I received a check for the full amount of my refund today - hand delivered with his apologies by Mr. Henry (Hank) Johnson, President of BHA. I have a feeling that Ms. Christine Fischer is no longer with BHA...good riddance. Mr. Johnson was very nice, and very apologetic. I'm happy now that I have my money back. Not to say that Bernard Haldane is completely a fraud - but just be very clear about what you are paying for. Ask alot of questions and get answers in writing. For the most part, you can find the same advice on the Internet. I am very glad to close the door on this chapter of my life. Oh, and I found a great job...on my own.

October 4, 2001 I received a phone call from the V.P. of Client Services, Neil Levitt. He told me that Hank Johnson, Pres. of BHA will be refunding my money. He asked if he could sit down with me in the next week and discuss the issues because, as he said "We take this very seriously". I recently email Mr. Levitt to find out when I could expect the refund and he responded that it could take 30-45 days. He indicated in his email "Things are a bit scattered right now, and have been for the last few weeks." Gee, I wonder why? My reply email told him that when he can hand me a full refund check, I will be glad to share my thoughts with him. We'll see how quickly the refund is processed. I found it interesting, and fortunately very useful, that another unhappy client had filed a complaint in early August about the same V.P. and office in San Diego. I'm sure that aided me in getting my letter noticed. This incident has taught me that if I am not satisfied with services of any company, specially when the promised services were used to solicit my business and money, to not keep quiet but to make my dissatisfaction known and allow the business to either make good on their promises or refund my money.

They filed the following rebuttal to the above Rip-Off Report:
Their email: [email protected]
Their name: Adolph
Their relationship to the company: Consumer Suggestion
Rebuttal:
There should be a special place in hell for businesses and individuals who, as B.H.Associates continues to do, take advantage of people:
[1]Who are somewhat vulnerable due to a stressful, urgent situation and
[2] Who can least afford to pi$ away money on a scam involving false hope.
I notice that B.H. Associates is now advertising in my hometown newspaper, having apparently opened a franchise locally. Reading the multiple posts here and then reading their ad, the very wording in their ad, for starters, is bull$hit.
I can only hope that this forum is read by as many of their prospective victims...err, sorry,I mean 'clients' as possible.
It's unfortunate that an inquiries with search engines on B.H. Associates yield a blitz of bullcrap put up by B.H.A. making the references to negative information difficuly to sort out. The badbusinessreport and its critique of B.H.A., fortunately, can be found with a lenghty search using Hot Bot.
I can hope the locals here somehow stumble upon the truth here at the badbusinessbureau before being sucked dry by B.H.A. Regretfully, our local economy (based on the R.V. industry) is in the toilet making it prime territory for the likes of B.H.A. and their scam.
