Subject: ClearOne Debt Relief - BEWARE!

Fri Sep 11, 2009 1:04 am

DO NOT do business with ClearOne Debt Relief! These people are a SCAM. They were previously doing business under the name of Start Positive. They took a total of $1250 from my sister with the promise of giving her a loan modification. They stalled her for months and gave her one lie after another. They finally told her they were not able to give her the modification but refused to refund her money because it had been more than 30 days. My sister FINALLY got wise and reported them to several authorities in the state of Wisconsin. We found out that they were not even licensed to do business. Contact 6 TV in the Milwaukee area is in the process of putting a story together about them. There was also a front page article about this company in the local newspaper in Burlington, Wisconsin. After they realized they were busted, they shut down and are now operating under the name of Clear One Debt or Clear One Debt Relief. They are not too bright because they are using the same phone number as when they were Start Positive. Steer clear of these people! My sister is still fighting to get her money back. They told her they would give her a refund but it has not happened. Checking the Better Business Bureau is not sufficient. They only report when there is a complaint about a business. Being that they are fairly new (under a different name) there are usually no complaints. Another clue is if the business has not been around for a long time. There are SO MANY fraudulent companies out there right now offering debt relief or real estate loan modifications. Only do business with an established bank or a well known financial institution. We are trying to get these people prosecuted but it will not be easy. They make themselves sound very legitimate but do not fall into their trap!

Hi Ciney,

Thanks for providing this information. This will make all of us conscious about seeking help from different companies regarding our debt problems. Whatever happened with your sister is too unfortunate, but I would appreciate the efforts that you put in to know the reality. We will definitely benefit from this and remember to cross check the legitimacy of a company before working with them. I hope your sister gets back her money soon.

Subject: Buyer Beware

Do not believe the hype! Clear one debt was formally known as start positive mortgage company. They are a fraudulent company and take people's money. You can read several articles about them if you google it. There are lawsuits going on Wisconsin, Tennessee and I believe even Florida. These people are everywhere. I don't know if it is just the mortgage aspect of it that is fraudulent but I wouldn't trust it. There isn't a lot of information on them at BBC because they fairly new. They are not accredited by the BBC --BUYER BEWARE!!! I personally know people who have fallen for their antics. I tried to include some of the links to websites confirming what I am saying but this website wouldn't allow it. I guess they have to be neutral or something. I'm sorry I don't have more substantial evidence but DO NOT TAKE THE CHANCE!!!
