I sent this to North Shore Agency on 9/19/2009 To Whom it may concern: I have written to Sherman’s Travel website and am now writing to you, I did NOT sign up for a subscription to a magazine. I logged into the website, filled out for free website access and then even unsubscribed to the emails soon afterwards. I DO NOT owe money for a magazine subscription. I didn’t receive any magazines and when the original bill came, I contacted them and told them it was a mistake, I also wrote all over the bill this information and sent it back to them. I do not owe any money to this company. NAMeiring read full review »

Sylvan Learning Center in Lincoln Village, Chicago, treats its employees poorly and takes advantage of its customers. Don’t even bother wasting your time. You work hard there, but for little to no money. They steal money from their employees by not providing them with paychecks for 6 months. You need to write tons of emails to them and leave messages on the voicemail in order to show them your interest in getting paycheck. Otherwise, they wouldn’t bother paying you, and they charge the students 90 dollars per hour. <br... read full review »

I ordered the Google kit from the internet. I waited for my software kit to arrive, never did. A couple of weeks later I received my credit card statement to find that I was billed $79.90 for the services to go with this kit. So, I call the phone number on the paper, they don't know what I am talking about. They don't know where my CD is and I am basically screwed out of the money. I have tried other phone numbers that I have seen advertising for the same Google kit and they have no idea what I am talking about. No kit, no income S.O.L.!!! Beware!! T.

I have been purchasing dial soap for over forty years. It appears that the bar has downsized quite a bit. However they are packaging 8 bars together. They are claiming they are 4.5Oz. Bars, but, when you open them up, they clearly state on them 4oz. Would you please check into this further. read full review »

Soup To Nuts does repairs of any kind on or in your home. Just beware that this company has no licence which is mandated in the county of Suffolk, NY and no insurance for liability to your home or his off the books employees. They do the work anywhere form putting up walls and painting to building decks and rooms, including plumbing and electrical. They do not get permits required by the town so the home may not be up to code.None of the workers or the owner has a business license. Hence their work may not be done in a manor in which the out... read full review »

My bathroom was in need of some repairs after the initial work was done. When I contacted Wholesale Builders, I left a message on their answering machine and 2 days later called them again. This time I was able to speak to a representative who assured me my problems would be addressed. A week later I called back and was told someone would be out the next day to see the problem. He came out to take some pictures and left. 2 days later a repairman came out to fix my bathroom. He promptly took the cabinets out and told me he would be going to... read full review »

In 11/05 - 02/08, we had a porch built on our home in NY by a contractor. It was incomplete and shoddily done. We complained to the local County Consumer Affairs and a decision was made to have the contractor repay us the money needed to complete the job & resolve shoddy work. The case was sent to the local County AG Office for collection in June 2008 and we are still awaiting resolution of the matter. The contractor cannot be found and it appears that the law has no teeth. It would be somewhat just to have this contractor exposed nationally for the scamp that he is. read full review »

We had a contract with Florida Solar to install 6 solar panels on our roof to heat our pool. The contract was signed on April 28, 2007. Florida Solar did not install the panels within the 7-10 days specified in the contract. We paid them a check of $2000 deposit and they cashed it right away before the right to recind date on the contract had passed. The people at Florida Solar avoided our calls and were not returning our messages when we called to try and find out when the panels would be installed. When we finally got in touch with them... read full review »

After 10 years of marriage, my husband and I were finally able to purchase our first home in a gut rehab on the southside of Chicago. We were so proud to finally become homeowners and give our daughter something to look up to. We were the 3rd family to move into our condo unit in November 2006. At closing, we were told that our underground parking would be ready in 30 days. We were okay with that. After 30 days, the parking was not ready and every 30 days we were told 30 more days...Well now it's the end of June and I still do not... read full review »

We had to hire a structural engineer. His reports shows how poorly the... read full review »

Builder contracted to build house at cost plus fixed fee, but took more than 300, 000 in money not spent on house not including builders fee of 200, 000 and refuses to finish house or return unspent money.

There were 2 contracts drawn up at a total cost of $13, 700.00 and approximately 10-14 weeks to complete both contracts.

A brand new, never out of the original packing, wood pellet stove by the above manufacturer was given to me. In anticipation of this I purchased two tons of wood pellets from a local company for $650. The stove was removed from the original packing and installed in my home by a Maine licensed electrician.

I went through the Installation & Operation Manual to get a good understanding of how to to do the "dry run" and then actually load he... read full review »

I ordered the floor cleaning product by 'phone and my credit card info taken. I was told it would ship via Fed Express within 1 business day (order placed 11/22/08). After waiting until 11/26, I went to their web site and find it is back ordered! Why didn't the customer service representative tell me that at the time of ordering? I attempted to call today, 11/28, and was told the office was closed. I think this may be a "shoe-string" operation that won't be in business too long at this rate. read full review »

As a former employee of Allen Anderson I have seen fraud committed upon citizens of Minnesota that amounts into the millions.

Allen Anderson on Angie List claims they don't use any sub-contractors. The fact is all of the employees were... read full review »

A Georgia fence company built a 211' capped fence for me at high cost on March 31, 2008. They were paid in full. I called them back in June and July to fix 5 warping Posts and approximately 60 pickets.

We purchased 1500 square feet of Columbia Flooring's Chase Pecan engineered hardwood. One third of the way through installation, we finally had enough natural light to see just how terrible the wood was. It was pitted, didn't fit up where the boards come together, started delaminating prior to the installation even finishing, and had pits throughout. The manufacturer told us to finish installation and then they would replace the floor. NEVER ever trust something like that! Three years later we are going to court.

This was not done, and we were not refunded the $3480.00 difference in price. read full review »
