Complaint Review: Shawn Steele - Pensacola Florida

All of the stereo equipment was not returned. I have the invioce showing what Shawn Steele still has or sold. Three watches were purchased from Shawn and Shawn delivered one. Shawn still owes two watches or the money for two watches. A $150,000.00 bad check is criminal. The only letter sent to Shawn is for the 150K. The rest of what is owed has not been included in a letter. Shawn owes me personally for the 26K. My part of the Golf club deal. I was told by Shawn that this deal went through, but was never paid. The rest of the money owed is to the company.

First of all, this report misleads by far the occurrence of what has transpired between Shawn Steele and Southern Integrated Technologies, LLC. Jason Bell, one of three people involved with this company, is now trying to collect on loans with the use of threats, malicious prosecution, harassment, and now public forum for his personal benefit. On top inflating the figures by the thousands, much of what is listed in this report is simply not true. I will briefly respond to the accusations listed below as I now have a local attorney responding to this matter in a court of law. As for the three Rolex watches that Jason mentioned, I have a friend in the Jewelry market that was able to obtain ONE of three requested "special addition" timepieces only, at a very substantial savings to him. After three months of trying to obtain the two additional time pieces Jason chose to purchase watches on his own. As for the stereo equipment that Jason mentions was purchased from him or should I say from his company Southern Integrated Technologies, what he fails to mention is that all equipment that was not used in an install, was picked up by himself, a business partner and four employees. The only two pieces that were used were billed at a cost of well under the amount listed. I had a buyer for all the remaining pieces overseas, but because of differences between Jason and myself, I was unable to deliver these pieces which caused me much grief and another unhappy customer. This customer filed a report with this agency also. You are more than happy to look at the outcome of this transaction. After months of trying to obtain these pieces from another source I was unable to and refunded the monies in full. That is also documented on this site as well. In October of 2006, Jason filed a malicious complaint against me with his local police department. After being contacted by them and having explained the entire situation to an investigator, I was told that any disagreement that we had would have to be resolved in a civil court. That any monies "loaned" to me were not able to be collected criminally. With this being said, I did not hear from Jason Bell for almost 14 months after which he contacted me asking if we could resolve this situation. I asked him to send me a settlement agreement which he did on the 18th of March, 2008. Stated in this agreement is a much lower figure and also 30 days in which to respond. This report being filed 4 days after receiving this document. I find it very hard to believe that this is the road in which he wants to travel after coming to an agreement on the amount owed to Southern Integrated Technologies. Also worth mentioning, Jason Bell wants all monies paid directly to him, not to the business. As of this date, Southern Integrated Technologies, now has only two partners not three...........I wonder if a third of our agreement will be paid to the third partner no longer with them?

The 46K was the total I was to make off of the golf club deal. It was not a loan of 26K and repayment of 46K. We, according to him, were to split the price of moving the clubs from Cali to SC. The 20K was to be my profit. Sounds more like fraud on his part than usury on mine. I guess I used the word loan in my report. It was not a loan. This is how he puts the con on.

You allude to making what amounts to a loan of $26K to be paid back in the amount of $46K. Legally, that's called usury. No court will assist in the collection of any such usurious loan. Your subject Mr. Steele is free to ignore repayment wiith impunity. That loan would be judjed uncollectable. . It would seem as if you have unreasonable expectations of the return of monies loaned / invested with Mr. Steele. . Brings to mind a commonly used term....let me see....loan carp?...nawww..that doesn't sound right. Loan ...ummm...oh yeah! Now I remember loan SHARK.
