SCAM: "a dishonest way to make money by deceiving people"
WARNING! Owner of "Colleagues in Law" Devin Benter is still operating under a new assumed name "CORE Advisory Group Svcs, LLC" Report this to the Authorities, do this before he change company names again and SCAM other people!
If you feel you have been a victim of a loan modification scam, please follow these steps in order to get your money-back. Unfortunately this process will require your undivided attention and dedication in order to complete these steps, which can take up more than an hour of your time, but lets be honest here, is spending a few hours to get back thousands of dollars of your hard earned money not worth your commitment? Of course it is.
Although this method isn't 100% guaranteed that you will get your money-back. There will be uncontrollable events, such as the company you are trying to get your money-back has either, shutdown, disappeared, changed their company name and location which will make it more difficult for you to file your complaints against, or the company just don't have the funds to pay you back. But what I can tell you is that it will definitely draw RED FLAGS to the authorities and alert them about any unethical activities going on and allow them to see who is taking advantage of people by taking their money without providing the services/product as promised, which can also trigger an internal investigation to go after the company or individual(s) that committed the scam and recover the damages caused to you and your family. So don't give up or get discourage and fight for what is rightfully yours.
Before you begin drafting your complaints against a company or an individual(s), keep in mind that some of these regulatory agencies only allow up to 2000 - 4000 words, so you want to minimize the unnecessary rant about how bad you hate them or information that isn't relevant to what you are seeking and you want to just bullet point the important parts and the reason why you are complaining and the goals you want them to achieve for you, like refund your money.
Now let's start with Step One: "Key Information About the Company"
Provide the Full Name of the Company/Corporation (LLC, S-Corp etc...) in this example let's say you are filing a complaint against an existing company and its' owners. Be sure you are listing all entities involved.
Note: If you are a former "Colleagues In Law" customer, be sure to include "CORE Advisory Group Svcs, LLC", and "Devin Benter" as the same owner for both entities and state in your complaint that it's the same operation just a different name.
If you signed up for services with CORE Advisory Group prior to March 31st, 2016 then most likely you're contracted with "CORE Advisory Group, LLC" however, if the services you have paid for exceeded beyond March 31st, 2016, your complaint should address both entities involved which is CORE Advisory Group Svcs, LLC & CORE Advisory Group, LLC (only difference is new LLC ownership but same people behind it.)
Devin Benter thought he could avoid any responsibilities with the original CORE Advisory Group, LLC by just switching to another LLC by adding "SVCS" at the end and if anything happens, like complaints, lawsuits, client files being denied for a loan modification or even worst case, clients ended up losing their home, he would be excluded from the responsibilities post March 31st, 2016 which is after my separation with the company. So by him assuming that, he would divert any fault/wrongdoings and have it directed towards me Mike Luong for CORE Advisory Group, LLC.
Unfortunately for him, it doesn't work that way. You can't expect just by changing, officers, members or even LLCs names would eliminate you from any prior obligations and responsibilities. As a business owner it is your fiduciary duty to inform all clients of any changes to the LLC and if you decide to continue working on prior cases post the LLC changes, and still continue collecting and receiving their monies than yes you are fully responsible for any ramification that occurs thereafter. Nice try.
So remember to list all parties/entities involved, including current physical address which in this case, CORE Advisory Group Svcs, LLC, is located at 2125 E. Katella Ave. Suite 330, Anaheim, CA. 92806. (By the way, Devin continues to fail by not updating his existing clients of the new change of address location.).
As a reminder, both addresses on their website www.coreadvisorysvcs.org 519 S. Orem, Orem, UT. 84058 and 4590 MacArthur Blvd, #500-26, Newport Beach, CA. 92660 are just mail drops (virtual mailboxes) and not an actual physical office location.
Step Two: "What to Include in the Complaints"
Any supporting documents if you still have it, such as "Mail Advertisement", "Service Agreement" etc... Also some Key points you want to address are as follows;
- The date you made initial contact with this company?
- How did you hear about them? (Mail, Radio, TV etc...),
- What did the advertisement say that enticed you to contact them? (ex: low interest rate, principle reduction, free car, etc...),
- What did the company promised you they can do and would do for you?
- How much was the total cost for their product/service?
- When did you pay for the product/service and how much total upfront?
- Explain why you are dissatisfied with the company/product/service.
- When did you start suspecting that there will be an issue?
- Did you contact the company first and try to resolve the issue on your own? (if you suspect that they are operating illegally, skip this one.)
- What kind of outcome do you want to see happening?
- Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
- Federal Trade Commission
- Attorney General's Office (File with your state)
- Department of Consumer Affairs CalBRE (to report licensed/non-licensed real estate agents)
- Better Business Bureau
- Business Consumer Alliance
- Rip Off Report
- GetOutofDebt.org
- Devin's Lavish Wedding
