R&B Homebuilders - Mike Ross - Gilbert Blevins ripoff extotionist's blackmailers Bakersfield California
I sat down with Mike Ross and Gilbert Blevins of R&B Homebuilders and signed an offer to purchase real estate (new home) on February 29, 2004. The agreed price for the home was $224,800 and $73,000 for the lot for a total of $297,800. I informed R&B I would be having a swimming pool built for $25,000 and several upgrades done to the home. For eight months I was in constant contact with these homebuilders always getting an updated final sales price. On September 29, 2004, I received my last update after all upgrades were made and my final sales price was $355,000.
On Thursday October 07, 2004, I made my escrow deposit so that escrow would close on Friday October 08, 2004. One hour after I made my escrow deposit R&B Homebuilders submitted a final price amendment to the title company raising the price by $10,000. Being stuck in an apartment for eight months I had no other choice than to agree to this price increase. Mike Ross and Gilbert Blevins of R&B Homebuilders are greedy lying coniving unethical people who will pretend to be your friend and work with you on the building of your home right up until the end then they will scam you for more money.

Thu, June 09, 2005
Mr. Mike Ross, Mr. Gilbert Blevins (R&B Homebuilders)and I appeared before a Small Claims Judge and reached a settlement regarding this matter. As the plaintiff in this matter, I agreed to update this report with details of the settlement. In turn, Mr. Ross and Mr. Blevins (R&B Homebuilders) have agreed to certain terms of the settlement that I will also disclose in this rebuttal report.
When I submitted my intial report, I did so out of anger and frustration. I immediately contacted the administrator's of Rip Off Report and requested that my report be retracted. I was notified that this was not possible and that I may resubmit a rebuttal to try and clean things up.
I submitted a rebuttal in an attempt to clean up words I used in anger such as extortionists or blackmailers.
R&B Homebuilders has agreed to a monetary settlement and has also agreed to refrain from pursuing any litigation against me regarding any of the reports I have made at the Rip Off Report Website including Libal or Slander. R&B Homebuilders has agreed to provide me in writing within 30 days a signed letter to this effect.
R&B Homebuilders and I adjourned from the Small Claims Court on good terms. I shook hands with Mr. Ross and Mr. Blevins. Both gentleman inquired if there were any problems with my new home and I informed them that to date there was none with the exception that some minor work has yet to be completed. I was assured that the work will be completed in a timely manner.
I have always been satisfied with the quality and construction of my home with no complaints. I am satisfied with the outcome and I have no hard feelings towards either individuals who represent R&B Homebuilders.

Using the words extortionist's and blackmailers is an incorrect use of words on my part. There was no intention to libel or slander Gilbert Blevins or Mike Ross of R&B Homebuilders. The circumstances of this report are clear, I believa a breach of contract occurred as the price of my home was increased by $10,000 the day before escrow closed. Propspective homebuyers should not have to endure what my wife and I have. Greed is simply the root of all evil. Two things in life you should be true to, your word and your reputation.
