This is addressed to [redacted] Response is paragraph by paragraph and I have emails and call records to back up everything stated belowSince you have all the emails you can verify what I am about to state by the dates on the emailsI would be happy to send you copies if needed Paragraph 1: No Issue Paragraph 2: A few flaws here; [redacted] stated in an email on April that "all units are in good working order and can be rented out at a moments notice." This means that they are in "rent ready" or "work ready" condition This was the foundation of which I agreed to pay $each for all four 65's provided they were in fact in "good working order"The price was negotiated via email and over the phone prior to May 7, When I arrived on May to purchase the units we found that only one of them was in promised condition That is to say, they were not in "rent ready condition" Regardless, I agreed to buy all of them for the agreed upon price even though, as I told [redacted] at the time, they are really only worth $3,to $3,$4,is what I agreed to, so I stood by my word [redacted] acknowledged that they were not in the condition he described and would see to it that they were all brought up to "work ready" condition Regarding the one non-runner in dispute, he agreed that it would be "running well"Based on the condition that I have personally witnessed and described in emails, I do not see how it could possibly be running at all and certainly not "running well" or in "work ready" conditionI can provide photo and video evidence of the compression test and distributor cap condition that would support my claim Paragraph 3: May [redacted] states in an email that "I will be in Vallejo tomorrow and will start to move chippers to Novato." You state that on June 5th we had this conflict about where and when to pick up the unitsThe fact is that [redacted] agreed on May to move the chippers to Novato, when we were in VallejoThis paragraph is a complete fabrication The chippers were not delivered to Novato for several weeks after the 5-emailWhy would he write this if the delivery location had not yet been established? On May 19, [redacted] called and we talked for minutesI think we talked about the chippers not being ready and he asked me if I would be willing to train his mechanics in proper servicing of chippers and stump grindersHe was clearly frustrated but I assured him timing wasn't an issue and I would be happy to show them some basics that they were missing This is the only call I have a record of to [redacted] in that period There must have been a later call from his cell, the number of which I do not have, when he would have told me the units were in NovatoAt that time, I asked him about the condition of the non-runnerHe said it was all fixed and running well I think [redacted] must be covering up for his own mistake hereI think on June 5th the chippers were still in Vallejo Again, I paid for these on May I believe they were not delivered to Novato until after June 5th Paragraph 4: No disagreementOnly to add that I had no reason to inspect them again since [redacted] had assured me they fixed the non-runner Paragraph 5: Another fabrication On July 6, I sent an email explaining the problemWe talked on the phone at some point several days later and [redacted] stated that he would have the Fleet Manager contact meHe never did as is evidence in the email I sent on July Furthermore, [redacted] has never asked for the serial #I would have given it to him if he did(Its ser# XXXXXX.) I have never talked to or heard from the Fleet Manager To say this all happened on July is a gross exaggerationIt took over weeks to get a meaningful response July email: "Hi [redacted] I have not heard from your fleet manager and its been two weeks I tore into that last chipper and found that it to has low compressionNot as low as the other one and its consistent so it sounds okI am rebuilding the top end on that one I'm still expecting to return this other one You and I had an agreement on these units and I am expecting you to make good on that agreementAgain, there is not way this one unit could have been running "well" With two cylinder at lbs and one at it would have been kicking like a mule I bet it took a lot of starter fluid to get going and I still have my doubts about it running at all with the distributor cap as it isIt could be possible I suppose but so unlikely Please talk to the manager again and explain to him what going on and have him call me Thanks p.sYou might want to tell you guys to change the blades and bed knives more often All of these were completely worn outThey couldn't have been chipping very well." Note the p.swere I noted the poor condition of the bladesAgain, not in " work ready condition" August emailAgain asking for a response to my claim of July 6, "Hi [redacted] I have not heard from anyone regarding this chipper and its been weeks This should not be a big dealI'll bring the machine back to Novato and you all can refund the $4, Please get back to me soon about this Thanks" Paragraph 6: August [redacted] finally respondsHere he is admitting to his response taking a long timeOVER WEEKS "Hello ***, Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to youI do appreciate your patienceI was having to do some investigation work on my end I talked with the mechanic who was in Vallejo working on the chippers the day before we delivered them As I stated before and witnessed all the chippers were working prior to deliveryI talked with our fleet manager numerous times (and he keeps pointing out) that if there was a problem with one of the chippers, and you notice the problem the next day or week, then taking the unit back wouldn't have been an issueYou sent me an email on 7/6/stating a problem with one of the chippers This email came to me two months after you bought and signed, numerous times on the line that the equipment is sold "AS IS"(contract attached) So [redacted] I am sorry but we will not be able to take the unit back or refund you your money." Your summary: -We all use "sold as-is" wording in our invoicesThat doesn't not void verbal contracts as you well know I could have had [redacted] write out a custom contract but I trusted him and he seemed stressed for time -You questioned why I didn't inspect the units when I picked them upBecause I trusted that [redacted] was telling me the truth -I have three people that will verify that we could not get the units started after trying for over hour - I never claimed anyone in Novato had anything do to with this other than providing a pickup location -No one ever asked about the serial numberThere were units, three were running one wasn'tSeems pretty simple This unit simply sat in my yard until July 6, when we started working on itNothing could have happened to it that would explain this discrepancyThis I promise youNothing happened to it in my care -Common practice between dealers is to accept returns when dealing with trusted colleagues -I also have all the emails, call records, photos and video evidence as well The rest is relatively irrelevant to this caseIf you are interested in all the emails, I can send them to you Bottom line is, if your accounting of events is what [redacted] has given you then [redacted] has skewed the truth [redacted] promised me a chipper that was "running well"What I received was a chipper that was not running at all and a bunch of delays and liesI originally made offers to compromise, but now I just want to return this machine I respectfully request that you refund me in full for this non-working machine or I'll have no other option but to pursue my legal rights in court for this breach of contract Final Business Response / [redacted] (4000, 23, 2015/11/19) */ Unless I hear otherwise, I will mail a check for the agreed upon amount in the name of [redacted] to the POBox listed in the complaint by 11/25/I am sorry for the misunderstanding in this matter and happy we could come to a resolution Sincerely, [redacted] Final Consumer Response / [redacted] (2000, 25, 2015/11/23) */ (The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.) Yes lets proceedIf you email me at [redacted] @svn.net I'll send you an invoice for the refund stating this completely resolves the issue You can make the check to California Tree Equipment, Inc Thank you

Initial Business Response / [redacted] (1000, 5, 2014/08/15) */ Contact Name and Title: [redacted] , CEO Contact Phone: XXX-XXX-XXXX Contact Email: [redacted] @allstarrents.com Email sent to customer: Thank you for using the Revdex.com portal to register your dissatisfaction for the resolution to your issues with All Star RentsI appreciate the opportunity to clear up any misunderstandings in your dealings with All Star RentsI apologize that we did not address them on the day you visited our locationI have spoken with the Branch Manager, [redacted] to get some clarification on the nuances of the transactions and have thoroughly reviewed the agreements you are referring to in your complaintThere are two separate agreements so I will address each one separatelyI have also attached a breakdown for your referenceI have focused on our base charges and have not focused on the EPP or taxes which are a fixed percentage of the charges I have addressed below Excavator Agreement #XXXXXX The difference on this agreement versus the signed reservation is for the fuel chargesOn all of our equipment rentals we charge for fuel used upon return of the equipmentFuel is not included in the rental and is explained in the notation under the description of that product on the agreementI do not see any grounds for a credit on this agreementAs a side note...there were hours of use put on this machineWe allow up to hours use in any hour period while on rentThere were no extra charges for this additional time to compensate for some overheating problems this machine had Skidsteer Agreement #XXXXXX The difference in this agreement versus the signed reservation is in three main areas: Rental charges: The signed reservation was for a period of 4pm Saturday until 8:30am MondayThis is a special offer we have since we are closed on Sundays - it allows to have the machine for greater than hours without extra feesThis unit was called off rent Tuesday at 4:06pmThis resulted in two additional days being charged (Monday AM (when first day ended) to Tuesday AM and then Tuesday AM to Tuesday PM)There were hours put on the machine which is commensurate with the time out and charged for Fuel: Same as the above contract...we filled up the unit and charged for fuel used Delivery: It is unclear why the delivery was increased from $to $I am willing to reduce this fee as there is no explanation why it was changed from the original reservation you signed I hope this explanation clears up any questions you have for the amount charged on the final agreements versus what you were charged as the time of reservationI have logged this response into the Revdex.com portalIf you have further questions please do not hesitate to call me directly Thank you, [redacted] All Star Rents Initial Consumer Rebuttal / [redacted] (3000, 7, 2014/08/18) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) Thank you for your response and detailed research I can certainly appreciate the fuel charges, thank you for the clarification As far as the additional two days equipment rent that you have been charging me for, I can unfortunately not agree with your assessment The agreement XXXXXX was as you correctly state, for a period of 4pm Saturday to 8:30am Monday As you can see on the contract, the rental agreement was not between me and AllStar but between a contractor and AllStarAll I did was provide my credit card to pay for the charges on the contract I as the homeowner have no control over whether or not the equipment was returned Monday afternoon or not, if anything this should be a discussion between AllStar and the contractor I have also been assured by said contractor that he had a conversation with your company and there were no additional charges for the additional time due to the time lost with the overheating excavator Lastly, even if your charges were applied correctly, at the very least you should have given me a call authorizing the additional funds As requested by the Revdex.com, I am to offer a middle groundMy middle ground is to split the two days extra charge, so you refund me for one day plus the delivery charge you already offered above Thanks again, [redacted] Final Business Response / [redacted] (4000, 9, 2014/08/21) */ Thank you for your response and I appreciate your willingness to negotiate a fair settlementI have processed your credit for $That is one day on the skidsteer plus the delivery plus the EPP and taxesIn the future, please do not hesitate to contact me directlyI do appreciate you giving All Star Rents the opportunity to make things right Regards, [redacted] All Star Rents Final Consumer Response / [redacted] (2000, 11, 2014/08/25) */ (The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.) Resolution offer is a fair compromise and the refund has already been processedThank you
