In response to the complaint from *** *** (complaint ID ***) I am notifying you the Revdex.com that this has become a legal issue My attorney will be handling the case and I will notify you of the status once it has gone to court We take your feedback very seriously and appreciate
the notice

This is our response to Mr***’s demands, and the lack of action on our request for resolution, which was originally brought forth prior to our Revdex.com complaint against his business Addressing Mr***’s last response in the same order of his comments: Item Mr***’s tools will be provided back to him after providing us with an accurate bill of his services performed up until he abandoned the jobsite The project was left with no intent to come back to clean it up, or bring it to a SAFE condition, and this was interpreted as an abandonment of the contract by the contractor This was outlined in the original correspondence to Mr*** a few days after he abandoned the work He was given two days to contact us and come back to retrieve his tools, but chose to issue a change order and demand more money instead, as our agreed upon deadline passed by without any concern to him No one told Mr*** to leave the property as he did, and no one prevented him from taking the FEW tools that he actually left on site that day Mr*** will not be allowed in our home until we are fully recompensed for the losses and extra costs that he has imposed on us, as we have lost all trust in him due to his empty words and dishonesty. Item We will not pay any penalty for breaking a contract that was broken by Mr***, not us Again, as stated in our original correspondence to Mr***, his abandonment of the work and the condition he left the residence in, was considered a breach of contract We have not broken contract, but paid him the stated deposit of 50% (one of the highest deposits in the industry); only to be asked for more money from Mr*** in the form of an additional 25% advance, which is a clear breach of contract Meanwhile, he stalled our project working hours or less a day, by himself (with no crew as was promised); and spent OUR deposit on paying off his Sherwin Williams bill from previous projects, having nothing to do with our work This I finally got Mr*** to admit to, after two weeks of his con-artist tactics did not work in getting the 25% advance from usHe had not even come close to covering the 50% initial deposit amount with the work he performed prior to leaving the site The fact that he is proposing to receive an additional 10% “penalty” fee and is willing to walk away forever is a clear sign that he is already ahead and has no skin in the game Unfortunately, the same is definitely not true for us, as he left us out to dry, while walking away with our deposit. Item No “interference” according to Mr*** interpretation is impossible, as he considers asking questions and observing to be "interference" Mr*** is working for us, not the other way around We are the end user of his product/services, and our satisfaction should be held in high regard if he is trying to run a contracting company that is interested in operating a successful business Although his actions clearly show that he holds no regard for the homeowners wishes, requests, and/or questions; and any supposed concern has been shown to be only lip service with no follow through whatsoever No party would ever agree to paying the FULL sum of a contract and any additional miscellaneous change orders related to the work, prior to the completion of such work, unless a surety bond or similar warranty check of at least the same amount (or sometime even double or triple the contract sum) is given to the owner prior to commencing the work Then, when the owner experiences an unresponsive, or underperforming contractor, or when the contractor walks off the project (both of these cases apply to Mr*** and his company), the owner can simply cash the check in, and use the proceeds to seek restitution and finish the project If he is willing to provide us with such a surety bond or warranty check, for double the full contract price, than we may be open to such an arrangement Mr*** can feel free to respond through any channel to discuss this option. Item Mr*** or his “attorney” can contact us at any time to discuss these issues further In fact we have been awaiting such correspondence We have never defamed Mr***’s character in any way, but have tried to maintain a professional dialogue; and have only stated the facts to the Revdex.com, in hopes of finding an alternative resolution to this conflict outside of litigation Although it appears he has no interest in such a dialogue, as Mr*** is choosing to defame our character by labeling us “dead beats” and liars; which is completely untrue This somewhat harsher response is in defense against his comments, and more for the benefit of future customers, in the hopes that they will not be taken advantage of by Mr***’s scams and con-artist ways of conducting business. Again, we are open to a discussion of the facts and to a resolution, and this can come directly from Mr***, or through his supposed attorney We have not lied whatsoever in our complaints, and our accusations are spot on, with plenty of documentation and witnesses to back it up The only thing “bad” about our position is that we are out thousands of dollars due to Mr***’s inability to properly run his business and actually DO what he says, instead of talking out of his ears with meaningless promises We were willing to work through a resolution in a reasonable and professional way; even going beyond our initial 50% deposit, by “paying for” our own materials (materials that were a part of the contracted work) in order to keep Mr*** going with the project But unfortunately Mr*** was the one that took advantage of us, as he performed little to no additional work after this purchase was made Questioning our ability and willingness to pay, after we held up our side of the contract (and more), is clearly unjustified, and simply another attack on our character, in order to make himself appear like the victim in this dispute

This dispute has not resolved to legal matters.  My
husband and I have not received any prior communications from Mr. C[redacted] even
though we have reached out through phone and e-mail.  A letter of breach
in contract was sent via e-mail to Mr. C[redacted] on April 3rd.  He also
received a paper copy via certified mail on April 6th.  I have attached a
copy of it above for Revdex.com's reference.  Since contractor (Mr. C[redacted]) walked off the job
site we have requested to be bill for actual work and labor provided up to date
(April 1st), and have remaining initial deposit fee refunded back to us.

This is my response to the [redacted] Complaint:
First my tools must be returned to me undamaged or I will contact the police.
2.  I will allow the [redacted]'s to break contract with a 10% penalty.  If this option is agreed to I will sign a lien release agreement.
3.  I will complete the work as agreed to in the original contract with no interference from the [redacted]'s.  The contract and change order must be paid in full for me to return and complete the job.
4.  If these three items are not agreed to my attorney will file a motion against the [redacted]'s for breech of contract and defamation of character.  Documentation provided for both charges.
I have taken this matter into consideration with my attorney and the [redacted]'s are in a very bad position with their accusations and lies.  I can share with you, I have never been treated in such a negative way as this is evidence of how the [redacted]'s conduct business.  I feel the [redacted]'s would have created reason's not to pay me even if I completed the work as agreed to in the original contract.  I have had to deal with dead beats in the past and am feed up with being taken advantage of.
These options are non-negotiable.  We will await a response and direction on how to proceed forward related to this matter.
Please provide an email address to send documentation from the [redacted]'s related to this case.

The options I provided previously still stand.  Either the Brown's want me to allow them to break contract or I finish the job.  That's it.  No refunds, no more talk, just do the work as originally agreed on or break contract.  I will await their response.Douglas A. [redacted]
