I first contacted Mr. Michaels thru his radio program, Mortgage Makeovers in May of 2014. I was despirate to save an apt. bldg. which was in foreclosure. I explained to him the details of my situation. He said he had contacts in the mortgage business that he thought would be able to save my property. He said he had stopped assisting people wih their word that they would pay him after the deal had closed. I sent him by bank deposit into his account $3500.00 dollars. I also had another property which he said hus contacts would be able to get my mortgage rewritten. I sent him an additional $2500.00  My admitted greed and gullibility inspired me to ask if he could help me with the mortgage on the home I was living in and he said he could.

I sent him an additional $1750.00. Mr. Michaels assured me that the mortgages would be rewritten within a three month time frame, but if not all of my money would be returned to me. What ensued is too long and embarrasing to talk about other than to say I engaged in an 18 mo series of lies promising to refund me the money I sent him because nothing was successful. I at no time received any proof of that anywork was being done event though he assured me it was.He would give me a short term date for when the money would be deposited only to have the date come and go with no reason given unless I called him and then he had some fantastic coinsidence that somehow precluded him from getting to the bank. He has refunded me $2500.00 of the money he owes me. I took it because I had bills that needed to be paid.

I have decided to file this report because Mr. Michaels assured me that he would pay me the balance he owes me if I waited about six weeks. The money was to be deposited in my bank on August 15,2016. Needless the money was not deposited. When I asked him about it, he said there was a 10 day hold on out of state deposits. I called the bank he said the money was in and they said in most instances the funds would be availabe in less than 10 days. I waited ten days and wouldn't you know it, Mr. Michaels had come down with a bad case of pneumonia, and was hospitalized. He was too sick to inform me of his illness but not too sick to let me know he was in the hospital when I texted him inquiring what had happened.

When I told him I found it eerily similar to another occassion when a personal misfortune prevented him from depositing money into my account, he was insulted. I last texted him on 9/2/2016. The money still has not been deposited into my account. In truth, I don't know if he ever intended to deposit the money but he consistantly promised me he would. This man has no integrity. I realize I was beyond gullible to wait so long to file this report. Ken Michaels, an "wolf in sheeps clothing". I have seen himm for what is is, an inveterate liar and conman.

Ken Michaels 3 YEARS Later

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Friday, July 07, 2017

I called Mr. Michaels this morning (7-7-17). I told him I was open to settling with him. I said I was willing to accept from him what he thought was fair. He then stated what was fair would be for him to give me back what he owed me. He said he would refund me my money only if, as he had requested previously, I had my complaint removed. He said I would have my money "within the hour". This tells me, if what he says is true: 1. He agrees thathe owes me money. 2.He has the money. 3. He wants his name removed from the Rip Off Report, completely. Unlike before when I thought he would renege once the complaint was removed, I agree to request a removal. I did not know TROR did not remove complaints, period.

When I told Mr M. that The Rip Off Report did not remove reports filed, but that I could post an update he asked me by text "What good does an update do me?" I texted back "It sets the record straight. As the ROP said, "we all make mistakes". I am ready to move on. I have no control over TROR".He responded "You had control when you posted it. Yeah sorry, that doesn't do anything for me"

I informed him I would post this update re: our conversation this morning to which he responded by text " ...please post nothing else". After requesting a reason why I should not update my complaint, his last request was"...pleast don't. Have a great day".

I am filing this to make others aware of my personal experience with Mr. Michaels.

He is: an inveterate liar, a con man, and an unprincipled business owner, in my opinion. Consider yourself lucky if you have experienced anything good in dealing with him.

What is the Rellivance Mr. M?

I deposited a total of $7750.00 into your bank account. You said I would receive a mortgage "re-write" because you had contacts in the industry due to the relationships you developed over your illustious career. Yes, and I fell for it. After 90 days, I was supposed to be getting a refund if the deal did not go thru. You never once gave me any proof that anybody was doing anything. Remember the time you gave me the name of the notary public who was supposed to bring loan docs to my house? She never came. I went to the State of CA licencing website and no such person existed Mr,M,. But I digress, You failed to keep your word Mr, M, and you just kept on lying.

Person to complain about Mr. Michaels' business practices. Nevertheless, seeing he really is a man of such lofty moral character and I am a really a greedy defrauding low life, I find it hard to understand why he for more than six months alleged that my file was being worked on. I also can't understand why after he "discovered" the nature of my scandleous machinations, he did not immediately return my money and vigorously wash his hands of the matter. It has been 2 years and I patiently waited for , well sometimes impatiently waited for my refund. Curiously it was only after I filed this report TODAY, he has condescended  to return my money, AFTER I REMOVE THIS REPORT! I have the proof on my cell phone Mr. M. Coincidently, I lost the property Mr. M (ichaels) "guy" was trying to save. Oh, because I am such a low life, he feels no need to pay interest on the money he has held foe 26 months. Of course I don't deserve such a benefit in his eyes.

 This gentlemen contacted me after he defrauded his lender on the apt building in question. He was collecting rents which I have proof of and wasn't paying the mortgage. Yet he was telling his lender he wasn't collecting rents when in fact he was and pocketing the money. He reached out to me and asked me to be a consultant to try toget his lender to change the type of loan he had. I don't do that. He the asked me to also handle another property if his that he did the same thing on. I did consult him on his options and spent countless hours taking his calls and emails with questions. This guy is a belligerent human being who try's to stick it to lenders. He's mad that I won't be a part of that.
