Ripped Off

When you took out the HELOC did they issue you a Visa card to use to access the funds? If they did and you used that card number to pay the crook, call the number on the card and dispute the transaction.


I ALWAYS pay for repair and service work with a credit card. It gives you recourse. Big ticket items, pay with the card and use the HELOC to pay off the card balance.

Integrity, you need to be careful in what you post, going forward.

We understand that you've had a bad time with your contractor . . . but many, many people have here have had their own bad pool experiences.

However, PoolForum has ALWAYS been about helping people solve problems, rather than being somewhere to vent. As I said, if you want to vent, there are other places that allow that..

The HLOC already went through and we have been making payments before the job was even done. The reason is in the past we had done business with this company for years. Years and never had any problems but good service. This caught us totally by surprise! They have changed and NOT for the better. Somewhere the man in charge lost his ethics and morals along the way. So at this point if BBB does not get us satisfaction we go to Magistrate Court from here.

The lady I talked to at Magistrate Court stated I have a good solid case and they will probably settle outside of that. That is good news. She said I should get a total refund! So I finally have some peace about it. Now I just have to wait it all out.
