I declined myself because it comes with a lot of baggage in the form of very unhappy former Express Pardons clients. But if a competitor has bought the number maybe there was some kind of deal made to keep the website going for the extra promotion.<\/p>\n<p>Since I already get enough people calling me about this company I decided that the toll free number was not for us even if it meant losing a bit of extra potential business. I also just don&#8217;t want to be associated with <a title=\"Express Pardons Should Do The Right Thing\" href=\"\/?p=2951\">Express Pardons <\/a>at all.<\/p>\n<h2>Express Pardons &#8211; What to learn?<\/h2>\n<p>This is just a point of curiosity for me but it is a caution those of you out there who might still be in the market to find a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalpardon.org\">pardon and waiver service provider<\/a>. Just be careful who you trust. Check BBB ratings. Verify RCMP accreditations, etc. Do your homework and you should be able to find a company you feel comfortable with and that will provide you with the level of service you deserve.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t feel like doing your homework give me a call personally.
