Two and a half years ago, our nightmare just began with Fuller Homes, too. We are in the OKC area. I see lots of complaints now on all three states Fuller builds in, NM, TX, and OK, since I started volunteering for Homeowners Against Deficient Dwellings, www.hadd.com People should file a complaint at hadd.com too and here at the Rip-off Report.com. They can use the number of complaints to show the legislature what a disaster the home building industry is. The BBB here, after two years of pressuring, FINALLY changed Fuller's rating to unsatisfactory, but they only admit to one of the complaints being unresolved. I know these complaints are not resolved...that's just what the BBB calls your complaint when they get sick of it. They unfortunately waited til Fuller had apparently stopped building here for over a year before they changed it...big fat help to consumers that DO THEIR HOMEWORK before buying, huh? Same for the Attorney Generals office here...they don't make consumer complaints available to the public. We really can only rely on message boards it seems, since even the court sites don't always work reliably on any given day, and only reflect the tip of the iceberg since most people DON'T SUE. There are a lot of people that should be suing their builders. Unfortunately it isn't as easy as the public usually thinks it is to do that. Your words about someone just starting their nightmare made me shudder. I hope that with the help of this site, HADD.com, and maybe a good lawyer if they can find one, they won't still be battling this in 2005 and beyond.
