On September 7, Mr. Brandon Relkoff was referred to me by Mr. Don Janke, an internet business broker, who indicated that Mr. Relkoff could obtain a loan for me. Mr. Relkoff sent me the necessary paperwork for obtaining a loan.
Between October 2 and February 12, I called and emailed Mr. Relkoff regularly. I was the entire time - led to believe that a loan was being obtained for me. The loan was to be finalized on January 31.
Even a call to Jason Tuttle, Branch Manager for Equipoint in Washington, indicated that he (Mr. Tuttle) had periodically confirmed with Mr. Relkoff that all was going smoothly.
Finally, I was told on Saturday, February 8 that, on Monday, February 11, I would receive a call directly from the lenders to wrap up the details - and to sign the loan documents. No such call came.
Turns out, the entire time, Brandon Relkoff had been sending me fake documents.
On February 12, I sent complaint letters to the Federal Trade Commission, as well as to other consumer regulatory agencies.
I also sent the complaint letter to Equipoint Financial Network's head office in Loomis, California, addressed to Larry Wodarski, CEO; with a copy to Ronald E. Oliveira, President / Owner. I still anticipate a call-back from Diana Clegg, a company representative, who indicates that she's investigating the issue.
On March 7, when Jason Tuttle, Mr. Relkoff's manager, learned that I'd filed complaints with his name in it, he called me - and, started yelling. Brandon Relkoff then called in an attempt to smooth things over (attempting to be more rational than his boss) and attempted to "explain exactly why he hadn't been able to get me the loan".
Yes, I understand - but why the fake documents, the bogus signatures - and wasting 4 months of my time telling me that you WERE getting the loan?
