scam billing
WeedMan has called me this summer that I should pay them for the lawn care services that they had provided in my previous home address when I used to rent last year!
I have never ordered any products from them or signed any contract with them. Even I was not aware of the existence of such company until they called me this summer! Funny enough that I did not even receive any bills when I lived in the previous rental house!
They are such rude that now, after several phone calls, they have threatened me to contact a collection agency!
How do you think I should get rid of this scam company?!

A EXTORTION FROM WEEDMAN
PLEASE PLEASE SPEND ONE MINUTE TO READ THIS!!!

I also have the same problem with this WeedMan company, It started on this Febuary when my parents received a bill of $144 dollars from WeedMan, the letter says a fertilizing service has been done on my grass. but the bill is on my sister's name who had been moved out 3 years ago. I thought this company must make a mistake or anything. so I discarded the bill and threw it away.

But just right after a month I received another bill for $80 dollars it says a pesticide service had been done to my grass. since nobody in this house have ordered any landscaping service from any company, not my parents for sure because they don't speak any english at all. beside I have a very small size lawn (about 120 square feet) we always take care of it ourself, sometime I even helped my neighbor to cut his grass when he came back to his country for visiting.

I decided to call WeeMan and explaint to them we have never authorized any of service from WeedMan, but they admitted they did do a free lawn service for advertisement, because we did't responsed to their free service, they assumed we needed their serviced again, so they started do more serviced to our lawn with an "automaticaly authorization and billed us.

I was very angry. I told them I never call for any service, and I won't give a damn about the bills. and she said she will talk to the manager and see what he says and will call me back tomorrow. but she never called back.

I thought WeedMan had awared they made mistakes, and this matter is over, but I was wrong. regardless I did't pay the first 2 bills WeedMan keep sending bills to my house in the next six months and said they have serviced our lawn for another 4 times that none of my family witnessed any of the WeedMan guys worked on the lawn (maybe we were at worked when they showed up at my house). now the bill come to a new total of $477 dollars!!!. and WeedMan started to call the house for the late payments

Finally, I decided to pay a visit to the Company I talked to one of the employee who worked in the account receivable. I explainted to her that my familly never called for any service from them, and asked her for a copy of the work order or any contracts that any ot my family member had signed, but she couldn't provide me any of that . and she just answer me briefly that it is too late, they have done services and I have to pay the bills. And they will get the loan collection company after us, will make us to pay the bills. WHAT KIND OF THE COMPANY IS THAT!!!. ARE WE IN CANADA?????

Since that day WeedMan had called that house frequently and threated to get the loan collection company after us. I Mom was too scared and cried, in her mind, the loan companies are bad companies which operated by gang, who will bring weapon to your door and threat you to pay them. maybe she watched too much TV.

Regardless what my Mom thinks, I realized this is serious matter, THIS IS A SCAM, AND AN EXTORTION isn't it. I took my Mom to the City Hall, and even I brought her to the Police Station to seek helps, but they were so helpless, just adviced us to get a lawyer.

This matter is still not solved, I am urging anyone here who is also been throught the same problem and still a victim of the WeedMan scam, please please contact me([email protected]), My name is Arron give me some advices or maybe we can worked together to bring ourself justice.

Thank You Very Much

Poor organization
I KNOW THIS IS A LONG POST, BUT TRUST ME IT WILL BE WORTH READING! IT CAN SAVE YOU A LOT OF HASSLE.

This company proved initially to be good to use. I guess as the economy started to dwindle so did the service. I had my lawn sprayed with weed control and it seemed to work fine but only for a few weeks. I called and voiced my concern that perhaps they had not sprayed enough (given that I had used this company for several years in the past and never had an issue). The female on the other end of the phone was not only rude, but blamed me in an almost attacking way, stating that I was at fault because I had probably watered when I was not supposed to. I claimed that I did not water my lawn but still she kept arguing with me. I was upset as I, at that point, had already paid for the service and as such had no aces to pull out. She finally said that they could come out once more and spray again. I agreed to it under the condition that I would not get charged again. I was smart enough to record the conversation as soon as she had turned to the defensive side at the beginning of the conversation. We came to an agreement that the almost $1500 I had spent with them over the past years proved me a loyal and good paying customer. They came out and took care of the problem and everything was good...or at least so I thought. A few weeks later I got a bill for the weed control. Somewhat upset, I called and asked what the bill was for. I got the answer that it was probably a mistake and that it would be taken care of. I was satisfied with that and thought nothing more about it. Next month I get ANOTHER statement claiming I owe them money. At this point I called and told them I was about to cancel my account with them if they did not resolve the issue. They apologized and told me it would be taken care of. A few weeks later I get a letter from a local collection agency stating that I owe them money for an account on contract from Weedman. I decided to pay the bill to have the mess end, I called Weedman to cancel my account, something the female I initially spoke to had already done and I told them I would not allow them onto any of my properties ever again. The response I got was "Well, we won't come out until you learn how to pay your bills".

Although I was deeply hurt (given that I had a perfect payment record with them from before), I was ok with that and moved on...until I went to renew my mortgage. At that point my bank representative told me I had a hit on my otherwise spotless credit report from the collection agency about an outstanding bill from weedman. It did not affect me overall; I simply explained what had happened and they understood. I contacted my lawyer and told him what had happened. He was pleased to hear that I had recorded all the conversations with Weedman and started to draw up a suit against them.

Be careful when dealing with this company. They will do anything to get the bill padded, even though you dont want the services they give you. When I was using them I simply used them for weed control but I always got billed for aeration and over seeding as well. When I called them they stated that they had communicated to me through my bill that they were aerating and over seeding the next time they came out unless I called and canceled before. Now that I look back it should be the customer calling them requesting services rather than them pushing services onto customer that is often not needed. I am glad to be rid of them and I now use another company in Barrie and so far have not had any issues with them. 10 Rotten Tomatoes on Weedman for the poor sense of business.
