The Ripoff Report made by Patsy H. Williams is totally wrong-What actually happened is this-
The summer of 2007 Patsy H. Williams hired me to do a job at Sky Valley, Ga. The job was actually finished once then she changed her mind several times on the design of the island & stove & several other things-this cost me money each time. She was very unpleasant to work with almost from the beginning.
I did a lot of work but as she kept changing her mind & I was losing money I knew the wisest thing for me to do was to get my equipment, tools, etc. & leave the job. The day I finally decided to give up I had picked up custom cabinets I had built to suit her & which I had no use for & I was stuck with them but even considering this I felt it best to get away from this woman.
When she realized I was sincere in pulling off the job she asked me to stay. If she was so unhappy why would she want me to continue?
I billed her for the work completed & she responed she did not owe me that much. Her attorney called & offered me a pittance of what she owed me & at that point we went to court. Considering I had all the paperwork, pictures, etc. the Judge did rule in my favor. I thought it was finally over but her attorney filed an appeal. At this point I hired an attorney & again we were supposed to go to court. I was very busy at the time & my attorney fees were mounting so my attorney advised me to settle out of court which I did for much less than was owed me. Throughout a process I understand she had done this to at least one other contractor so contractor beware. I have been in business for 25 yrs. & I have never run across someone this hard to work with or knew how to rip off a honest contractor so well. I also have had no complaints such as this before or since.
I have many good references if interested.
