Prizants Carpet, David Johnson Ripoff sends fraudulent inspectors court liars shorted me carpet coverup bad installation extremely rude to talk to shabby workmanship con artist Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
*Consumer Comment: The same exact thing happend to me at Readshaw Prizants
*Consumer Comment: Same Old, Same Old
*Consumer Comment: What inspector did you use???
*Author of original report: Jason from Linda The web site you requested is Allegheny county Prothonotary.
*Consumer Suggestion: Yes....Prizants did send their inspector.
I had Prizants install carpet in my home. Their installers ran my carpet in different directions where it was seamed.It looked terrible. I called Prizants and it took me five days to finally get to speak to the store manager. I tried to explain my dispute to him but he just argued with me and hung up on me. He said he would send an inspector out to look at my carpet.
A month later a man identifying himself as a certified flooring inspector came to my home and looked at my carpet. He wrote some notes on a clipboard and told us we would here from Prizants in a few days. I knew I could not talk to Mr David Johnson so I had made numerous attempts to talk to the regional manager, But I never got any response from him.
I then decided to file a civil law suit against Prizants. Prizants responded then with a counter law suit and had my case pulled to their area magistrate court.
When my case came to court the magistrate would not listen and allow me to plead my case. The man that called himself an inspector would not reveal all the problems with my carpet and told the magistrate I just had loose and overlapping seams. The magistrate then told me to allow Prizants try to fix my carpet and continued my case for 4 weeks.
I then decided to have the carpet looked at by our own certified inspector and he found numerous problems. He also alerted us to the fact that the man Prizants sent to our home was not a Certified Flooring Inspector as he claimed to be. This man that Prizants sent even gave us his business card claiming to be an Inspector,when in fact he has not been certified since June of 1997. We were unable to find out why he lost his certification. I presented this evidence to the Magistrate along with my inspectors report, But he does not seem to want to here about it. He still expects me to keep this carpet in my home and wants me to accept a small discount off this carpet. I am presently awaiting for the Magistrate to decide on this case.
I just cannot believe how they can lie and commit fraud in court and get away with it. I have proven my case but the Magistrate is still siding with Prizants.
This is far from over, But now I will have some major expenses to put out to fight this case. At this point I really don't care because now I'm fighting for the principle and that far out weighs the cost. I am just so angry. It should not have come to this. I don't know how this business can do this to someone and hold it's head up so proud of themselves.

Same as you. It may have even been the same guy. I have to see if i can find his name. I've tried to find Ken Sinchar in the phone book for carpet inspectors in N. Huntington, but no luck. Did you get your attorney fees paid for? Did you end up getting your carpet replaced? Why did you tell the court that you didn't let them back in to make the repairs? They were so rude to me, i know that! But i dont know if that stands up in court. Can i use your inspector and possibly even your attorney????

On left side of screen you will see docket access. You will have to register. Logon options screen use : to search or to pay for filings by credit card. Once you log on, use free search by lidigant name. Then search all records. On that screen type in Prizant under name then at party type, choose defendent.Don't fill in any other areas, just hit search. Also don't worry, They do not ask for credit card to register. The inspector I used was A man name Ken Sinchar. He is FCITS certified. That is the kind of inspector you need. He is up in North Huntington. It cost me 180 when I had him in. But if you win you will get that back. Now I'm curious, Did Prizants send an inspector out to look at your carpet. If so, check with the FCITS certification to make sure he is certified. I was given a business card and everything by their inspector, But found out he lost his certification 8 years prior. Another piece of advise, Consider an attorney, My case never even went back to court. My attorney threatened to sue their A's off and they backed down and settled my case out of court. But they are very nasty if you go it alone, It will drag out for a while with appeals.

Hi, you ask how a judge can "overlook" evidence? Simple, he gets "contributions" from businesses. Same type of thing is happening to us in Cedar County, NE. Check out my report on Hartington Tree. The judge in our case has since "resigned", before a full scale investigation could be done. We borrowed money to get a lawyer and fight this, our new court date is set for Dec.22. We could not even get the town cop to file a tresspassing report on this Hochstein character, when he was caught red handed in our driveway tampering with the evidence of his crime, we even had a neighbor that witnessed it too.

I posted my own report. Check it out! But i was given advice that the best thing people in our situation can do is to expose this store as publicly as we can! I'm currently filing my appeal against them and am interested on how your case is going. I am sure there are things we can do to expose these crooks and possibly get compensation for all the money we lost to Prizants.
