Complaint Review:
Canopy Construction LLC
Dear potential customers, customers, employees and partners of Canopy Construction LLC, This is to bring to your immediate attention, so you may act accordingly, you are working for 3 of the biggest crooks that have ever been in business, Nicholas Kane Zindel, James Trey Gibson, and Andrew James Heape. This corrupt organization also has 2 other companies, which are GZH Enterprises, and Epsilon Holdings. These other companies were formed to divert and cheat you out of your money. I have been in Appleton Wisconsin since August of 2010. Trey, Nick, and Drew waited until John and I collected all the checks, and then decided to cheat us out of our money, which they owe us for over 80 jobs.
After extensive research, we have learned some very very disturbing news, that they are in violation of numerous Federal laws, State laws, and licensing laws, and are encouraging you to commit insurance fraud. They have taken the insurance funds and have not paid employees, vendors, governmental entities, subcontractors, and myself, a limited partner. There is a full scale investigation being launched in Wisconsin, (see attached file), as they have been illegally conducting business since October 22nd, 2010. This company will be fully investigated by the Attorney General's office in Wisconsin, Texas, and Arizona, as well as other Federal, and State Licensing Agencies. All insurance companies have been made aware of their business practices, as well as the insurance commissioners.
My recommendation would be that you would leave IMMEDIATELY, and NOT WASTE anymore of your valuable time and energy, knowing that you will never collect. This company will become debunked very quickly. However, even filing bankruptcy will not stop prosecution of the criminal activities that have occurred. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me 24/7 to answer any questions, and I will be more than willing to provide any additional documentation or information as needed.
PLEASE DO NOT COLLECT ANYMORE CHECKS FROM CUSTOMERS, AS THEY ARE FORCING YOU TO COMMIT INSURANCE FRAUD, AND KNOWING THEIR BILLS WILL NEVER BE PAID, AND LIENS WILL BE FILED ON UNKNOWING CUSTOMERS.
POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS, AND CUSTOMERS, DO NOT GIVE ANY FUNDS TO THIS CORRUPT COMPANY, AS YOU WILL BE DEFRAUDED AND CHEATED, AS HUNDREDS OF OTHERS HAVE BEEN.

EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
HERE IS WHAT RIP-OFF REPORT SUGGESTS YOU DO:
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: “we could not do anything for you” or “you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days”.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
CHARGES TO YOUR CREDIT CARD
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.
Remember… Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.
And good luck… Let us know how you do!
