Complaint Review: Wholesale Chairs

We are a small church in bad need of new chairs for our Friendship Center.  After researching several companies we settled on this guy.  I called a couple of his references and he seemed to check out okay.  We paid him $3750 in full on April 11, 2013 for 150 qty chairs that were supposed to arrive within 2 weeks.

After 4 weeks, we recieved 50 chairs.  After another 6 weeks I received another 50 chairs.  I never received the balance and when I asked for my money back, he offered to send me a check for the 50 chairs and that we can repurchase them when they come in.  It took several more weeks and then I received a check for $1670 that bounced.

This guy has come up with every excuse in the book and to this day he has not made the check good nor have I received the remaining 50 chairs.  It was at this time I found the 26+ complaints about how Larry Hoffman goes under the name of several different companies and steals money from people, even a little church in Delray Beach Florida and a single mom of three that is being held responsible!
