| Meridian National Trust ripped- me off. I didn't realize it until I just now when I saw the other reports. Too late because none were out there when I was researching the company...and that's the leverag they used to convince me that they were legit. Doug Alexanders said......"If we weren't a reputable company that delivered what we said, don't you think you'd find a bunch of negative reviews and complaints. We wouldn't be allowed to operate." He had a good point, because I couldn't find any. Not 1. Now here they come.....all at the same time. I filled out an online application, and was contacted by Doug Alexander who said I had been approved for a $5,000 loan. but since I was considered high risk, they shopped me around to their international lenders and I had received two approvals...one from Canada and one from Barcelona Spain. I could pick which one I wanted to deal with, but he said they work with the Barcelona lender a lot and have several accounts with him....so I went with that one. To make a long story short... The loan required the 1st 4 payments to be made up front which would be applied directly to the principal of the loan and would not be applied to any fees per the laws of NY. I wired the money. Then Stephen Cohen called me back and said the insurance company did a second look and decided they would require an additional 4 payments to secure the loan which would be applied the same way and I wouldn't have to make my first paymrnt until April 2012. I have two separate contracts that state all of this. Daniel S. Carter is the so-called CEO signing the contract. Both Doug Alexander and Stephen Cohen said the contract was legally binding so they would transmitt my loan once the requirements are met. I sent the 2nd $900 payment on 8/13 to the so-called lender in Barcelona. And Western Union even sent me a text when it was picked up. My loan was supposed to be in my account on Monday, but needless to say...no loan. I'm out $1800 and I don't know how I'm going to pay my rent or any of the other obligations I have. I am desperately seeking justice. I am a single mother and my desire to try to help my family and make things better has made me foolish and I actually made everything 10 times worse for myself and more importantly...my daughter. |

| I just made a report to the better business bureau about these people. Same name "Doug Alexander" same scam. My loan was supposed to be for $7000, same situation as you.. single mother and now in the hole due to these a holes. Only I realized it once he called asking for a second round of 7 pmts. I had been calling asking him to prove they were legit and he seemed so promising! I am sick to my stomach over it and my daughters 1st birthday is coming up Saturday and I don't have a dollar to celebrate. How can people live with themselves knowing that they are ruining people financially. I mean really? Steal from the poor and already suffering? Pathetic |

| I just contacted the FBI about this company. They took me for 1400.00 with the names of nathan flourence and steven cullings |

| The same thing happened to me. I checked the company out online, and also took all of the papers to my own attorney for review. All seemed to be in order except I am out thousands of dollars to these thieves! They are scam artists even though they seem to be on the up and up, they are NOT!! |

| Both of the people I spoke with Nathan Florence and Steven Cohen (if that is their actual names) make you believe the loan is real. The FBI definitely needs to be aware of this HUGE scam! |
