Complaint Review: Access Denied Security - Sioux Falls South Dakota

"You are also right that nobody showed up at your SMALL CLAIMS COURT HEARING re: your final check. I'm not sure who was served or when/where." -Keith Haskell Well I know you were served Keith, because you CALLED me after you were served outraged that I wanted the money owed me, you know the money I worked for? I remember clearly my wife answered and you DEMANDED to talk to me, went off on a tirade of lies and BS "employment laws" you couldn't back up, then threated to sue me for "defimation of character" for "thousands of dollars". 1 flaw in that plan Keith, you have to have character to defame for that to work. Its not defimation of character when its the truth. I'm guessing you didn't show up for the court summons earlier in January for Craig either. So much for the "honest buisnessman" cover. Now everyone knows the truth, you're no better than the criminals you had us arresting. I take that back, you're worse, at least they did pretend to be a "good guy" they had the courtesy to stab people in the front, instead of the back.

I too, as his former landlord, am owed by Keith. I am not interested in de-faming him or anything else. I am only interested in getting paid for the rent due. In addition to initially giving them a break on their security deposit upon move in, we allowed them to continue living there even after it became clear that no money would be coming our way from them. Granted we eventually had to evict them to curb the financial damage being done, the fact still remains that we could have evicted them at any time along the way in which they were behind in their rent and we chose not to. (And to clarify Keith, the agreement we made with the county to not evict you for 60 days was based on their requirement that you pay the remaining balance due, which you never did, so that agreement was nullified). We let them stay primarily for their children, but also because I always gave Keith the benefit of the doubt, and still do. Based on what Keith has written in his rebuttels, he is interested in making things right for those that he rightfully owes. And nothing is more rightful than paying a debt to someone who's bent the rules, and stretched out the due dates of rent so as to allow him and his family's lives to not be turned upside down. I wish I didn't have do this in this public forum, but no responses from e-mails sent direct to them, failure to provide a forwarding address, and failure to respond within timeframes that Keith himself proposed has forced me to do this. So this is your chance Keith to prove yourself as the person you claim to be. Debts created within business are one thing, but this debt in your family life is different. I will be the first person to proclaim you as a good person in this public forum Keith, if you'd only make this right. I'm trying to be your ally, as I always have.

To quote you Keith: "You FINAL paycheck was HAND DELIVERED to you at CUB FOODS in Plymouth, MN ( I think on Highway 55 ) by me and was in fact marked 'FINAL PAYCHECK' which you signed and cashed, correct? YES, it was in fact NOT for the amount you expected as you gave only a few hours notice that you were going to quit, despite a written (and nearly industry wide policy at least in MN) that you have to give a 2 week notice or your pay goes down to minimum wage. THAT is how you were paid." You never provided this so called "written (and nearly industry wide policy at least in MN) that you have to give a 2 week notice or your pay goes down to minimum wage" I asked for a copy of it and never received it. And if its "Industry Wide" how come myself or none of the other employees have heard of it until you? And if this was such a "industry wide" policy why didn't you come to court to show the judge this? Yes I quit with a few hours notice, because like the rest of your employees I couldn't get by on bounced checks and BS week after week after week. You were served, and you didn't show, just like you didn't show for the rest of the employees suing you for owed wages. You told me you didn't show on the advice of your "legal team", I'm guessing they're a busy bunch judging from all the "fun" you've managed to get yourself into in both MN and SD. Your "Legal Team" should really talk to you more Keith you could learn things that will keep you out of trouble like "Don't Pepper Spray Police officers" and "Get a License to Own a Security Company in Minnesota" and the ever important "Don't Pose as a Governmet Collections Agent" __________ (For you folks who want to read Mr Haskells adventures for yourself) themostwantedcriminals.com/RoguesGalleryfor07-04-2006.html From the site: "A Tea, S.D., man faces rare charges of misusing the state seal. Investigators say he posed as a government collections agent and took money from local businesses. The investigation began when 44-year-old Keith Haskell allegedly sent several letters with the state seal logo on the letterhead, threatening businesses that owed money. Prosecutors say Keith Haskell posed as a government investigator. They say he sent out letters while working for other businesses as a collections agent, bullying people into paying up by lying. "Even me reading it would indicate to me that he was trying to threaten these people as though he was some sort of investigator for the state," says deputy state's attorney Dustin DeBoer. According to the website for Haskell's company "Access Denied," he and his wife are experienced in public safety. They offer to collect money for businesses that get bad checks. But the website doesn't mention Haskell is a convicted felon in Minnesota for forgery. He was arrested in Minnehaha County when the businesses that hired him to collect on bad checks never got any of their money back. "What he did with the collections of that money is still under investigation and there may be potential embezzlement charges coming from that," DeBoer says. Police say he's not a licensed private investigator in Minnesota as his website claims. And he's not employed by the state, even though he allegedly used the state seal on his letters in order to pocket cash. Investigators believe there are more victims out there. "I'm sure there were plenty of letters sent out that people think this was a legitimate situation," DeBoer says. The most serious charge Haskell is facing is grand theft for claiming he worked for the government, and it would pay rent on his office space. He's out of jail on bond and his company's website has already been taken down. Sioux Falls police encourage anyone who has done business with either The South Dakota Criminal Task Force" or "Access Denied" to contact them. -------------- Oh, and calling me "Don the Shoplifting Detective" which is an outright lie is called "S-L-A-N-D-E-R" I look forward to hearing from your "Legal Team" Stay out of trouble Keith!

Don; Apparently you are reading inly HALF of the post/rebutal to some of the topics here. I was unaware I could respond individually, but I will attempt to clear your situation up, or at least get to the bottom of it, if in fact, that is what you desire. IF THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU DESIRE, than I can only assume you are out to deliberately damage people, and business, and my legal team (you are SO AWARE that I have one - or I wouldnt be "out" despite all the postings that I would never see the light of day again....will be in contact with you.) #1. YES, you received payroll checks that were marked "Unavailable funds". It is my honest and true beleif that these were taken care of (as in you were paid) within 24 hours of you notifing our old company of the issue. #2. Our records do NOT show ANY NSF checks written to you in the banking records. If you have knowledge otherwise, please contact me directly-you know how! #3. You FINAL paycheck was HAND DELIVERED to you at CUB FOODS in Plymouth, MN ( I think on Highway 55 ) by me and was in fact marked "FINAL PAYCHECK" which you signed and cashed, correct? YES, it was in fact NOT for the amount you expected as you gave only a few hours notice that you were going to quit, despite a written (and nearly industry wide policy at least in MN) that you have to give a 2 week notice or your pay goes down to minimum wage. THAT is how you were paid. #4. How come you dont mention the pay ADVANCES you received for vehicle troubles, or the letter we wrote to your landlord THE FIRST WEEK YOU WORKED FOR US so you did not get evicted.......I supose your CREDIT REPORT (Remember, we run one at hiring) will clearly show just how financial stable you have been all of your life. #5. You are also right that nobody showed up at your SMALL CLAIMS COURT HEARING re: your final check. I'm not sure who was served or when/where. I am checking into the procedure to re hear the case if you would like......as I'm not aware that the old/closed company owes you anything. If they did, I can only asume it would be discharged in the upcomming Bankruptcy Court - a sad measure but one that is in fact a guaranteed right of a CORPORATION when they go broke. LASTLY Don, I am sorry you are so bitter, and seem so bent on retaliation and distruction to (at the VERY LEAST) a wife and children that have done NOTHING to you in any way shape or form. As far as your feelings towards me, admitedly some are probably deserved..........I just hope that some day you can let it quite consuming you! Like I said, if you want to chat - thats great. If not, please use caution as to what you post and what can be proven!

Employees, customers, buisness, Keith Haskell and Access Denied are like locust, set up shop,steal, con and screw until the heat is on, then skip town and start again. But its like the Johnny Cash Song, "You can run on for a long time, run on for a long time, run on for a long time, sooner or later God'll cut you down."
