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!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Any updates since 5/19/2011 ?
To this date, Jeff Pulvino is boasting about the wondeful vacations he takes with his girlfriend Jennifer, who has a huge lesson to learn in life. Pulvino, Barker, Sandison, Soutar, and their co-criminals left many people homeless, hopeless, and jobless for thier own criminal and financial gain. Jeff Pulvino is a career criminal, period. Honestly, everyone needs to hammer these idots via their social networking sites so that they are never allowed to do it again. Pulvino is supported by his criminal mother and they hide behind religion to make themselves feel better. Some of the biggest crooks and criminals hide behind religion.
Guess who has new company?

Barker lists himself as a "serial entrepeneur" but it should be listed as a serial scammer.
Shane Barker, Jeff Pulvino, Jim Sandison, and the rest of the scam artists will get what is coming to them! They are too stupid to realize that the authorities and everyone they screwed are watching them and will catch up with them in due time. Shan may have put everything in his wife's name hoping to avoid prosecution, but this can only go so far. Shane is a "serial psycho" who is about as sincere as a fly and if you are intelligent you can pick this up - his fast talking is the biggest clue.

Good! His smart-### children have a few things to learn in life. Sandison, his wife, and Christian need to have a swift kick in the ### to make sure that they learn that lying, cheating, stealing, adultery, fraud, malice, unlawful greed has a price.
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
Guess who else has the same new company.

Pulvino and Barker are still doing cookie cutter statements. Looks like they just copied and pasted their experience.
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.
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?

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.
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.
I heard a radio ad for that as well. I wondered too. Maybe someone can go? I am out of town then so can't make it.
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?
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.
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 !
District Attorney needs to Hammer Them...

Sandison a business consultant? That about figures. He's still toast. We'll keep their names closely associated with their past deeds
I'll look in on him.

Has anyone called Kurtis about Sandison now being disbarred?Maybe he can do an update piece and get the attention going again on the lawsuit.
So, Call Kurtis yourself.
Any updates? Guessing not.
Nothing at this time. Attorney general cases can take several years if the defendant fights hard
If you google Shane Barker, he now has a new company. More lies.
I know a legitimate company that can grant you a real loan. Contact me via: walancej@yahoo.com
Hi all, another year gone by.
Thought this might be of some interest.

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
Would like to know if there are any updates on the Peter Scalise, Edwin Hetherton case? Did they go to jail? What is the status as of 2013?
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.
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.
Go to http://creatinemarketingshady.blogspot.com to read the blog article about the company.
I just noticed from their website the list of clients, like elk grove dental group. What's up with that?
Did you also notice that in the client list they list Shane Barker and Jeff Pulvino as reputation management clients too?
Yeah that sure looks dumb, I guess some idiots like EG dental fell for it. http://elkgrovedentalhealth.com/
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.
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...?
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.
