Default Contractor Problems

I recently had a neighbor come to me and ask for my advice on a "no-show" problem with a contractor. He had taken a downpayment of $900.00 plus dollars and after 10 weeks he hadn't performed the work and wouldn't return calls or gave excuses.
After repeated calls and excuses to me, I decided she needed to take action. We went to the 'SENIORS VS CRIME" department of The Sumpter County Sherrifs Ofiice. We found out that they would help us after filing a formal complaint, which we proceeded to do.
To make a long story short, the contractor dropped off the material that afternoon (gee what a coincidence) and completed the job to her satisfaction the next day.
Moral of this story is, your not alone out there. Get help.

My hats off to these folks
