1+ year's we slowly but surely set up the 10-12 different accounts and bought items here and there. We got a Dunn and Bradstreet rating of 87 and had D&B reports that covered over a year in business. Then we were finally able to apply for a Master Card!. We were approved for over $20,000.00 with NO PG (personal guarantee). YES YEAH YEAH.
P.S. My husband had NO CREDIT Established when we started this!!
Now he has a 680 credit rating and it is getting better
DON'T GIVE UP & PLUG AWAY at getting those charge accounts!!
[redacted] of TruBuild Corporate has been an outstanding person to work with. She is very competent, knowledgeable, and customer friendly. She brings a professional demeanor and personality that makes her clients feel at ease.

Other than the "XX--> 1 - 10", the above is copy and pasted from the Truebuild website.
These are the the fewest problems I got with the site. The customer service is horrific.
XX-->1.) Free Monthly DNB Reports
TrueBuild was supposed to furnish ME with the reports. I received zero reports of any kind. I was asked to give my log-in information to D&B. Strategic Stairs Corp. has been in business since 2007. I have built my own credit since then. I am not going to trust my business access information to anyone.
XX-->2.) Free Monthly Experian Business Reports (YOU MUST get right with Experian!)
TrueBuild was supposed to furnish ME with the reports. I received zero reports of any kind. I was asked to give my log-in information to D&B. Strategic Stairs Corp. has been in business since 2007. I have built my own credit since then. I am not going to trust my business access information to anyone.
XX-->3.) The complete TrueBuild Program with all Seven critical steps
Please note what this says from their website "The complete TrueBuild Program with all Seven critical steps". They have allowed me to step three and the rest of the entire course is locked and I can not access steps 4 - 7 and the other information for loans and credit at other places.
XX-->4.) $50,000 Guarantee Regardless of Personal Credit
I got far less than this guarantee claims. I have lost a considerable amount of money on this project.
XX-->5.) Exclusive Vendor Network only found and work with CCN!
I believe this to be a false advertising. I have purchased other products such as this only to be deceived. Other business credit building companies claim " Exclusive Vendor Network only found and work with...".
XX-->6.) Access to a team of industry leaders, accountants, and real experts with years of experience and know what works NOW. All included!
If you call two people a team then I guess this company is correct in advertising but I did not have any conversations with accountants or industry leaders. There are several other companies that build business credit.
XX-->7.) MONTHLY reports from D&B, Do NOT pay DNB anything, not to save money, but to build real credit. Let's do it the RIGHT way.
This is absolutely false. I received no reports of any kind in the months I've been trying to work this project. As a matter of fact, the company asked ME to send THEM a copy of my D&B report. The two "credit experts" I dealt with were far from professional.
Additionally, you don't have to buy anything from D&B. The vendors you purchase things from automatically send reports to D&B and other business credit reporting companies. TrueBuild tried to make me believe they were going to provide some special report only they knew how to make.
XX-->8.) FULL compliance reports and research to be sure you haven't missed anything that can hinder our success
I was provided nothing. I received zero reports of any kind. As previously mentioned, the company asked ME to send THEM a copy of my D&B report.
XX-->9.) Industry Leading CRM insures you won't fall through the cracks, We will make you succeed even if you don't want to!
I asked numerous times to have the rest of the program opened to me. Each time I was declined. For all I know, there isn't even anything to the rest of the course. I purchased the course with the information of "XX-->3.) The complete TrueBuild Program with all Seven critical steps".
XX-->10.) Access to ALL the available lenders and SBA microloans!
The sentence number 10 is completely false. I am locked at level three and can not utilize anything thus far. As mentioned, Strategic Stairs Corporation was founded in 2007. I've already done the steps they have me locked at about 6 years ago.
In closing, I asked for a refund. TrueBuild declined my request citing numerous steps and compliance issues I supposedly have.
I also asked to communicate only via email. I explained that I am a disabled Veteran and have memory problems. At that point, "Stephanie" transferred my file to "[redacted]". [redacted] tried contacting me with my personal email address, which I feel is extremely unprofessional. I promptly wrote back and requested that our business remain exclusively via business email.
At this point, I just want a full refund and be completely done with this company.
Please rid me of this headache by enforcing my request for refund. If this route is unsuccessful, I will be forced to pursue other negative action against TrueBuild.
P.S. I've also submitted the the last correspondence of one particular email to/from TrueBuild as follows:
"[redacted], I apologize but we need to speak with you over the phone in response to this request. It is difficult to render our service without being able to talk to you. You signed up for our services online. As adamant as you are about the information on our website, you would have seen that the steps and layers are locked and it indicates you need to consult with your credit technician to proceed. So you signed up for a service that provides a mentor. This is not an eBook program and self service program. So I apologize if you thought our program came as a packet of information because it doesn’t. We have been in operation for over a decade and have put over 20,000 businesses successfully through it. We are the leader in the industry and stand by our expertise.
Because you insist on emailing only, I believe there may be some obvious difficulty in feeling satisfied with any service by conducting it solely by email. We need to dialogue with you, not email you. So can we please speak by phone? You are not eligible for any refund as this is a 6 month commitment and you must be in Compliance which does include supplying us the credentials to access and monitor your credit reporting. You have refused to do so, which means you are not eligible for a refund.
I apologize for any inconvenience but please let me know when it’s a good time to call you, okay? I look forward to assisting you properly by dialoguing with you. I appreciate your time and look forward to your response.

Response:
Hello [redacted],
We are extremely sad that you feel that your services are anything less than world class and we strive to do our absolute best in each and every situation. Sadly you cut and pasted a list of services and description for a program that is clearly detailed on our site as being described as the ELITE program. This program entails a lot of hard costs on our end that go over way and above the 50% off retail pricing that you paid for the STANDARD program. The price for the program benefits you cut and pasted here is about 4 times what you paid and as we have tried to explain that if we were to offer them at our cost of $800 and charge you $400 then we would not be in business very long to help others. So as mentioned our normal program price is $795 and does not include any of the services that you have mentioned, yet does have the extreme benefits so many of us Entrepreneurs need to build our companies credit properly with the award winning program TrueBuild. Hopefully you can understand that. You received an extreme discount of 50% off the Standard program now and we would love to continue to offer the FULL services you paid for at the 50% off you received, but it can make it difficult when the understanding that our services have two levels and are very clearly stated cannot be offered at a loss. Now that I am aware of your unhappiness perhaps we can work together to offer some of the benefits of the ELITE program if they do not fit in your companies budget, and my personal attention to help in anyway possible to help your companies credit be a success.

Response:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
[I am also deeply saddened your company is false advertising. You go to this website, [redacted] and tell me where it says what I purchased was not the whole program. Additionally, if you go to this page and use the search key F3 and search for Elite or elite there are zero occurrences.
TrueBuild is the real deal! We've utilized another company previously that didn't fulfill their promise.
[redacted] has been on point since day one with a step by step approach to ensure the success adding the business accounts.
We started out with your typical net 30 accounts, but now we have major retail and Mastercard accounts. You have to start somewhere, but it's worth it's weight in gold if you follow the process!
Thanks [redacted] and TrueBuild!
Review: When I signed up with service, I was grossly lied to about the services offered. When I called the company back, after paying, I was told my salesperson no longer worked there. The person I was then in contact with, told me completely different information than I was told when I signed up for the product. When I questioned them, they said in basic terms, too bad. I asked for a refund and was told no. When I pressed for a refund, the emails and phone calls (after I cancelled my credit card so they couldn't take any more money which was the first time I had heard back from them) became very harassing and demeaning.Desired Settlement: I would like to have a full refund ASAP.

Response:
It looks like there was some confusion on this client and they were never even able to get started in our program. I spoke with Amanda personally to alleviate any concerns, and her and I understand that there may have been some simple confusion that led to her dis-satisfaction. TrueBuild strives to make sure that each and every client achieves their goals, and to that end we wish the absolute best to Amanda and her success.
Thank You,
The best people ever created
The real deal. I've been a part of many credit building programs for years and True Build Credit is the only service that has produced results quickly. I was a bit skeptical at first, but [redacted] and [redacted] really knew what they were doing and how to rebuild my business credit and improve my FICO score. This business claims to be the innovators of building business credit and so far, they've proven it, so I thought I'd leave them a well-earned review. Thanks for the persistent work to build my business credit and revitalize my passion.
Review: After 6 months of subscribing with this company I have receiv** nothing.
I've had 3 different "technicians" assign** to me during this period of which 2 left the company without there being any advice given to me that they had gone.
This result** me receiving no service and no replies to emails for weeks at a time.
Eventually I got a response when I contact** their support people and a third "technician" was assigned.
It turn** out that he was new with the company and he didn't seem to know much about what the company was offering.
The company's claims on it's website are very sales orientat** giving the impression they could achieve the desir** outcome in quick time. In my case they achiev** nothing over a 6 month period.
To this day I'm sure there would not have been any follow-up or action after the first two employees left. This unacceptable that a client should be ignor** after paying for a service.
In my case they have demonstrat** little regard to what my needs were after getting the subscription paid.
As mention** I receiv** nothing.
I've ask** for a refund on three occasions via email but have receiv** no response to my request.

Response:
Hello [redacted] as you are aware this had been dealt with and despite the inaccuracies posted here and elsewhere your refund had already been approved as you had understood that the only reason for your company's failure to proceed with the program was your unwillingness to adhere to US laws regarding creating a business, specifically getting an EIN number. As stated in so many places you cannot build business credit without it so to post a complaint considering you are aware of these facts is very disappointing. Below is our previous conversation you are aware of and again your refund is in queue to be done but at this point we will now need to get this resolved amicably also.
Here is the response you are aware of in addition to the 27 emails and calls asking that you get the required EIN number taken care of. Again we are offering a courtesy refund per this last e-mail you received the previous business day, that is going way over and above the norm but it can take a few days.
This was sent on Friday. We like most companies in the US do not work on Sat and Sun, it is now Monday. You request** that we send a PayPal as you seemed in an extreme hurry to get a refund immediately instead of a check which was also replied to and we were going to also bend over backwards to accommodate.
"Hi [redacted],
Not sure if [redacted] or [redacted] contacted you today but it seems in
the best interest of my company and you to get your money back and part ways.
Please try to keep in mind that our time is money as is yours and we have to
take the loss at this point and not exactly sure between all the calls to get
an EIN which still boggles me how much we have spent on our end to try and
help. So with that said the bottom line is Corporate Network will give you the
benefit of the doubt and just give you a refund because you at least admitted
some of this was your fault. Like you, we
don’t want to be taken advantage of. But, as a business, we will err on the
side of our customer.
As the transaction was I think over 6 months ago a return to
your CC may not be possible as that is how Visa/MC work. Let me see about
getting you a credit somehow and hopefully not have to send a check of $700
which is what I think we should both feel comfortable with. With that I can
only imagine how many hundreds we are losing but in the end that is the cost of
doing business if a client is not happy sometimes and like ** pointed out,
mentioned that you had admitted it was a two sided failure. Sad for both of us
as I have never let a client NOT get their services that they fully paid for
once it got to me. Best of luck sir and please contact [redacted] or [redacted] to get
this resolved with the credit. Thanks"
This was the previous answer to the complaint you were aware of and accept** responsibility for being the only company in our programs history to ever not get an EIN that takes less than 30 seconds to do and is absolutely requir** to open any credit accounts.
"Your complaint consisted of a demand for a refund and complaints
about “wasted time”. Certainly some time has been wasted, however that is a
result of the failure to comply on your end. You see sir we have absolute
requirements since we are a reality based program. As an example only a fool
would think they could build personal credit if they were unable or unwilling
to use a social security number. Since 9/11 here in the United States all
corporations must have a proper EIN number. I see tons of very competent advice
getting nowhere to deal with this simple 5 minute item. If you are not a US citizen
then you must get an ITIN number to obtain an EIN number for a corporation. It
is baffling that you are screaming scam when this is a requirement, your
initial sign up clearly states that and our terms are set in stone. It is not
possible as has been stated so many times in the notes that it seems simply
ridiculous to be honest sir.
We build credit for corporations, and we are the largest in the
country at doing so. Since you have been a member, literally thousands of US
corporations have obtained tens of thousands in credit. In order to be a
legitimate business, open a bank account, or open the most insanely small
starter credit accounts with simple vendors to get started you will ne*ed to get
an EIN. This was reiterated so many times, as I have read, that it is baffling.
How can you call something a scam when you are the only one that I know of in
12 years that won’t do the most basic thing and that is to obtain an EIN number
and the very number that the credit will be built under? That is like screaming
scam because a US mortgage company won’t approve a loan without a social
security number. It’s not up for debate. It cannot be done period. From what I
can see, so much time has been spent trying to help this basic premise get done
and find ways to “get around” starting a legitimate business that it behooves
us as the company you paid. You got our program for about half price, it has
wasted more time and resources than you paid for. We are the best at what we
do, there is no question. We have had a few complaints and when we are wrong
there is literally nothing more important to me as an owner than to get the
bottom of it and fix whatever that is. But in this case, just flying off the
handle about our program being an e-book is simply incorrect. You can’t call
and e-mail an e-book over 20 times and get prompt and professionally courteous
responses every time. You’re basing your opinion on a program with which you
have not complied with the requirements so I am at a total loss? Have your
support people not had this conversation 15+ times and the representative that
signed you up had clear notes that as an international client you were clear
that there is no way to “get around” being a legitimate US company to expect
legitimate US business credit?
I am sorry you are upset, as
a business owner so am I. I can only imagine how much it has cost me to pay
hourly and highly trained employees to have support conversations about
something that should have been done in the first 5 minutes. There is simply no
way to “scam” the system and not get an EIN as you are requesting. That is all
I see here so far. Please let me know if I am missing something and if you have
the required EIN and are in ne** of assistance. I assure you that our
technicians are the best there are, many of them I have train** myself. Please
let me know ASAP why we cannot get this done.
I can formally reply to your complaint but I felt it important
to reply ASAP as I have never in 12 years seen something so simple be a
problem. It is not an option to build business credit without a business and it
is not a real business without an EIN and corporation in place. It is a simple
black and white issue. Let’s get it resolv** together ASAP!
On a quick search of the account this company has literally
spent 6 months to get incorporated and still has not set up a simple website
and phone number. I am completely confused as these are all insanely simple
things that are supposed to be done in the first 72 hours. All I see is tons of
e-mails complaining and nothing real done. I don’t understand, did you want one
of our employees to put your company in their name to obtain an EIN? All of
these required items have never been a problem for tens of thousands of
companies no matter how small or how limited their start up budget.
If you hired one of the best attorneys to work for you and
didn’t give him what he needs to fight your case like something as simple as a
case number, then sent him 30+ emails, 15 calls saying he was scamming you, yet
didn’t give him the required and simple information to do anything about it,
how does that make any sense? I’m at a loss. We have to use some common sense
here sir. I see nothing but e-mails screaming and nice professional
replies asking you to do something no one has ever had an issue doing. I
can tell you that we take each and every one of our client’s success very
seriously and now that you’re under my watch and have my attention I can assure
you that there will be no more time wasting on your part or ours to that end"

Response:
I have review** the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. However in accepting the resolution I am NOt accepting the assertions made by the company about me, as some of them are incorrect.
I have received a partial refund from the company are consider the matter now settled.
