In February 2007, I signed up with Hargrave and Associates, with a represenative by the name of Mia. She assured me that this was a reptuable creditor restoration company. I was charged $280, and it was taking directly out of my account. In the beginning she told me what to expect, and for awhile i begin to recieve credit reports as Mia stated. On several occasions i would call to check the status of my case, and they would blow me off with lies, and excuses. This is what prompted me to research further.

After researching and attempting to call them I recieved a busy signal everday all day long and I could no longer pull up their web site. My husband signed up with them as well and he paid them $150, for absoulutely nothing because they told him he owed more money in order to begin the process. I am very angry and will indeed take further action.

#1 Consumer Suggestion

They were shut down by the FTC.

AUTHOR: Robert - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, December 04, 2008

Complaints should be addressed to the FTC prosecuting attorney.
They were shut down by the FTC for violations of several laws: THE CREDIT REPAIR ORGANIZATIONS ACT, THE TELEMARKETING SALES RULE, and SECTION 5 OF THE FTC ACT. Civil Action No. 3:08-CV-1001-J-34JRK. FTC File No. 082 3007.

On October 23, 2008 the District Court ordered all assets and records of LATRESE & KEVIN ENTERPRISES INC.(DBA Hargrave & Associates Financial Solutions) into temporary receivership with Lewis B. Freeman appointed as temporary receiver for the court. There was a preliminary hearing scheduled for November 3, 2008, but the FTC has not yet posted the results of that hearing on the FTC website.

Any client of this outfit should read the complaint and the temporary restraining order at the FTC.gov website:

I would also suggest that anyone with a claim or complaint against this outfit contact the prosecuting attorney Jessica D. Gray BEFORE establishing further contact with ANYONE associated with this outfit.
