Another Benchmark Rip Off -

I lost 813.00 first and last months payment to so called benchmark financial.  I own a small business in Round Rock Texas and really couldn't afford to lose any money.  Basically what happened was they kept asking for more info that they already had asked for. 

Then asking me to provide things I didn't have like verification of an old LLC that I had already sold.  When I Couldn't provide the paperwork that basically didn't exist they said I couldn't have any money back.  I spoke with Craig Loveless his boss was Jason bernal then there was Marcus Davin but mysteriously he never came to the phone. 

This happened back in september but recently they sent me an advertisement about there leasing services.  When is this company going to go out of business?

Familiar Story

on around sept 2009 i was looking at a tow truck to buy to replace my old one. i called benchmark financial group, they aproved a lease at around 9.8% i signed the agreement and sent them $3800. they asked if i could fax them a copy of check to get things going,.I did.

They cashed the faxed copy before they recived the mailed one. weeks went by , and i kept calling telling them i had a class included w the tow truck purchase i had to go to. they called said that they couldn't get in house finanacing and would use a outside company.

More time went by (I missed Class ) and they came back with a intrest of 29% i told them that was unaceptable and that i wanted my money back. I called the national equipment finance ass. and they reviewed the case and found in my favor. they notified benchmark and told them to refund me my money or they would have there mebership revoked (benchmark didn't).I reported and filed a complaint with the cal. attorney General and still to this day have not recived a refund.
if you have questions or need doc's call me

Calm Down - State the Facts

I get many emails each day about Marcus Davin and Benchmark.  Many are simply copies of emails to Benchmark employees.  The threads are too long to post.  If you would simply take a deep breath .. and compose a paragraph or two stating the facts.  What happened to you?  How did Marcus and Benchmark rip you off?

If there are other representatives from Benchmark involved tell us about them too.

Keep the emotion out of it.  I know that you are angry. We are all angry.  Right now we need people who can calm down and state the facts clearly.

Thank you. 

Ron

Here's the deal

A pattern emerges.  Marcus asks for deposits and never returns them when he can not find a lender to finance the deal.  If it is an out of state customer, he calculates the risk that they will take him to court.  Unlikely for the small sums of money that he steals.  Often $2,000 or less.   He could care less about the Better Business Bureau of www.leasingnews.org he simply ignores them. 

He offers a "Credit Repair Service" that is another one of his rip offs.  According to former employees there is no one in his organization that does credit repair.  He collects the money .. for credit repair just like he collects the money for insurance ... but provides nothing in return.

Why,...

I got another private email asking me why I am doing this.  I am not out for money or vengence I am out to prevent other small business people from getting burnt.  Pure and simple.  "For everyone to whom much is given, of him shall much be required." -- Luke 12:48

One more thing

Marcus called and was concerned because he thought that I was threatening Jeremy York. No... He is one of the ones at Benchmark that I think can be be saved.

He could go down with this guy or he could help us uncover the truth. 

He has a family and Saturday visitation at prison sucks.

If you know how to get to present and past employees of Marcus Davin, please contact me.   

Marcus Sueing Me

I keep getting this question ... aren't you affraid of Marcus sueing you?

No.  The last pace that Marcus wants to be is a place where people have handcuffs and badges. 

Not only that, I am stating the truth!  ..Slander is fasle witness .. I am amazed by the number of people who Marcus Davin has stole from. 

 My dream is that Marcus will will sue me in a Wyoming court.  And all of you show up.  I will host a big party ..

Or sometimes I have this dream that we are all together for a "conviction party" at Disneyland.

I get this question from employees who used to work for him... aren't you afraid of him be cause he has all of this money. 

Yes, he has a wonderful house in a gated community in Newport Beach and his wife doesn't even know that he is a crook.  But no .. it is money that he has taken from victims .. small businesses .. and I will fight to my last breath to bring him to justice!

Criminal

There are two things that you need to do.  If you have been burned by Marcus Davin.  Take him court an plan to show up.   http://www.occourts.org/directory/criminal/  does not matter one hoot whether you get more money then you spend getting to court.   Go to Disneyland.  It is right next door.

If you get a judgment .. which you will, then send me a copy.  I am collecting all of them.  If you have a story, and do not wish to go to court, then write a one page summary, sign it, and have it notarized . Send it to me,

You see, this is no longer a civil matter.  It is a criminal matter.  Federal ... yes. 

I do not care how much money this man is a theif ... . and whether we get it back what we have lost, ...  I want to see him in prison.

Also to those currently work for Marcus ... leave, and come over to our side.  You have families .. and you don't want to restrict their visitations to Saturdays. 

If you have worked for Marcus in the past, talk to me.  Your identity will be protected.

Many victims have told me that they are afraid of Marcus...  I am not .. I believe in America's justice system .. but I need your help. 

The last place that Marcus should want to be right now is a place where there are hand cuffs .. same for those who work for him and are complicet ...

Communicate with me... with us.

Benchmark Fraud - Welcome

I received a call from Marcus Davin today.  He seemed to want to retry the case.  Superior Court, Orange County, CA issued a judgement against Benchmark on Wednesday.  I think that he really believes in what he says .. some may call one like that a "pathological liar"

He threw around a few threats.  Liable and Slander are only an issue if it ruins someones reputation or ability to do business. We all know that there is nothing more that can be said to ruin Marcus Davin's reputation.

I told him that I didn't think that it was a good idea to hang around where justice is served.  Even though he been to court so many times that they should have a parking space reserved with his name on it.  A choir boy he is not. 

I would go to court!  And while I was at it I would organize a Benchmark Fraud reunion at Disneyland!  It is an awesome place and it is only a few miles from the courthouse. 

Let me know what you think.
