It's a shame that people can get on this site and write whatever they want, not confirmed, unrelated, and untrue to try to extract money from a business. Pam wanted to purchase a bus and have it converted. She paid me a down payment on the bus, I built it out how she wanted, but never was paid.... She did write me $6,000 in bad checks. She was offer the bus to drive away, she lived in it for a year, she has had every government agency come down and investigate (DMV, Police etc) I offer to go to arbitration... that did not work. I stored the bus for a year for her to come up with some kind of a plan, I only asked to cover the material cost used in it, and all she could do was complain, and try to get goverment agency to come after me. Then she talks about things I own, employees, housing, she is not a well person. I did nothing wrong. I have over 10,000 customers, I have 5 unhappy customers in a 30 year time frame. Of those 5. Of those 5, 3, were just trying to get out of paying for something they purchased, used and would not return in the condition they got it. No, I am not perfect, but I am honest and will work all things out went people our honest with me. If anyone should have a question, please call me at (((ROR redacted))) CLICK here to see why Rip-off Report, as a matter of policy, deleted either a phone number, link or e-mail address from this Report.
