Escrow Cheque

I got a threatening letter from an attorney representing Escrow Cheque today via email. He told me to be careful what I say about them... However, I stand by this: They hired me to do a job. The loan did not fund (they say) and they refuse to pay me. I still consider this theft of services and fraud. I intend to report them to the FTC and BBB (and anyone else that will listen) now to see who is right. I did not lie about them one time and resent the threat from the attorney... Best of luck to anyone working for them.

You have a right to say whatever you want in my opinion. If that company did not pay you for your services then you have a right to complain about. I agree with you that it is a theft of services. You have no way of knowing if the loan funded and they are lying unless you call the actual funder of the loan. I believe that you should be paid regardless.

JMHO....

Morally and ethically, a company's actions may fit the definition of theft of services and fraud but if their actions do not fit the *legal* definition of such, then that's where one could get into trouble making those statements. That may be reason behind this threatening letter. However, there's nothing an attorney can do about someone sharing their particular experience and circumstance with a company (being that all the facts stated are true).

When anyone writes that they were not paid for services rendered (i.e., bounced checks, phones disconnected, given the run-around, unanswered emails/voicemails/letters, account 90 + days unpaid, etc.) most (if not all) draw the conclusion of the SS or TC being a deadbeat, thieving and conniving scumbag of a company.

Again, JMHO

Pretty sneak it seems

...so, after reading the cease & desist order, it appers the company in question is not the one in Woodland Hills that is known as Escrow Cheque Corp. The bogus company that is being cracked down upon iis also in Woodland hills, posing as the company known as Escrow Cheque Corp, using a similiar name and forging documents belonging to Escrow Cheque Corp, a legitimate escrow company. The info I gleaned from D&B in January is the listing of the legitimate company! I had no way of knowing that they were not one and the same. Pretty sneaky on the bogus company. They sure had it set up to look good on the surface. Looks like they are being persued. Everyone who is having a problem collecting with Escrow Cheque is dealing with the bogus company, right? The ones named escrow cheque.net or escrow cheque corporation? Right?

Re: Escrow Cheque who will not pay me is located at

The whole thing is pretty fishy...both companies appear to have issues ( did a search on google) What type of company uses an ISP email instead of their own domain??? Did you ever confirm if the loan you closed ever did get closed and recorded?
