So I have filed a Chapter 13 bankruptcy in an atempt to pay some bills and to keep these vulchers from slapping a lien on my home! Well Global contacted my attorney's on 7-8-04 and then they called here twice in the same day while I was online and away from my computer. Today July 14th the called under private caller and left a friendly message on my answering machine. He said his name was Kevin and that he was from the collections dept. He stated that they had placed a lien on my home because they felt that I was not going to pay them any money and that I should call them as soon as possible to resolve this matter. Now that the dice doesn't roll in their direction they are getting desperate enough to be held in contempt for contacting me. So I boo booed and lost loretta's number. I have to try and find my tape recorder so I can call them back and let them know my chpt 13 case # and my lawyers name and number. I'm recording it so that they can't say I never notified them! These people are so arrogant and stupid that they think us southern people won't be smart enough to fight them. Everyone needs to understand this... if you have gotten the pool installed already you need to seek legal advice immediately. Don't wait around for them to roll over and die they won't do that. They will slap a lien on your home. They tried to threaten my lawyers and say that they had a lien on it.Well they have a lien alright ... they put a lien on the pool. Not my home and by law if they put a lien on my home now i'll own a free pool. Once you get them where it hurts..( their pockets) they won't stop threatening you, but they can hang their own throats. if you need further advice I suggest you [Place your comments below and be sure to include your FULL contact information so Rip-off Report can contact you.]if you have already had a pool installed! It's worth the quarter! Well if rip off don't bleep it out. lol. Sincerly,

I have been in contact with Loretta I would say we have become good friends thru this ordeal. I also have spoken with Don Dare from the news station he is coming soon to film my pool. I have spoken with others and let them know as well as emailed photos to them to show them what a magnificent pool and mess they were willing to invest in as well. I have met with a lawyer and I am filing bankruptcy. My bankruptcy is keeping them from slapping a lien on my home. We have surendered our pool so now it's up to them if they decide to re negotiate being in the "repossession" buisness or not. Anyhow if anyone feels they need to talk to me or have suggestions I'm always up for some good, free, advice. Ya'll have a good day and God Bless!

Christena - I don't know if you've gotten this resolved or not - two suggestions. Lorretta (I think)in Tennessee is evidently working with a local television station - even if you are not in the same part of the state, they WILL be interested in your story. The other thing is - on face of the contract, there should be a section that has a list of things with little boxes by it - things like "no stump to remove", "customer to remove stumps", etc. If it is NOT marked there that digging is required, I cannot see how you will be held responsible for this. Also - since they did destroy your property unnecessarily, they should be responsible for repair (especially if it is not noted on your contract that digging will be required). Keep in mind, that just as the sales people for this company are independent contractors, so are the installers. But, this does not release Global Sun from the liability.

I recently received a letter stating that they were going to do a EFT ( Electronic Funds Transfer) on my checking account starting on the 5th of June, and every month thereafter. Funny part is I never agreed to a EFT and I called the gentleman on the letter and stated that to him. He then told me that me and my husband did sign that and we even wrote down our checking account number and gave them a voided check. Now here is where everything fraudulant comes in and thus lets you know why they don't want you to consult with your sales rep anymore. Our sales rep Kit Tuck stated to us that she needed a voided check so that they could prove we had a checking account to make our payment with. As stupid as that sounds my husband and I agreed on it cause she made it make more sense to prove that. Anyhow I nor my husband wrote our account number on anything nor gave them permission to do so. I told the man I wanted a copy of that statement that we supposedly signed.... duely noted I'm waiting for that one to come in the mail, all the while I'm consulting a bankruptcy lawyer on the terms of them being able to put a lien on my home and I have contacted my bank on the fact of them trying to EFT my account.
