Alpine Custom Buildings Matt K Jensen Legal Theft, Sell Construction, Collect Money, Disappear, Declare bankruptsy, Get Rich Seattle Washington
On June 2004 I(purchaser) entered into a building contract with Alpine Custom Buildings(seller), paid a down payment of $8,619 {normal for pole building contracts). The salesperson said building construction would commence shortly after building permit issue.
The building permit was issued in September 2004 and I patiently waited for the construction to begin. After a couple of months went by I attempted to contact Alpine. Alpine spokesman stated they were in the process of scheduling the construction and a contractor would be contacting me soon.
A couple more months went by during which I attempted to contact Alpine several times. A couple of times I actually talked to persons at Alpine and got the old "we are really busy and you are next in line for construction start excuse".
I obtained Alpine's owner Matt K Jensen's phone number and called him. He stated he didn't do scheduling and hung up on me. Now I am upset and start emailing Alpine and calling Alpine and even sent a personal rep. to the office. Matt Jensen threatened him and threw him out of the office.
Around January of this year I started to demand construction or return of my down payment. At this time I start writing to the State Attorney General's office, consumer protection groups, various other consumer associations, and as you probably already know, nobody cares and even if they did they couldn't do anything about it.
March 2, the building permit expired and once again I demanded return of my down payment. Today, March 9 I get a letter from a Seattle lawyer's office stating Alpine is in receivership. Meanwhile, my spies tell me that Matt Jensen is living in new house in a very expensive neighborhood, driving a high end SUV and generally living the good life.
Now you probably wonder how an intelligent person like me could get involved with such a shady character. I can tell you that there are a bunch of us guys that bought Mr. Jensen's house and car. Check out Washington State's Labor and Industries site for the complaints against Alpine.
Alpine is probably gone (web site still active though) but Jensen is still around. I warn you now, be very careful if you ever do business with him.

Randy, I have a few questions for you. Have you resolved this issue yet? did you get your refund? Do you have a signed contract with Matthew, or a representative of his company? I see that as of today 9/13/05 that your name does NOT appear on the L&I web site as a complaintant. Why? Have you contacted Better Business Bureau. Have you started a case within the court system for THEFT?

At the end of April 2005, Alpine Custom Buildings, a Limited Liability Corporation, was sold through receivership process (sheriff's sale). The assets of the company were nil so those of us that have money invested will surely lose most if not all of it. As near as I can determine, the only one who has gained anything is the previous owner of Alpine, Matthew K Jensen. One of the worst things about this transaction is Principals(owners) of Companies formed as Limited Liability Corporations do not share the liability of the company. So my advice to any of you that contract with LLC's is to keep your money in your pocket until you get something in return.
