Complaint Review: Andy Schunk - Toronto, Ontario

These types of people need to be exposed !

I had just sold my house when an "Old Friend" unexpectedly arrived for a visit.

I had my own firewood business. He said he wanted to get involved in the business but said the way I was doing it was " too much work". Soon he had found an expensive firewood processor on the internet.He said we should look into it. I had money and agreed.

He didnt have a nickel to his name but he told me he owned his house in Ontario.

Afetr being convinced by him that leasing the firewood processor was the right thing to do we set out to Ontario from BC to get the Cord King.

When we got to Ontario Andy waas also looking at a Dodge Diesel pickup that he had his eye on.

He needed a downpayment to get the truck and since we would need a way to get the processor out west to BC I lent him the downpayment of $2000 which he assured me he would pay back as soon as he could.

I went to the bank and got the deposit for the Cord King which was $14,000.

We hit the road and I was anticipating getting back to BC and getting to work and recouping some of the money I lent Andy.

When we arrived in BC there was a huge snowfall and we couldnt get logs to process into firewood.The Cord King sat all winter.I even bought the p***k a pair of $200 workboots !!!

THe next summer I tried to buy all the logs I could and make this thing work.

I spent $4000 on one load of logs and another $8000 on another load. The agreement was everything would split down the middle-COSTS AND PROFIT !

Then I got fuel cards for the cardlock for our fuel. I paid ALL THE BILLS.

Fuel for his truck- fuel for the processor etc. etc.

I split all the profit and gave Andy half of everything.

He said he had to send money  home and would pay me "later".

In the end  Andy owed me close to $40,000 dollars. PLUS a Ten Thousand dollar personal loan.

I was making all the payments on the processor @$4000 a month.

More than twice these payments mysteriously disapeared from Andys bank account and the lease people called me.I asked Andy what happened to the payment? He said it must have  gone  for his truck payment ! I was choked ! But had to dish out another $4000 or lose the machine.

THe fuel bills added up to d**n near another ten grand !

Andy went back to Ontario for Christmas and I never got as much as a phone call from him telling me where he was - for more than a month !!!

THe processor got reposessed eventually.

I asked Andy to just repay me the ten grand personal loan and forget about all the other money owed. I  never heard a word back from him for the longest time . When I was in Ontario I finally got him on the phone. I met with him and had him sign a paper saying he would pay me $500 a month OR if his house sold  he would pay the outstanding amount IN FULL- TEN GRAND.

This paper was signed by Andy and witnessed by a friend of mine.THat was in October 2010.

Its now mid February 2011. I have no cheque in my mailbox- no communication- no replies to my endless emails.

I have to go to Ontario now in the spring and take the little bugger to court.

I'M NOT GIVING UP ON MY TEN GRAND YET

AFTER GROWING UP WITH THIS GUY AS A KID- HE HAS BECOME A REAL CREEP !

HE WILL GET WHAT HE DESERVES SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE.

THE FARTHER YOU KEEP AWAY FROM HIM -THE BETTER.

GOOD RIDDANCE ARSEHOLE
