FDRS charged customers 30% of their total debt with 10% to be paid in the first 2 months.........standard front-end weighted scam. I was scammed by FDRS, and now I am working with a Private Investigator to make sure we track down Cella and hold him accountable. My PI believes that Cella will surface again with a new scam company, I have a group of 9 ex-customers that are going to join with me to sue Mark A Cella. Tom321 please keep an eye out for Mark Cella he is a criminal who will receive justice!
Mark Cella's criminal acts
They may have moved their offices to Burbank. Still checking. They, FDRS, Mark Cella, et al, are being investigated by the Dept of Justice.
Please don't give up Tom321. Thank you for your efforts.
I will be back to post any info I can find.

We urge caution. This company's website advertises that it provides financial freedom to those in debt. They use photos of famous past presidents, an American eagle symbol, and purport to be patriots disillusioned with the banking system in the US who have taken on the dangerous and vital task of educating the American public to the truth. This company is not affiliated with the US Government.
We advise caution against sending money to this company. Our experience with similar offers has been that they attract heavily indebted clients by claiming to be able to settle the clients???????? debts for far less than the amount owed and to stop creditors???????? calls. They often claim, also, that their services are more effective than those provided by credit counseling services.
These companies usually instruct their clients to stop paying their creditors. Some companies direct them to make their payments to the debt negotiation company instead and promise, when the company has accumulated enough to offer a cash settlement to one or more creditors (which can take as long as two or three years), to pay off the debt. The debtor must pay fees to the service during the time the payments are accumulating.
Other companies simply collect the fees and advise debtors to save their money to pay their creditors themselves. California law limits the amount of fees debt negotiators can charge you, but by not collecting the money and distributing it to your creditors for you, companies can remove themselves from the limiting statutes and charge whatever they wish. What they are supposed to do for you while you????????re saving up your money is to contact your creditors and inform them that they????????re working with you, negotiate the amount to settle your debt, and ask them stop contacting you.
However the company operates, though, complainants allege that creditors continue to harass them, fees and interest continue to accumulate, the companies do not contact the creditors, creditors increase their collection efforts and sometimes sue for payment, the debtor????????s credit is ruined, and they end up worse than before they contacted the service.
Debtors may not realize that if their creditors do accept a negotiated settlement, the amount forgiven constitutes taxable income.
Complainants allege unfulfilled contracts, misappropriation of funds, and misrepresentation of services. Customers complain they send monthly amounts to the company believing their bills were being paid, when in fact; no bills were paid on their behalf. Other complainants report they are advised not to deal with their creditors, but soon find themselves being sued for the amount of the debt. Most complainants request refunds. The company responds to most complaints by disputing complaint allegations, and accusing the customer of failing to comply with the terms and conditions of their agreement. The company reminds clients that the contract makes no guarantees to the success of the program.
Yeah I heard of this operation a few months back. The rubbish on their site is CLASSIC distraction. It's hard to keep track of people because they use aliases or front men but I'll try. It's easier to keep track of companies themselves.
Oh and THANK YOU for the support. Sometimes I need to hear that there are people behind me. Thanks again.

I have been warning people about these deutsch bags @ FDRS for quite some time. I am glad to see that the law seems to be finally catching up with Mark " the con-artist" Cella.
Mark A. Cella is a douche!
See you in court, Mark Cella. I'm on board with the Dept. of Justice with so many others that you have burned. Better practice tossing that salad, Mark. You'll be doing a lot of it where you're going!
Loser, Liar, Thief, Con-Artist, Criminal.
Mark A. Cella, the douche
P.S.
Mobile, I know you have been warning others for a long time. I wish I would have known then what I know now. I applaud your tenacity. I also have noticed Christine's dedication. Thank you both. And Tom321, thank you. I respect people that choose to do the right thing, in this case alerting strangers to the criminal behavior of Mark Cella and his followers. I can't even imagine how many families you have saved with your efforts.

Tom321 I wanted to let you know that Mark A Cella refers to himself as the FDRS CEO and founder on one of his articles online. I will get the cached copy so that you can see that Cella is trying to distance himself from any responsibility regarding his involvement in forgery and conspiracy against I believe Chase Bank. Mark Cella will do time for the forgery.

That's a misleading post midget freak, and you know it. FDRS is NOT in Wyoming. That's an old address. Anyone who thoroughly investigates knows it.
