does not wish to hold up to his contractual obligations and has instead decided to lash out against our client in this manner.We have represented Mr. [redacted] for various months now in this collection matter and if Mr. [redacted] does not pay our client what is contractually owed, then we will advise our client to allow us to file suit against Mr. [redacted]. Previously, we contacted Mr. [redacted] about his debt and allowed him a certain amount of time to deny the debt to us, which, up to this date, has NOT been done.We testify as to our client's good standing in business and it is our opinion that Mr. [redacted] has a valid claim against Mr. [redacted] for the work performed which remains unpaid. Further, we reject the issues which Mr. [redacted] claims to you, as they are false. Attached, are our client's answers to the claims made against him. If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned.Customer's Statement of the Problem:1.Signed remodeling contract on 4th May worth $25K, $2K to be paid upon completion of work - work to be finished in 20 days - work began on 5th May. I informed them if any change orders were made that we would have to deviate from the original work schedule.During the course of the work schedule the [redacted] family asked me to install the work by the 4 or 5 days because Mr, [redacted]'s long time friend was coming to town they said "don't worry about the finish date" that they would be ok with the delay. Then Mrs. [redacted]'s uncle was to visit, and we were asked to stop the work again. After some days of his visit (4) they said it was ok to do some of the things that would not make a lot of noise. Again we were asked to stop because of the uncle's visit. Then they allowed us to work 2 or 3 days, then stop again. By then most of the work had been completed. There were numerous change orders made and we had conversations about the contract and the finish day. Mr. [redacted] assured me it was not my fault and they were ok to finish the work and to take our time, and as long as the work was completed, they would be happy.2.Paid $16K in first four days and additional $5K on 5/16; total due $1838 after owner paid expenses.Mr. [redacted] does not explain what we had to order far more material, including cabinets, beam and other items.He also does not speak about the deposits needed for the granite, base board, paint, trim,ECT: nor does Mr. [redacted] make any reference to how much work was accomplished in the first 10 days, which was about 75%, until we were asked to stop because of his family's visits.3.Work didn't finish on time as per contract with no delays from owner sideMr. [redacted] refuses to acknowledge as per our contract, what happens when he asks forthe delays.Also, he says "as per contract" but when it came to paying for all change orders first, as per contract, he refused to do so.4. Major quality and workmanship issues - (pending work and quality issues more than amount due)There are minor finishes left, but only because of their non-payments to us. There are no workmanship problems. After Mr. [redacted] refused to pay the full amount for change orders, I chose to stop the work. His behavior was such that we knew that we were not going to be able to collect our final payments. We filed liens for our labors and materials and now we are contemplating and a law suit to recover our payments.5.Refuses to provide Engineer's design and approval/inspection report for removing load bearing wall in kitchen and replacing it with 20+ feet beam.As I explained to Mr. [redacted], we would provide everything to him after all change orders were paid for.6. Contractor took one of kitchen cabinet doors for matching - doesn't return it.At no time did I receive any email from Mr. [redacted] about the time frame. And the only time Mr. [redacted] chose to email me about any complains, is after I chose to stop the work when when he refused to pay in full all change orders.I will also attest that he also chose to make a report to the Revdex.com only after my attorney got involved for collections and we placed a lien on his house.Further, I had many discussions with Mr. [redacted] about collecting our fees on the change orders.. I have many recorded conversations with Mr. [redacted] in which one can hear me explain to him everything. We have no problem finishing all the minor work left, as soon as he pays for all change orders in full.7. Refuses to give BOM details on the change order for Kitchen Pantry and credit forthe change order.I have no clue what he's talking about.
