Mr. Grenardo promised that the two groups would be approved a Renovation loan in the amount of $770,000.00 but there will be some upfron costs to both groups of a toal of $12,500.00 divided by both groups. Mr. Grenardo guaraneed that when the bank approved the loan that group would be reimbursed for the upfron monies that was given to him to cover expenses. Mr. Grenardo stated that due to the fact the the building in paid for in full and it was a Landmark in the area there would be no issues in getting a loan and he took personal information from the head of each group (social security numbers, place of employment and tax information etc.)
He meet with the gruop in May 2016 and collected $3,500.00 from Excelsior Chapter No. 1 and Blazing Star Lodge. He then met with the group again in June 2016 and requested another $3,500.00 from each group. When the groups inquired/questioned why mor money, again he stated that it as upfront expenses. Mr. Grenardo has promised each group that there would be a closing with the Lending Bank on August 18, 2016. However, there was no meeting or closing for the loan on August 18, 2016. Instead he called a meeting with the two groups in the beginning of September 2016 to inform the Group that there was a delay with the Bank and he would keep the members updated. As of to date Mr. Grenardo has Not responded to the members phone calls and requests for the refund of the monies paid to Caricom Funding Group Inc. and Eclipse Funding Group Inc. We need our money back as our Bank account is now at a few dollars balance in the account.
