In the beginning he said he LOVED our music and that GOD had TOLD HIM to work with us to record it all. We were to pay him $360 a month every month until they were all finished. In the agreement we were supposed to APPROVE his work before accepting it as the FINAL MASTER. This man took 7 months to even start to finish the 12 songs that the agreement stated he needed to finish in 2 months plus he changed the melody lines of our music, did not do the music correctly, he was THE WORST person we have ever worked with musically EVER! He is ATE up with PRIDE so much that he does not even hear what the client wants he thinks everything he wants to do is "THE GOSPEL"! When we told him about the changes he was making he FORCED the changes on us basically by NEVER doing what we asked him to do, but only lingering it out so long until we got so frustrated that he was NEVER getting done that we had to take what we could get for the money we had given him. We wisened up by the 2nd month to what was happening and backed out of doing any more songs with him but then he even took longer since we were not part of his monthly meal ticket anymore. When I finally demanded he finish the work (7 months later) he put us down, told me that I had demon spirits and put our music down saying it was not good and TACKED GOD ON IT of course! I guess GOD must have changed his mind from the beginning about Keith Loving our music and about it being HIS CALLING to work with our music. :) This man is a POOR EXCUSE of a Christian and HORRIBLE Business owner! He does NOT care what the client desires, only what he wants to do. He even told my husband that out of all of the years of recording that he has NEVER been wrong about anything! When he finally sent us the project, one song is so bad we can not even use it and he sent one song without any vocals on it at all. Plus after he started getting the monthly payment even though he had not finished the months songs before, he started demanding payment for the next month when he had shoved our project on the back burner as he was taking many more projects to support his "ministry and his family". So what he is doing is taking tons of work demanding money upfront and not finishing the work in a timely manner and not producing the music in the way it was written. Plus he charges to be on his music label or to be affliated with his Music Group. So anyone that charges for things like that is a Scammer! DO NOT HIRE HIM FOR YOUR PROJECT!

Use the credit card chargeback feature and use all the fraudulent stories that you can find so you can get a refund. Lesson #2: If you didn't use your credit card, then make sure you do in the future. I learned my lesson when DesignsByTara charged me upfront $900 for a website design, and after 3 mockups - my 6th graders could be a better job. I asked for a refund - and Psycho Tara came out. I never got my money back even though I cancelled after a week. I never received ANYTHING from DesignsByTara and I have never paid with a check again! It has come in handy, too. I was at a big seminar when one of the guru's asked me, "Why didn't you just email me for a refund?" I said, "I didn't know you were involved in that sale!" He was pretty peeved because I never received my product after 9 months of asking for it and American Express Black Card came through with a chargeback. Instant refund. My point is this: I believe in right and wrong. If I purchased something, and I know it was valuable or I didn't use it - if I'm out of the refund period, then that's my loss. I'm not going to whine or cry over something that is right. If I purchased something that was done "in the wrong", then no matter what - I am owed a refund. (which in this case, you are owed a refund) Right and Wrong - it's easy to spot!!! Lesson #1: Chargeback. Use the credit card chargeback feature and use all the fraudulent stories that you can find so you can get a refund.

Lesson #2: If you didn’t use your credit card, then make sure you do in the future.

Instant refund.

My point is this:

I believe in right and wrong.

If I purchased something, and I know it was valuable or I didn’t use it – if I’m out of the refund period, then that’s my loss. I’m not going to whine or cry over something that is right.

If I purchased something that was done “in the wrong”, then no matter what – I am owed a refund. (which in this case, you are owed a refund)

Right and Wrong – it’s easy to spot!!!

When a LeapFish salesperson called I thought I could hold my spot and research it...then was told that according to California law that I could not get a refund on my CC. At that point I thought I would just try to make the best of it hoping to get a return on my investment - the salesperson said that I could sell my spot but suggested I hold onto it while some good things where developing with their company. I even got charged a renewal even though it was not yet a year and was told that was LeapFish's policy. I did try contacting the attorney you had suggested on your site and he said to get my own attorney - it sounded like he was not pursuing any class action suit. So if you or anyone hears other news about LeapFish I would love to know about it!!! Thanks! I found your site when I Googled to see if I had any recourse.
