Centerline Concepts (CCI) was contacted by Survey America inc. 815 John Street, Suite 130 Evansville, Indiana 47713 ( Patrick Hocking, owner) to perform ALTA surveys on several gas stations in Oregon and Washington in 2008.
CCI performed the surveys as requested AHEAD of schedule and delivered them to Survey America via email. That is when the trouble began, as soon as we were 60 days out on payment we began calling and sending repeated statements to no response. CCI's attorey checked with the holding Co. (Time oil, and Star oil) that ordered the surveys and they provided proof that they had paid Survey America in full.
The staff at Survey America told CCI that Patrick Hocking was the owner and sole person in charge, after dealing with this delinquent account of $26, 000. we began threatening a lawsuit, and dicovered the following information
-- Survey America was not licensed to conduct business in Washington or Oregon.
-- Survey America had been paid by the Holding Co. that ordered the services.
-- CCI was not the first business that Survey America had done this to, follow this link to see other similar stories. www.ripoffreport.com/Dead-Beat-Customers/Survey-America-Inc-A/survey-america-inc-and-patric-eeema.htm
After this CCI proceeded to have Survey America "served" with notice that they were going to be sued if they did not make arrangements or pay in full. Patrick Hocking agreed to payment arrangements that were minimal to say the least but would satisfy both parties in the end. After all of that Survey America has paid one payment to CCI, Patrick Hocking would not and has not communicated with CCI and the debt is still outstanding. This is a bad company, that odes not live up to its obligations and is dishonest in every aspect. Patrick Hocking is a dishonest person continues to avoid contact causing CCI to formally sue Survey America and Patrick Hocking. Do not do business with Patrick Hocking or Survey America who recently changed their web address to www.survayors.com ***note that SURVEYOR is spelled incorrectly in their web address...
