Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2014/10/08) */
Number 1 I have no finacial difficulties lets get that straight.
#2 [redacted] did hire us to help him out of a jam because the first contractor he hired jumped on him so I bailed him out He hired us for 2 PROJECTS at the store , then asked...

about 2 more projects or basicaly to finish the project(drywall and painting) at first our price was high and my lead guy that was working there got his friend to come in and do the drywall.but he to skiped out on [redacted] to. My lead guy asked me what I can do to help [redacted] .I gave my lead guy the price and he said [redacted] would go for it. When I went back to [redacted] to get my initial money he gave it to me and we talked about the painting [redacted] and I agreed to a price $2400 and his in law was right there with us when the agreement happened. I left and [redacted] called me back and said he gave me extra money and I looked at the check while driving and said yes you did ,and I said why dont you just leave that as the deposit so you dont have to write another check that would be for the deposit for the painting. HE SAID FINE NO PROBLEM. He would call me when to come back and start the work.after a while I passed by the store from the main road and saw my workers van there, upon returning I drove by the door and saw [redacted] along with a painter of mine inside the front door hanging out talking , I just drove away because I was shocked and didnt know what to say at the moment. I went back the following day (Saturday) morning 1020ish am and found my lead guy working in there alone without my knowlge doing work that my company does and then saw the painting done and then finding out that my plumber and other carpenters were working in there They said my lead guy asked them to do it and it was going to help my company with the other work, they did not know that they were working behind my back except for the painter who is very good friends with the lead guy. In my professional opinion I lost out on over $9000 dollars of work that my men stole from my company when [redacted] hired my lead guy. [redacted] renaged on the job but continued to use my men. So that is the whole story and I attest to this responce and all information that I given I will bring in witnesses to attest to this to prove my story .So that is the reason for my not giving back the deposit , he reneged and I felt that was the least amount do the company for being stabbed in the back by [redacted] and my X workers
I have attempted to call [redacted] on 10-8-14 at 1154 am to discuss this matter and have not received a call back yet as it is now 150 pm
Well as I am writing this [redacted] called back at 151pm 12/8/14
I started the conversation off by asking him straight out about the conversation we had about the job > [redacted] did we not have a verbal agreement in the store in front of you dad (father in law he said )that I was going to do the painting for you for $2400 , YES he said and did you agree that when you called me to tell me you over paid me and I looked at the check for the first time and I said yes, I suggested that instead of writing up a new check I will use this as a deposit for the paint job ? FINE NO PROBLEM he said . Then he twisted and turned words and I went back at him, He said that he hired a drywall company out of elgin to do the work and when they got there they asked who was doing the painting , he replied ( his words ) no one yet it depends on the price > well needles to say he went ahead to gave them the job with out informimg me or giving me the courtesy to ask me to meet if I can match or do better on our agreement. He just gave them the job and then after almost a couple of months (not 100% sure of exact)he calls asking for his deposit back, I am a buisness man and a old fashion moral man I had a verble agreement with [redacted] , He agreed and since we have done the other projects on the property to me it was clear he trusted me and I trusted him to do the job , A deposit shows good faith in my world period . The end of the discusion was left open on my side and I told him I would get back to him ( in no specific time table ) I need to digest this conversation Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2014/10/10) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
[redacted] has made this a personal issue. It is a simple business deal. He has repeatedly made remarks as to me " not being a man". Not sure how that is good business. [redacted] feels that we had a contract, and that based on his summation he is able to after 3 days keep my money. I did point out to him, that in order to be a contract it would need to have a start date, end date, and any clauses about not returning any monies paid. He said he's old school and that we had an agreement. I'm sure that there is some miscommunication or misunderstanding. His response is that I should talk to one of his former employees and get my money back? I did point out that my check was made to AaaBR and that any of my dealings should be with him.
As for his claims of $9000 worth of work, he is very mistaken. Maybe he needs the $9000 of work that badly. There was never any talk of that kind of work, besides an estimate that was given to me for an absurd amount of money. I declined and had to look elsewhere. [redacted] is attempting to base his story on here say and second or third person information. All of which have nothing to do with the fact that AaaBR was given a check for $1083.99 and work was not performed.
I repeatedly called [redacted] on two different phone numbers as well as [redacted]. I did my best to contact him. [redacted] told me that he was unable to return my calls because he was upset. I feel that [redacted] inability to handle his personal emotions has in this case clouded his business decision making.
There are a few facts here and those should be used to determine this case:
AaaBR / [redacted] was paid $1083.88
He did not perform work
He is electing to keep this money
He has no claims to this money other than he feels he is owed it.
Final Consumer Response /* (4200, 21, 2014/11/06) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
The only good faith here is to return the money. If [redacted] can produce an agreement or contract to back up ANYTHING he is saying, then by all means keep my money. [redacted] just doesn't get it, and from the rest of the issues his business is having currently, including owing more people money, I'm not surprised that he is struggling with this basic concept.
Let me spell this out ONE MORE TIME for those that didn't get it before.
[redacted] and his company AaaBR owe me $1083.88. There is no behind the back nonsense. He was overpaid and I want my money back. He did not do any work for the overpayment. Not asking, and nor do I care about [redacted] good faith. I'm Not budging on this because he owes me $1083.88. There is no in between. He has NO LEGAL claim to my money, in anyway what so ever, and for him to think any different is completely absurd.
It's apparent that this venue is a complete waste of time. Consider this complaint unsolved.
