Complaint Review: Stewart Enterprises LLC - Severna Park Maryland

On 1-10-11, Harry Earl Lindsley of Stewart Enterprises, LLC was served with papers at his current residence 1014 South Creek View Court Churchton, MD 20733, to summon him for an Oral Examination in District Court Anne Arundel County case number 0009571-2009.Due to his failure to appear at his own appeal in Anne Arundel Circuit Court, the Anne Arundel Circuit Court upheld the decision of the District Court against Harry Earl Lindsley for $584.24 which at this writing he has failed to pay to me.

The Oral Examination date is set for March 21, 2011 in Anne Arundel District Court.I will update any new developments.

On 11-13-09 Mr. Lindsley filed a motion to vacate the previous judgment and received a new trial set for March 11, 2010. On March 11, 2010, Mr. Lindsley finally appeared in District Court for Anne Arundel County. This was my second appearance before Judge John McKenna in District Court. After hearing our cases Judge McKenna again ruled in my favor for a judgment against Mr. Lindsley and Stewart Enterprises for $584.24. On May 10,2010, I received a notice that Mr. Lindsley had appealed the ruling of the District Court against him and Stewart Enterprises, to the Circuit Court of Anne Arundel County case number 02-C-10-151657. The Circuit Court DeNovo hearing had been set for August 13, 2010. On August 13, 2010, I appeared in Circuit Court of Anne Arundel County and again Mr. Harry Lindsley failed to appear for his own appeal in Circuit Court. The Circuit Court upheld the ruling of the District Court and awarded me the judgment of $584.24 agaisnt Mr. Harry Lindsley and Stewart Enterprises. On August 17 and December 30, 2010, a case search on the internet at casesearch.courts.state.md.us under case number 02C10151657 indicates the possible reason why Mr. Lindsley did not show up for his own appeal. According to the court documents, Mr. Lindsley wrote the Circuit Court a "dishonored check" apparently under the name "All Pro" 160 Ritchie Highway, Ste 2A Severna Park, MD 21146 for $105.00 Check #1114 on 5-3-10 for the court costs of the appeal. The court record indicates that there have been numerous attempts by the Circuit Court to collect the funds from the check but with little success. Finally, the Circuit Court record indicates that the collection attempts have been referred to "Central Collections." Additonally addresses for Stewart Enterprises is 1494 Governors Bridge Road Davidsonville, MD 21035 and now may be doing business as All Pro LLC 160 Ritchie Hwy, Ste 2A Severna Park, MD 21146. Mr. Lindsley may also be residing in Churchton, MD. Attempts to collect on the District Court judgement and now the Circuit Court judgement to unhold the judgement of the lower court is continuing. I caution anyone reading this to be wary of doing business with Harry E. Lindsley from Stewart Enterprises or All Pro, LLC at the above addresses. On July 23, 2009 Mr. Lindsley filed a small claims suit against me for the above charges. In response to Mr. Lindsley's suit, I filed a counter suit against Mr. Lindsley and Stewart Enterprises, LLC for $574.24 and court costs for engaging in unethical business practices, creating fraudulent invoices, mail fraud, and extortion. On 10-8-09 I appeared in Maryland District court in answer to Mr. Harold Lindsley's suit. I did not know that on 10-6-09 Mr. Lindsley dropped his suit against me. On 10-8-09 I testified under oath in MD District Court on my counter suit as to the facts of this case #070200095712009. The District Court of MD Judge John McKenna ruled against Mr. Lindsley and awarded me the entire amount of my counter suit $574.24 plus $10 in court costs. Mr. Lindsley failed to attend the proceeding or testify on his behalf. Mr. Lindsley's actions are a testament as to the type of person he is and to the type of business he operates. He could did not have to file a suit and he could have dropped the suit in time for me to be notified. Instead he waited with the intent that I would break, give in to his coercion and pressure tactics and be fearful of his rude, contemptible, scummy behavior. Instead Mr. Lindsley failed to realize the power of the truth, did not show in court knowing his actions were criminal, and now has a judgment against him and his company for over $500. I will make updates to this complaint as time progresses, as to the collection of my judgment from Mr. Lindsley. I do not hold out hope that I will ever see a dime of the judgment!I strongly suggest to anyone who reads this complaint, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH STEWART ENTERPRISES, LLC in SEVERNA PARK, MD or MR. HAROLD LINDSLEY! Mr Lindsley's attempt to say that "...there is no necessary reason for a third party (BBB) to get involved with this situation" is his way of attempting to keep quiet his criminal business practices. Sure he does not want anyone else involved such as the BBB, he has sent out numerous other notices of paid accounts, attempting to double bill other customers like he has attempted to double bill me. If he had been practicing due diligence with sound businees measures, he would not attempt to collect on already paid accounts. I hope whomever reads this does not do business with this company. I will not even entertain the rudeness charges from someone as unprofessional as Harry Lindsley and will happily see him in court!

Please see BBB attachments.

Holly Engel from the BBB called the business to obtain a reply. Spoke to Mr. Lindsley who had an overbearing self-opinion of the matter, however, as a result he indicated he would respond.

On July 22, 2009 I was served with legal documents from District Court of Anne Arundel County MD indicating that Harold Lindsley of Stewart Enterprises, LLC was suing me for $129. 79 for the unpaid balance of labor charges, late fees, and service charges.  I remind everyone that I have previously paid this balance at the time work was completed on 8-11-08.  Mr. Lindsley billed me 6 months later in February '09 for not only the work completed, but also late charges and service fees w/o ever sending an invoice since August '08. 

From the time of my first report to now, Mr. Lindsley has threatend me with legal action and the ruination of my credit if I did not pay him.  I remind everyone that Mr. Lindsley has set up a scam of recouping embezzeled funds from a past employee by double billing customers who have paid, in hopes that the customers will not remember they paid or not have the paperwork and re-pay Mr. Lindsley.  This is not only extortion by Mr. Lindsley, but also mail fraud for creating fake invoices and using the U.S. mail to commit this crime.

In rebuttal to the suit by Mr. Lindsley, I counter sued for $574.24 plus court costs of $10 in District Court of MD indicating unlawful business practices, fraud, and extortion. 

On 10-8-09, after hearing all the evidence, Judge John McKenna dismissed Mr. Lindsley's suit and ruled against Mr. Lindsley in my favor for a judgement of $574.74 plus $10 in court costs.  Mr. Lindsley failed to appear for the proceeding.

This is a true testament to the veracity of my claim against this company and an indication of how low Mr. Lindsley's integrity truly is!  I caution anyone reading this NOT to do business with Stewart Enterprises, LLC in Severna Park, MD or Mr. Harold Lindsley.
