Nothing. Our company would cease to exist unless we are providing a service that others want and / or need. How that is provided is equally as important and we strive everyday to exceed our industry’s standards. We want to set the bar high and provide our clients with the best care and guidance possible. If you know Mike personally, you know that he won’t settle for anything less and he instills that drive and determination in all of us. Both him and the clients are what keep us motivated and fuel our desire to do the best job we can.”

Ripoff Report Verified™ .. part of Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.A program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business..

TrueBuild Credit works with customers to build credit through financing. The company states that they work with entrepreneurs to leverage and build business credit regardless of their personal credit with the goal of being the absolute best in the industry. In order to build clientele, the company discovers leads primarily through email marketing campaigns and search engine optimization. Additionally, many of their clients are referred by lenders of conventional funding sources like banking institutions. The company primarily conducts business over the phone or the internet. Once a client is established, the company categorizes them through a series of questions. Additionally, the company states that they educate their clients on business credit through this process.

Once the client has been profiled and categorized, the company maps out a plan according the client’s needs. They provide a written guarantee of the program outlined plan and send the client a confirmation email that contains a link in which the customer fills out and returns the complete application with their business and personal information. Upon submission of the application, a credit technician is assigned to client within 24-48 hours who conducts an intake interview, defines objectives and further maps out a game plan. Verifications of components are put in place and recognized by the company. Pete Woodsworth, True Build Credit’s Director of sales states, “This is a highly accelerated process that condenses 3-5 years of business credit to be developed in 3-4 months.”

In order to follow up with the client during the sales process, the internal systems synchronize to ensure technical collaboration is very efficient for client support. Additionally, when a technician is having difficulty on a call, they can ask for a managerial decision and assistance on the call. The company states to ensure customer satisfaction follow up procedures are not monitored.



TrueBuild talks about the report on Ripoff Report.

Some of the complaints TrueBuild Credit receives are in regards a client’s confusion of what they read online and what they hear on the phone. Lexie Lynch, Senior Credit Technician states, “Sometimes clients think the voice they are hearing is too young, creating a false perception and ask, ‘Where is my money?’ The amount of money does not meet their expectation.” To work with clients in this situation, the company mentions that they go through a compliance checklist which helps them understand the process point by point.

The company runs into issues with clients that feel nothing is done when they have not heard from TrueBuild Credit in a month. The company states there are two levels to be purchased, an elite level and an average level. The membership levels are clarified and the plan is chosen according to their needs. Lexie Lynch commented, “When I hear someone struggling with a call, I will groove the call. Grooving is internal messaging on the technicians screen that helps to communicate and interact with a difficult call.”

TrueBuild Stated Improvements

Since the company has received complaints through Ripoff Report, they state they have worked to research and share learned knowledge. The company states they are taking more time in clarifying the steps necessary to ensure the customer’s success. Pete Woodsworth states, “We explain the process of establishing and building a business profile. There is a specific order and no steps can be missed. Also, by uncovering the client’s needs and their objective as it relates to business credit and fact finding.”

Furthermore, TrueBuild Credit states they feel internal communication is key amongst their employees and they address any misperceptions immediately. Membership to the company is for those who want to start a business, wanting to build their business credit or their existing business. Mike Barrien, President of True Build Credit states, “This is not an alternative means to fix bad personal credit.”

In order to resolve and prevent many of the complaints that have been filed on Ripoff Report, the company states that solutions are discovered on a case by case basis and a support manager handles all expectations. Mike Barrien states, “If a client is still adamant, Mike or Amber speaks with them. Sometimes refunds happen. We are clarifying up front details so mistakes are less, being clearer upfront.”

Furthermore, the company states that customers applying on their own must follow program guidelines. Mr. Barrien continued, “We rewrote terms and conditions to remedy this. We are weeding out clients who need to pay off bad bills, problem clients who do not pay bills on time, and those clients who signed up under different trenches who might have buyer’s remorse.”

TrueBuild Credit feels that it is important to be a part of the Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program because they feel they are fair and represents their business. They state there are competitors who write up fake testimonials and they feel they are real. Mike Barrien states. “Our program is honest, ethical, and helps people, real entrepreneurs.”

NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED

------------------------------------

The Corporate Credit Network and TrueBuild Corporate Credit Program True Build Corp Build Mike Berrien Newport Beach, California

I had the same experience as all the other complaints. 1st that Erick Martinez didn't know what he was doing. After giving him everything he asked for to run reports he tells me he needs more stuff after about 2 months goes by. Unprofessional and incompetent. After months and months I finally get through to the owner via email and he assigns me to a new person who vanishes almost immediately. The 3rd person got me a few gas cards but no $50,000 business credit as promised in 6 months. It was always "waiting for the loan officers to come in". Finally she asked if I would do a loan using my personal info! It's corporate credit!! You ran my reports and took my money because you said my company qualified!!! Finally I emailed the owner and called him a joke. Then I got a lengthy angry response about how he owned 7 companies and had friends in the board room at D&B. He accused me of insulting his employees which never happened.  (I've included a copy of the email he sent below) That's when I knew this company was not going to honor anything they said they would do. At the end he said he would look into my file. Never happened. Asked for a refund numerous times and received no response. All in all it has been almost 3 years. STAY AWAY!!!

You have to be kidding right? I run 7 companies and oversee projects throughout
Orange County. My employees are the best there is but any sort of nonsense
insult again will not be taken lightly. In addition the fact that I am the only
one in this industry that has contacts in the board room at DNB, I will look at
your file when I get the chance and see what the issues are you have 7 pages of
notes and I know for a fact that if Natalie is in charge of it then she is doing
all she can, if you keep down this path we can always red flag your corp. and
name and business credit building can cease forever or we can look into what has
been done and let you know what reality is and what can be approved moving
forward and perhaps adding more larger trades to move up the ladder. Now let me
explain that I am serious do NOT insult myself or anyone at my company again,
they are there to help you not put up with nonsense, if you talk to my employees
like that then this relationship will cease along with your business credit in
your corp. and your name permanently.

Mike
