Clear Capital Rocks

With all that is said negatively about BPO Mills I wanted to send a shout out to Clear Capital. Not only do they pay a fair fee for their service they pay quickly. I did three BPO's for them recently and got a check for all three within about…

"They also promise $75.00 for a rush and they tell you it did not pass QC so they can't pay you and then they send your COMPLETED BPO to the vendor. These guys are crooks. I am getting a ton of orders from Corelogic, IAS, and Clear Capital and they…"
