Initial Complaint

- Complaint Type:
- Order Issues
- Status:
- Unresolved
Date of transaction was April 2022 thru August of 2022. *** ***** is a limited-license plumbing contractor. As a licensed contractor with the State of Tennessee he is required to provide a written contract and obtain the proper permits as required by the City of Kingsport, of which he did neither. *** ***** was paid ********* cash to properly install a bathtub and install drywall into a previously demoed bathroom. There were numerous leaks and other problems which ran on for several months. The work is shoddy; there are big gaps in the tub I purchased for the project; the exhaust fan has insulation bulging out of big gaps...and there's more issues. I had to keep calling him back for repairs, and eventually he stopped answering all calls and emails. I ended up catching him on a burner phone that he didn't recognize. He then offered me ****** (half of what I paid him) to go away." This never happened because he had two cohorts pose as his "lawyer" to conduct this transaction so I didn't get involved in this fraud. (see the attached 2 page email conversation thread). Nothing was ever resolved and this carried over for several months. I ended up filing a complaint with the State of TN Contractor's Board. Upon receipt of the complaint *** ***** texted me a threat of an ambush in August of 2022. I quickly filed a police report. There's much more but I'll stop here for the sake of brevity.Business response
