Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

Eric Campbell was very nice in the beginning when we met him in August 2013.  He was going to do our siding, gutters, roof, and other minor things as we recently had hail damage done to our property.  

He NEVER gave us a signed contract or required us to put any money down.  He just kept saying, when the insurance money comes, sign the check over to me.  He wanted all the money when the only thing that was being done was the siding.  Everything else was going to wait till 2015. 

July 2014, he said he would have a crew come out and start the job and the material should be there in a few days.  Their current crew they have always had is working on a project out of state.  This pushed on to weeks and weeks.  Every week he would make up an excuse about why the material wasn’t dropped off at our property yet.  He wouldn’t call me back whenever I called him.  He would just text me back saying things like “sick kid, shopping for a tux for my wedding, my business partner (owner of the company) mother passed away, been in Colorado by the mountains, I get horrible service.”   Weeks and weeks passed and our relationship with Eric Campbell was getting frustrated because we wanted the siding done before the winter. 

This pushed on to October and finally we had a crew working to do the tear off, they worked for 2 days and then stopped and just left my house.  This incident happened two more times to us! 

We have a house with 1/3 old siding, 1/3 new siding, and 1/3 plastic wrap.  My house looks like a mess!  I told him we didn’t want him to do anything on our home anymore and he threated to put a lien on our home, have us foreclose on it, going to tell our insurance company we have done fraud since we didn’t pay them for “the work” they did, and we should tell him a dollar amount we feel we should pay and he can work with us.  He said we signed a contract with him and we could spend up to $12,000 paying them back, and just paying them is better for us. 

It is November and I still have a mess on my home! 

I did my research and found they are banned from Kansas State, and they owe them $80K!  Also the MN Department of Labor and Industry said:

“The Order requires them to stop doing this type of work.  If they violate the Order, it is a gross misdemeanor and the could face up to 1 year in jail.  In addition, the civil penalty will be reduced to a civil judgment and will be sent to the Department of Revenue for collection efforts.

If there is a payout from the Recovery Fund, the contractor must pay twice the amount paid out plus 12% interest and obtain a surety bond in the amount of $40,000 before they can apply for relicensure.  However, a revoked contractor is not eligible to apply for licensure for a minimum of two years.  And that does not guarantee that we would ever license them again.  So, for all practical purposes, they are done.”

They are still going to try to do work out there, so be careful and don’t pay them a dime!

Guess What!  I got papers to go to concilliation court for this!  Isn't it a joke.  I can't wait to go there and show them all of the documents of how the skrewed themself!  It is just a total waste of my time to go there.  Joe is the one that signed the documents and said he is the Production Manager.  Production Manager of a fake business that steals innocent people's money.  They are probably so scared and won't even show up.  What a joke and waste of time.

Letter mailed to pay MN STATE EXTERIORS

Hey!

 

I got a notice I had a certified letter to pick up.  I went to the post office and it was a letter demanding me to pay over $8000 for the material, labor, and dumpster for work done to my property.  It says I need to pay it with cashier's check to Courtney's address in Jordan in 10 days or there will be legal action!  it said to contact Cortney.  We did so, and he doesnt answer the phone, just text.  I told him I would be contacting the MN Department of Labor and Industry, he said to me "this conversation is over."

 

I contacted the MN Department of Labor and Industry and I will be sending them a copy of this letter.  I am suprised people can get away with fraud like this.  Also, they scare innocent people.  Amazing!

Eric Campbell has been doing this for YEARS! He has NUMEROUS Judgements against him! He even owes one couple $50,000! He has been committing FRAUD for years and will continue to do so until SOMEONE stops him! So ANYBODY who has ever done anything with Eric Campbell and/or Pinnacle Exteriors please file reports with Law Enforcement or State Officials to help put this SCUMBAG behind bars!
