US Home Corporation Rip-off
Go to a model home - it is beautiful! The friendly salesman will
help you pick out color and tell you that you have a two-ten
warranty on the home. You think that it is safe to buy a home and for the first year you call them and they come out to fix minor items.
Then the ground begins to really settle and the cracks in the walls become larger. The doors begin to separate. Maybe you spent $20,000 to put a pool in the backyard and because the ground was not engineered correctly the pool cracks in two! The pool company says sorry - the ground was not properly prepared.
You say - get a lawyer! One that specializes in construction
defects! Sure, they charge a pretty penny to do an investigation, maybe survey the neighbors to see if a class action suit is in order.
STOP right there - this is pointless - you see US Homes has figured out that they can set up each neighborhood as its own corporation - that's why they name the neighborhoods now. By naming it as its own corporation they can have just that corporation go bankrupt.
It takes only and year or two to build the neighborhood and move on to the next. After the builder has left the property all they need to do is put it into bankruptcy and there is nothing left to sue.
This leaves the homeowners with no recourse.
