Williams Protection Agency, Inc
WMD January 6, 2009
This company failed to pay it's guards on normal paydays, numerous times in 2007. In addition, some guard's paychecks bounced when cashed at their banks, even after this complaint was made known to the business owner. I am aware of one guard whose paycheck was returned by his bank for insufficient funds on behalf of his employer, on three consecutive paydays. Business owner fails to insure that payroll funds are sufficient to cover payroll checks, and also makes excuses to employees as to why payroll is not met. Paychecks are often... read full review »

Jennair undercounter ice machine

I purchased a Jennair ice machine from HHGreg on 1/3/2009. I took it home, and waited 48 hours to plug it up, as suggested. When I plugged it in, there was no power in the machine (no light, nor did the compressor motor run). I left it plugged in all night, but nothing happened. I bought it from the showroom floor, and it didn't have any paper work, nor was it in a box. I took it back to the store where I purchased it on 1/6/2009, and they refused to return my money stateing that it was a special order, and that their policy said that... read full review »

Ultramar

Ultramar doesn't install to TSSA (technical stadards and safety association) standards. Ultramar installed an external oil tank to the side of my house, boring a hole through solid rock foundation without strapping the tank. Result, tank sunk 12 inches but the pipe didn't causing the 3 inch pipe to support the weight of the oil and tank, and thus leaking. Even after tssa said it wasn't to code, they wouldn't do anything and ultramar said the contractor they hired/used was at fault. Hmmmm. Just another example of how people are taken advantage of.

GE Self Cleaning gas range Model JGB 290
Florimond January 6, 2009
In December, we received our new gas oven. From the first day, it did not work right, shooting flames from the bottom of the oven and giving off a noxious odor when we tried to use the broiler. Our installer was able to adjust the flames on the oven bottom but we had to call a local GE repair service to work on the other, far more serious, troubles. The repairman came and, after 3 hours, said the oven was unfixable. In fact, he was on the phone with the GE Engineering department, who kept telling him to "just burn the "dam**d smell... read full review »

In our neighborhood of older homes it is common for tree roots to work their way into the sewer line. Our house has the older terra cotta sewer line and we usually need the line to be snaked every 1-2 years. Sometimes we do it ourselves, sometimes call in a service and they usually charge around $100. We called Bonney Plumbing this year and the guy tells its $150 to snake out the line. Its a bit high but we say fine. the Bonney Plumbing employee makes a half-hearted attempt at snaking the line, and then says that his snake is hitting an... read full review »

It's a pure shame what Hannity homes Kevin and steve did to you two, false advertising is not allowed. Just get the back issues of the Papermint Magazine and Family times, they advertise there that your house would be complete from 90 from the pouring of the slag. You should at least go after the interest during that time you were not in your home. If a company is in the building of homes they should know all the times and required variances.
