April 15, 2015Dear. [redacted],I am in receipt of the rejection response concerning the above referenced complain. Again, we do not feel Garvey's had done anything wrong in this matter. We offered a vinyl replacement to the consumer since he was unhappy with his vinyl, which he refused. He then paid his vinyl bill in full. The remaining balance is for the carpet installed in his home for which he had no complaints. This balance was turned over to a collection agency.I am sorry that our offer of the vinyl replacement did not suit him at the time but these inconveniences at the time of the offer, were never told to us and again, the balance was paid in full which reiterated to us that he was accepting the vinyl installation.Finally, we have no complaints on record from [redacted] related to the unpaid invoice [redacted] which was for a carpet installation dated September 12, 2012. This is the balance we are seeking for $618.24. The comments [redacted] continues to complain of are for a completely different invoice which has been paid in full.I thank you for all your help. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.Yours truly,Lindsey C. Executive Liaison

We are truly sorry that [redacted] complaint was not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty and since it was not installation related, the concern is not covered under our installation warranty. The carpet manufacturer's warranty states that the carpet must be cleaned annually from the date of...

installation in order to maintain the warranty and unfortunately it was not. I truly feel for [redacted] loss of her husband however, it is the consumer’s responsibility to maintain their carpet.I did contact our representative from [redacted] several weeks ago when I told [redacted] I would, please see attached emails and he said he would contact her to see if he could assist her further. When I got the letter from you, I reached out to him again to see why she had not heard from him. I do feel he will try to help if he can. I also enclosed the warranty and denial letter from [redacted]. I did also tell [redacted] that I would speak to [redacted] to see if he would be willing to replace her carpet, he was not as it is not installation related and asked that I give her [redacted] contact information. Please see letter dated 1/5/15 and 2/16/15.

 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
First of all when I first contacted them the day of instillation the installer was on site and refused to do it.  When I called to make them aware They then said they can send someone out during the week, however I have a job that requires me to work during the week, some times 6 day with long hours.   I was then told, that Saturday's and Sunday's were out of the question because service does not work on those days.   I then responded by saying that I was not paying the balance until my carpet was properly installed, I also want to be clear this is an instillation problem not a service problem.  This issue has existed since day one in my house. I Was then told, that by the person on the phone that she would have to talk to her manager and call me back. No one ever called me back.  Approximately 4 months later I got a bill in the mail stating that if I do not pay the bill or respond to the letter with In 30 days legal action may take place.   I then called and asked why I was getting a threading letter and final bill when the job was not completed. I told them I would be more than happy to pay for the product when the job was completed.  I was then told again that their service tecks do not work on Saturday or Sunday, unfortunately I am only available on those days. I already took a day off of work for installation and am not willing to take another day off.   I was then told by the person on the phone that they had to consult with their manager and get back to me.  I then received another letter approximately in January with another letter to pay the balance or respond to this letter in 30 days legal action may be taken. I then called said that I tried to be reasonable and work with them for 11 months and was told that they do not work on saturdays or sundays, then finally they said they would send someone out on a Saturday.  I told then that I work most saturdays, typically I work 6 days a week so also that will not work.  Then they agreeded to a Sunday, unfortunately due to sporting events with my children and vacation plans with my wife I was not available for the following month and a half.  Then a Sunday was scheduled for a service tech to assess the situation, which was what they told me, was all he would do.  While he was here, he said the could fix it that day in approximately 3-4 hours.  Unfortunately I was told service wouldn't take place that day and I did not allow for that time frame.  We had family plans that afternoon.  I was told that someone would call on that Monday or Tuesday to schedule the repair work.  Approximately 2 weeks later I received an email that they wanted to schedule service however they would appreciate payment in full before they would schedule.  That leads us to today.  I would like to point out that it was 14 months, since the carpet has been installed.  It is not my fault that they did not install the carpet properly 14 months ago, or that it has taken 14 months to get to this point.  It is also not my fault that they have to pay an installer overtime to fix something that they did not install correctly the first time.  
Regards,
[redacted]

March 23, 2015Dear. [redacted],
I have enclosed copies of the invoices, receipt history and communication between our company and [redacted]. [redacted]’s carpet invoice balance of $618.24 was turned over to [redacted] on June 26, 2013. I have attached their...

acknowledgement and our receipt history where we removed the balance from our ledger and turned it over to collections. I also have attached the original receipt showing the only amount [redacted] paid toward this invoice [redacted]. To date this amount is not paid and he has only ever spoken to me, not [redacted].I believe the misunderstanding is with the vinyl. After the installation of his vinyl in October 2012, [redacted] complained of a seam he did not like. He said he would live with it if we gave him a 5% discount off his vinyl invoice [redacted]. [redacted] said no, he would rather make it right and replace the vinyl. [redacted] refused the replacement and shortly paid this invoice in full. Please see attached correspondence and receipt history related to this invoice.
I believe [redacted]’s intention perhaps was to pay the carpet bill and never pay us the balance of the vinyl bill, however he did not do this and regardless, turned down our offer of a replacement and therefore he still owes us the $618.24.
I thank you for all your help. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Yours truly,

April 18, 2017Dear [redacted],Thank you for forwarding the complaint submitted by our customer [redacted]. We have been attempting to coordinate this repair since March 23, 2016 with [redacted]. We agree there is an issue in the hallway carpet seam. Our company has been in business for 28 years building a strong reputation for providing the best customer service and standing behind our product and instal lation. We have done no less with [redacted]; attempting to resolve.We are willing and able to make the repairs if given a date to do so. We have made multiple attempts to schedule with the customer however [redacted] has not been forthcoming with dates suitable for him; even when offered a weekend appointment. [redacted] did allow us in his home on Sunday 2/12/17 however did not allow us to remain to complete the repair. The issue that remains is a simple repair which we will complete on whatever day the customer chooses. We ask for the balance to be paid at the completion of the repair. We will not issue a discount, refund, or forgive the balance owed. [redacted] should contact me directly at ###-###-#### or [redacted].com. As soon as we hear from him, we will schedule the repair immediately. If we do not hear from [redacted] within 30 days we have no choice but to send to our legal representative.if you have any further questions or concerns, please contact me.Thank you, Alicia M. Customer Service

 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:[redacted] resolve to replace the flooring was unexceptable by myself for 2 reasons.. First and foremost, to undo the bathroom without issue would have taken myself and or a trained professional in plumbing as the integrity of the plumbing (water supply) in place is at a very high risk of failing. Should it fail , fixing this would envolve isolating the main house supply and replacing the toilet supply shut off valve and supply line to this which is under the mobile home.Secondly I worked non stop for 30 days living in disarray and very little sleep and rest. I did not want the inconvenience of a another day.The verbal amount owed and stated over the phone was for the total amount owed... I made that quite clear by asking more than once.Regards,
[redacted]

Hi [redacted]  Per our conversation today, I was calling for my mother ([redacted]).  I would like to ask that [redacted] send a representative to her home to inspect the carpet and see what resolution they come up with.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.[redacted]Thanks[redacted]
