Complaint Review: IMG INTERNATIONAL LLC - SANDY Utah

I signed a financial contract with two companies, IMG International [to provided coaching to build personal website to sell consumer goods] and CE Corporate Services [to setup business].  They have affiliated companies, The Coaching Department, Duvera Financial Services [financial group that handles the billing for IMG and CE Corporate Services], Power Pay and Authorize.net [merchant services to handle all website transactions], and Applybuilder.net [web host] that work together.

I recently learned that these companies are scammers. They solicited people using a fake email from someone you know and it draws you in.  Last year, my husband and I put down $1100 via credit card toward coaching at IMG International with a remaining balance of $3,640 for which we'd been making monthly payment of $134.44 via debit for nine months. The coaching consisted of a 5 - 10 minutes weekly which didn't benefit us very much and with research I found that for the amount of money we've paid/contracted, we could have had a website built for us, fully optimized, and making money.  I spoke with IMG International's owner named Tyler Watts and he, of course, will not own up to the scam.  I told him that hundreds of people have been scammed and it's all over the Internet via the BBB, ripoffreports.com, etc.  I politely asked for a refund of all funds paid within the contract and he refused; he only offered to lower the interest rate on the remaining money owed.  I told him that I will no longer be using there services and seeking legal action.

With CE Corporate Services, we put down $250.00 of a $995.00 contract (financed $745.00; was paying $67 monthly until July) to set up our business name and complete the necessary documents. They did set up the business but it was done incorrectly and we had to pay our tax agent money to fix it.  I tried to contact them for months but their phone rings once and hangs up on you.  Tyler Watts [from IMG] knew about the account when I spoke with him because these companies are all in the scam together.  When I mentioned the problem I had with this company, Tyler, all of the sudden didn't know anything...interesting!!

I’ve gotten threatening emails from Duvera Financial saying they're going to report me to the credit bureaus and recently received a letter from there so-called debt collecting company, Palomar Associated.  I told them via email and via letter, thank you for letting me know and that I am seeking legal action against all companies involved.

I spoke with Applybuilder which did refund 3 months of service and terminated our use of their service which I requested.  With the termination of service, I no longer have access to the website that I spent several months working on.

I spoke with representative from PowerPay and Authorize.net to terminate my monthly contract and they did end it but refuse to give any refund because it wasn't requested in the first (5) days of the month.
