This rebuttal is aimed at the author of this posting who was too cowardly to reveal their name. What was NOT mentioned was that Bradford P. Chapman Jr. and I were lovers for over nine years and jointly owned the above mentioned business and a house as well.
Associates directed me to this posting so unfortunately, this charade continued. I am the subject of the accuser's juvinielle finger-pointing which covered all privacy/safety issues such as my location and phone number.
I also was a provider in this relationship especially when Mr. Chapman lost numerous jobs during our relationship. He moved in with me and even proposed marraige.
He obtained power of attourney through a very long paper trail and in the end spent many hours shredding our personal documents and emptied our entire home while I was running the store. Parking outside the house and business for hours watching me was just plain creepy, there are plenty of witnesses to this behavior. Our couples counselor even called him creepy to his face. It got to a point where she made him leave the room to speak to me alone about sociopathic behavior.
The above "catch words" seem more like a self-projected confession than anything about myself. "America's guest?" Please. I don't think the author knows what he/she is even saying.
I spoke with the police many times but they could not do anything about it since both our names were involved in the home and business, a business in which he claimed authority and I had the responsibilities.
To come home to a housee we made together that he emptied while I was at work in a matter of hours horrified me as well as everyone else. Believe me, he took EVERYTHING, my belongings, my bible, my personal photos and Christmas ornaments from childhood, the mailbox, even the dog!
He embezzled from the business which was captured on surveillance until he decided rip out that system as well so to not be caught. Since everything was in both our names I would've had to drag him to court costing thousands of dollars.
After nearly a decade, he left me homeless, jobless and penniless all on my fortieth birthday. He used the law as a weapon in the form of two life-altering restraining orders which were dismissed immediately. He even extended it to my parents, in their seventies, and lived 50 miles away. He called the police on my father who phoned him to ask why he was doing all this and my father passed away thereafter.
Mr. Chapman testified that someone told him to do this.
It wasn't until a cease and desist order was put on him by my lawyer that he finally had to back off. Now he's being spotted where I live. Doesn't that go against what he testified in court?
Stalking is against the law but I guess he won't stop, cyber or otherwise. Our last conversation ended with him saying to me as well as my mother, "I'm not going out of this without taking everything with me."
The legality of it all ended with a court settlement that I would not criminally press charges against him. I could not afford to anyhow. For him to make this agreement only further showed his guilt for many unmentioned matters. I was just trying to save my name.
I don't know if he wanted me homeless or in jail but he temporarily got his wish until the court saw through his deceptions. Those are two good places an individual would have a terrible time trying to explain themselves.
In the aftermath, I learned that the house had been refinanced eleven times in seven years by using his power of attourney, far too many than what I would have agreed to. Very convenient since Mr. Chapman purchased a brand new car days before his first attempted restraining order.
His refusal to cooperate led to our home falling into forclosure. Even at his bankruptcy hearing he would not cooperate to sell it and help the debt he got us into.
The above posting violated Ripoff Report's guidelines by printing my personal phone number, location, etc. I survived all of this becoming a stronger, wiser and more self-confident person. I'm back to where I was before I met Brad Chapman.
