Complaint Review: NATIONWIDE POOLS - KEITH STUART - MATT BARASS

FOR STARTERS -- DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT USING THIS COMPANY -- FROM START TO FINISH THEY WILL GIVE YOU A SONG AND DANCE ABOUT EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES REBATES AND DISCOUNTS - ((WHICH ARE COMPLETELY UNTRUE))!   ALL WE WANTED WAS TO HAVE OUR DREAM POOL AND WE ARE SO SORRY WE EVER CONTACTED NATIONWIDE POOLS  -- WE STARTED OFF BY CALLING  4 POOL COMPANIES FOR ESTIMATES - NATIONWIDE  INITIALLY STOOD OUT STATING THAT THEY WERE A #1 BUILDER  GREAT WARRANTIES AND PROMOS ETC. AND THEY EVEN OFFERED A PRICE GUARANTEE -- WE WERE ANXIOUS AND FIGURED WE COULD NOT GO WRONG SO WE SIGNED THE CONTRACT WITH THEIR SALES REP SANTIAGO - AL I CAN SAY IS  FROM START TO FINISH  THEIR OFFERS ARE TOTALLY A SCAM -- ONCE THEY HAD MY MONEY -- I WAS STUCK FOR OVER $6 THOUSAND -- THIER OWNERS KEITH STUART AND MAT BARASS  ARE NOTHING BUT NASTY AND HARRASSING OVER THE PHONE AND THEY EVEN THREATENED TO PUT A LIEN ON MY HOME IF I DID NOT GO FORWARDW ITH THE POOL - EVEN AFTER I SENT THEM THE PRICING PROPOSAL IN WRITING OF WHAT ANOTHER POOL COMPANY GAVE ME  FOR THE SAME ITEMS! I WAS ALSO ADVISED BY THE OTHER POOL COMPANY THE TACTICS AND BAIT ANS SWITCH THINGS THAT NATIONWIDE USES AND DOES-- I WAS SHOWN HOW THEY HAVE OVER 40 RIP OFF REPORTS AND COMPLAINTS ONLINE -- I WAS SO SCARED AND AFRAID THAT I HAD BEEN SCAMMED -- I WAS WITHIN MY RIGHTS TIMELINETO CANCELL AND WAS COMPLETELY IGNORED AND FINALLY AFTER 10 CALLS TO THEIR OFFICE I WAS TOLD I COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE CONTRCAT AND THAT  BECAUSE IT HAD EXPIRED - THEY PURPOSELY AVOIDED MY CALLS WAITING FRO THE TIME TO GO BY-- AT THAT TIME I WAS ADVISED THAT IF I DID NOT GO FORWARD I WOULD GET A LIEN ON MY HOME - BEING STUCK AND NOT ABLE TO LOSE MY MONEY I WAS FORCED TO ALLOW NATIONWIDE TO BUILD MY POOL.  AFTER MMONTHS OF WAITING THEY FINALLY STARTED THE JOB ALMOST 4 MONTHS AFTER I SIGNED THE CONTRACT  -- FROM START TO FINISH THEY HAVE DONE A  HORRIFIC JOB! ONCE THE JOB IS STARTED IS WHEN THE REAL FUN STARTS -- YOU ARE AT THEIR MERCY - NO WORK GETTING DONE - AND YOUR BACKYARD IS TOTAL DISARAY!
I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS FROM THE START - FROM THE SIZE OF THE POOL BEING SMALLER THAN WAS ORIGINALLY SPOKEN ABOUT TO A WATERFALL THAT I WAS CHARGED OVER $10,000 FOR THAT AGAIN LOOKS HORRIBLE LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF A FLINSTONE MOVIE! THEIR SALES PERSON SANTIAGO PAINTED A GREAT PICTURE OF THIS COMPANY BUT ONCE THEY HAVE YOU STUCK IN A CONTRACT -- YOU ARE TOTALLY SCREWED! IT HAS BEEN OVER 8 MONTHS SINCE MY CONTRACT HAS BEEN SIGNED AND MY POOL IS STILL NOT COMPLETED!  ANY POTENTIALS POOL BUYERS OUT THERE -- DONT EVEN CONSIDER THIS COMPANY -- THEY ARE A COMPLETE JOKE -- NOTHING BUT MAJOR SCAM ARTISTS AND COMPANIES LIKE THIS ONE IS WHAT GIVE POOL COMPANIES A BAD NAME !

I HOPE THIS REPORT HELPS OTHER PEOPLE AND IT DOES NOT LET THIS
COMPANY GET AWAY WITH STEALING PEOPLES HARD EARNED MONEY!
