In August of 2004 I ordered the realestae program from Carlton Sheets. Within two weeks I knew I didn't want to keep it so I called them to let them know I was going to send it back. They were very pleasant on the phone and told me that since I had called so early on that as long as it was back by sometime in the first week in October. They had it back in thier office before October 7th. I am disabled and dependent on others to take me to the post office, and then I had a setback physically so I didn't get to the post office until October 1st. The next thing I knew they were withdrawing $110 monthly untill they had all they wanted. I got a letter telling me that I had not sent it back in time and if I wanted they could send the program back to me since I had to pay for it anyway. I am still trying to get my money, but after reading all of the complaints against them, it doesn't look promising.

I ordered Carlton's No Money Down course about a year and a half ago on the $9.99 trial offer. When I ordered I was upsold on some product from another company. This other product was supposed to be billed at$8.00 per month for 12 months. I received the course in about 4 days just as promised. However, instead of $8.00 per month my credit card was billed $96.00 within 1 week after I received the course. When I called back to complain about the charges I was told that they never told me it would be billed at $8.00 per month and that I misunderstood. Liars! Whatever confidence I may have had in Carlton Sheet's integrity was instantly gone. Fortunately I have a very good bank and they agreed to reverse the charges on my card. As for the crooks selling Carlton Sheets' course, they gave me the run-around when I tried to return it. They refused to give me an authorization number to return the course and promised my an additional 30 days to try the course at no charge. Then they immediately tried to charge my card for $125.00. I simply closed my bank account and opened another one; one to which they did not have the number. I'll never trust these people again. There may be some honest ones out there but after this experience I am afraid to trust any of them.

I ordered the course just as everyone else. I called prior to my 30 day trial offer ended and got a return Auth. I sent the course back and calle dto let them know. About 2 weeks later I was charged $142.00.I called to to find out what the problem was and customer service then told me they never got it. I called UPS and it was tracked to being signed for by someone at Calton Sheets and someone from UPS called the customer service number and faxed them a copy of the del. ticket. I then spoke with a manager and they told me she couldnt find the course but due to having a reciept they would credit me back no later than 2 weeks from the time of our conversation. On the 2 week mark I called my bank to insure it was credited only to find out that they had deducted another $114.00. I then called customer service but only to be treated like a thief! The guy that I spoke with told me "sorry we never got it!" I told him of the conversation I had with the Manager and that UPS had called them to let them know it was sent and it was received by them. I told him I didnt think it was very nice to treat people this way he then told me "I dont think its nice to steal my course!" I just about died!!! I would say in short this course and the people behind it are awful!!! They lie and steal your money. I called the DA in IL and filed a complaint, it may not do any good but if enough people do it we may be able to save someone else from felling for this scam!!

I was currently fired from PIE who works for Sheets and I was fired because I got in my bosses face about how the customers are treated and scammed. Sorry to all who have had to deal with this. STAY AWAY, THIS IS A SCAM!!!

5/5/05 I just got a call from a collection agency saying that I had slipped through the cracks and that I owed a payment of 69.95. They would not say who they where from, only a collection agency. I paid for the course in full and did not use a credit card to do so, and if I did, I don't have it any longer. They then said that they would show the account in dispute. As I thought about it, I think this is a new scam!Watch out, as I think they are after credit card numbers.

You want to be charged and charged and charged until they are stopped by you closing your account then get Carltons infomercial Program! My bank account was just charged 2 95.47 today and tbis is suppose to be a monthly payment .. The woman I talked to said my payments were to be paid on the 4th ..Well lets see my bill says the 7th..Nice huh?? This account i only use to pay items I get so i keep no extra money in it..It is seperate from our household acount..So now this so called monthly payment system just cost me 64.00 in bank fees.. DO NOT GET THIS PROGRAM unless YOU CAN PAY ALL AT ONCE!!!If you get payments they will take till you stop them

I ordered the Carlton Sheets Program and it took 2 1/2 weeks to get to me. I even forgot I ordered it. I looked at it for 2 weeks and decided it wasent for me. I called to get return # and the service was very poor and very unprofessional. They would not take my package back because they said I was past the 30 days and when I explained I didnt receive the package for a long time after I ordered it the woman got real defensive and told me that wasent their problem. But then she told me I was within the grace period but my grace period would be up before the package would reach them so they were going to charge me anyway and then I got mad. I just gave them a piece of my mind and paid my credit card up and cancelled the card. Now I get snail mail from PIE about how I owe them $329. Not and if I see it come up on my credit report I will do something about that. I would never buy anything from this company or any affiliates. Professional business is not run in this manner. The program wasent anyone on the internet couldnt research and find out for FREE anyway. If you want to know what is in it I will tell you and even give you the good information out of the product just email me.

We ordered Carleton Sheets in 2004 for the trail period. We returned unopened product before the trial period ended. They billed us before 30 days was up on our credit card. They told me that everything was great, no worries. The next statement we noticed another payment was taken from our account. Plus a $9.95 fee was charged for the call I made to them regarding our problem. 2 weeks later, they refunded 114.00. I called them about the other charges, was put on hold for a very long time, they told me they NEVER took the 2nd payment although I have my statement. I have yet to get credit for the other payment and AGAIN~ they scammed me for another $9.95 when I called asking about THEIR mistake. UNETHICAL BUSINESS MAN~ I wonder how many more people he has SCREWED out of their money??? I am sure EVENTUALLY they will get theirs. We can all prove what we're saying~ ISN'T THIS BLATENT THEFT BY DECEPTION?

Just got a bill (5/10/05) from a collection agency call Pinnacle Financial Group for the amount of 149.00. The bill has very little information about who has contracted them to collect, but did say AMS and offers a 800 number to call. After a couple of calls they finally answer. After asking for a supervisor, I am told this is a change for a partial payment of $149.00 back in 1999 that was never billed. I am told that this was an accounting error that slipped through the cracks. That's 6 years ago. This person can't even tell me which credit card I used and I sure don't have any statements from that far back. The person can not even offer a contact number for me to call. Has anyone had this happen? I think this a scam, but what if is not? I can't believe any company would have this poor of accounting practices to stoop so low to attempt to collect something that old.

Purchased over 4 years ago. May of 2005 I receive a notice from a collection agency stating I owe 104.90.. The collection agency is PFG or Minnesota, they were very rude and not cooperative. They stated I have to prove from 4 years ago that my credit card was billed. I asked who keeps records that far back and the person did not want to hear what I was asking and hung up. It appears from what I am reading, this Carlton Sheets company is not on the level. Beware.

I ordered the product. They sent it. I gave them my credit card and they deducted 83.00 3 times. I returned the product in the alloted time but they said I did not. What do you do? I have to cancel my credit card and get a new one. It is wrong that I can not even deny the charges. They have to know somebody. I want them to send the program back, since I paid for it. When I get it back, I will sell on e-bay. anyone else that has to keep it should sell on e-bay and get something out of it. The DVD's said the same thing over and over again what they say on the infomercial. It does not give any real usable information. PLEASE DO NOT GET THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!

I bought the Course back in 1999. Nothing I could use. I wasted $300, but learned a valuble lesson, never to buy anything from an infomerical. I have to admit their infomercials are very convincing. About 3 years ago I started getting phone calls form collection agencies saying I owed them money. I told them I didn't oew them money and that I wouldn't give them a dime. They went away and did not report it to nay credit bureau. Now I am getting calls from a computer six years later saying to call "Sean Lee' at a toll free number. When you call there is no Sean Lee. It a collection agancy saying I owe PEI $69.95 from 6 years ago, but they are willing to settle with me for $50. I think it's a scam to get your credit card number. I told them to go shit in their hat and not to call me again. They said if want them not to call again I have to write to them with a request not to call.

I ordered his course and found a lot of information gaps. He says it's a step by step guide but I found it not to be. I bought a book from Amazon.com on how to invest in property and the book told me pretty much the same thing as Carlton's course, plus other stuff that I didn't know. I could have slapped myself. It never occoured to me to go to a library first.

I ordered the Carlton Sheets package from the informercial number this morning. After reading these complaints, I decided this is not the product for me. So four hours after I ordered this product, I called the customer service number and advised them I was cancelling my order and to not ship the product to me. The customer service representative advised me that that I would need to call back tomorrow because I would not show up in their computer for 24 hours. She then told me that typically the packages are sent to the shipper within 24 hours and that if I called tomorrow it would be too late to cancel it. I advised her that I would be sending it back. Based on everyone's complaints here, I did call my credit card company and closed my account. I wish I had read these complaints before I ordered the package. Thanks to everyone!!

I am outraged.... I wish I had read these other complaints before I ordered this crap. I received my first bill before I even received the program. I never opened the box and called two weeks after finally receiving it. After telling the guy on the phone that I didnt want this and I wanted to know how to return it as I knew if I didnt return it the "proper" way, I would be assed out. Well he proceeded to tell me that the computers were down but he would give me an extended grace period of 30 days. I then received a bill in the mail from "The Hume Group" staing I owed almost $600 more. When I called to find out what these charges were for, a rude woman told me I had ordered it. I told her to prove I did, she told me to prove I didnt! Can you believe that? This is America, and Americans dont take things laying down. Why are we simply writing about this, why arent we getting together and taking action. This is a scam and I see that ALL of the collection agencies invovled are different and it would seem they are passing our information around to each other. This is ridiculous. Lets stand up for ourselves... Write me at... @hotmail.com I am not afraid of these people, as a matter of fact they should fear the power of the American people when we unite!

I ordered the package from a tv ad. they said it would be there in 3 to 5 weeks. well about a month went by and they called and i told them i hadnt recieved it yet. well a week or so later they called and said some one signed for the package of a different last name up in the office. so i went up to the office and they told me they didnt have any package for me. well another week or so went by and they called wondering why a 200 some dollar payment was declined from my debit card and i told them i didnt have money in there because i never reciceved the package. so ups called a couple days later and said they had the package and i told them to send it back to sender. well i get a letter a few weeks later saying that they cant refund the 9.95 or stop me from having to buy the program when i never recived it, never was opened or anything. i dont want it never got it and am willing to take whatever steps necesarry to stop them from trying to force me to buy the product I DONT EVEN CARE about the 9.95 anymore!! HELP

Well, I am surely glad to find this place with so very useful reviews, and definately won't buy anything in the future before reading the reviews here. Of course I learned it the hard way after buying the "no downpayment" baloney and now having these collection agency API calling and saying my credit card is rejecting a charge...my husband and I paid the program in full, but now they say there is a pending payment and that's just as false as their "now downpayment" theory which doesn't work nowadays anyway. They are also calling to get us into the "Coaching program" which is just a way for them to get some easy $2000 or more out of people for absolutely nothing. If you like real estate, forget about this course, go to a real estate school and you will learn all the truth there is to it and later get your broker license to start your real estate business, there's just no way around that. Anyway BUYERS BEWARE of these scam.

I feel as if we all need to do a huge lawsuit . There are so many people that have paid their money for the course and it is still sitting in the box because they were forced to buy the course after ordering it . After reading these complaints , it seems as if everyone has had the same problems. I've even had personal coaches to call and try to get me to pay them thousands of dollars for them to coach me through the first sale. If i had money i would not have ordered this course. I am really to embarrased to let my family and friends know that i was such a big sucker. Any top attorneys out there to this on.
