Same story as everyone else. I filed a police report. It is a civil issue, but they told me that if enough people filed a report it could be tried as embezzlement. If you go to their website, click on the e-reporting section and fill out a fraud report. I actually went in there twice with police officers so they would talk to me. I paid the fee with a credit card and my credit card company fought to get me my money back. If you used a card, I would suggest doing the same.

These people are the worst. My Fiance' and I were looking for a place to move into together and we thought these people were legit. Although it seemed sketchy at first, we now know we should have gone with our gut feeling. They took our $200. we never used their services. Didn't even fill out the application. We went by THEIR guidelines and received ZERO response. I called for new listings and never received any. I filled out their "Refund Request Form" (What a joke), and received a notification that in order for us to receive the full refund we had to wait out the contract. We did just that and I called every single day and left a message (because no one live ever answers the phone) and never received a response. I have even gone down to their office in Tustin to speak to someone and STILL get the runaround. Our contract finally ended and I have been trying to contact them to get our money back. My Fiance' and I will be going down to Santa Ana PD and giving our statements. I would encourage all who have been scammed to do the same, and for those who are considering going to these "people"... DON'T. They will take your money and give you nothing but false hope, empty promises, and give you a headache. If you did get screwed by these people, the information below is for the police report and for the PI that is involved in the case. Please help us put a stop to these scam artists. offense: fraud report date: 12-16-2013 time 1640 hrs/4:40 p.m. case number: 13-33875 officer: j. rodriguez badge# 1997 for help call the investigator luis orellana luis_orellana_invs@yahoo...

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone would like to join me for a Picket or to pass out flyers in front of their business on Garry? My story is just like everyone's here only I was only with them for 24 hours where I was sent on fake ads, properties that I were told were my price range that were $500 more a month that I could pay and places in the sketchiest areas that I feared for my life. After about 50 emails, talking to 3 supervisors, going in person... I finally got my refund. $60!!! Everyone in the office knew I was entitled to $200. They knew I was waiting for $200... they knew that's what I was expecting. So yeah, countless lies, false promises of a full refund and a waste of time, energy, anger and frustration and that's all I got. No application was submitted, the refund form was submitted the next day, and even people in the office agreed I should get a full refund. I've never picketed before but this is the 1st company I would actually like to aid in them losing business and not having others get scammed too, so if anyone is interested in picketing with me, let me know!!!!

Balboa Credit Group Robbed me $200!! Balboa Credit Group is a scam!!! Back in 07/2013, they got my $200 and promised to find me a house/apartment. I saw a property the following day. That is also the only property I saw. It is in hacienda heights which was rented out to someone else 5 months earlier. I sent them verbal and written request right away asking for full refund. The lady in customer service (Kathy) said that I have to wait 90 days until the contract expiries. After 90 days and numerous calls, they only gave me $60 instead of $200. I called several times and they simply ignored my request. This company is located at 1800 E. Gary avenue, #214, santa ana, ca 92705 Their tele no is 949-474-2312 and 714-550-4111. Most of time, your calls will be routed to answering machine right away.

No stars! these people are thieves and liars! I wish I would have read these reviews first! Took $200 dollars from me and provided a list with UNAVAILABLE houses that have been previously rented or the owners of the properties don't know who these people are!

WARNING: THIS COMPANY IS FRAUDULENT! DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY!!! After almost 9 months of battling with this company and filing reports with the Better Business Bureau, the Department of Real Estate, and the Department of Consumer Affairs, I finally got my $200 "deposit" back. Like the other reviewers said, they give you fake listings and refuse to address your concerns. I have NO idea how they're still in business, but PLEASE learn from our mistake and avoid the Balboa Credit Group entirely!

this place is a total scam and the employees there are fraudulant. they got me for $200, they said they'd help me find a home, when i called to view something i liked they never called back, i took it upon myself to drive to the place i liked and talked to the actual owner of property and the owner said she did not not deal with any brokerage companies, i then went to confront "balboa credit group" (scammers) and get my refund, when here comes in a young lady with a police officer, i asked whtat her situation was and she also got robbed for her $200, right after the young lady walked in, another male person walks in with the same exact issue. this only proved that these people are scammer and will not help you fiind anythng they promise, they will take your mmoney though and give you the run around when you call them for more info or listing, they have bullshit list they provide. they will ot give you the refund there as well they have to submit it supposedly to their "refund department" that does not exist, its all inhouse. people please dont be fooled by these people who have no sorrow in robbing us people in need of a home. they're currently located near the 55 fwy and dyar road on a street calle gary.

This company is a scam!!!!! Do not ever trust them..Do not believe whatever they will promise you at all. They will just get your money and u won't ever see any apartments from them. They will just give you lists and let you go see by yourself and they promise you that they will send an agent with you but no one will come. So DO NOT TRUST this company at all, the person who work at this company name ORLANDO and BARBARA CRED, they all sweet talks and lies and just want to get your money of $200 which they promise you will be able to help you find a better apartments for you which after you make the payments all you will see a lists of all the apartments that normally you can get from CRAIGSLIST but as soon they got you. You won't see any apartments at all. I admit they got me and my money $200, so I just want this to be memo to all the people out there. Do NOT TRUST your money to this company at all. THEY ARE ALL SCAMMMMMMMMM.... The new address of the company is: BALBOA CREDIT GROUP. INC. - 1800 E GARRY AVE SUITES 214, SANATA ANA CA 92705. 949-474-2312...

the service requires an initial deposit, but claims that it can be refunded if you find a house without the service. I filed for a refund, but never received one, nor was ever appropriately consulted or spoken to regarding the refund. unprofessional and disorganized staff. unfriendly as well.

This place is a scam, do not give them any money. They supposedly help you find apartments but I never got in to see one single apartment. They tell you that you'll get a refund if you find a place on your own which is a lie. You'd be better off just looking in the PennySaver (which I saw them doing) or Craigslist (which they advertise on so be careful).
