I attended a Realestinvestors.com seminar in Las Vegas Dec 2009. I purchased a (hard sell) real estate investing coaching program. They were promoting private one on one meeting for your business and it was here that they would encourage getting into the coaching program. It was here that I said "I don't need more books and tapes"! They assured me it would not be that.

Well after purchasing it at the tune of 17k with a $5,999.00 down payment and $1,999.66 over 6 months charged to a credit card at a certain date monthly.

Well, here we go. First my card charged twice within a month for not only the down payment but the monthly charge as well.

The purchase was made on Dec 13th and I didn't have access or link info until Dec 18th. Cancel window was 3 days after purchase!

I sent a series of emails regarding not getting info and finding out that it was a link to audio tapes and videos! How unhappy I was with the lack of communication and many issues with technical difficulties.

Finally, the coaching sub company REIeducationproducts.com said to contact Collins office regarding refund.

I did and several people replied with no results. Many emails later the head of finance at the time sent me an email saying she was not aware the issue but would honor my request for refund.

Time went by and nothing. It was then that I got my credit card company involved.

I went back and forth for a year. Realestateinvestor.com agreed not to continue to charge me for any further payments? And consider my self lucky because I broke a payment agreement? Well, didn't they too by not providing product in a proper amount time to cancel.

I went back and forth for a year until finally my credit card company said they had to take the side of the merchant! I would not get my refund of $7,998 in which RealEastateinvestor.com had already charged my card.

Realesatedinvestors.com suddenly changed the story after getting american express involved. They lied about the series of events. Saying I didn't give a chance, they never agreed to give me a refund, when I have the email to prove it.

Even after providing my emails. My credit card company said they had to side with Collin Egberts company contract saying "refunds provided within 3 days of purchase of product". Well, it was service that was subcontracted out and the terms were clearly not communicated between each companies.

Collin Egbert presents and sells at numerous seminars making claims to refund you when you're not happy with a product yet he hides behind his accounting dept with the intent of only selling you products at seminars!

Please beware!
