Scam

First they promise you that you will easily get a loan and that you are a great candidate. Then they ask for their $299 , you can get a refund within 3 days if you wish to cancel, they are smart enough to schedule you at least 4 business days after you pay ( so you cant get a refund) , to tell you that your situation requires more action and how they can help you fix your credit. They can offer you all kinds of help ( business plan, fix your credit ) and before you know it you lost out on at least $1500 and there is nothing! This company is a mess and yet to hear a positive review from someone that does not live in their area of business!

Horrible Scam preying on potential business owners-invest your own money into your business instead of giving it to them.

I do not understand why this company is still up and running and would like to gather consumers together to stop this scam. I was contacted by this company 3 months ago and like everyone else was asked to pay a fee of $255 in order to secure me a small business line of credit and build my business credit while repairing my personal credit (to do this, I was asked to pay another $1200 which I did).

I paid all the fees asked in full using the last of my savings as a single mother to build a better future for my kids, or so I thought. So far, I have been spoken to rudely, ignored, neglected, transferred within the company to lines that no one answers or call back. Sent numerous emails with no responses. I have not once been rude, I've only asked for proof of work that has been completed and once I started asking questions, I was avoided like the plague.

Right now, I am broke, separated from my kids and seeking employment since my business isn't established. I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau while still trying to contact the company begging for them to speak with me and was hung up on by Jeff today. I don't know how this business is still legally functioning as it doesn't provide services to the public, it only takes their money. Civil or legal suit?

Public Awareness? I will see which avenue to take as I have asked for a refund at this time with no response.

DO NOT GIVE THEM A DIME!

Luckily, I was only ripped off for the initial $240 "application" fee. Then I was told my credit needed to be improved and Justin T. said I would need to pay another $1,000 (RED FLAG) to bring my credit score up and process the loan. When I asked for credentials, Justin T. became very defensive (RED FLAG). Now he continues to email me asking if I am still interested and says he is going to close my file if I do not respond. I can't believe people get away with this kind of thievery. I am currently looking for a legitimate company to assist me with a business loan.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

I am starting a small business and was looking to obtain a small business loan. I was contacted by Curtis Corrales and was informed of the process.

I ran my "free credit check" using their mandatory link "sprout your score". After receiving my credit score, I was told that I was approved for a $10,000.00 loan and the interest would be from 3% to 7%.. The fee for obtaining this loan was $250.00. I asked Curtis that if the loan did not go through, would I be able to get a refund of the $250.00.

At this time, Curtis told me that the loan was already approved and that someone would be contacting me and finalizing the terms and repayment options. I did receive a call from "Mike" the underwriter at the scheduled time. Mike informed me that there was no way I was going to be able to obtain a loan due to my credit. He told me that he was going to get me credit cards with a 0% interest rate for 18 months and in return, his company would place an 8% charge on each card as soon as the card was activated.

I voiced my concern that I was told the loan was already approved and he stated that since he could still get me the money requested, they still satisfied the agreement. Since then (1 week ago) I have tried repeatedly to get in contact with the company, Curtis, Mike and Sprout Your Score as there is no way to cancel the "trial" membership online. I have sent numerous emails, left phone messages and to this day, have not been able to talk to one live person from either company.

No returned calls or emails. I was lied to and victimized financially by this company.

Corporate Business Lending IS A SCAM!!!

I called this company because I am a start up company and needed lending. My credit score took a hit when i started using my personal credit cards to fund my business, so I was skeptical that I would be approved for a loan. I spoke to a nice young man Curtis C. who promised me I would get loan even with poor credit. He told me there was one time fee for the loan and I would meet with the "underwriter" on Thursday. All of these things lead you to believe that this company will loan you the money. I met with the "underwriter", who was more like a mob boss. He was rude and hung up in my face, because I told him I was disappointed that he was not really an underwriter funding a loan. He was simply gathering information for the lenders, but that is not how Curtis C. Then I leave a message that I am upset they scammed me out of $250.00 for nothing and I get a semi rude email from James who promises me he is firing the "underwriter" for hanging up on. Pretty sure he didn't fire that guy. Then I spend the next two weeks with email promises that never happen, no lenders contacting me nothing going on. I am now three weeks into it and I speak to James at 5:00 p.m on Thursday before a holiday weekend and he says,oh your credit score is to low I don't think I can get you any lending? I will call you Tuesday. Nothing on Tuesday, so I email Wednesday and demand a refund for being miss lead and then they send me this threatening email see below: First and foremost , we are legally registered and licensed where we are supposed to be, and that would not be possible if our business model was illegal. You are neither a lawyer or a business law expert, so I'm not sure what prompts you to believe that the State of Utah and our corporate attorneys would know less than you do about scam business models. If you are able to calmly and respectfully speak to us, you're more than welcome to contact us back, or not, up to you. Regardless, any continued contact of this nature will be deemed harassment. Leticia very clearly emailed you earlier today to let you what was going on so you aren't left in the dark. For just in case you didn't get that email for some reason here it is. James is not in the office he had an heartbreaking emergency so he hasn't been in to work. "James will return tomorrow and get things resolved with you. You have been told numerous times that CBL is working on your file. You didn't pay CBL for a loan you paid for a Funding Assessment. Which CBL completed. We have been working to get you funding. We have several pre-approvals now without completing the red flags." That was what should've been sent to you already. However, now I'm going to recommend to James that he send you a settlement agreement once you sign it then return it you will be issued a full refund. James will call you when he gets in tomorrow. Have a great evening! Don't ever use this company- call the SBA or some other lender but never fall for these scams. Something else has to be better than these people.

I have the same experience as the rest of you & if I ever find the people responsible I will get my money back in flesh if I have to, Im out $742

Guest

Report your complaints to Utah Attorney General office !!

As that is the location they contacted me, but better yet I'm

taking it to the US Attorney General office so they get shut down

from the scam they are.

Guest

Word for word.... My experience also. These people should be hung out to dry.

Guest

Sounds like I got scammed, I gave them my debit card # for their 255. Now they are asking me for a copy of my credit r.

I rather lose this amount of money, and avoid headaches, more money, and wasted time. I'm done with these sobs.

Guest

Thank you,I am so glad that I found your input.I was about to send these people my hard earned money.

Guest

And everything I have on them will be turned into local sheriffs office and local FBI office.

Guest

I'm in Colorado, and having difficulty contacting James, Chris, the whole bunch at CBL, I'm out $2,250.00, a business plan in hand that doesn't go to the fax or email addresses they provided?!?!, guess I got scammed, only thing is, I'm prior military and have special people in the services I can contact in finding "anyone ", if I got scammed - shame on me, and if so, I'll find them, skin them, and see to it they disappear from sight.

Mad in Colorado.

Guest

Biggest scam out there. They apparently have a 3 day cancellation cause that you are not even made aware of but it takes them over a week to even contact you once you are charged and then the scam begins....

they do not only under deliver...

they promise and DO NOT DELIVER.... 100% scam...

Guest

How very familiar this story is! Right down to the sob story about James' uncle having a stroke and how he had been in the ER all night......

They took $250 to start and then $500 to clean up my credit then when that was done they still couldn't put me in front of lenders because my credit still had a 'red flag' which would just take another $500 to remove..... Sound familiar?

The only person I'm mad at is me.

Guest

Wow thank you so very much. They have been calling me,i was just calling them back to get a loan.

I will not bother now,my business & my time is very important. Once again thank you,sorry that happened God bless your business

Corporate Business Lending is a JOKE!!!

Do not use this company, they are a Joke, Big Scam. I can't even get them respond anymore after multiple emails and phone calls. I had to pay up front fees and Never got funded. I recently used a different company out of Nevada, they are quick and get the job done. I think Corporate business lending are a couple kids working out of their parents basement. VERY Unprofessional. What a JOKE! If there were legal actions I could take I would go at them for my time and money wasted. But then i'm wasting more time on them.. I have better things to do like run my business.

What company did you go with??

Guest

Seeking a small business loan too. Justin T has been calling me attempting to get a sale.

I informed him that something did not feel right and I would think about it.

Now, someone else is emailing me about my file. Sounds like a hard sale instead of a lender....

Guest

Can you tell me which company you used so I can use them too?

Guest

What company did you use out of Nevada?

Corporate Business Lending is a Scam!!!! Don't use them!!

As with some of the other reviews on this company, this place is a scam. I started the process in March and now its mid May.

In the beginning, they did a application and came back and made me apply for a DUNS number and construct a business plan which I am sure went no where. Some guy Ryan from Sprout Financial called me yesterday, but had no advice. I am guessing they work together. I have dealt with Kirk Dopp, Justin T., Bryce C., James and Curtis C.

I should have realize something when they don't use their last names.

There are lots of complaints against this company going back to last year. Don't know why they are not closed down.

I wish all the businesses scammed by this company could get together and shut CBS down. They used the exact same sales tactics on us as a BBB complaint describes.

I could have written it myself, as it is the exact same story: This is our formal complaint about the dishonorable, deceitful, and fraudulent practices of CBS. We are a small business that they took advantage of. Like a previous complaint stated” We were conned into meeting with CBS consultants in a very well orchestrated and fraudulent sequence of events.” I cannot stress enough how manipulative & pushy CBS is. They will study every word that comes out of your mouth to use it against you & PREY ON YOUR SENSIBILITIES.

These people used their “expertise” to mess with our head, our business, & make us believe we absolutely needed them or else our business was going to fail.

The analyst, the master manipulator.... Essentially BEWARE!!!

A SCAM FOR SURE!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Everything that I read so far has been absolutely true. Same Exact Situation. I paid seemimg the most so far of all those who got ripped off. I paid $2,240 and have Zero to show for it except a cut and paste business plan, a free DUNS # and a copy of three credit dispute forms. LOL... James had the same tragety when I started the process, an excuse used because I had couldn't get a response from thier team. Its sad. they are hiding behind, the "We are not a lending Institution" just a company that reviews and presents possible options. I have a 679 credit score and was told that I needed One more point (680) and then they could submit I also have a very very solid start up business plan with supporting contracts. Its been over a month have had no conversations or follow-ups about potencial funding options.. Please anyone reading this...DONOT USE THIS COMPANY IT IS TRUELY A SCAM SET UP TO take advantage of those of us that are in real business......Very Frustrating and sad. I dont have the Cash to sue for my money back however I hope at somepoint some one reads this and is able to folllow through with some type of legal action. It will eventully catch up to them them!

Corporate Business Lending Scam

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I had good credit to begin with but wanted to start a business. No bank was willing to give me enough $ to purchase equipment and for several months operating expenses despite a solid business plan and letters of intent from customers. Kurt and Kirk both said they would get me the $ needed and that they do this all the time with clients that have credit scores in the high fives/low sixes not mine in the low sevens. I paid them for several things of which they provided a mediocre website that they never updated and everything else remains uncompleted many months later. Bryce had me apply to five different business cards and my credit took a digger. He has since not returned any but one call over the last 3 months and only one email in same time. They are pieces of trash literally and I do not ordinarily speak this way. They took what has amounted to about 2k and that has been about the gist of it. STAY AWAY FROM PROMISES THAT CAN NOT BE PUT ON PAPER !
