I sent $6,895 as a deposit for $75,000 of equipment financing for a hotel I own. This was a straightforward transaction. I spoke at length with John Grant and Lenny Freeman. As requested, I sent detailed invoices via FedEx. The company never called me back or sent lease documents, as promised. After three months of speaking with John Grant and Lenny Freeman, I left six detailed phone messages for Judy DiVincenzo (President) requesting a return of my deposit. She never responded to a single message. I then sent a certified letter to Ms. DiVincenzo demanding a return of my deposit. She never responded. After six months from the time of my deposit, I hired an attorney and contacted the State Attorney. Finally, Ms. DiVincenzo sent me back $6,500 and kept a $395 fee for doing absolutely nothing.
This company claims to have financed some big institutions and corporations. Beware. Ms. DiVincenzo is a dishonest person who will not respond to your communications once she has your money in her pocket.By the way, I had AFG (American Financial Group) finance the deal in one week after I had given up on GCR. I hope that no one else has to endure the dishonesty and frustration that I experienced from GCR and Ms. DiVincenzo.
