2015-08-20 10:04:00 Our agency works with CDR in their pooled trust program. Have had many problems with CDR- Sending late rent- no follow-up on problem resolution. Sent money to CDR for a mutual client, that they were not entitled to because they passed away- notified CDR in May of 2015. Now it is August 2015, and we are still waiting for them to return the funds. Every time I call to check on the status of the return of funds, I have to explain the story all over again. They keep saying "It's being processed." But, it's not. —Tbigongi
