Eric Williamson Credit Repair Scam Durham North Carolina
In March 2009 I contacted Eric Williamson. He claimed he could repair my credit in 30 days with no "BS". I believed him, and sent him a check for $ 600.
As of today, May 7, 2009, NOTHING has been done, and his phone is no longer accepting calls. In his last email to me, he told me to go ahead and complain, he is ready for it.
I feel like an idiot for trusting this guy.
I hope that this information will prevent others from being taken by this scammer.

TAKE IT TWO STEPS FURTHER

After reading the same types of complaints, it makes me mad
this guy is still out there preying on others.
Some of you have notified the Durham Police Department, this wont really help
because the offense is less than $1000. He'd probably get a slap on the hand
and spend a few nights in jail.
TAKE IT A FEW STEPS FURTHER!
It is a FEDERAL OFFENSE what this guy is doing. Here is a link to a similar
scenario from the Federal Trade Commission website:
http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2008/09/lhcr.shtm
Also, he is conducting business in North Carolina. Notify the North Carolina
State Bureau of Investigations. This is the North Carolina Department of
Justice. Attorney Roy Coopers office number (919) 716-6000. The website is:
http://www.ncdoj.gov/About-DOJ/State-Bureau-of-Investigation.aspx
Want something else? If he is conducting business in North Carolina, he needs
to report his earnings with the North Carolina Department of Revenue. Give the
Tax Fraud department a call 1-800-232-4939, they will look into it. Of course I have the link
for you!

PLEASE NOTE, user Lords Blessings and CREDIT GURU appear to be the same person. Check out the other reports on Eric and you will see what I mean.
If he has your social, I strongly advise for you to notify your credit bureaus to put you on Fraud Alert.
Sorry that you and others as what it appears are going through this. I worked in the mortgage business and came across individuals that offered this service. I would never refer someone that I would not use myself.
As for credit repair, this is a government website that might help and point you in the right direction.

As to Eric Williamson, if he has a business name, you can file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. This probably won't help any but at least it will show up if someone googles for his services.
THIS IS WORTH A SHOT THOUGH! Contact the mortgage company that referred him and ask to speak with the broker in charge and tell them what you ran into. If the mortgage company has not been alert about this, they will keep referring business and allowing their customers to get hurt.
Look to see if the mortgage company you are dealing with is allowed to do business in your state. You can normally find it by contacting the Commissioner of Banks.
If they are not on there, call the C.O.B immediately. They regulate all lenders that can do business in your state, and are VERY sensitive to PREDATORY practices. You might be able to tell them your scenario and the lender you have been working with, they may or may not be able to help, but it is worth a shot. If many people have complained about the mortgage company, they may audit the company or revoke their license.
I hope that the mortgage company you are using is not receiving kickbacks for sending business to Eric Williamson, this is illegal in the business.
ERIC WILLIAMSON, I will notify all my broker friends about you. Not once have you responded about the Durham Police Investigation.
