The Lee Arnold System of Real Estate Investing educates their clients on how to invest in real estate, while simultaneously lending them money to invest in that real estate. Lee Arnold further explained the processes of his company, "we will take anyone, not matter the background, income, credit score, and teach them how to invest in real estate. [We] lend them the money they need to buy and sell real estate for a profit with the hopes that they generate enough income and eventually come back to become a lender through our company to the new people coming into the fold." Their loans are funded by private investors who have IRA funds that they are looking to deploy.

CEO, John Cain, explained how leads are obtained for The Lee Arnold System of Real Estate Investing, "In a number of ways we acquire leads through people who are interested in real estate investing. People who are interested in getting private money capital, referrals, attending conventions, Internet advertising, and print advertising." Once a potential customer has expressed interest in their services they will be contacted so The Lee Arnold System of Real Estate Investing can further understand their needs. Mr. Arnold expressed, "if their interested in borrowing money we respond to them and we ask them about the deal that they want to get funded on. If they are responding to interest in attending a live event, we sign them up. We do not cold call. We only call those who express interest in our products and services.



CUSTOMER CARE & COMPLAINT RESOLUTION – THE LEE ARNOLD SYSTEM OF REAL ESTATE INVESTING

During the onsite interview, Mr. Arnold was asked to describe a situation where a client was not satisfied with the level of service they received. Mr. Arnold expressed a complaint that was also placed on Ripoff Report's website. One of their clients purchased a phone coaching program which costs $12,500, he additionally purchased a business setup entity LLC formation package which costs $6,000. Mr. Arnold further explained, "he called in saying he was unhappy and not satisfied with the level of service he was receiving and requested a refund. We called back asking if he would like a refund or if he would rather us send someone out to his home to work with him for three days, which is a $25,000 one-on-one mentor ship which we sent to him at no cost. We did it because we wanted to make this customer happy. While our mentor was out there he identified several deals, and he ended up buying one of them with the money we lent him. He fixed it up, sold, it, made a $40,000 profit, and still complained that we did not do a good job...in the nature of our business, bad press costs us a lot more than the individual customer themselves...it's not just a loss of that customer on that particular sale, it's a loss of future loans, future opportunities, that borrower becoming a lender through us--we take customer complaints very seriously." This is not a common complaint for Secured Investment Corp, and they will do whatever they can to ensure customer satisfaction.

When asked what type of changes they have made to honor their commitment to make things right with the consumer per the request of Ripoff Report, Mr. Arnold Stated, "but we certainly added fail safes to ensure that our clients had a better customer experience."

The Lee Arnold System of Real Estate Investing is proud to be a part of Ripoff Reports Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program, "to me it means the opportunity to actually be able to address customer complaints. My main interest in the efficacy program is it gives us the opportunity to handle, and help the customer without them just anonymously land basting us online for stuff we didn’t even know we did. So, it is a checkpoint to determine either the validity of the complaint, or give us the opportunity to resolve it before it has to be brought to the public’s attention. And we have very few of them, but the ones we do have we’d like the opportunity to fix whatever we did in the customer’s mind. So that’s, to me, what the efficacy program provides."

According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it hasbeenmore than 60 days.

If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist youproperly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to dealwith it,take the loss and reverse the charges.

Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!

DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!

Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.

And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.

Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the chargetruth.

If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was.Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the
