This time, he decided to cash this check at a check cashing facility rather than a bank. Which means a stop payment does not work (learned a new one). We wrote a check for $1000 as a deposit for about $3500 of work. I was supposed to get a call the next day - didn't. Was supposed to meet him to select and pay for the trim - didn't hear a word. Several text messages unanswered, several voice mails not returned.
So here we sit I had to pay the check cashing company while he has my $1000. even had a friend call him -he answered - said he would call me - never did.
I now have to try several avenues to get my funds back, a lot of work to do ahead and still have the trim work to be done.
Also, report the guy who screwed your over to Crimes Against Seniors.
I do not recommend using this vendor. You could be next .
