in her complaint, rosemary states that they were refunded all of their money for the carpet in question.
rosemary s husband had contacted me and asked if i could get the carpet they were looking for. i then contacted an broker in florida who deals with all brands of carpet. he told me the one i had asked for was available. i then gave mr. berger a price on the carpet and he requested i order it for him.
when the carpet arrived, the installer picked it up at the shipping company and took it to the berger home to install. when the product was unwrapped mr. berger noticed it,did not have the same backing as the sample he had shown me at time of order. mr berger then contacted me and i called my supplier. my supplier told me it was the same carpet but with a different backing. i let mr berger know what i was told, and he said he did not want the carpet. i told him i would refund all of his money as soon as i received a refund from my supplier. the berger s received every penny back that they had paid me.
i was shocked when received a summons to appear in small claims court regarding this matter. i was sued for the difference of what the bergers had to pay another dealer for the carpet they wanted, and the price i had given them on the carpet. we appeared in court and the referee ruled in their favor. i was astounded to say the least. the referee is no longer in that position, and i was told that he lost his position due to questionable rulings. unfortunately, small claims decisions are not able to be appealed. rosemary claims i perjured myself and declared bankruptcy to avoid paying them their $1500.00. there were no perjury charges filed against me and i certainly would not have filed bankruptcy over such a small amount.
i would recommend to rosemary that she recant the claim that i perjured myself, since it is slanderous and untrue. if anyone wants to check on my business dealings you will not find anything negative other than this complaint. to think that you deserve more than your money back when returning a product to a store is ridiculous, and i feel most everyone would agree. rosemary was clearly trying to take advantage and in my opinion is a "nut case."
