This company is a sham and full of scam artists.

Sounds like even if you never read the book you took one of the lessons to heart.Keep that form in your pocket to remind you of the time you almost got scammed!

Craigslist is where scams go to fester.

Hey Bp,I have a problem tenant who at first couldn't figure out how to mail it, so we tried giving him my bank account and depositing the rent at his convenience. That seemed to work for a little however he would seem...

., yet being treated as if we were scam artists.

Lending money is one of the oldest scams in the book, recent regulations have cleaned up much of that.Another alternative in lending with fewer issues would be commercial business lending, talk to some pawn brokers, rent-to-own stores locally owned and used car dealers, you can get high yields, secured with inventory, I'd say it's easier than RE lending, but you still have due diligence, lots of it. :)

Here in New Jersey we have Anti-Eviction laws - a Landlord can NOT refuse to renew a residential lease unless you have a really good reason, i.e., "non-payment of rent," "damage," etc. 

Long story short, I considered several TV stations that feature stories on scams, but I read a local paper, Newsday, that has a weekly column on money matters, in their Sunday "Money Section".

@Douglas ChristensenHenry Ford was a virulent anti Semite.

Now, right away, let me say to John D, please don't take any of my following comments the wrong way, because your story could very well be true and I'm honestly taking it as true, a 75 point gain in a short time frame is certainly POSSIBLE, so I'm not at all trying to challenge your truthfulness here, just wanted to make that clear.As far as these "credit repair services" go in real life, everything I've ever heard from a VALID AND RELIABLE SOURCE is that they're at best nearly useless and are only doing easy work anyone can do themselves for a large fee or much worse, that many are just total SCAMS!
