  • A CBS 5 investigation found customer after customer of [Ray] Jeter's [...] loan modification company [...] complaining his company took their money and didn't deliver on its promises. [...] And anyone who wants money back from Jeter may have little chance of ever seeing it. Jeter's filed for bankruptcy.
