This company is a true ripe off. They give you all these promises for the "excellent" service they suppose to provide, sends over contracts and Paypal bills and receipts. So they look real legit from the outside but cannot be trusted. They have been giving us the run around for almost 2 weeks. The sale rep Nick only answers when we call from an unknown number and once he realizes who we are he hangs up the phone. Be very aware of this company, they advertise on craigslist with promises of fast results. It appears that they work out of California although the contract says Texas.
We paid a fee of $150 for inquiry removal and then sent had us sent $60 via western union for a line of credit which they promised to overnight. All the business numbers goes to a voice mail and no one calls back or email back. We have been unable to reach anyone who"works" for this company. And needless to say I have not seen any work towards my credit nor the line the credit that was promised. We have now flagged all their craigslist postings but just be on the look out for an ad that promises A1 credit in 2-3 weeks and help with grants. This was a very unfortunate lesson learned on our behalf please be careful and stay clear of Barry Pope and Associates and BPA funding.

Martin Pelmore is now operating as Delbert Nelson and he is still taking upfront fees by moneygram and providing no services ,

I had the same experience with Nick Walker, who maybe Martin Pelmore. I ordered a package through Nick Walkers associate Lavel Buckholtz. I made my payment through Google Wallet. NOW, I believe..to a point, that Lavel is an innocent in this. And I think Nick took advantage of Lavels sincerity and good nature. Now, I just wrote a review on these guys and I come off rather harsh. I am not being double minded, I'm just stating the facts.
Anyways, long story short, I "run" a Shelf Corp, CPN, Lending and Investing company. We are always looking for good and legit products to add. I heard of "buying" credit cards, so this wasn't a new thing to me. I turned down an offer last year because of the backend fees. So when I was told by Nick and Lavel that they would create a CPN and get me to large Visa Black Cards, I was ok with it seeing I've heard of these programs. So, I made a $850 down payment through Google Wallet to Lavel. My paperwork was turned in and I was told everything was started on June 6, 2015. Ok, after a week Lavel went on vacation to Fiji, and could not be bothered. Nick said that Lavel never paid for my package. I asked if my package was started, or in process. Nick said yes at first and then got jumpy and hung up. Since that date, Nick has avoided my calls, he will not answer them or the emails or texts that I sent. When I DO reach Nick and he realizes it's me, he hangs up.
Nick Walker, Barry Pope, Barry Pope Associates LLC, Martin Pelmore, Seth Green...they are all theives and liars. And, since I have not received my refund from Lavel yet, or ANY resonable communication, I sadly have to lump him in with them.
Avoid these liars at all cost. They sound good. They will press you for more business. They will produce nothing. After all, what kind of professional business man uses Google voice? None. Only scam artist, low-life dirt bags who don't have an honest decent bone in their body's. That's these people here. Hopefully I'm wrong about Lavel. And if I am, I will follow up. If not, this will remain as is.
If I can help you, please, again, contact me. Thank you! (((REDACTED)))
