I am posting an update on my previous post regarding CentrePointe Financial Services, Inc., CentrePoint Financial I would first like to apologize to Gordon W. DeBoer for making such serious allegations about him and his company. I was given nothing but lies from Vincent Patrick that lead me to believe that Gordon was a part of his unethical business practices. I will explain in more detail below. I was hired by Vincent Patrick who was dba as Mortgage Workflow. He had promised a group of people a great opportunity to work for his company that would offer health insurance, full paid membership to Los Caballeros Gym, stability, great salary and lots of room for growth. It all sounded too good to be true. I accepted a position as his Office Manager, believing I would have stability, great opportunities and lots of room for growth. To my dismay, it all became the biggest nightmare. I was fed nothing but lies and all broken promises. I was told several different stories by Vincent and if any of you out there know him, you will understand how he can make his stories so believable and convincing. One of his most convincing stories was how he acquired 50% of Centrepoint Financial. That was just another one of his lies and I shouldn't have believed him. I now realized when payroll came around that Centrepoint Financial issued checks to us as instructed by Mortgage Workflow (Vince Patrick) for services he had contracted to provide CentrePoint and for which CentrePoint thus made payment. Vince instructed CentrePoint to pay me a certain amount of money as payments for services he was contracted to provide. CentrePoint made the payments as instructed in anticipation Vince meeting his obligations to CentrePoint. Obviously, CentrePoint didn't talk about the details of why they issued checks to us. I was under the impression that a partnership in fact existed and therefore they were both liable for the NSF payroll check, issued by Vincent Patrick and final wages that weren't pay in full. I have been doing a lot of research and talking to a lot of people who previously worked for Vincent, just to finally confirm it was solely Vincent Patrick whom ripped me off. I feel extremely bad that I made such serious accusations against a company who had nothing to do with it all. I will seek legal action solely against Mortgage Workflow/Vincent Patrick and make sure that Centrepoint Financial is cleared of any wrong doing. I want to express my deepest apologies to Gordon W. DeBoer and his company CentrePoint Financial. There are no words to express how sorry I am for posting such horrible things about your company and you. I spoke to a few of Centrepointe Financial current and previous employees whom all have expressed how they never have been deceived in any way including getting paid wages and commission checks from Gordon W. DeBoer. In fact they stated he was a great person to work for and a very honest man. This has been a lesson and experience for me in dealing with such a convincing ConArtist as Vincent Patrick. When things start to not make sense and youre seeing unethical business practices RUN! This man is the worst type of person anyone can come across, be careful in doing business with him. Lastly, to all you consumers out there, you dont need to worry about Gordon DeBoer/Centrepoint Financial operating a business unlawfully with unfulfilled promises, deceitful, lies, and dishonest unfair business practices. These are all untrue facts about him. On the other handyou need to be concern with doing business with Vincent Patrick and Mortgage Workflow. Sincerely, Sandy

I came across some additional information on this "Vincent Patrick," apparently he has been ripping people off for years. He has destroyed families and caused many people hardship. If you do a goggle search, you will find a site that has a lot of consumers and employees who have been ripped off. http://www.bizcardpro.com/VincentPatrick.htm He is a disgusting, heartless "Crook." It makes me ill that someone could be so cruel and act as if he is the victim. He has stolen thousands and its time the FBI step in and handle this "Crook." We need justice and he shouldn't be allowed to have a non existent business , run it unlawfully as he has done and rip his employees off. In addition, he ripps off the IRS, fails to pay payroll taxes, federal taxes, and has taken people for thousands and thousands of dollars. I can assure all you victims out there, i won't let this rest until justice is served. This is not fair to anyone who has worked so hard, then to have this "CROOK" come into your life and destroy it! I made up my mind...i am going to the FBI! He can't run anymore, its time he face up and deal with the consequences. What is really sad is he was bragging that he is now 50% owner of Centrepointe Financial. Everybody read all about him and you will know what i am talking about. YOU NEED TO REPORT HIM TO THE FBI!
