Consumer Grants USA ripoff they promised a guaranteed grant St Petersburg Florida

The complaint is against Consumer Grants/Freedom Grants and not against Grants or Loans Association.

There are no actions against Grants or Loans Association. The actions are against Consumer Grants.

Well, I am sorry to disappoint you but there are no grants for personal needs or s**t like that..
instead grants go to local governments, state offices or non profit organizations, who then use the money to operate assistance programs locally.. FOOD STAMPS, WELFARE..those are some examples on how the grants are used for..

Besides, your company in florida doesn't seem to have license ..so how can you do business in any state without a license?? VERY INTERESTING RIGHT??

YOUR COMPANY IS JUST A RIPP OFF..TELL ME /..why do people need to pay you for a grant, when the grant is free and available at www.cfda.gov ??

Within the past 36 months, the BBB has procesed at least 406 COMPLAINTS AGAINST YOUR COMPANY!
