Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:Most of what they have stated in their response is simply not trueTheir company is not set up in a way that the typical communication flows between the customer and the officeThey have a salesman contact you to schedule an appointment for an in-home water testing and consultationAlmost all communication is directly with the salesman, not the officeIn my case because we agreed to purchase the water conditioner, the salesman scheduled the installation and did all the communicating with their officeThis is pretty normalI spoke with the salesman right after the installation and told him that it wasn't what we had agreed toThe salesman offered to remove the unit and refund my entire purchase priceThe salesman arranged for the refund to be sentI contacted the salesman when the refund did not process in a timely mannerIt was only at that point that he indicated I would need to talk to the office about the processing of the refundSo, when they state in their response that no complaint was made until 1/23/that is completely falseThat may be the first date I spoke with their office, but I had spoken with the salesman on many occasions and he was constantly assuring me that all would be made right The first time I knew that I needed to speak with their office was at this point, since all previous communication would have been with the salesmanThere will be ample call records between myself and the salesman to show that I had communicated with him regularlyThe salesman felt bad enough about the way I was treated that he offered at one point to process a portion of the refund out of his own pocket, but was forbidden to do that by his company. They also refer to the back of the contract saying it must be cancelled within three business daysThat would be from the date of signing the contract which is long before the installation even takes placeTherefore, the purpose of that clause is to give a customer who gets cold feet the option to cancel prior to the installationIn my case, I didn't know there was any issue until after they installed the unit in a way different than what we had decidedAnd, I did immediately inform the salesmanHe agreed it was not correct and came to my house to verifyAgain, all this was done without any contact with their main officeThe response from Shelton is deceptive in that regard. Contrary to what was stated, the first time I was told that there would be any deduction from my original contract amount was when I received the check and it was for less than the original purchase amountI called the office and that is when they explained to me why they had sent less, in theory subtracting the installation costShe said that my salesman should have carefully explained that to meI told her he had notShe told me to speak with him again and if he agreed that was true they would refund the balanceI spoke with himHe agreed that what I said was trueHe asked them to refund the entire amount per his promiseThat was when they informed me there wouldn't be any further refund comingMy contract shows the installation amount as $because it is included in the purchaseTherefore, the amount of $which they chose to deduct is completely arbitraryBy their logic they could have made it $500, $1000, or the entire costBut, if they intent was to subtract installation they should certainly have informed me what that amount was or what the hourly labor rate was they based it onNone of that happened.I have to say that the salesman is one person in all of this that has been very easy to work with and honorableHe has acknowledged whatever mistakes have been made and fought for meI truly appreciate his efforts and do not fault him for the dishonesty of his company
