This company is by far the closest thing to 'making a deal with the devil' that I ever experienced. My brother Doug and I applied to this company to get business credit. They had this really nice person call us every few weeks to see if we were still interested. This is the bait. After a couple of calls and discussions, we decided that this was the way to go.

We should have noticed how desperate they were to get us to sign (the contract was actually from RBSL group, not unsecuredline) but at the time it just seemed they were really efficient. We also noticed at that point how many affiliates they have. After the signing, you get a totally different tone from them. They are rude and cold, provide no contact with you whatsoever, except to send threatening emails if you don't do what they say when they say it.

The contract is better organized than enron...pure genius! They claim to consult with you on banks. They actually GIVE you 15 or so banks and MAKE you apply to them all, or risk a being charged a fee. Where do they put this fee? On the credit card you gave them for the original $395 credit check profile. They also try to sell a optimizer that is supposed to help you get credit. We decided not to go with that.

After they found out they couldn't make money off us with that, they really got icy with us. What if you don't like the banks they offer? If you don't apply, they charge you a huge $2500+ fee PER BANK. What if they charge your card and you dispute it? That's in the contract, too. you cannot dispute their charges. What if you want to sue?

So says the contract, you have to pay all the legal fees. What if you want out of the contract? Sure, you can have out; but you're still liable to all the banks they give you, which means if you want out, you have to opt out before you find out which the banks. That's why they made us respond by email to say we got the banks! Told ya! Enron genius!

Oh, and to clear your inquiries, they send you to another of their affiliates, SBFC who you'll see also posted on the rip off report. They didn't get us any loans. If they had, we would owe 5% of the amount of the loan to them for finding the company!!! They take full control of your credit report and your ssn while you work with them. And because they only take those people with good credit, they know it marring your score means something to you.

After we realized what we'd done, we felt controlled and trapped. The contract doesn't really make sense until you are knee deep in it, and they know that. Don't be fooled by the friendly voice or the friendly faces on the website. The authorities should be notified. DON'T fall for the scam. They WILL NOT help you, and you'll be worse off after dealing with them.

Whomever the palm springs person is that posted here, you need to let us know how to contact you for this class action suit.

I have had the same experience with unsecuredline.com. I feel that I have been baited into their service, lied to about their services, manipulated into paying them money, and forgotten about after I made payment by this company. I heard from their reps weekly until I paid for the service. After making the payment, I have yet to hear from anyone offering to help me. Please let me know about the class action lawsuit. My email is gatorpilgrim@hotmail.com

I came here because I paid the initial fee and was then contacted to pay the 2500 for this magical profile they were going to create for me. Being a halfway descent detector of too good to be true I googled the company and found this site. I would like to be contacted about the class action suit going on. Thanks alpuckett26@yahoo.com

You all are right. Thank god I caught them before my account was actually debited. They are a complete scam! They falsified the application, which I NEVER signed and they wanted proof of my checking account which they were trying to use to get the $329. I contacted the Utah (the state unsecuredline.com claims they operate out of) State Attorney General's office regarding this scam in order to file an online complaint.

I hope this group of scammers burns in hell!!! They have taken advantage of A LOT of people and they should be prosecuted for their actions!

I have dealt with this company and got funding. I did read the contract prior to signing and their fee structure is lower than all others I checked in this category. My experience was very positive. They made no promises on the front end and provided me with excellent coaching that likely would have made it so I did not get so much funding. I got funding in the low 6 figures with the help of UnsecuredLine.

I was told by the sales rep that much of the complaining on these types of sites is due to the large amount of potential business owners that they deal with and wide range of clients that they work with. Certainly they are not miracle workers, but I would bet some of you complaining have crappy credit and did not follow their recommendations.

I had the same experience. I wanted to take loan for real estate investing but did not have a business for that. I called Cody Rich in Unsecured.Com and he said I don't need a company and I can easily get the loan for real estate investing. When I paid him $330 as application fee, someone else from his company called me and said I will not get a line of credit without having a business. He also said that I simply cannot get a loan for real estate business in these times. He suggested me to manipulate the system almost doing some fraud. He said I should take LOC for some other business like IT consulting and later use that credit for real estate. My point is they took $330 from me by giving wrong information. I tried to get that money back but did not succeed. Now I am trying to find some institution in Utah where I can lodge a formal complaint.

I am currently going through the same anxiety and frustrations with the Unsecuredline.com, i have also signed the agreement, they continue to threaten me about the contract and charged my account $2500 on my credit card and finally i filed a complaint as fradulant charge and removed them from my card.

Now they changed another $250 on my account and made the regular cheques bounce. I dont know what to do. If someone finds out how to find a complaint about them, please send a mail to cyrilprabhu@hotmail.com

Business owner and aspiring business owner, be aware of this company RBSL group (fundinguniverse.com). They are a complete fraud.
They claim will help you to secure financing to your business but what they truly want is your money. Their strategy work like this:
First they convince you to pay $329 and they promise you they will help you to secure financing within two weeks. Then you receive a call within
two days and they convince you to pay $2500.00 to get your profily in optimal condition for financing. Then they advised you that they will produce and
optimizer report and be delivery to you within 3 business day. Within 3 days you will receive an email advising you the report is done. In that email
you will receive another advised to contact a law firm provided to you by them and that you will receive a discount of $250, if you allow then to help you
with your credit history. At that point I knew I was dealing with an unethical company. Please follow my advise and do not make the same mistake I did. Once they
get your personal ATM, they will charge your card without your autorization. I already opened a complain with my personal bank, too. Please read and learn from my mistake.
Stay away from RBSL Group (fundinguniverse.com)

They got me too. Daphne Romero was the friendly voice and she said that I can go for a ARC loan for now to pay off some credit cards and get my personal credit jump up. She asked me to send the $329 and then in 3 days I received a phone call from Cody Rich and told me that I needed to get into the optimizer report to fix my business credit report and it will cost me $2500. I never sent that money. I cannot believe these people are on the loose getting fat from other people's money. If there is a class action suit, please let me know.

God Help me, this is by far the most insidious and devious scam yet. I have dealt with these asses, yeah I said it, and they trun the tone over once the contract is signed. They said they'd work with me for making payments for this "optimizer" and then proceeded to try to get the money out of my account all at once. Liars. They then began a ransacking of my account till they accumulated the $2500 fee. I had to fill the account from my savings (What I live on in the summer time as I'm a teacher) and then told me to read the contract after I complained.

They make you do the work of the business plan and then "correct" it and tell you what to change. The good news is I have finally completed my business plan, the bad news is I have to find real and legitimate investors now.

I WANT IN ON THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

They need to pay.

I was a victim also. I dont think I need to go into detail about my experience its the same as everyone elses. All though I have found what many are asking for. A PLACE TO FILE A CAMPLAINT. www.consumerprotection.utah.gov this is Utah's department of comsumer affiars. I have called the Attorney generals office of Utah and Colorado which is where this company opperates from. they told me there is not pending cases for this company. I was Directed to the above place to file a complaint. So everyone the more complaints that are filed the better our chances for shutting them down. The second complaint center is the National Comsumers League Fraud Center. www.fraud.org/ this center will direct the compliat to the appropreite law enforcement agency. I have also found the SBFC in not in any Bar associatin listing neither by that name for the only name listed for the group. I am looking into a complaint with the bar or other federal agency. So Please if anyone else has info lets use it to stop this company. if anyone has info on the class action suit let me know Shrop3@gmail.com

I was scammed also. I was recommended to these ripoffs by Money For You a financial consultanting firm in Port Angeles, WA. MFU made a gaping error by referring us to the RBSL group to get a SBA ARC Loan. The application was more than I had ever completed and then came a list of four banks they said I HAD to apply to. They were riding my every day, even calling me on my cell phone at work saying time was running out. At the end they extended my time to get the apps done. i did one and decided this was not for me. I sent them a letter of cancellation by UPS Overnight and got this reply from them today:

Your account is canceled--Thanks

We have been dealing with this company for seven months. They took us for $2500.00. They are so rotten. A scam. I am trying to get my money back, but they always have an answer. I haven't got the loan and can't get our money back. I have tried to turn them over to the better business bureau in Iowa, but they kept giving me different places to call. This company has to be stopped.
We did everything on the list and still can't get our money back. To me, $2500.00 is a whole lot of money. I hope people keep complaining about them and something is done. psnyder62546@aol.com
I want in on the class action law suit.

Count me as another sucker. As previously mentioned, my experiences are very similar to the experiences shared here. I reported RBSL to my credit card company, and the CC company honored the RBSL contract even though I was provided NO gods or services. Thanks a lot DISCOVER!

Fortunately, my wife is an attorney. I will look into a class action suit against RBSL. FYI, we are also going to go after Discover Card. I will make another post on this forum in a few days with more info.

I don't get it. I bought some of USL products/services and have received some funding ($25k) as well as 'goods and services' in the form of a business plan, financing plan, and other useful tools. I've gotten my money's worth and some funding. They have been easy to contact, and helpful. I have gotten what I paid for and then some...
