Complaint Review: Kamy Investments - Denton Texas

My husband and I have a 1 year old and we applied to live at a fixer upper in Denton. I was introduced to "Koz" the owner of the house after filling out the application and putting down $500 to hold the property. It was understood that this money was nonrefundable if I were to be approved and chose to back out. I signed the receipt that I understood this. After meeting Koz he tells me that he will approve us overnight if we can fix the fence by Monday(it was out of code). I said oh no there's no way that we would be able to do that over the weekend (it was Thursday) and I hadn't even gotten them a copy of my husbands photo ID. I unexpectedly got a call from Koz at 11:30pm that night telling me we were approved, I was a little in shock but took the information he gave me. He was speaking very quickly and throwing out multiple numbers, he said that since the fence needed to be fixed now that he would do that as a favor and not raise our rent. At one point we were going to owe $2900 then that dropped to $2785 and then he said that if I could bring him $1000 the next day we could get started. I expressed that my husband would be working long shifts over the weekend and Monday his day off would be a better day for us to come into the office. This was not okay because it apparently had to be done right then. He said that I could sign my husbands name because it was just a regular contract with no drama and that it would be just a few minutes. After I said no I will not sign his name, he wanted to meet at my husbands work after midnight to sign papers. I said that we would really prefer to do this during business hours at your office. He said he works 24/7 but we agreed on 11am Sunday and that I would bring $1500. I called he didn't answer, I picked up the money orders as suggested by him and he said he would fill them out. He called me later on Sunday sounding annoyed (he missed our appt not me) but said that they can make another exception for me and we planned for 11am on Monday. First thing Monday I go to the bank to exchange my money orders for a cashiers check for reasons to have more of a paper trail, Koz only gave me the option for cash or money order. I ask who it should be made out to and he gives me the name "Amy Sadegian" I replied with who is that and he didn't respond so I left my bank without the check and decided to call again to see about meeting up. I called a and questioned who amy was he said the trustee when I questioned why I couldn't make it out to a company he was beating around the bush. I then said okay well we can meet anytime you're available we just want to make sure everythings in order with the lease and the fence before we sign it. This caused him to become very angry he started telling me to call Bill (no idea who this is) to fix the fence he then said "you're weird! You're the weirdest person I've ever dealt with" I asked him if he could please stop speaking to me this way but he continued to get more angry and was just speaking aggressively I wasn't able to pick up everything he said but he then hung up. I called the office and began describing what just happened and saying that we were ready to do this but he isn't holding up his end and missed our original meeting and then hung up on me. The secretary just said she didn't really know what to do or what I should do. He called me back I answered and he continued with being angry telling me that I caused so many more problems by being so demanding. He was cursing and using the Lords name in vein I again pleaded that he stop speaking to me this way. He said that because of my attitude he would now need everything (either the $2785 or the $2900, I'm not sure b/c he never verified the number) would be due all right now. At this point my husband got on the phone and asked when he would be available in person and he hung up again. He then called back but my husband texted saying we need to speak in person because of how he was conducting himself on the phone and we needed to be somewhere there was a witness to his vulgarity. He sent some hardly understandable texts and one said if we don't call right now it will be us passing on the property. So my husband called and asked when we can meet he said he has 10 people in front of us and he wouldn't be in the office until later so my husband said okay well what time. Koz avoided answering the question and then began asking us questions like do you have pets? And my husband asked are you looking at our application? He said no its not in front of me and was going on to insult us more and my husband said okay well this is why we need to be doing this in person and expressed that we won't do business over the phone. Koz then said he was done with us and not dealing with us bye bye and hung up yet again. So we proceeded to go to the office to get our $500 because we held up our end he did not. He refused to give our money back so we expressed we would be seeking legal action, he tried to argue some to get a rise out of us but we simply said may God bless you and left. He then texted a long message trying to get us to come back and sign the lease. We are out $630, $130 for application and $500 to hold the house that was supposed to transfer as the deposit. I am not so concerned with the $130 if I cannot get it back as I understand applications are non refundable but because we were fully prepared to go through with this and he continued to just end the conversation by hanging up on us and then by saying he's done with us on top of missing our meeting time, I think we should be entitled to our $500. We are thankfully in a situation where we wont starve right now without this $500 but he is a section 8 landlord and I believe he could be very fraudulent, he needs to be stopped!
