They are by far the worst company I have ever dealt with. My car is constantly getting tickets, they never make payments, they owe me thousands of dollars, the dmv renewal is now overdue, and I can't find them anywhere! They never answer their phones or return my emails, faxes or letters. I've recently filed a complaint with the DMV and looking for others to file a law suit or join on one against them! Please contact me!

This is Celebrity Auto Brokers and my name is Debra Monfore. This is the second time I have tried to post a response to theses postings. I am not an owner of Auto Lease Trackers, Premier Auto Brokers or any other company. If anyone bothered to look these business licenses up that would be easy to prove.

I'm writing this rebuttal in response to my clients, several who have asked me not to let this report go unaddressed. We are a vehicle management company, what that service means is simple, someone what's out of their car payments and we help with that by having someone take over the payments. The service over sees the contracts with the two party's PERIOD. I'm not going to allow one person to continue to call me or others an AUTO THIEF, nor has Celebrity Auto Broker ever embezzled any payments due a lender, all the payment go direct to owners or the lenders as per the owners instructions.

The person known on this report as Sara is not an owner of a vehicle; she is in fact Elisha. She was at one time a person who worked with us and also some one I had thought of as a friend. She was introduced to me by a business friend as an Information service. We used her service for back ground searches on repos or to verify info on the clients taking cars. We started using her service over a year ago. The name she always used to our clients was "SARA".

Up to the first week in Feb. of the year this woman worked with me and a few other companies I had referred her to, much to my regret now. However she had started to run adds to repo cars other then the few I had asked her to help with. Yes we have had to repo cars for our owners, so does BMW, Mercedes and all the company's dealing in cars, payments and people. One of the persons she conned into believing she was a licensed Detective was a client of a different company, she asked for my help and when I was not able to contact the owner of that company she stated she was going to ruin me if I cost her the $2,000 she was going to get. The next day this posting appeared on this site. Ms W also stole my identity and personal information and posted a page on My Space. I have contacted these sites and I'm getting an order to cease and desist on these postings.

In the last four months Ms W has slandered me, lied about the company, hacked into my confidential data base, made dozens of call at all hours of the day or night threatened my life, harassing my office and my landlord by hacking into his data illegally. She has also posted I'm part of a car theft ring and gave false information to the police about a vehicle, stating I took it and sold it in Mexico. Those statements on her part were proven false.

As a result of her actions against me, the company and our clients I have had to put a Restraining Order against Ms W. This action was done May, 20, 2008 with the San Pedro Court Division, Case Number NS017790 and is still in effect. I have also learned that she has done the same action with other people as early as Jan. of this year; it's on record in both Orange County and Los Angeles County.

I have proceeded with legal action against all of these slanderous statements made against myself and this company by Ms W. Ask yourself why after eight years in this business I have had only one posting related to myself and this type business before the Feb,10, 2008 posting. There are no Hundreds of Victims involved with myself or Celebrity Auto Brokers. What there is that I see is a web site that doesn't check their facts but allows unsubstantiated comments to be posted against anyone. There has to be some way to protect oneself against this kind of irresponsible attacks on a person or a company. I find it disturbing and sad that people will assume that these postings are the truth and not attempt to verify its validity.

I'm in business, I deal with the public, and those two facts always create customer service issues. Every business has them, there is no way out of it. Most of our clients come to us wanting to get out of a problem, in many cases it's one that they created. That being said most of our clients are great, they think our service is great and the program works for them, but some are not and some problems can never be satisfied with clients even if the issue has been handled.

These postings are false and are on this site because of one person. There is no Sara in Newport or Joe with a 2001 G500. This is only a very vicious woman that thinks she can make these accusations without cause and as she told me on one of her harassing calls I'm doing all of it just to F----- with you and because I'm can ruin anyone I want to just watch me, I haven't even stated. When I asked her why she was doing this she said because I know how, I've done this to a lot of people

I'm not an auto thief or a scam artist, I have never advertised our service as a rental agent. Nor have I or the company knowingly or willfully embezzled property under California LAW 571(504PC). I can not speak on the other companies that are in the vehicle management business, only about Celebrity and our view to this business has never been to hurt any client or to defraud anyone or any lender.

I do want to tell my real clients that I'm sorry that my association with Ms W may have caused them any concerns. Also that I'm going to seek legal action against the websites to have this postings removed as slander. I also demand that this posting be removed at once or I'll seek a order to remove this with the courts.

Debra Monfore

I am a victim of her scam, but it was in Torrance. I took Debra too small claims court and won against her and the company she was hiding under (Ascott Autos). I have the judgement, but no money. She never showed up for the rest of the court dates. The city of Torrance had a case against them, but never heard anything. I figured the police department gave up. I last saw that Debra was up for conviction with several others around the US for a credit card fraud scam. I hope she goes to PRISON. I can't understand how her family can have a mother like that. I have seen several copies of her credit report, and wow it looks bad. My judgement is listed on the report, but it doesn't mean a thing. I would love to go to the trial about the credit card fraud just to see her get convicted.

I would be interested in helping get her.

This is the last time I'm going to deal with this site personally. I have had all the Lies and crap I'm going to put up with. Now I'm going to go legal.

In response to "MATTHEW" jumping on the band wagon. It is this. How dare you post that you have my CREDIT REPORT, you have no legal right to have that in your position, and how dare you state that I have a Federal case for credit card fraud going on now. If your referring to a 15 year old article that was in the New York Times about a " arrest ", I was NOT charged with any crimes by the Goverment in fact I worked for a Bank that was also not charged with any wrong doing either, customers of the BANK I worked for were the only people involved in any wrong doing.

Up until two months ago I didn't even know that there was an article where my name appeared. I have since contacted the New York Times and the reporter that wrote the article demanding a retraction or some type of written statement from them, stating that I was never charged with any crimes and that I had NEVER, EVER been involved with "credit card fraud" at anytime. I was in the banking business for 6 years after 1995 when this article appeared with a wonderful reputation and never had ONE issue or ONE hint of wrong doing. So I can only say Matthew you have not checked any facts, not to mention DATES. If that had been done before your made your posting about how I SCAMMED YOU you would have seen the date was 1995 and NOT one other article followed that.

As for the small claims case, Ascott Auto was a corporation that I WORKED for. You know that as well as I do, somehow the whole thing was put on me not the Corporation. Why not post the trust, why not post what really happen with your vehicle. How about finally admitting the V.P. and office manager Ms Alva was the real person you had a problem with and how about stating that you got your vehicle back and that you sued that corporation twice, the first time for what the real problem was (which was under $1,000) and then when you found out you chould file for the $5,000 limit, you want in and changes the amount to the highest limit because of greed. I'll tell you why because you lied then in court (which I was at on behalf of the company) and your lying now. And guess what?????? I'm not ever going to respond to the case ever. What I am going to do however is see if I can do something legally against you in regards to the slander written on this posting about my credit report and the crap about crimal charges against me.

What people reading this site don't get is the other side of a story. Just because your in business doesn't mean your a target for anyone to slander and hurt. I've bein in the business world for over 30 years and never and a do mean never have I had anyone attack me the way people have since I have been in this industry.

Matthew even you thought I was great once to help you when the lender was going to take your car back because you chouldn't pay your payments.

And Matthew, don't you ever mention my children on this site or any other web site again. You what to attack me okay, but if you ever think I'll let you say anything about them again, I'll sue so fast for anything I can find against you, then you'll know exactly where I am.

Debra I don't know why you are still running a "business". I love how you come across as the innocent one by trying to defend your name. People are speaking up against you, which is causing you to get no business.
I wish you would get your facts correct when it comes to my case against Ascott Auto and Yourself. FIRST: I didn't file the first case for $1000. I filed the first case for the same amount as the second case. The reason there was a second case was that the judge told me that I needed to add your name on it and not Ms. Alva. The two of you will blame each other to get away with anything. TWO: I brought you into court and stated my case. Which was well indepth of information about your scamming past. So the juge didn't believe your lies about you not being the owner of that business. I have a copy of that license from downtown and it shows you as an owner. The judge is a lot smarter than you, so that is why she awarded the judgement against you and Ascott. IF you believed it was wrong, then you should have fought it. You didn't even show up for the following court date. THIRD: I have a copy of your credit report because I had a judgment against you, and my name is on it. Have you looked at your report lately? I should post it for everyone to see. There are so many negative reportings on the report. I will continue to keep it on there until you are either DEAD, in PRISON, or my MONEY IS PAID. FOURTH: For you to comment that I was happy with the job you did placing my car. Lets get a few things straight. Yes you placed my car, but the payments were not made by the people. AND according to OUR contract you didn't make the payments either, as promised. Then my car was taken out of the state of California. Payments were never made. You and your company were not helpful. I did finally get my vehicle back, but there were many many many miles on it, missing parts, and damage. So you didn't make the past payments or pay for the damage, like it said in the contract that you and I had. I still have that contract. So if you pay those late payments and the damage, then it would be cleared up. The total is what I was awarded in the judgment.
Debra you can file anything against me and bring me into court. I would love to see you face to face. You and I both know that if you do take me to court and you and I show up, you will be taken away. Would you want to take that chance? I don't think so. You have a problem with me, contact me directly. I have tried contacting you, and you avoided. WHY would the courts lie? There is a judment, so obviously you OWE me the money. Just pay up. I will say anything and everything about you, Tom (pussy of a husband), and your daughter (which is a scammer just like you)

ANYONE OUT THERE!!!!! contact me and I will help to get this family. So NO ONE BELIEVE WHAT SHE SAYS.....

FYI: If I had a camera Debra when we were in court and I showed you the information that I had about you, WOW it was priceless. You were shocked that someone actually did their homework. I have a company working for me to get my money that is due. It was $5,000., but it is a lot more since there is interest and fees added.

Have a wonderful day Miss Debra Monfore, and all the other names your go by.
Matthew

I cannot believe what had happened to my car. The driver (lesser) was un-cooperative in giving me my keys back so I had to hire someone to make one for me. My car was in horrible condition. Matthew if you can contact me please this website does not allow people to post link emails or phone numbers (nixonrotolog123 at yahoo dot com) please contact me. I would love to see Debra and her scammer family go to court and lose. Cause of Debra not keeping her contract agreement the lesser made late payments every single time I don't even know if she had insurance she always had a parking ticket and Debra hardly ever did anything to prevent this.

they are now located at 730 Oro Terrace San Pedro Ca 90731 their new number is 310-514-3078 they have alot of cars there I know because I live down the street

Ok I am Sara,
I am the one of many people responsible for bringing this company to the attention of the police and every agency. I am one of the few who have recovered many cars from this auto theft ring. I am the one who had the balls to tell her she can't steal cars anymore and i stood up for many victims. When the police said this was a civil matter and everyone was shi# out of luck because they gave the theives the keys. At one time she claimed my words were slander etc and i was a liar and she made up all kinds of lies about me and i even ended up in a jail cell because of her lies. And there is a case pending. So i can't disclose to much info.

But here is where you can find her

Police tailed alleged "Hillside Burglars" ringleader for weeks
1:05 PM | January 21, 2009

Undercover LAPD detectives who specialize in blending into the landscape followed the alleged mastermind of the notorious “Hillside Burglars” -- responsible for taking more $10 million in cash and property from the homes of executives, celebrities and sports stars -- for more than a month during an investigation that led to his arrest.
Troy Corsby Thomas was tailed by the Los Angeles Police Department's Special Investigation Section as he became the focus of a probe into more than 150 break-ins over the last three years in some of Los Angeles' wealthiest neighborhoods. The undercover unit is so well known for its ability to tail suspects in traffic without attracting attention that its methods are used by na tional security agencies.
Thomas, 45, who officials say was one of two leaders of the gang, was taken into custody Saturday after a three-year investigation by a special Police Department task force.

Thomas, who lives in a gated West Valley community, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to two charges of residential burglary in January 2006 and March 2008. He was ordered held in lieu of $2 million bail. Additional charges were expected to be filed, according to sources.
The Hillside Burglars, as they were known, usually wore black clothes, ski masks and gloves when breaking into homes in Bel-Air, Beverly Hills and Holmby Hills -- the so-called Platinum Triangle -- and the hills above Encino and Sherman Oaks. They usually struck at night and on weekends, while homeowners were out of town, police said. The ring is one of several in recent years that have targeted these areas, which are home to many celebrities, corporate titans and studio chiefs.

“They were sophisticated. They were professional. ... No one could stop them,” said Harvey I. Saferstein, president of the Bel-Air homeowners association.
Despite carefully planning, Thomas' downfall was DNA that he left at burglary scenes examined by the LAPD's Scientific Investigation Division forensic scientists.
“You can just imagine that for more than a few years this guy must have pretty smug and pretty untouchable. But he didn't realize he touched something and left behind his DNA," said Councilman Jack Weiss at a news conference.

Law enforcement sources said police got a break in the case when they found some stolen safes that had been dumped in a canyon. As a testament to their skills, the burglars evaded security systems and cameras in all but one of their break-ins. The only time the burglars were caught on a security camera was at an Encino estate. The tape shows a brief image of two muscular men without their masks, police said. But their faces were hard to see.

“They were very sophisticated by the standards of residential burglars. They were much more skilled,” said LAPD Deputy Chief Charlie Beck.
In police records, Thomas described himself as an auto broker, but Beck said the convicted burglar had only one line of work.
“This is what he does for a living,” Beck said.
Investigators are searching for at least one other ringleader of the break-in crew, as well as several others whom they believe assisted in various burglaries.

Police did not release the names of the burglary victims. But two sources with knowledge of the investigation said the burglars hit the home of former Paramount Pictures chief Sherry Lansing and her director husband, William Friedkin. They also stole $500,000 in cash and jewelry from the Bel-Air mansion of Clippers star Cuttino Mobley.
Duran Duran guitarist John Taylor and his wife, Juicy Couture President Gela20Nash-Taylor, had a safe taken from their Hollywood Hills home, the sources said, and the home of country singers Tim McGraw and Faith Hill was hit while the couple was out of town.

I would like to say a few words to Deb Monfore with her 50 aka's stealing cars out of other states still. All of your lies and bad karma and of course all the info i supplied the police with. you'll be spending along time in jail. And if you think this case your in is your last case please!! the wheels of justice can turn slow, but they turn. for all of the peoples lives you've destroyed. you and Troy should be ashamed of yourselves. Troy the wannabee mr LA who was going to silence me WITH HIS THUGS and you making fake charges against me. The truth is about to come out against you. So enjoy every steak you eat, the luxury of life etc. they don't provide steaks in jail. And To you Troy I hope your theiving ass rots in jail and the world finds out how your real secret.
And Deb don't think for a minute all the people you sold all that stolen jewerly to aren't sht##ing their pants waiting for the the LAPD to come knocking on their doors. The popo is sniffing, O and lets not forget Deb, We won't tell Social security about all of this extra income and Toms.

So with all your slander and trying to make me look bad to the police, for standing up for all the victims who the police could careless about or thier hands were so called tied. The fact speak for themselves. You debra monfore and Troy thomas, Tom , mandy with her criminal car theft, herion addiction problems. and a few others i can't mention till after the trial, your just a bunch of low class thieves. And in the end crime dosen't pay. The wheels always catch up with you.

The sad part of all of this to everyone is there's 2 victims here the car owner and the people who paid good money down and made the payments in good faith. and you never paid on the owners cars. You had the money and there was sooo much room for you and troy and the other crooks to make more then a head surgeon of a hospital each . But greed and thinking you were above the LAW is whats taking you down. Yea you had a few dirty cops on your side, but their lies will strip them of their badge very soon. It's called internal affairs!!!

And to the publisher of this site thankyou for allowing me to post before these people were ever charged, If you had not let me post a "beware of this company" we would of probably not found the hundereds of victims of these people. So thanks for seeing through her lies and helping everyone. you made it all come together.
Sara

would like to file a complaint i was on the other side i leased/rented 3 vehicles from debra/josh and corday and was robbed blind all 3 times - who do i contact - i am glad that they will be in trouble please let me know what to do (((Redacted)))
