These people are predators of peoples hardships! After contacting me through the mail my husband decided to give them a call for help. Right from the beginning of the phone conversation;which ultimatly lasted over two hours; they worked to lull my husband into a false sense of security and equally shared hardships. They even went so for as to claim that like my husband they had turned to this company for help with there own problems and had been so impressed with the results and the treatment that they found themselves leaving there old job as a loan officer to join this company. After shifting him around to numerous people they finally had him hooked. The catch was they had to have his payment to process to papers,I'm sure he seemed like the perfect fish when he admitted he was not of the computer age! He gave verbal consent for three different electronic withdrawls from our joint account totally1495.00.Time was of the utmost importance the papers where being mailed right out, he needed to get them back as quickly as he recieved them. Upon recieving these documents it put my fears into overdrive. Instead of having a fight with my husband Iwent to work on the internet.First the email address the papers provided didn't jive. Then I started reverse phone listings, address confermations,Baltimore attorney listings, nothing was adding up to a reputabale company by any means. After four and half hours of seaching I had all the proof I needed to show my husband he was being scammed and I was about to loss 1495.00! I have enough problems now making ends meet I'm not about to give my hard earned money away to scum like this.Even though it was a sunday morning and not one of there stated business days I had no time to waste the company was due to remove the first installment of 500.00 the next day. I quickly penned a document that my husband signed and I faxed to the company stating not only was he revoking the authorization he had given but that he didn't want to retain them for any services. Monday morning first thing my husband goes to the bank to inform them he has a problem and wants to stop these withdrawls,I couldn't believe he was home in minutes telling me there was nothing he could do. After the withdrawls where made he could contest them but his verbal recording was enough. I wasn't taking that crap either, now where both at the bank  and I'm telling them as politely as a madhatter can be that that's just not good enough. In the end I had to close my accounts,open new ones , seperate savings accounts ,change direct depoists of payroll accounts and not a single returned phone call has come from this company! Thank god I took the time to check them out. Save yourselves a lot of trouble and stay away from these guys.

I was treated fair by this company

AUTHOR: John W - (United States of America)

POSTED: Friday, December 10, 2010

I also received a letter in the mail from American Home Relief Foundation LLC. I called this company and everything sounded good (very similar to beginning of original report). I decided to pay $1495 and proceed according to thier advice. After paying the money I was punching their company name into the internet and found this ripoff report. Immediately I was convinced I was being scammed. I contacted them right away and told them I thought it was a scam and demanded a refund. I was already past a 48hr grace period that I agreed to both in phone conversation and in a contract that I faxed to them. The customer service rep told me that she would try to get me a refund anyway but needed to talk to her manager for authorization since it was past the grace period. Later that day the manager called me and talked to me about their program again. He tried to calm me down and convice me that his company is legitimate. I've never heard of scammers calling the victim back and try to resell their program after they already had the money, but I was too freaked out to want to do business anymore and I told the manager that I didn't feel comfortable. He authorized a full refund EVEN THOUGH HE DIDN'T HAVE TO, and the funds were returned to my account 2 business days later. I did not proceed with their services so I can't speak to a success of the services, but I'm personally 99.9% convinced that they are a legitimate company based on my experience. Also, throughout this process I spoke to the original evaluator, a customer service rep, a manager, a person in accounting (after the refund was authorized), and then the next day, another manager called me because he didn't know the issue was resolved. If this is a scam it is quite elaborate, I'm pretty sure they're legit. As I stated, I've heard stories of people getting scammed and not having their calls/emails returned by the scammer afterward, but this company answered the phone every time I called and called me back as promised. This company seems legit to me based on my experience with them.

Thank You!!

POSTED: Wednesday, November 03, 2010

Thanks so much for informing the masses of this dubious companies dealings. We just received a letter from them as well & it sounded waaaayyyy to good to be true- apparently it is! Think I will focus on the Short Sale we are dealing with & keeping a decent credit score. I don't have extra money to give nor the time it sounds like this Company (aka- crooks) want to take from honest people who are struggling ion today's declining home values & shaky economy! Best of luck to you. We all need it in this day & age. Be smart & do your homework before giving out any personal info to ANYONE!

Not a client! how about the truth and not a victim

AUTHOR: lsmi3735 - (United States of America)

POSTED: Wednesday, July 14, 2010

This company would love for you to believe I'm not real. Kind of funny considering the have been blowing up my phone trying to get their documents. At one point they even claimed I had only 24 hours before they were going to deduct from my bank account.The only thing they did seem to listen to was when I informed them I had taken the time to report them not only to the attorny general for ct. but also the attorney general for virgina, the banking and secerities dept.and the better business . Not to mention anywhere on the internet that would listen. It was a matter of days before they had the posting up that I'm not real. Believe me when I tell you I'm as real as they come, but I'm not about to let anybody swindel me out of my money and you shouldn't either.

#1 UPDATE Employee

Not even a client of ours

AUTHOR: mab - (United States of America)

POSTED: Tuesday, June 29, 2010

This complaint is completely false. This person clearly lists Colchester as their location and we have never had any clients loacted in Colchetser. We would be glad to address any valid complaints against our company from anyone that does not use an anonymous site like ripoffreport.com and would welcome this supposed client to call us directly. We know that the person who posted this complaint is an employee of a competing company and challenge them to provide proof that they are a client of ours.
