I was just another victim of Hardgrave and associates they promised me that they could help me fix my credit in about 6months. A few weeks after I signed up for the credit repair program I started getting some paper work form the credit bureau, but all it was were copies of my credit report I contacted them and they said that that was just part of the steps in getting my credit fix. Now six months later I tried contacting them and the number was disconnected and the web site was take off the internet. It was a complete disappointment I was counting on them to help me so that I could finally perches a new home for my kids and myself. I regret the day that I hard there advertisement on the radio I could have used that money to finish paying off my school but instead I was conned. Its said how we live in a country that prays on the weak . And for all of those how used this company I feel your pain.

They were shut down by the FTC.

Complaints should be addressed to the FTC prosecuting attorney.
They were shut down by the FTC for alleged violations of several laws: THE CREDIT REPAIR ORGANIZATIONS ACT, THE TELEMARKETING SALES RULE, and SECTION 5 OF THE FTC ACT. Civil Action No. 3:08-CV-1001-J-34JRK. FTC File No. 082 3007.

On October 23, 2008 the District Court ordered all assets and records of LATRESE & KEVIN ENTERPRISES INC.(DBA Hargrave & Associates Financial Solutions) into temporary receivership with Lewis B. Freeman appointed as temporary receiver for the court. There was a preliminary hearing scheduled for November 3, 2008, but the FTC has not yet posted the results of that hearing on the FTC website.

Any client of this outfit should read the complaint and the temporary restraining order at the FTC.gov website:
