Called me and pushed me into trying their "plan". Paid an entry fee of 895.00 but if they failed to do what they said they could, which was save me 1500.00, I could get a full refund.
I gave it a try and this was last Nov. 2008. After sending in my profile and finding out they failed on their promise, I was entitled to a refund.
They called me on June 10 and said I'd have my refund in 90 days. This is now Nov 2009 and I still haven't seen it. Everytime I call, I get blown off and transferred to a voice mail. They have NEVER returned my calls or voice messages.
How can they get away with this!

I hate to give you the bad news. But you and every other person who bought into this company's line of crap will never recieve a refund. On 12-7-09 43 employees were let go. At this time remaining phone solicitors were moved into the area where customer service reps and the so called Financial Advisors and the consultants perform the their daily tasks. After listening to many calls customer service dept recieved and listening closely to the conversations. CFAB owes many many people refunds . And these so called licensed and trained consultants and financial advisors call you and pretend to deliver you a service that you paid for. What you have paid for you can do yourself. As of now CFAB cannot get your rates lowered. BOA is posting CFAB as fraudulent company. BOA is actually calling consumers and warning them against CFAB after charge has been made on their credit cards. And as far as rebuttal #2 coming from the owner. One of his flunky's posted that. this man does not care what happens to anyone. He just returned to his home in Maryland after vacationing in Hawaii for 2 weeks. He looks at it this way. CFAB is saling a product. This product consist of a binder with clients name member ID number fill in the blank numbers with your information. With colorful bargrahs and liturature he looked up on the internet.OH! you will recieve 2 cds. This company has no respect for it's Customers. It does not even have respect for it's remaining employees. In which when it came time to recieve our pay check yesterday we all were told at 5:30 we would not recieve our pay checks, until Monday. Despite the fact that Todd Meyers (and that is another story) told the phone solicitors on 12-10-09 that 300,000.00 had been released from the processor and Bryan Mitchell (owner)was at the bank depositing the money. Not to mention that this is a dog eat dog company. And the men and women that they have as supervisors are treacherous. Liars and manipulators. You want your money call the Fla Department of agriculture and Fla Attorney General. Stay on these agencies until you get your complaint resolved. This company is a potential tax write off. It has lost millions of dollars. Owner will try to recoup some of the loses...ACT NOW!!!!!!!
