Long Fence
June 27, 2007
I hired Long Fence of Capitol Heights, MD to put a 7-foot privacy fence around my backyard. Unbeknown st to me, they put the fence inside my property line, giving my neighbors one foot of my property. For some dumb reason, I hired them again to put a fence around my front yard. This time, after I had paid them in full, they claimed I still owed them $150 for a permit, which was not detailed on the contract. After several attempts to correct this error, they sent my account to collections. I paid the $150 and vowed to them that I would let... read full review »

Sears Central Air Conditioning
June 27, 2007
We signed a contract with Sears for a central air conditioning unit in December, 2005. They sent a contractor to install it in June, 2006. This contractor asked us to clean out our attic and said he would return the following week to install the duct work in the attic. He did not show up. After many calls we reached our sales department in Scranton, PA who told us the contractor had quit. They sent a second contractor who completed half the job and then never returned. The job was finally completed in October, 2006; the unit then broke... read full review »

Matthew Smith Handyman Contractor
June 27, 2007
Matthew Smith Handyman Contractor Location: 300 carlsbad village drive 108A, carlsbad, ca 92008 During 2005 this man acted as a contractor; erected a fence (poorly, using finishing nails and 10' spans) and started demolition on a project; work was done improperly, he is not a contractor, i had to re-do the work and he made off with $50k+. I have consulted atty and they say it cost nearly as much to sue as to get this back since he has no assets it's not worth my time, but maybe someone else will check first before they hire this person. read full review »

Usha Lexus Furniture

Technically speaking, I should not even call this after sale, because 2 months after paying advance, I am still waiting for the furniture delivery to be completed. Going by brand name is a sheer waste of time in India. This is a lesson I learned the hardway. Any company, once it sees the money, will have nothing to do with the customer. Usha Lexus is a prime example. They have a big brand, Usha Shriram and atrocious attitude towards customers.

Whirlpool Microwave Oven
June 26, 2007
Turned microwave on one time without putting something in it. Ran for 30 seconds -everything fine, used it four mores times, fifth time smelled burning and opened it up and there was a quarter sized whole in the back of the microwave. Could have caught fire had i not stopped the microwave-whirlpool did nothing. Not under warranty-bought in 2005 - i feel the public needs to know this is a potential fire hazard and i should have been compensated for it.
