Jen in Altus, I have heard from several buyers of Fuller Homes that they had liens on their homes because of unpaid sub's. One sub recently said in a court trial--where he was a witness--that he had not always gotten paid from Fuller, but that they kept working for them because overall they were making money from his jobs, (something to that effect). If what you say is true, that your company went under because this one corporation didn't pay you, that's disgusting and I hope you eventually get paid and get your business back. Were you also told by attorneys in OK that if you sued you'd never collect, etc etc? I would like to talk w/you. Please contact me thru www.hadd.com go to "chapters" then "oklahoma" and you can email me thru the site.

My husband was a paint sub-contractor for Richard Fuller Homes a few years ago in D/FW. Richard Fuller Homes got us for 20+ thousand dollars. We would really appreciate any ideas on how to collect. Since then, because of the paint bill we were left with and no way to pay, we have filed bankruptcy and are no longer have a painting business. We have heard from several painters that this builder had done this to, not to mention other contractors. Unfortuantly, we believed their lies about paying us and kept painting for them. I guess we were owed so much we felt we wouldn't get paid if we quit painting for them. They knew it and kept making the promises that it would be in the next check...it never came. We finally gave up and we haven't seen anything from them. We once had a quarter of a million dollar producing company with payroll over $100,000....to making $33,500 a year with nothing.

We frequently saw Fuller's supervisor of construction mowing the model's lawn when a prospective buyer was coming. That's probably because they sold off their lots and weren't building here, so he had no construction to supervise??? But Fuller still owns around 50 lots in Oklahoma so some of us wonder if he's building here under another name, or like MacArthur, planning to return.
