Eric Barnes Capital Funds Group Eric Barnes of Capital Funds Group ruined my life, South Surrey, British Columbia
Eric Barnesintroduced me to Tom McKenzie and Michalea Barrett of 'Barrett's Capital Exchange' (BCE). The paperwork we put in place said he would only get paid his commission, after BCE had secured the funding I was after. BCE did not secure any funding for me but agreed to refund half of the due diligence fee I paid them. They claimed that because they had already paid Eric Barnes his commission,they could not refund more than half the fee.
That was Feb 2010 and till today, a year later; Eric Barnes still has not confirmed or denied BCE's claims. Instead, he has gone totally silent and not responded to my emails or those from my lawyers. Just like BCE whohave notrefunded any part of my due diligence fee.
The financial, mental and emotional trauma my dealings with Eric Barnes has caused me has been unbelievable.

Whos ever heard of an innocent man not declaring his innocence and replying to letters from lawyers in a timely manner?
Eric Barnes did not grab the great opportunity he was given to prove that he did not accept any payment from Tom McKenzie and Michalea Barrett of Barrett's Capital Exchange in a timely manner. Instead he went completely silent and ignored all the emails, voicemails, letters and faxes. Why?
18 months later he decides to protest his innocence: thats simply not good enough. I maintain: my dealings with Eric Barnes have been financially, mentally and emotionally traumatic.

Our firm never received any commission fees from this complainant nor from BCE. Only had she been funded would we have been entitled to that commission. We finally cut off all dealings with these critters when it became obvious that they had no intention of funding any of the projects and were still taking healthy sized "due diligence" fees. They have since changed their company name once again. But it was too late by then and the damage was done.
Lady in Red needs to realize that she sent her money to McKenzie and that he should be her target. McKen-zie has moved on to at least one more company name, perhaps more. We know he changed phone numbers and email addresses, as has his daughter.
We are still in the same place, still in business after almost 16 years and at the same address for the last 10 years. This, btw, is the only complaint ever lodged against us.

At no time have we ever received a "commission fee" from BCE or its many other companies. Nor have we ever received any funds from "The Lady In Red".
And while we regret the which resulted from our introduction, we can hardly have "ruined" her life. She met with Tom McKenzie of BCE and was reportedly very pleased.
Her complaint should be with Tom McKenzie and BCE or whatever other name under which he is currently operating. According to her report, BCE promised a partial refund to her and did not follow through. We have absolutely no control in her situation.
