I signed with them (bella) in june 2008; they filed bankruptcy in may 2010 after settling one credit card; they owe me $4000. They filed chapter here in texas and re-opened in delaware under mt view financial with the same owner, same employees- same office! I went in personally and they acted like they didn't know me, i have called and e-mailed owner mike hauser and rita moore-barber repeatedly. I filed an ag complaint and bbb. Bbb doesn't help much, hope the ag does. They do not have the professionalism to respond and they even spelled "consulting " wrong on their website...

i plan to ensure that they have zero customers from here on.


Finally got a reply from owner; said the government has made it impossible to run a business; vote Republican, and he "wishes he could refund my money" and will "roll me over" to the current company and give my account the utmost attention.
I questioned the subterfuge and why they didn't offer to do this in the first place....

I don't think so. A very expensive lesson learned.

Latest update:

Mike Hauser finally called me last week- very amiable, talked about how he "hated" to do this, he has loyal employees, they didn't know what to tell me when I called/e-mailed/came in personally to the office... I wondered why they all ran to the back like deer in the headlights and said he "might be in Michigan" at that time.

I subsequently flooded their phones (which are never answered, they go straight to VM) and their website with requests to hear from someone, anyone..... he said his employees kept coming to him and telling him I wasn't going away, which was true.

When I questioned all the subterfuge, he said that his lawyers advised him that he couldn't refund my money (or anyone else's) although he would "sure like to write me a personal check" but "it would be illegal."
He is quite a slick guy and I am sure people fall for it, since he is very friendly. I never dealt with him before.

He then generously offered to do his utmost to settle my remaining account "even though we aren't supposed to"; I told him that there is not trust here and I have already dealt with my creditors, which I should have done in the first place.

I do not believe that he can't give me a refund "due to legal issues" and when I read the bankruptcy documents, I am even more convinced that they are criminals.
I already filed as a claimant to the suit and a complaint with the AG. I am sure nothing will come of it.

My thinking is that I have learned a VERY expensive lesson!
