Complaint Review: Discount Blind And Shade Factory - Chandler Arizona

C - Phoenix, Arizona Thank you for your advise. I will go ahead and file w/ROC, and BBB. I've already filed with the Attorney Gen. My husband and I did receive the products. NOT ALL, the shutters were not what we ordered, the job was incomplete. The reason for my husband and I being so upset is when Kristen called my husband and I she threatened to put a lean on our home. That is when I told her she has ripped off so many people and she then told me she was the victim. That is where the problem is. They did not deliver in 6-8 weeks like they said, they didn't deliver the products that we ordered, and the job was incomplete, mind you the quality is VERY POOR. And she has the nerve to tell me she wiil put a lean on our home and collect was is owed to her. What about what she owes everone else. What rights does Kristen and her husband have?

Nora, I filed at report with the ROC, Attorney Gen. office and the BBB. The ROC will send a letter to Discount Blind and Shade (they probably won't respond) they have 10 days to respond then you request a hearing. If Kristen and her husband dont show you win. You can recover your money from the ROC recovery fund. If they file for Chapter 7 you/we will need to contact the Bankrupcy Court and ask for a stay to recover you money. If you are out a sizable amount get an attorney. You can request that your legal fee's are paid if you win. Also, ask for pain and suffering. Kristen and Ken AKA crooks can only file for Chapter 7 every 7 years if they do and you/we dont ask for a stay they get all their judgments wiped clean and we get nothing. I've been checking the courts and its not posted that they have filed for Chapter 11 or 7 at this time. But as soon as its posted the judge will be listed. You can write a letter or show up. If you show up its best to have an attorney-they can move you through the court process. Most attorney will talk to you for free on the phone and a good one will tell you if their fee's are worth your time. I'm not out as much as some people but enough for me to do my own leg work. Also, the person who took my report at the ROC was all over this mess were in. I felt from my conversation with them that the ROC is not taking this lightly.

I just cannot believe all the information that has been put out there. My question is? Who will pay for all this? and who will be making the final decisions? Will it go to court? or will Kristen and Mr.Montoya collect what she is claiming is due to them. Being she feels she and her family are the victims here. As she told me they lost EVERYTHING!! Can Kristen put a lean on personal property? Who are the real victims here?

Discount Blind And Shade Factory ripoff- Somebody is NOT telling the thruth-Search Shoreline Window Fashions on the Ripoff report Buyers beware of LESTER POLINAR SEBAY, a former Sales Representative, for SHORELINE WINDOW FASHIONS. Chandler Arizona Lester Polinar Sebay - Shoreline Window Fashions Grand theft, Ripoff sceme as a Sales Representative for SHORELINE WINDOW FASHIONS based out of Oxnard, Vallejo California *REBUTTAL employee ..CALIFORNIA BLINDS & SHUTTERS INC Company Lester Polinar Sebay - Shoreline Window Fashions Address: 127 Falcon Dr. Vallejo California 94589 U.S.A. Phone Number: 707-642-7015 Fax: Buyers beware of LESTER POLINAR SEBAY, a former Sales Representative, for SHORELINE WINDOW FASHIONS. I purchased 10 Planation Shutters by SHORELINE WINDOW FASHIONS from Lester P. Sebay in May 2005. Our windows were measured, a work order invoice issued and payment given to Lester P. Sebay. Lester P. Sebay cashed our check but never submitted our work order. We have done business with Lester P. Sebay twice in the past with no problems. Lester P. Sebay's RIPOFF SCEME was to gain the trust of customers and swindle them out of their money hoping it would be too time consuming to file reports with local authorities or agencies. WRONG, MR. SEBAY! I contacted SHORELINE WINDOW FASHIONS (located in Oxnard, CA)and discussed SEBAY'S ripoff with the Manufactoring Manager, Mr. Patai. LESTER P. SEBAY was terminated by SHORELINE WINDOW FASHIONS. I was further told by Tony Margot (vice-pres. of Shoreline) that SHORELINE was not responsible for any refund and to "shove it". I filed a grand theft report with the local authorities. In addition, I also filed a complaint with the California State Licensing Board against LESTER P. SEBAY for selling without a license. The D. A. filed on both charges against LESTER P. SEBAY. LESTER P. BEBAY was eventually arrested in October 2005 in Livermore, CA working at WENTE WINERY on that warrant for grand theft and failure to appear. Legal civil issues have been also filed in Solano County against LESTER P. SEBAY. I may not ever get my money back but I'll make sure LESTER P. SEBAY will spend some time in jail for his RIPOFF schemes. For those who have been swindled, do what it takes to file charges or take any legal action. Do not let them get away with this. LESTER P. SEBAY will have that felony charge of grand theft haunting him for quite awhile (let's not forget his misdemeanor charge of selling without a license. Beware of doing business with companies that hire these "ripoff" representatives without performing proper background checks. Dave Vacaville, California U.S.A. Rebuttal REBUTTAL employee Submitted: 12/22/2005 11:07:13 AM Modified: 12/22/2005 11:07:13 AM CALIFORNIA BLINDS & SHUTTERS INC I am writing in response to DAVE of Vacaville and his loss. The contract written was done so between "DAVE" and "CALIFORNIA BLINDS & SHUTTERS INC" and NOT with Shoreline Window Fashions, Inc. I spoke with DAVE several months ago and explained to him that the contract he entered into is with Mr. Sebay's company CALIFORNIA BLINDS & SHUTTERS, INC. and not with us. I told DAVE that Mr. Sebay had worked very briefly for our company and was released very shortly after he started for lack of performance. We perform background checks on all employees as per labor board standards and not beyond. As far as me telling anyone to "SHOVE IT" is false. I told DAVE we as a company can do nothing and he should seek legal advice of how to proceed and I was going to end our phone call. Shoreline Window Fashions, Inc. feels for DAVE'S loss, but is in no way responsible for the dealings of Mr. Sebay or his company. Tony Margott V.P. of Operations Shoreline Window Fashions, Inc. Oxnard, CA. Tony - Oxnard, California U.S.A. Rebuttal Consumer Suggestion Submitted: 1/8/2006 3:23:47 PM Modified: 1/8/2006 3:23:47 PM Margott responce Mr. Margott's responce to this customer sounds about the same as his responce to my order as well. Both he and his brother Mike Margott have had little regard to customers thier company is directly involved with. They have been in business for years as retailers under many names and with many partners. Tony Margott has an anger management issue and has spent time behind bars for those issues, just another reason not to have anything to do with this company and these individuals. Robert - Oxnard, California U.S.A. Rebuttal REBUTTAL Individual responds Submitted: 1/9/2006 1:45:47 PM Modified: 1/9/2006 1:45:47 PM And you would be? We here at Shoreline Window Fashions, Inc. would love to speak to you about your troubles. Problem is you seem to want to be anonymous for some reason. As with DAVE from Vacaville, we do not deal with the public. We are wholesale to the trade. The company YOU picked to do your window covering products should be a licensed contractor. If they are not, you can report the company YOU went with to the Contractors state licensing board. Again, as I stated to DAVE from Vacaville, We are only the manufacturer and you should seek legal advice. We can not be held responsibly for the choices you the consumer make.

David Patia used to work for Shoreline and now he works with Kristen Wolf- I think all of these companies/people are in on this together! Sounds like Shoreline is also ripping people off!

The person mentioned in this response, Michael Margott is the CEO of Shoreline Window Fashions, Inc. located in Oxnard, CA. Shoreline Window Fashions, Inc. is owed $317, 000.00. The other vendors in our industry are owed another $250,000.00 approximately. We here at Shoreline Window Fashions, Inc. watch this forum closely and typically never respond to the things posted unless it implicates us. Kristen claims to be a victim and to have no association with Patai. The person she refers to is David Patai.

I don't really understand what is going on..I received a call this morning from Kristen. She was wanting to collect the remaining amount of the money. She told me that either we pay or she will get her trustee/attorney. This is her 5th attempt within this week. She told me that my husband and I would end up paying more then what the remaining balance is. I then told her how I've been reading how her and her husband have ripped off so many people and did not receive their products. I also told her that I read nothing but bad things about her and her husband. I metinoned that I read that she and her husband had opened other companies under other names she then told me that was not against the law. She continued to tell me her and her husband lost everything and they trusted these people by the names of Michael Margot (?) and also mentioned another name Avanti oh and Patai (?) and that they were the bad people, not her. Also, told me she was a good person and didn't intend to hurt anyone and her intentions are still to deliver the products to these people that are without and that her husband and her had a reputable company since 2004. I just listened. Again, she asked what my final decision would be. Either pay-up or get the trustee involved. I told her get the trustee involved and the judge would make the final decision. This woman was almost in tears by the end of our conversation. I don't know if it was from anger or what??
