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:

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:

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.

I am filing this report against Eric Williamson 5209 brookstone dr DUrham, NC, 27713 I paid Eric $200 as a 50% down payment, he said he will fix my credit within 21 days, its been a few months now and no changes have been made to my credit whatsoever, he doesnt reply to emails and doesnt pick up the phone when I call, he is a crook! The good news is that I didn't wire him the money, I actually went to his house and handed him the money, so I can identify him, I am going to report him to local law enforcement. People like Eric need to be stopped because they are a danger to society. I saw his children at the house and I assumed I could trust him since he is a family man, I guess I was wrong, what kind of example is he showing his children by robbing people, its really sad. I hope he refunds all the money to all the people he has scammed, Eric, its never too late to turn back. James Myrtle Beach, South Carolina U.S.A.

YOU are the danger. You honestly believe your credit can be fixed in 21 days? Sad. No one can repair credit except you despite the multitude of claims to the contrary. Sorry, but I have zero sympathy for anyone who could believe something that ridiculous. People like you are the reason lawn mowers have warnings to keep hands and feet from under them.
