Regarding ChrisContract’s statement: “The cost of the project was documented on emails per weekly reports form (sic) the start of the project to the time when the allocated contract funds were no longer available per owners request”, the phrase “per owners request” does not apply We did not request the above mentioned weekly reports and we certainly did not request that contract funds be no longer available The lack of availability of contract funds is the substance of this complaint We responded promptly and in full to every ChrisContract invoice During the 1/26/meeting mentioned above, ChrisContract stated that he had misappropriated our contract funds, using them to pay delinquent General Excise Tax for renewal of his contractor’s license and to pay unrelated credit card debt These statements are validated by a written witness statement from our architect who attended this meeting (see attached) This misappropriation of funds resulted in the lack of fund availability for the purpose it was intended and contracted for In order to resolve this complaint, ChrisContract must take responsibility for this misappropriation of contract funds that has resulted in his contract default, pay the delinquent debt to the subcontractors and suppliers who furnished labor and materials under the contract, complete the contract, and pay for the mounting damages associated with his ongoing failure to meet contract duration Failing the above, we request that the Revdex.com continue to investigate this complaint and reflect its findings in ChrisContract’s Revdex.com accreditation and ratings Sincerely, [redacted]
