Complaint narrative:
In XXXX this year after waiting 2 years to get our solar fixed and turned on. It was to be turned on XX/XX/year>. It was installed without a permit on site. Argued with company which took XXXX month to get permit! Then in XXXX the company called XXXX XXXX went bankrupt! I was lied to every time I called. Finally I called the bank on the loan after paying two payments on a solar system that was inoperable and told bank I wasnt paying for this until it was! She stopped payment! So around XX/XX/XXXX of this year, it was turned on! We were told that we would never have an electric bill! Wrong information! We never got our 18 months at {$180.00}. But got a call in XXXX that if we paid {$190.00} the next month it would be XXXX for the next 17 months! That was a lie! We are not only paying XXXX a month we are also paying over XXXX plus in an electric bill. This is something we were told we would never have to pay again! Its all a lie! XXXX is a scam! So on our roof is a {$68000.00} system and a light I bill on top of it! No one comes and checks it or services it! This is part of the contract! We have no idea if any of these panels are working, we were to be given an app to download to tell us this! Never got! Something is wrong with this system for us to be paying for electric! We have no idea who to call to come out and check this is in our contract!! If any panels are damaged the company replaces them for as long as life of loan is for and thats 25 years! Goodleap was told all this and she acted like she it was our responsibility! So we are paying and doing our part of contract but they have violated their end! During hurricane XXXX, the panels in front were bouncing up and down! Never installed correctly so we have them strapped down! If not they would wear a hole in our roof. We probably have roof damage! We dont know if any more are not installed correctly! Please let me nIf we dont pay this bill they can take our home! I want to have this taken off our roof. Its all a scam! We were told that we would get a check back from the government for over {$17000.00} to do what we want with. Thats a lie, you get a tax credit each year until the {$17000.00} plus is paid in full! No on should do solar! We did it in NY and we did good its just a big scam right now! Please help us get out of this loan we cant afford this! My husband is retiring in year and half and Im in disability. We are struggling as it is! Please help us!! Contract has been defaulted by now bank. Thats fraud!
