Joe, I think that you're listening and actually believing Bob. That'll just leave you very disappointed. This is the very first time since my husband paid him on June 4th that Bob has put anything forward to me in writing that specifically states how and when he will repay me. That's a few days shy of a third of a year ago now. He has made incredulous lies about me and my husband. He has answered a few of my questions in vague and contradictory ways, but this was the very first specific, dated thing he has made about my refund.
I just don't get why you keep saying that Bob has been trying to repay me. He did give me a partial refund. 13% in mid August. He still owes me 87% or $13000. I appreciated the partial payment. It paid for my kids' beds and a computer my son needed for school. Since then he's sent other people e-mails about how much he's tried, but the truth is that he hasn't done a thing but lie about me or to me before and since that partial payment. How is that trying??? I am the one that has to contact him. After the 0 out of 50 or more attempts at the beginning, I only get a response from maybe 1 out of every 5 calls or e-mails to him. They are either vague and noncommittal (ie I'll do the best I can) or they're filled with lies or they're too confusing to understand - like he starts one sentence and then stops abruptly and starts a new one without finishing either thought. Any noncommittal promise comes to absolutely nothing and then he sends out a bulk e-mail as to why it's somehow my fault and threatens to sue me. Please explain to me what he has done to try to actually help me (not him) before this???
His attempt now is simply to have me remove the truth about what he has done. It is beyond my power to remove anything from the ripoffreport site. It is not allowed. I would breach the contract the second I signed. Bob knows this and I would bet he banks on it. I am only allowed to amend it, which I have done and am still willing to do - I have offered to do it in my contract. As far as the bit about his stepson - the whole thing was ridiculous. He's the one who said he left him in charge. The guys at his shop called Zak to deal with me when I got there. Zak said that he and another coworker would create the contract and then Zak had someone else drop it off. If he really is underage, shouldn't any of these people have told me before 1 business day to the deadline that he was just a kid? Bob kept the whole age thing a secret until September 8. Bob even gave me a partial refund because of the contract. I would think that would enforce it's legality. Then he pulls the crap in the bulk e-mail about me coercing this poor defenseless kid. I never met the kid! How is any of that helping me??? It really irks me that you or anyone would try to say that he's tried.
Here's an easy way to pay someone that you owe money to - you send them a check. It's really that easy. I've done it a couple times and it hasn't hurt a bit. When they cash it, it's proof that they received it. We've had a contract since July 27th. He's acknowledged that he owes me the money. What is the hold up? My complaints just increase the more he refuses to pay me and the more he continues to lie about me. The day he repaid me the $2000 I reported it on here. I've offered to continue updating both the good and the bad. It's only in his best interest that he finally do the right thing.
