My Name is Thomas, President of a former company called IBANC INVESTMENSTS and a second company called Chicago Commercial Capital and it was located in Chicago, IL. I/we would like to make a formal statement of charges of Fraud and mispresentation against Paula Kalohory & Paul at Scribes Unlimited, LLC. They have filed some false information on my past company and I wish to complain about how rude and very unprofessional services that they provide and offer to the community and world regarding their services that you see on their website: www.scribesunlimited.com They try to do buisness plan proposals for prospective business owners who need help and charge them $2,000 - $4,000 dollars upfront and promises to these owners that they will advise them on getting Commercial Financing and get approved by a lender with no money to invest in their own projects. This is misleading and the client doesn't even have the first thing ready to submit to a lender for financing. What they are doing is going around soliting lenders and brokers at the last minute of the clients expectation of an approved loan. Before a client needs to get financing, they really need to speak with a professional banker and/or broker that actually can help guide the client through the loan process that have communication with the banks, lenders and prepare the client for the type of documentation and other items needed such as down payment, closing costs and etc. With an understanding of a realistic closing time frame. She chooses to be the loan company with all the answers but lack the knowledge. If she can't get her way she makes it seem that Ibanc Investments and other loan consulting frims and bankers don't know what their doing and in reality she has MAD clients because nothings done and she then points the finger at the financing company and continues to lie to the company and make false statements and file untrue reports to what ever sources she goes through, if your the financing lender, please watch out, your name is on the file. Prospective clients, if you need advise and/or a business plan put together , please go to your banker first to get real advise and they may be able to share what type of things that would be needed and provide awareness of what a business plan should look like and the actual things that particular banks with be reviewing and looking for certain things about the business and what the banker will be noticing to help underwrite and approve your loan and provide expectation of what type of money the borrower will need to get togther. Don't go to Scribes Unlimited, LLC, you'll get the run around for months and will be out of money. They try to keep you happy by lying to you so they can take you around other lenders and waste more valuable time and keep your money. Also, Paula Kalahory at Scribes Unlimited, LLC likes to call and chat with past employees from other lenders including IBANC Investments and try to get information on employees who are NOT satisfied with their current/past employer with some people who have been fired at IBANC INVESTMENTS for not showing up for work, lying on scheduling, fired for stealing companies, money/property items, or fired for dishonest work. Their are a few employees names which will appear on the Ripp-Off Reporting that Paula Kalahory reported along with fired employees. So, don't trust Scribes Unlimited around your business, becasue if she's not happy, she'll find some people in your organization and cause a riot and try to report false information to the public viewers. Sincerely, Thomas Brooks Former Company 1: Chicago Commercial Capital Former Company 2: Ibanc Investments

Thomas Brooks has now vanished completely along with Ibanc, sources who were inside the company have informed us, and cannot be located anywhere. He may have gone back to Chicago, but who knows? In the 16 years he has been in "business" we have been told that there was never any sign, nor any proof whatsoever, that a deal had ever been closed by him. Thomas Brooks, Ibanc and Chicago Commercial Capital have disappeared again - and more than likely will show up in another city as another business as soon as the "broker fees" have been used up. Please be aware of this new information. Scribes Unlimited, LLC P.S. Seems we were right all along. Lesson learned - trust your instincts when something stinks.

The situation has been resolved and we thank IBanc for their efforts. All misunderstandings have been cleared up, and we regret they happened in the first place. We appreciate the professionalism and the honesty that was displayed to us, and we are convinced that IBanc has tried very hard to make things right. As much as we would like to remove the report entirely, and put this entire incident behind us, the rules of the website preclude this, which we will have to abide by.

I am the Regional Sales Manager for Ibanc Investment and I would like to be put on the record as to say how much more can a company do then fire the employee responsible for this act? Due to Mr. Kosmo's actions he has damaged the name of the company I work for as well the reputation of commercial lending itself. Often in lending you come upon customer complaints. At no time has my company tried to elude responsiblity for Mr. Kosmos actions. If the injured party has a complaint or would like to discuss said deals that Mr. Kosmos participated in we will glad do so. If you would like to contact me feel free to do so via email at [email protected] or by phone at 866-934-2262.

To be fair to Mr. Kosmos, he is NO LONGER a part of Chicago Commercial Capital and has taken great pains to see to it that the company is being investigated as well. He also was a victim in this matter and we apologize profusely if it appears that he was involved in the fraud against our clients. We know this was not the case. Paula and Paul
