Chesapeake Consulting Group

This company was recommended to me by someone who was helping me get a mortgage. He told me he did not believe in credit repair companies, but that he'd be contacted by these people and they seemed to be getting good results. They were running a special for $599 for 60 days (to be paid at the END of the 60 days), so I figured it was worth a shot. I wouldn't have to pay unless I got results. From the beginning, it was bad. They required a credit card, and I explained I did not have one. Due to my bad credit, I could not get a credit card, I only had a pre-paid card. They agreed to accept my alternate form of payment, which I gave them. A week later, I was contacted relentlessly asking for a credit card, and told they couldn't begin until they got one. When I explained they already had my pre-paid card, they said that wouldn't work, when a manager had already said it would. This went back and forth for nearly a week, until they finally took it. I then found out my service date was being started from the original contact date, so they'd wasted an entire week going back and forth with me about the credit card. From there, I was told they'd be sending out letters and Id receive copies in the mail. A month later, nothing had come. I emailed asking for an update. I was told "there was no update yet". I was given a log in to the back end of the site that I could not log into. I called back and they helped me log in, but it said "no update" on the site as well. At then end of the sixty days, still nothing had came in the mail, but I received an email saying my card would now be charged the $599 and I was responsible for the next payment as well. I immediately contacted them saying Id received nothing, and asked nicely to be shown what was done for my $599. They ignored my email, and then shoved me off onto another person. NO ONE was able to tell me what was done for my money. But the emails kept coming demanding payment. Aggravated, I contact my mortgage broker and explained what was going on. I told him I was very frustrated and felt Id been scammed. He called them and explained all I wanted was to see what work was done for my money. Still I got nothing but emails demanding money. I sent two more emails, explaining to the manager that I had no problem paying, but I just WANTED TO KNOW WHAT THEY'D DONE. I never received any reply, or any results to my credit. His only reply was ignorant, saying if I didnt pay they'd take me to court. Over 6 months later I get a phone call from their billing department saying "this is a courtesy call,'' and that if I don't pay them, they're going to hire an attorney and put a wage garnishment against me. As mad as I was, I told them all I wanted was to know what was done and Id happily pay. I said it OVER and OVER again. He said quote "if i bring the money to the office, they'd spend an hour and show me what work was done afterwards." I replied that I refused to drive 3 hours if they couldnt even give me a simple response telling me what was done on the phone. I asked repeatedly what was done. His only response was, Ill tell you once you bring us the money. Im not wasting another minute until we get it. UNBELIEVABLE! These people are the biggest scam in the WORLD. YOU WILL NOT SEE A SINGLE RESULT FOR YOUR ORIGINAL INVESTMENT. Theres a REASON these companies are not ALLOWED to charge until AFTER they perform the work- BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY SCAMS. AND THIS PLACE HAS FOUND A WAY AROUND THAT. DO NOTHING, then CHARGE THE PERSON WHEN THE 60 DAYS IS UP! DO NOT give these people your credit card, your money, or waste your time. From my research, the only people that have seen results had to pay for a year or two worth of work. I have my MBA and own my own company- and Id never charge for services until I could show what work was done for the money. I had NO problem paying these people if they simply show me what they did, and they COULD NOT AND WOULD NOT! STAY AWAY!
