This is Charles Demes. My services are not at all related to debt collection; nor is this a scam. By law, a debt collection agency must disclose up-front that they are attempting to collect a debt. Our company is NOT a debt collection agency. There are two other companies (Capital Recovery Corporation and Capital Recovery Collection Solutions) that are debt collection agencies, but we are not affiliated with these companies. We are a legitimate asset recovery company and have received an “A” rating (the highest awarded) from the Chicago Better Business Bureau (http://www.bbb.org/chicago/business-reviews/f ... ago-il-86001836).
With respect to scams, scams are based on money up-front. My proposal is based on a contingency which means our fee is extracted from the recovered funds. We are only paid if we are successful in recovering the funds for the beneficiary.
My company locates unclaimed assets, e.g., inheritances. These are moneys that were never recovered by an individual because they either did not know the money existed or because they passed away (and I am therefore trying to contact next of kin). If you doubt my claims, you can get references from some of the thousands of clients for whom I have helped recover money over the 20 years I have been in the business. My company is also a member of the Chicago Better Business Bureau--a watchdog organization that screens companies for exactly the types of scams you are worried about.
If I, or anyone from my company, have ever contacted you it is because we have found a legitimate asset that you (or your family) have legal claim to. We charge a fee that covers finding the asset, finding the individuals who can legally claim the asset (which can take months of work), and legally processing the claim in this highly specialized field to win these cases so the money goes to our clients and not the many creditors that can also lay claim to these funds. Each case can take months or years of work, but in the end, you and your family get a check for the agreed upon amount. If we cannot secure the money for whatever reason, we don't get paid. In other words, if you don't get paid, we don't get paid. Please contact us if you have any further questions about our services, or visit our website www.capitalrecoveryllc.com
Thank you.
I'm kind of surprised at some of the negative things said about Charles. My experience with Charles / Capital Recovery was excellent. My case was handled in a professional manner.
I think that rather than rely on the comments here, check out Charles Demes record with the Better Business Bureau. Capital Recovery is a BBB accredited business, not a debt collector or a scam artist. What is unfortunately not discussed here are the thousands of people who have benefitted enormously from the services provided by Capital Recovery. There might be some confusion because there is a company called "Capital Recovery Corporation" that has a website that does appear to be about debt collection, but that should not be confused with Charles Demes's company. Check out their real website at http://capitalrecoveryllc.com/bio.html
Mr Demes doesn't ask for any personal information, nor does he ask for money up front. He only gets paid if he collects. The only thing you have to give him is a signature. I filed bankruptcy so he sure isn't trying to collect debt from me. He is a good guy
This guy sends letters to family and friends trying to contact you. he won't call you direct. Why would he do this? It is a scam and avoid working with him. Also, if you ask him to stop, he will not! Any one know of legal action against him? Point me in the right direction and I would join in!
Also check out BBB. He has 4 complaints against him in the last year. Yeah, that sounds legit to me.
