unscrupulous contractor their efforts to get their money back has taken them on a journey through a maze of government agencies and courts revealing hurdles and red tape can't stand to see someone doing this to my friends and neighbors said lee french in of all to sierra a disgruntled client leading the charge against a contractor it's not right the union is not using the contractors name because no criminal charges have been filed against him his former customers want to raise awareness about the difficulties of recovering losses in the civil dispute for instance the contractor demanded fifty percent upfront to install granite countertops in french's kitchen the law contractor delivered the granite it was not the kind french had ordered the owner came out and he and i almost came to blows friends said he was always that that's all he could get we had to accept that the contractor missed represented their installation abilities quality of work and professional expertise of their preferred personnel and installers according to a letter written by zena leave moral of all to see her at her house war due to myriad problems with workmanship including part of the counter duct taped into place and even tiles in parts ordered for no reason are rare granite countertops were destroyed during installation by workers sent out by the contractor that they're not skilled in the installation of granite consequently we had to settle for another type of granite to replace our entire kitchen wrote doug and rosetta edwards of the alters here the guys in trucks left us with the dustiest mess you ever saw from said you'd think it was a demolition crew french and the other families many elderly couples felt defrauded he said they got together and mapped out their goals getting

next steps were contacting the contractors bond company the better business bureau and filing a complaint against a contractor you found out the contractor had a twelve thousand five hundred dollar bond to cover all his i believe that he's hit fraction of the money and where customers feel they are d french to the contractor to small claims court and a judge determined the bond would be dispersed among the client claimant friends said the contractor state license board ultimately revoked a contractor's license due to the victim's complaints friend said lee wanted to see if criminal charges could be pressed police told him they cannot show old there was criminal intent on the part of the contractor the bad business practices do not add up to a crime grass valley police captain

process and for report to whatever governing board is involved in the lhari added now the contractor's license has been suspended and the contractor's bond will be dispersed among the parties french's next course of action could be to hire a lawyer and follow a with crimes where restitution is sought a person does not have any money or assets unfortunately the victims are out of luck put people
