Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
In may of 09 my husband and I went to work at Debt Educators America. We worked for Jesse Martines and this company for 3 weeks. During this time we were witness to and receiptient to illegal, immoral, and unethical situations. Jesse Martinez requested me personally to "witness" a document for a client. He told me to date it for January 2007.

I did not live in South Carolina at that time. I was in another state. Had I followed through with this. It could by all accounts be considered bank fraud. As it was a fake lease to show the clients debt to income being less than it actually was. We were witness to many checks Jesse Martinez wrote that bounced.

He admitted to me on many occasions the "bank fees were costing him a lot of money" Debt Educators of Americas and Jesse Martinez had a complaint filed against the business/ and owner with the South Carolina Employment Commission. Turns out Jesse Martinez paid everyone via 1099. When he paid us he told us not to cash our checks just deposit them and the funds would be in his account tomorrow. All employees pay checks bounced. In turn our rent checks bounced and we we evicted from our home. My husband and I spent ten days homeless, with our daughter, dog and cat!

Over the last few weeks he has been paying us in peacemeal. $100 here and there. Our bank acount is now overdrawn by more then $3600.00 dollars.

he hides behind his attorney and the cornerstone church in myrtle beach. He goes to church and confesses his sins. And the church keeps taking his money!

He defrauded his ex partners out of more than $27000.00 and ripped off a local realtor for $7500.00

This man and this company are complete frauds. He tells people he will help them fix their debt, then takes their money and spends it.

Stay away from Debt Educators of America and Jesse Martinez, He has a UTAH liscense, Washington state plates on his motorhome, and ties to a mortgage broker in Atlanta named Jeff. We are sure he has done this in other states, as he confessed this to his pastor. He also confessed to ripping off and insurance company to his ex-girlfriend.

Anyone who has had dealings with this man please post on here, so he can not do this to another family or business!!

It looks like you were broke from the get-go. Here you are neglecting your daughter, dog, cat, etc and blaming a company for your lack of consciensness. What parent would blame an outsider for not feeding their own loved ones? Criminals like you. I don't know you, but your tone is Irritatingly insincere. You choose to bash the world for your personal lack??? No wonder you are an angry team. The more time you spend hating (which you do), the more time you lose loving the family you were meant to support (rings or no rings). Get real people! Now, who's in "sheeps clothing". Obviously you two.

Good luck. It sounds like you're stalking the guy. We all have our issues. I doubt it's his fault because your daughter got sick. I hope your future is brighter.

To Lucky Me, Clearly we hit a nerve. Have you ever been escorted out of a motel because a credit card bounced? Have you agreed to leave a place that you called home because you wanted to protect your credit? (because otherwise you'd be evicted)? Have you slept in your car because you needed to eat vs sleep in a comphy bed? All of this we did at the hands of Jesse Martinez. Last week our daughter was taken to the emergency room because she passed out and hit her head. BECAUSE of Jesse Martinez. She has to follow a special diet and for 10 days she couldn't because we had little money to feed her diet. Today she is still trying to get her system fixed. As for church let me pass another factual clue about churches in general. They all pleed poverty; especially to the poor. A church that remains "nameless" I called 3 times and I have yet to hear from them. The one thing thankfully I can fall back on is a good old fashoned Priest! So thanks for asking. We're not hateful people. We're hurt, and that pain, we don't want others ever to have to feel or go through. Today was a turning point for us. Something that is simple as a ring that defines you as married and committed is no longer on my finger because I guess as you so elaquently put it our "asses are broke". But as sad as it was for the both of us and what the ring meant. A passing thought came into my head "we still have each other" So the moral of this story goes. Jesse's damage is done. We have lost what we lost. We now can get it back. We have another home, we now have jobs (of a public traded company) and slowly we get it all back. But Lucky, what you missed in all of this is while God is putting us back together. God will be teaching Jesse a long long lesson in life because you can't pretend to be a God fearing man that he pretends to be and go to church on Wednesday and Sunday. All the while living the life doing the devil's work. I will tell you the same as I told him He is nothing but the devil in sheep's clothing!!!!

It's one thing to talk about someone's wrongful business practices and yet quite another to name the Church they are going to. It sounds like you and your hasbeen are just hateful. And for his "ex-girlfriend" to tell you a dang thing is such a violation of his personal privacy. Maybe you need to take your broke a*s to church.
