I had house in Bucktown area, however the its value dropped around 40 % last three
years and in addition my husband lost his job so we decided to short sale this house and to move into an apartment.
In November 2011I went the office of IKON located on Webster and Damen in Chicago
seeking help to do the short sale on my house.
Mr. Ivan Diaz and one of his assistant were very nice to me and to the other clients and they
offered to everybody coffee, chocolates and donuts, but later on I found out that it was
just a game to scam everybody.
I noticed that the clients were believing him and they were paying him around $3000 to $5000 up front
just to do the short sale and to restore the credit as they promised.
I paid $4000 for my foreclosure defense and I gave him my keys.
They promised me to find a buyer fast and to convince the buyer to cover some of my expenses
of last year remodeled bathrooms and kitchen in that house.
Also I have recommended (unfortunately) one of my girlfriends to him.
She also had same problem with her house and she also gave him her keys and paid him a $4000 fee up front a few days later.
We moved to apartments on north side, and we were calling IKON once a week to find out what is going on.....
So far we did not feel the disaster was about to start...
After 4 months of waiting my husband and me started looking to buy another house (he had a good credit so far).
Apparently we found a house purchased on auction by the same IKON Development Company.
What's the coincidence....
We did not have enough cash to go to auction directly ,but with IKON everything seemed to be a good deal. They were looking for a buyer to short sale our house,
they promised to restore my credit and in addition the potential buyer will have to cover some of our expenses on this house......But unfortunately it did not work like that
I was tired already of dealing with this IKON so my husband was dealing with them. This house was very trashed out.somebody took everything from kitchen and bathrooms, even pipes were removed from the walls.
But as the Manager of IKON told us not to worry about that, because actually he could get a better price on auction because of bad condition of the house.
He promised to help with the loan and to fix the house right away while processing the loan.
My husband said the he needs to see the house remodeled first before he buys it.
Around one month later he went there to see the house that he was about to buy and he noticed that
actually the kitchen appliances, kitchen cabinets are not new....they were used and taken from our old house.....he recognized them by some scratches done by our kids in our old house.
My husband saw that but he did not say anything .....
Since I still were on the title of the old house went there with a locksmith ( IKON put their own locks) and we got in and we noticed ...that's right .....all our cabinets from kitchen and baths have been removed....which means they were trying to sell us our own cabinets.....
Later on we have called my old lender to find out what is happening with the short sale.....
We found out that basically IKON has not done anything besides misinforming the bank that our building was abandoned and trashed out and they actually are trying to foreclose it fast to buy it on auction.....
I talked to my girlfriend and she got into her old house the same way.... and same story happened to her..what's the coincidence.....
She is so mad and she does not want to talk to me anymore....That way thanks to IKON Development
I lost my friend, my house and my money( with an attorney I could stay in my house up to 3 years without paying mortgage but by IKON's advice unfortunately I moved out)....
I want to aware anyone not to deal with these dishonest people.....who lie to anybody and steal from anybody with no hesitation...

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company
UPDATE - Ripoff Report does NOT take down complaints, EVER! Ripoff Report sets the Record Straight! Ripoff Report does not currently have anyone soliciting business from the Arbitration Department. Be on the lookout for variations of SEO Scams
AUTHOR: Ivan Diaz - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, February 09, 2013
Rip off Report:
My name is Ivan Diaz, President and co-founder of IKON Capital Group, LLC. I have read through this report with complete astonishment. How could a perturbed and twisted mind use its spear time to hurt a successful business?
Recently, one of my partners pointed out that there were some complaints about our company online. I read the reports posted and was blown away.
I then decided that it was time to STOP all of the lies. I did some research and hired an internet investigator to track down the person or group responsible for all these fallacies.
All of the reports against our company have all been filed by one single individual. This persons intent is only to harm companies that are performing well.
I personally contacted the Illinois Attorney General office and the FBI Fraud Consumers Line. I asked them if there were any complaints or related matter against our company and the FBIs answer was to disregard and that the people posting the lies were most likely is scam-artists.
Furthermore, a few days after the report was filed, I received a phone call from a TEAM VIP Arbitration. They said they can remove all the complaints about the business for a small fee of about $8,000.00.
Below is the website information:
Here's how it works. We have contracted with private arbitrators who have extensive experience, including experienced judges. You submit a written arbitration statement identifying the false statements in the report, or explaining that the report was posted by a competitor pretending to be a customer. You are also given the opportunity to support your position with documentary evidence and/or sworn affidavits. There is a filing fee of $2,000 to pay for the arbitrators time
and for administration of the program. The author of the report is then given the opportunity respond and you are given the opportunity to reply.
Our company was under attack with 4 different negative reports. That means we need to pay up to $8,000; to clear something that are COMPLETE LIES.
SO THE Rip off REPORT ITSELF BECOME A Rep off.
My name is Ivan Diaz and all these reports are complete lies. If you are the person or company behinds these lies DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME (312) 235-6600.
-----------------------------
RIPOFF REPORTS RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE REBUTTAL .. whoever called this guy was NOT from Ripoff Report .. every day SEO companies are making calls like they are from Ripoff Report Ripoff Report does not make calls about our Arbitration Program.
First, Ripoff Report strongly believes in the First Amendment, free speech, even when that speech is less than flattering, .. even when its about us. We understand that people who have complaints written about them are upset and want to place blame somewhere, especially if they feel the content of the Reports are false.
We also understand that individuals want to blame our website rather than strictly placing blame on the person who wrote the Reports in the first place. Using the same method that we provide to all of our users, FREE OF CHARGE, we would like to set the record straight as to the comments posted about our website through this Rebuttal.
Every user of our website has the opportunity to tell their side of the story, for free, just as we will do here. To that extent, we would also like to point out that we certainly try to encourage users to set the record straight and tell their side of the story by using the free methods available to them before they consider other Ripoff Report programs (such as our VIP Arbitration Program or the Corporate Advocacy Program) or alterative avenues (such as filing a lawsuit against the Author of the report) that cost money.
Second, it is important for all of our users to know that Ripoff Report does not have individuals calling out to consumers on behalf of our Arbitration Department. If you receive a call from anyone claiming to be with the Ripoff Report Arbitration Department please get as much information as you can from the individual and be sure to let us know about it by e-mailing our Arbitration Department at Arbitration@ripoffreport.com.
We are aware that there are companies out there, who may be in the business of selling SEO or other services, who will try to hook you by saying they are with us, or making it sound like they might work with us, when they really arent. They may even go so far as to advise you that they can remove reports from our website which is not the truth. We have a long standing uniform policy for NOT removing reports and anyone telling you that they can is not telling you the truth. If they can tell you they can remove our listing from page one to page 3 on search engines, .. if they can, it does not last long. Read about the new Digital Extortion here.
Again, if you ever receive a call from someone advising you they are with us, send us an e-mail to confirm the situation. General inquires questions can be sent to Support@ripoffreport.com.
Third, the Author of this report is correct in that we do offer an Arbitration Program. Ripoff Reports VIP Arbitration Program is not free because we have to pay the arbitrators and staff for the administration of the Program. Because our arbitrators and staff do not work for free, we cannot offer the program for free. To understand the full context of our Arbitration program, we invite you to review all of the applicable information, including the Program Rules, by visiting our arbitration webpage at http://www.ripoffreport.com/Arbitration.aspx.
We thank you for taking the time to read this Rebuttal and allowing us to set the record straight.
