Benchmark Financial Groups, LLC Marcus Davin Benchmark Financial Groups, LLC will steal your deposit Aliso Viejo, California
We entered into a lease agreement with
Benchmark Financial Groups, LLC, located at 65 Enterprise Aliso Viejo, CA 92656
on 11/12/2009, with the clear understanding the lease had to be completed by no
later than 11/24/2009, as we were opening a new store and had to have the lease
approved and start paying our vendors by the first of December.
"I have Emails from the president,
Marcus Davin, stating they can approve in less than 24 hours and Emails from
the account rep stating they would be able to complete the lease within our
stated time frames.
"Benchmark asked for a copy of a check
(not the actual check) made out to Benchmark for the 1st and last payment for
$4,804.32. When I faxed them a copy, they immediately took the funds out of our
checking account. They never had authorization from us to do this, nor did they
state anywhere they were taking the funds on a lease that had not yet been
approved.
"Unfortunately we did not find this out
until about a week after they took the funds and at that time we had no
recourse with the bank. Since we wanted the lease we continued to deal with
Benchmark.
"At no time did we change any of the
terms of the deal.
"We continually asked the status of the
approval and were assured it would close before the 24th. On the 24th I called
and emailed several times to find out if the lease was approved and I did not
get any response from the company. I was then forced to pay our vendors so we
could make our scheduled opening.
