Paid $20K - Access Revoked After Factual Review - Misled, Manipulated, and Left With Nothing
EDIT: Brandon is not who he presents himself to be. In my experience, he displayed highly manipulative behavior, made false promises, and then revoked my access with no resolution. I paid $20K and was left with nothing. The conduct I experienced raises serious ethical and legal concerns via retaliation after I voiced honest feedback. He sells outcomes he does not fulfill and removes you from the program if you question or challenge him publicly. That was my personal experience after leaving a factual review. From my perspective, he's operating with deceptive marketing, wrapped in the appearance of "Christian values" and “family.” - It’s hard to reconcile how someone can present themselves this way - taking over $20K from honest people, delivering nothing, then refusing any refund or resolution after failing to provide the promised services. To make matters worse, they revoked all future assistance. Is that ethical? Is that what integrity looks like? Whose interests are really being served; the client’s, or just their bottom line? Throughout the program, I observed direct instruction encouraging participants to misrepresent personal income, business revenue, and business + application intent when applying for credit. The following statements are based on my direct experience as a paying member. I have not disclosed any proprietary templates or documents. However, I believe certain practices shared during this program may raise serious legal and regulatory concerns - including guidance on submitting identity theft affidavits for accounts participants were actively instructed to open. I am sharing this solely to protect others and to bring attention to conduct that may fall outside legal compliance. No NDA was signed, and my disclosures are in good faith. I was sold on the idea that I’d receive real support to obtain $300K in 0% business credit within 30–90 days. Before joining, I clearly communicated my situation and constraints and was told they could help me. Affirming with certainty that I will confidently achieve my goals with them in 30-90 days. Fast forward two weeks: little to no real effort was made to meet me where I was. I charged the cost to my credit card with the intention of getting help to afford it - and got no meaningful support in return. 3 months later.. They seemed to put more energy into keeping people in the program than actually helping them succeed. There were many signs of bait-and-switch tactics. Including sales misrepresentation of the first rounds being DFY vs learning how to do it DIY later. (There is no DFY, and I have documented proof) - Brandon refused to release the transcript upon multiple requests. (He failed the ethics test) The “deep AU discount” was another misrepresentation - the tradelines were actually 2x+ more expensive than public and private AU markets. The strategies felt outdated and disconnected from what’s currently working in the real world. Based on the results manifested vs using other working data in real time from prior groups and experiences (before and after CCE guided attempts) There appeared to be no clear understanding of stated income thresholds or documentation triggers - things real funders and underwriters track closely. I was told to contact each bank and figure this out myself - which defeats the purpose of paying for expertise. They claimed deep banking relationships flexing a list of 9100+ banks; but in reality had a very limited number of relationship managers (less than 10), many of whom were ineffective. Even major banks like BofA required documentation, and their contacts couldn’t override it. After going through hundreds of banks and following their system, I secured zero funding. Using their data points consistently got my applications flagged for manual review and triggered income verification requests. However, when I applied insights from other modern funding experts, I saw significantly better results - fast. That was the most telling difference. (FREE) This felt like a money-grab model that could only help someone who knew absolutely nothing and was willing to do 99% of the work themselves. The value exchange was completely out of balance. I truly wish they cared more about my success and goals. Boasting how they have internal KPIs; paradoxically does not align with their lack of results. This entire experience was deeply frustrating. I paid $20K, got removed from the program, and received no meaningful support or funding. I feel like I lit money on fire and am now stuck paying interest on a debt for something that returned zero results - despite doing everything on my end. This was extremely difficult to speak up about, but it needs to be said. I hope this protects everyone from going through the same thing.
Response from Credit Counsel EliteDec 2, 2025
Alan, thank you for laying out your experience. I reviewed your history personally. The description in your review does not line up with how our program operates or how members are supported when they follow the required steps. We do not remove members for asking questions or sharing feedback. Removal only takes place when the agreed program requirements are not followed, or when participation stops altogether. Our program is built on structure and accountability, and the members who stay engaged, complete the steps, and communicate with the team consistently get results. You mentioned feeling like you had to do everything yourself, while also saying you completed every step. Those two statements conflict with what we saw in your activity. The support, coaching, and materials were provided, but the required actions on your side were not completed in the sequence needed for the process to work. I am open to reviewing this with you directly. If you would like a clear breakdown of what was completed, what was missed, and what the next steps should have been, contact [[email protected]]. My priority is clarity and accuracy, and I want to make sure the record reflects the full picture. Samuel Fisher Memeber Success Director
