I asked to speak to Matthew, and she started laughing at me and told me it was tax season, and he was too busy to speak to me about my taxes. He won't even speak to me and will only speak to my husband. When I requested an update on my taxes, the receptionists informed me that he was too busy to do so. I scheduled my tax appointment in early February, but as of mid-March, it has still not been filed. He is the accountant for my husband's business, which is why we went to him for our personal taxes, and it has been nothing but a joke. He is asking for information he should have as our business accountant. We have called countless times, and he REFUSES to call us back. My husband just gets emails saying he will file everything soon but gives us no real update or an actual date to when he will file. We can't even file with someone else because he still has not given us our K-1 form from the business. This place is awful, and I would recommend looking for someone else if you are looking for an accountant for your business or your personal taxes.

Took our taxes to Fox and Stephens as per their advertisement says they're combined years of…read moreexperience is at least over 30, so I figured I was going to be getting some professional service. We had several personal issues and needed to get our corporate taxes done quickly. Granted we had three years worth of taxes to catch up on and we were assigned to Matthew Holland. Things started out OK at first, but then went downhill. Long story short, we went to their office a minimum of two times and when we got on the phone with the IRS, I found out our taxes were never electronically filed. When I contacted Fox and Stephens they said it was because we did not sign the forms. I had also assembled all documents for them to process everything correctly. They were to enter all paperwork etc., which I had meticulously put in labeled hanging file folders and in a bankers box. After all that work, I had their employees calling me asking where certain things were. I told them to look in the box I had assembled everything and they have every receipt there is, plus they had access to my QuickBooks account as well as my bank account. Then with the last year due, Matthew told us their company upgraded their system and our Windows and QuickBooks were too old and we would need to upgrade our hard drive, windows and QuickBooks version. We upgraded everything (NOT CHEAP). Found out later our hard drive was more than adequate. Also found out they entered NO CUSTOMER ACCOUNT INFORMATION INTO QUICKBOOKS, no bank reconciliations were done either. It should have been a red flag when they asked for payment up front too. When I kept asking for the information they just kept sending the completed tax forms when I was was waiting for the QuickBooks data. Matthew emailed stating he didn't understand what I needed, so I gave up. If you don't want to have to end up doing the work you pay somebody else to do, do not use this company. They are the worst accountants we have ever used and do not recommend them to anybody. If we could give negative zero stars we would. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Not only is he a true professional with deep industry knowledge, but he's also a trusted friend who genuinely had my best interests at heart throughout the entire process. From the beginning, Eddy took the time to walk me through every detail of the loan process. He broke everything down in a way that was easy to understand and always made sure I felt comfortable and informed before moving forward. As someone who didn't know much about mortgages going in, I can't overstate how valuable that was. He answered all my questions -- big or small -- with patience and clarity, and never once made me feel like I was in over my head. What makes Eddy stand out is his honesty and dedication. He wasn't just trying to "get the deal done" -- he truly cared about helping me make the best financial decision for my future. He kept me updated every step of the way, helped me explore all my options, and made sure I fully understood what I was signing and why. Eddy's guidance made a complex process feel manageable, and his support gave me real peace of mind. I always knew I could count on him to be straightforward, transparent, and available when I needed him. Thanks to him, I'm now a happy homeowner -- and I couldn't have done it without his help. If you're looking for someone you can trust completely, who will treat you like a friend and guide you every step of the way, I can't recommend Eddy enough!

CAUGHT IN A WEB OF USURY LAW: Warning to Consumers OR…read morePotential Clients: This agency presents itself as a "professional" California debt collection company, but our experience exposed serious problems that every consumer or potential client should know: * Zombie Debt Purchases: Creative Recovery Concepts, Inc. pursue dead, or expired debts that were already sold off multiple times -- sometimes years after the original creditor closed which makes summons illegal. * No Notices or Disclosures: Before demanding money, they failed to provide proper notices, disclosures, or validation of the debt. * Threats Without Authority: Non-attorney staff made intimidating legal threats over the phone, including inflated balances that were never explained and violation of privacy. * Usury Concerns: In California, charging above the legal interest rate is prohibited. Yet they referenced rates far exceeding state law caps. * Unlawful Practices: Instead of following consumer protection laws, they relied on pressure tactics, misstatements, and misrepresentations. A truly professional agency would validate debts, follow the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and comply with California usury limits. Instead, this outfit appears to exploit confusion and fear. Consumers should be cautious. Always demand written proof, check your credit reports, and confirm court filings directly with the courthouse before responding to any demand. Good luck we look forward to taking them to court and you should to, use your resources to research and question anything they do. Especially if they took your money without notice. Red Flags in CRC's Website Statement "Although taking legal action is always a last resort, it is oftentimes necessary. We will only sue after we first obtain your written authorization." If they sued in 2022/2023 without the true creditor's ownership or proper standing, this is fraud. Claiming they only sue with "authorization" is contradicted by your case, where Grassy Sprain had already sold the debt in 2021. "CRC pays all Court Costs and Attorney's Fees." This suggests they finance litigation for their clients -- champerty (illegal in some jurisdictions if they don't have ownership). If they're filing lawsuits without standing, they're essentially fronting costs to create fraudulent judgments. "Our 'Large Balance' collectors specialize in legal collections... each collector has more legal experience than most Legal Collection Managers." Debt collectors are not lawyers. If they are holding themselves out as having "legal experience" but aren't licensed attorneys, that's unauthorized practice of law (UPL). That is illegal under California law. "Customers are hiding, hoping not to be found... not eager to pay us for the amounts they owe." This is hostile, derogatory, and prejudicial language toward consumers. Suggests intent to intimidate rather than negotiate in compliance with FDCPA/California Rosenthal Act. "Our staff specializes in locating assets (real estate, bank accounts, wages, autos, etc.)." This reads like they're boasting about skip-tracing and asset-hunting, but that's only lawful after a valid judgment. If the judgment itself is void, then any asset-hunting is invasion of privacy and unlawful enrichment. "Legal Collections is an art, and our collectors are artists in their craft." They literally admit their business model is built on litigation and intimidation -- not on fair collection practices AND creatively UNDERHANDED.
