Gary Hoopes does the same routine with every client. "Mr. Petrucelli, uh..Como e stas?" I like your name! I'm Italian, too..That make us uh..paesanos, right?" Yeah my last name was changed at Ellis Island..Used to be uh...Hooperrr---oni...Hooperoni!" It's true, he'll talk about anything...Suits, jewelry, all kinds of merchandise with which he's got the hook up! He has an account with one of the credit bureaus to remove inquiries and yes, that service is really his bread and butter. He'll sell it to you even if you don't need it. He gets charged 50 dollars or so at wholesale and profitsmaybe 30 or 35 per inquiry. He charges a telephone consultation fee which is unheard of anywhere, because let's face it, a phone call with a charge would probably turn you off from the get go. and I believe it's something outrageous like 250 dollars for maybe twenty minutes of his time... The solution to the common problem is just don't pay him.
Until you sign that contract, there's nothing legally binding you. He gives you a bank deposit slip for you to fill out so you can fund his account. Unheard of, also. He won't run a credit card or debit card for services rendered which I suppose is a good thing, considering he has your credit information in his hands, but most legitimate companies operate in such a way. That way you have a receipt for a purchase, rather than a deposit receipt to someone else's bank account which you can not dispute in the future. If Mr. Hoopes likes you so much that he's willing to go and delete any information on your credit report, let him pay for it. Then just walk away.

Silva: Was just wondering how you found Counsumer Credit Information Administration? I wanted to look at their website to see if they advertised the same way the company I got screwed by. I searched but couldn't find anything.

Number one Mr Hoopes is not a criminal. He has no record. If he fails to perform there is a 100% money back guarantee not a 99% impossable to win if he fails to perform. I would like to know the spacific threat if true. So far there have been Zero complaints or requests for refunds. Next....The businesses in question are two completely different businesses and should never have been linked together. Herb has owned and operated jewelry stores for over 30 years. Here again I must stress the jewelry store has no conection to Mr Hoopes. There are not trade lines. There are however Robard's Fine Jewelry legitimate accounts. We do open accounts like all credit cards that are based on income which positivly improve their credit score. No credit history was ever backdated or promised to be backdated because "that" is illegal and a blatant lie. Next.... As far as CCIA is concerned it does do inquiry removal, it takes 14 to 45 days in most cases. It has taken as long as 6 to 8 months at the most. This is done legally through written dispute letters and sent to all three credit bureaus. There is no way to remove them in a week for the ,"right price" or any price for that matter. Although we have helped our clients get business credit, this is done after their fico score has been improved to 750 or higher. We than shop with all banks simultaneously to get our clients the best rates and the best terms with highest dollor amounts. This is done with two years of tax returns and verified income from their businesses. Please call me directly at 530-889-1819 and send a copy of contract to 530-889-1845 fax. Jared or Steven, Please send me a copy of your contract. Thanks Herb

Dear author. I wish to first say that I am not employed by or know the person in question. I am however aware of the persons involved. In your frustration against Mr. Hoopes you have thrown another honest business and man under the bus. This person I "do" know and your tying him to this is uncalled for. You have defaimed a man that has run his own business (no partner) for over half of his life. Some of your facts are false such as the service fees. The amount is not correct. While reading your report I can see that this is more than business, its personal. I think anyone that was told, "Your just not listening" would need an apolagy at least but this has gone too far. In this day and age, what you put out on the internet can cause severe damage and last forever regardless of the truth of it. Now you have involved two "Families". Please concider the ramifications of frustration. I would hope that you identify yourself to the parties in question to resolve this.
