Eric Williamson - Beware - Credit Repair Ripoff! Promises to do credit restoration 14 day but no longer than 30 or will refund. Thirty business days Durham North Carolina
Please beware of Eric Williamson. He promises his services will be completed no more than 30 days or money back. After 45 days, as with other clients no longer return phone calls or emails. Spent a total of $500.
He's very good at giving you excuses before he cuts off all communication.
He believes since the amounts are so small at $300 up front, that people will not pursue. He is banking on consumers being too desperate and lazy to pursue any course of action.
Also beware since he not only has taken your money, made you lose time that you won't get back, he also now has your identification. (ssn, birthdate, etc)
If he will steal your money, he will steal your identity.
He preys on the folks that are in need, but please help me fight back. I am posting to every site where his ad is placed (craigslist, etc) Please do the same.
Also am filing civil suit. If enough of us band together, he can be
stopped.
By the way, I have since found a very reputable company for handle my credit restoration and things are working out fine. Don't be in such a hurry that it clouds your common sense. My lesson from this.

TAKE IT TWO STEPS FURTHER

After reading the same types of complaints, it makes me mad this guy is still out there preying on others.
Some of you have notified the Durham Police Department, this wont really help because the offense is less than $1000. He'd probably get a slap on the hand and spend a few nights in jail.
TAKE IT A FEW STEPS FURTHER!
It is a FEDERAL OFFENSE what this guy is doing. Here is a link to a similar scenario from the Federal Trade Commission website:
http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2008/09/lhcr.shtm
Also, he is conducting business in North Carolina. Notify the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigations. This is the North Carolina Department of Justice. Attorney Roy Coopers office number (919) 716-6000. The website is:

Want something else? If he is conducting business in North Carolina, he needs to report his earnings with the North Carolina Department of Revenue. Give the Tax Fraud department a call 1-800-232-4939, they will look into it. Of course I have the link for you!

PLEASE NOTE, user Lords Blessings and CREDIT GURU appear to be the same person. Check out the other reports on Eric and you will see what I mean.
If he has your social, I strongly advise for you to notify your credit bureaus to put you on Fraud Alert.
Sorry that you and others as what it appears are going through this. I worked in the mortgage business and came across individuals that offered this service. I would never refer someone that I would not use myself.
As for credit repair, this is a government website that might help and point you in the right direction.

As to Eric Williamson, if he has a business name, you can file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. This probably won't help any but at least it will show up if someone googles for his services.
THIS IS WORTH A SHOT THOUGH! Contact the mortgage company that referred him and ask to speak with the broker in charge and tell them what you ran into. If the mortgage company has not been alert about this, they will keep referring business and allowing their customers to get hurt.
Look to see if the mortgage company you are dealing with is allowed to do business in your state. You can normally find it by contacting the Commissioner of Banks.
If they are not on there, call the C.O.B immediately. They regulate all lenders that can do business in your state, and are VERY sensitive to PREDATORY practices. You might be able to tell them your scenario and the lender you have been working with, they may or may not be able to help, but it is worth a shot. If many people have complained about the mortgage company, they may audit the company or revoke their license.
I hope that the mortgage company you are using is not receiving kickbacks for sending business to Eric Williamson, this is illegal in the business.
ERIC WILLIAMSON, I will notify all my broker friends about you. Not once have you responded about the Durham Police Investigation.

If everyone would file their report with the durham police department we can get justice. I have started the process and they are now investigating. We need people to start stepping up and giving their statements so that he can be prosecuted as soon as possible thanks.
