This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I have been approached by this company and am unsure as well. They said they will find the discrepancies in my loan (for 1% of original loan amount) and give to their law people who will then assign a lawyer at $1000 per month (for about 9 months). I have researched the lawyers, the Founders and everything I can. All seems OK...but they are a newbie company. Basically not enough data to determine. The Rep I talked to was knowledgeable and explained well and answered my questions. I would go for it for sure except for...I am afraid of the process where I am not supposed to talk to the lender once the TRO (temporary restraining order) is filed, which means I'm not supposed to be sending the lender money, correspondence, nothing. That is the only part of this whole thing I am holding back on because at this time, I have never been late in my payments. Problem is, everything is going to change and soon--so I have to do something. Also, 9 months (10 if you include the audit the first month) is a long time to wait to see if you are a winner...almost like having a baby! I was told things would get worse before they got better--but they cannot guarantee that we will win. So what to do...what to do.

Thank you everyone! I have been holding off becoming a customer of these guys and am glad I listened to my gut. They were too positive I would win my case, they kept lowering the cost of the audit and raising the cost of the legal services. George Pulvino keeps trying, but the next time he calls, I am just going to tell him we went with someone else (and I did... me!). I've figured out how to make it all work without losing my home or even being late on one payment. By the time trouble comes-a-knocking, when all is said and done, I will be paying less for my house than if I went with US Loan Auditors/My Legal Service.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you who did get scammed, I hope Karma bites them ALL on the behind!

I also have been a victim of US Loan Auditors and demand a full refund of $7, 000. Nick Lucia and Brian Lilly were the salesman selling me their pitch that I had a strong case against the lenders. Please contact me. Let's file a class action suit.

i want to quickly use this medium to alert all loan seekers to be very careful because there are a lot of scams out there.Few months ago I was financially strained, and due to my desperation I was scammed by several on line loan lenders. I had almost lost hope until a friend of mine referred me to a very reliable lender called Mr Frank Bill who lend me an unsecured loan of Euro50, 000 under 4 hours without any stress. If you are in need of any kind of loan just contact him now via: richardjamesloancompany@gmail.com I'm using this medium to alert all loan seekers because of the hell I passed through in the hands of those fraudulent lenders. And I don't wish even my enemy to pass through such hell that I passed through in the hands of those fraudulent on line lenders, i will also want you to help me pass this information to others who are also in need of a loan once you have also receive your loan from Mr Frank Bill, i pray that God should give him long life.

What's frustrating now is to read the tweets from people like Pulvino talking about how he loves Church and family and is so great to the business world when in fact he should be worrying about dropping soap. If Jeff is such a Christian now, why doesn't he post an apology for his wrong doings at USLA? A. Because they don't think that way. They are professional crooks.

I might add, that they also caused my brother and his family to lose their home in Lathrop and another friend of mine to lose his home in Grass Valley.

these guys should be labeled as career criminals and sent away for life. They hide behind the corporate veil.

these friggin' Axxholes suckered us into paying a total of $55k and we lost $5mill in real estate. If I could do things like the western days, these punks would be through!
We have 4 little children and the youngest 2 with Autism. We were almost homeless because of these greedy ###.
We are still suffering from the aftermath and will NEVER recover what we lost and had worked so hard for for so many years to get it..
When my little girls ask me "Daddy, what happened to all of those houses that we used to go to all of the time" I get so angry that I just want to see Sandison, and his gang in the mortuary, but that is beyond my control. They will eventually find their own way there without anyone's help. They stole our children's future college money and their savings. we lost 4 homes in the Historic district of Santa Clara just about a mile from the new 49ers stadium
I really do hope the higher power will punish them severely, for everyone who they have harmed, not only with this company (USLA) but previous and future companies, if they make it that far.
Godspeed!

They do not publicly post federal posters such as hourly wage, workers' comp, safety & hazards, etc. in their office. I also highly suspect they are cooking their books so a handful of government agencies like the California Franchise and tax board and Department of Labor could be notified about them.

Has anyone called Kurtis or notified the AG about Sandison still acting as a Lawyer? Anything that we can do to stop these crooks, pulvino, sandison, mount, barker, black, fleetwood...?

It's kind of uncertain whether or not there are clients who are legitimately tricked by Creatine Marketing's practices since a handful of them are shady themselves, but it is definitely possible.

Many of the clients themselves have suspicious histories when you look into them like Marty DePaoli, owner of Axis Energy Partners was involved in insurance fraud in his previous chiropractic business, Keep It Clean has terrible reviews on Yelp and owners of Creatine tried to perform "reputation management" by falsifying 5 star reviews, Frank Yan, one of their reputation management clients was involved in a high profile lawsuit involving ALLDATA.

The company is trying to resell a social media software via affiliate marketing named "Snap Social" or "x-tremebiz dashboard" which is basically a rebrand of Sendible for a tenth of the price.

Thank you teavana: also if you go to the Creatine marketing website http://creatinemarketing.com/ check for the list of clients that have used their services, call those clients, let them know who these crooks are. Let everyone know who is dealing with these crooks. Thank you.

Hey everybody,

I just want you all to know that Jeff Pulvino and Shane Barker set up Creatine Marketing http://creatinemarketing.com, from 2010 onwards but both men aren't publicly listed anywhere on the website or business license. Daniel Fleetwood, former Vice President of Sales at US Loan Auditors, is listed on the company's Nevada business license.

http://nvsos.gov/sosentitysearch/CorpDetails.aspx?lx8nvq=NgvPgeAoXPaFDxs%252f60wWgQ%253d%253d&nt7=0

James Sandison is also not publicly listed anywhere on the team page of the website but he's in the legal department for Creatine Marketing as evidenced by this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ddtv-XVumeI

These people will not stop, a leopard does not change its dots or markings. Most of them have a criminal background and cannot perform a 9-5 because they cant pass a background check or a drug test.
They will always be Predators looking to Scam the public based on the public persons weakness. They will find a way to pry a buck out of the publics hands for 2-3 years and move on to the Next SCAM !

We have a failed legal system that does not follow-up on criminals like these idiots. Sandison should be locked up for past and present crimes. He is not a Sheriff anymore for a reason! You need to look to the AG, the DA, and the liberal legal system that is mroe politically pre-occupied and salary occupied than making sure that justice is served and the public is protected from ###s like these.

This case seems to have lost its momentum. Barker, Pulvino and Sandison all have new businesses and Sandison is still listed as Licensed with the DRE. I thought they went after them on criminal charges too. How come they are not locked up yet?

Has anyone looked at the website "ask steve for free"? This whole gimmic reminds me of usloanaudtiors all over again. Seminars where you bring your loan documents so they can look for fraud. They do audits. Provide legal help to save your home if thats what you want! Take a look. Let me know your thoughts.

Call Kurtis, Channel 13! The more peole who expose Barker and Pulvino, the quicker they will get shut down, hopefully for good. These jerks are serial crooks who are slimy and seem to slip through to cause more havoc like a worm. Personally, I am surprised no one has physically harmed them in retaliation.

Have u noticed that comments by Shane Barker have been removed on this site. And if you google his name, there is no mention of US Loan Auditors. I smell another scam in the making. Did the Sate drop the case, or what is going on?

In answer to samontnelis about the bankruptcy, pacer shows that Sandisons is closed. Dismissed for failure to provide certification of counseling. US Loan auditors is still active. I guess that means he still owes and creditors can come after him. Doesn't make sense to go through all the trouble of filing bankruptcy and then not follow up on counseling and getting the certification turned in on time. Waste of time and money.

I don't know what a garage sale can teach them about the lessons in life. They are just scrambling for cash. Chances are the items for sale are from the money scammed. Would be intersting to see what's for sale. Adultry? Who and with who? Their crimes just keep piling up. Any more word on the bankruptcy for any of them? Any news of criminal charges? Who is Christian? I haven't seen that name here before. Another ex employee? Did Sandisons wife work there too? Talk about a family affair
