Rickey Benns - Citywide Financial Group
Beware of rickey benns/citywide financial group! Bad business!

SELLING or BUYING a home? If your seller or buyer is Rickey Benns/Citywide Financial Group, WAIT!!! Read my story first!!! In January, I contacted Rickey Benns regarding a house he had on the market. He provided the code for me to view the property.instantly, I fell in love with it. Rickey and I scheduled a meeting where he provided such information as the cost of the house, information regarding the leasing with the option to purchase, as well as the total deposit, when the total deposit was due, the monthly lease amount and more. I left our meeting very excited about becoming a homeowner and also thought Rickey was fair and honest.

So, I decided to lease this house with the option to purchase. I paid Rickey part of the hefty deposit and finalized the leasing portion of the deal.in February, I moved in. From February to November, I paid Rickey on time EVERY MONTH.in Dec, I paid the balance of the deposit and officially became a homeowner. Once again, everything was finalized with Rickey. From this point, I paid Rickey a little bit more than what was required and I paid on time.in January, I lost my job and wondered, HOW IN THE HELL WILL I PAY THIS HOUSE NOTE.in February, I paid the house note for February and March, just to buy me some time until I receive a paycheck from the new job. Later, I paid the house note for April. Keep in mind, i never missed a payment, never was late and continued to pay a little bit more. On April 4, I came home tired and ready for a nap. My doorbell rang and this guy gives me a business card and tells me to call the person on the card. I asked him why, he told me it was regarding a foreclosure. I said yeah, right. Not 20 minutes later another guy rang my doorbell. He told me that he was a broker and my house had been foreclosed. WOW!!! It appears that Rickey continued to take my money but did not pay the notes on the house. Also, the people who sold Rickey the house do not know that the foreclosure is in their name. Immediately, I contacted Rickey and guess what. HE DIDNT RETURN MY CALL.

I continued to call and send emails with no response. After doing some researching, I found out that Mr. Rickey Benns is a SEX OFFENDER and because he was registered, I was able to obtain his address from the internet. Since he did not contact me, I went to see him several times but was unsuccessful. He finally decided to come see me because he thought that I had sent him anonymous emails about him being a sex offender. No, that wasnt me. He told me that I will not lose my house and he would handle everything. He also agreed to give me my money back. I never received any money from Rickey nor has he contacted me. On May 8, I had to attend a hearing regarding the foreclosure. I was later given 5 days to move. Currently, I am separated from my animals.
