This was left as a comment on an article here about United First Financial (UFF) and their Money Merge Account (MMA). Tracy, I wish I had read this earlier, like 2 months earlier. I did a Google search for paying down mortgages, and came across UFF’s Money Merge Account. I …
Anyone who has spent some time on this site knows I’m no fan of the United First Financial Money Merge Account (UFF MMA). This “revolutionary” software is supposed to help you pay off your mortgage in record time, all for the low, low price of $3,500. Unfortunately, it’s being marketed …
More than a year after I started to write about the evils of United First Financial, its representatives are still trying to dazzle the crowds with bogus claims of factorial math. It’s become clear that the primary method for selling consumers on this ridiculously expensive software that the consumer doesn’t …
One of the credibilty builders (i.e. smokescreens) that United First Financial agents use when trying to sell their Money Merge Account is… “It’s based on the Australian banking system!” The claim is that this “system” has been used successfully in Australia for years, and so we should believe in it …
Today a seller of the United First Financial Money Merge Account product threw out a challenge: Show him how a simple spreadsheet can pay off a mortgage faster than MMA. He said that his client owed $200,000 on a mortgage, and with only $200 “extra” cash left each month after …
There is plenty of criticism here of United First Financial, Ufirst Financial, UFF, Money Merge Account, MMA, or whatever Google likes… One of the arguments UFF supporters always seem to throw out is the “money back guarantee” that UFF gives. I’ve been critical of this guarantee here, because I think …
What a simple, yet eloquent explanation from one of our readers on the read deal behind UFF’s Money Merge Account (MMA). UFF is a SCAM. Borrowing at 8% to cover 6% loan will make you less money. Paying down your mortgage directly (instead of using HELOC) will put you ahead.
United First Financial management has asked its agents to not participate on discussion forums, message boards, and blogs. Why? Because they’re having their hats handed to them. Simple math outdoes the UFF “factorial math” any time. Save the $3,500 and simply put your extra cash each month toward your debt …
Today I received some interesting information on United First Financial, the company selling the $3,500 Money Merge Account. Here is a listing of all UFF agents (warning: large file download), showing that there are 59,703 agents on the rolls. The fee to sign up as an agent is $175. Multiply …
Haven’t gotten enough of the cold hard reality that United First Financial’s MMA is inferior to a very simple (and free!) do-it-yourself prepayment of your mortgage (which only requires you to pay extra on your mortgage once a month)? Joe Taxpayer did a five-part series on the UFF MMA, and …
