US Grant Relief is run by dishonest owners

AUTHOR: sean - (United States of America)

POSTED: Thursday, August 05, 2010

Don't do business with US Grant Relief. The owners, especially Sheryl,  are liars and very deceitful.They lie to potential employees, lie to all customers and lied to their employees.They told the employees that they had to change their name for tax reasons to seperate themselves from another office which doesnt exist. Truth be told, they went bankrupt to avoid paying bills. The ads they place say hourly plus, but when interviewed, it's commission only. When I called them on that, they continued placing such ads. And all employees are trained to misrepresent what amount companies are qualified for and the time frame for funding. Ask them how many small business loans they have funded.There are zero listed on the website. Ask if the employees are licensed, not. Ask how many grants have been funded in the past year. There are only 3 grants listed as recently funded on their website. They averaged around 10 sales per week when i was there. That's 40 a month. If they funded grants in the 3-6 month time frame as we were instructed to tell them, there should literally be dozens if not over 100 recently funded projects.Ask them if they have a bond, not. If that doesnt raise red flags then buyer beware. There isn't isnt even a phone number on their website to contact them , very unprofessional, because they are hiding the fact that they take money and don't fund grants or SBA loans. The employee who posted a rebuttal claiming that the grant writing team, Helping Hearts and Hands was fired for lack of production. TOTAL LIE! I asked Marla Rivera, the head grant writer at Helping Hearts and Hands, about Capital Investment Services, now US Grant Relief. Here's her reply:

"Capital Investment Services breached their contract with us.  I was under the impression they had filed bankruptcy, changed their name, had their phones disconnected and moved.  That is all I know about them now.  I know this much, they never paid for people to do the work they sold.  It's just that simple.  Keep taking people's mone and never pay for the staff to do the work.
At the end they were over $30,000.00 in debt to us, and literally took the majority of the funding for a large project I traveled and did.  That's the jest of it."

One last question for anyone stupid enough to do business with these scumbags:

Who would you trust, someone that has kept their name for years and has a phone number on their site(Helping Hearts and Hands) or someone that has changed names 3 times recently and has no phone number on their site?

Mark Smith was more correct than the rebuttals from employees and Marla Rivera deserves so much better. It's too bad as the employees who work for this company are good people, not the owners.

False Claims

AUTHOR: I disagree - (United States of America)

POSTED: Monday, May 24, 2010

All false statements made by Mr Mark Brown. We do not guarantee 3rd party monies, never have and never will.  He, also fails to mention that these post dated checks that he would bring in, which by the way are frowned upon by the company and part of the reason he was dismissed, were never conveyed to the accounting dept the arrangements that were made with his clients, and that in all cases the second we found out the problem we reimbursed the client any fees they might have incurred and their money. Which for record all of these clients are all happy with the service they have received and are currently working with our grant team. Also, these false claims that Mr Brown is making, representing himself as clients, using their names, have been forwarded to them. I am sure some of them will be exercising their legal rights and pursuing Mr Brown.

"code of ethics# what a joke

AUTHOR: MARCUS - (United States of America)

POSTED: Friday, May 21, 2010

"Rebuttal to the Rebuttal"
us grant relief, llc, SCAM< they write back that they have a  "Code Of Ethics" (what a Joke) A) listen to clients needs and utilise the best professional direction to achieve those goals. thats a lie, i had consulted three new small business. Sixkiller Enterprizes, Inc. one stop grocery store, mohagany limo services, inc. all three of these clients ask me if they could post date there checks for 2,500.00 and post date there ach forms for payment to enroll with this company. the owner of the company Sheryl Delano put the checks in the back the same day, and ran the ach forms as soon as she revieved the fax. what code of ethics does this company go by. it soulds like fraud to me. i had enformed her that the checks where post dated, she didnt care they need the money to keep there doors open. B) never mislead a client in regards to time frame or grant funding> what a joke they mislead all prospect and told them they are approved for there grant an will recieve the money in 3 months. thats a lie as well. (again what code of ethics does this company have. Aka Capital investment services, inc, how many name changes does this company have to have if the are company that has any work Ethics., (can you say Scam). to clear things up I was a professional sales agent for this company, i never miss lead my client. i was not awear i was working for a scam company, that has not gotten anyone funded under three different corp names. they change their name as much as i change my briefs. thats alot. what code of ethics do you have went you tell clients you are part of Helping Hearts And Helping Hands. (thats a lie as well)

Ex Employee,
Mark

Please Read Carefully

AUTHOR: I disagree - (United States of America)

POSTED: Monday, May 10, 2010

We have a standard that we adhere to, and a code of ethics that we enforce with our facilitators and grant writers. When an employee doesn't meet these standards or code of ethics we will not tolerate their employment within our company and thus their employment will be terminated. As is the case with this blogger. If you will notice the author of the post wasn't smart enough to not include their real name, which made it easy for us to identify them as an ex-employee. You can make your own judgment as to why this ex-employee was let go based on his lack of ability to represent himself in a professional manner, as is evident by his blog.

As a company that is trying to be of assistance to clients who are in need of financial assistance, being able to represent one's self in a professional manner is very important. Having to explain ourselves, due to disgruntled ex-employees, gets a bit tiresome. Intelligent business people, when coming to sites like this, are looking for information of substance, not some disgruntled ex-employee who has an axe to grind.

If you are a company or business person that is wanting to find out information, beyond what you have been told by your grant facilitator, please feel free to contact the BBB, Attorney General, Secretary of State, or any other consumer advocacy agency. You will find that we do not have any consumer complaints against our company. The reasoning being that we do provide a much needed service to businesses, non-profit organizations, and industries that are listed as eligible by the private sector foundations. We do not make any promises to a client, as it is not our monies. Grants are third party monies that are gifts from either private foundations or the government.

To those business persons seeking to utilize our services, please feel free to contact us at anytime. We will gladly explain the process and answer any questions that you might have. Like you, we want to work on a professional level and achieve a common goal. Unlike this blogger, whom feels the need to slander his previous employer with false information, representing himself as a possible client. Whom we have forwarded all the blogs made by this ex-employee to the proper authorities, including the possible client he is trying to represent himself as.  Although blog sites like this one don't require any evidence to back up claims, consumer advocacy agencies and government agencies due. Fortunately for companies that have false information reported against them, these agencies can and will take legal action.
