Burnt By A Member , Or Former Member

I was curious as to what happened to him. I thought he died.

Well, I guess the above post answers THAT question...

[rwhgme]

What Cajun does not tell you is that he got all his money back, does he. There is 2 sides of the story, but I am sure no one wants to hear my side, easier to listen to the other guy.

Everyone have a great day.

Maybe we do?...

Absolutely we Do!
I just Love a Good well-spun "Story"
Be sure and shed light on ALL the Stories and ALL the sordid Details when you do.

Eventually/Finally getting/giving the Money back does NOT offset or "Wash" the initial Bam-Boozeling and Shenanigans.
A Shyster who may happen to make Restitution is still a Shyster.

Like Ricky Ricardo said......

Sounds like a good Godfather attitude.
Remorse and repentance are two different things.

hard to rebuild character after the fact.
Got to go see my lawyer today to see what the next big deal is with my !@#$%^^^%. Even if I get all my money back today, we still aint going out together for a beer !

if i am not mistaken, i thought you could take somebody to small claims court if the money involved was $5000.00 or less. in doing so you would not need a lawyer and could also sue him for court costs which is not very much. you will go if front of a judge , state your case and then you will go in front of a mediator and discuss the issues and see if the both of you could come to terms. if not you will go in front of the judge again and he will settle it right then and there and with what you are saying you should win. good luck.

There is not 2 sides to this story because it was your choice to not have a story and getting HIS money back is far from the story! It is so much easier to listen to the only person saying anything!

"Everyone have a great day" What a disingenuous comment!

I believe that getting a judgement in small claims court does not ensure collection, nor can the judge force the losing party to pay up. End result is the winning party can put a lien on anything of value the loser owns, which cannot be sold until the judgment is satisfied. A lien requires a search of county records, just my thoughts, If I'm mistaken I'm sure someone will post.

so did I and found I was wrong . first court went just that way and I won the judgment for $1686.00 (not a lot but the money was never the point) which was most of what I had ask for . he went and appealed for a change of judge. went for the 2nd court and he hired a big time lawyer who set this off for a trial de-novo(what ever that was) so I hired a lawyer to figure this out. it has been almost 6 months. he has went out of business and now there is no ICE CYCLE to get any of my money back from. Cant get any lawyers fees or anything.

Today I 'm at a cross road of having to dismiss the case and re-file against him personally. (and more court cost and lawyers fees) even after you win the court can not make him pay anything. I 'm going to drop it as it keeps costing more with no sure way to get any money back.

I just have to be happy that the scumbag is not open and ripping anyone else off. I like to think I had some thing to do with this. In my mind people like this are criminals

YEP.....sometimes all that is gained is a Lesson Learned.....always a good thing when a "Bad Business" is no longer in business though.....

[jcolson]

I did all that too . Had a landlord owe me $1200. It was the balance for completely gutting a burned duplex. She never come up with the money, so I took her to small claims court and won. That was 10 years ago and have never collected a dime. She did call maybe 3 or 4 yrs ago around X-mas time to see if I would settle for $200. I said I'd get back with her, never did. I did put a lien on her property at the time of going to court. The court could care less if you get paid. Nobody follows through with it. It really sucks.

[skuuter]

Well Folks.....Welcome to the "Justice" System...not always "Fair" on either side.....

[saab9k]

Was hit on right side on my 2001 Blazer, she was on phone moved to a place with no free space. Right lane was for right turn only.

State Insurance, she has insurance with them. Police report says she was in the wrong. Estimate done by adjuster they picked. Damage $ 1835.00 The offered me $1000.00 since it is old, has 202,000 miles on it. Have full coverage, long trips rent a car. Have Allstate. will see what happens.

What would they have said if it was a $100000. Porsche 4 wheel drive.

[bikerbillone]

Exactly my point in previous post. I had a guy offer to build a shed for $2K, but he had to have $1500 up front for supplies, etc., for a contract to finish in two weeks; his BS operation drug on for three months. Good christian man I knew, so he sucked me in. He came in, did a lot of landscape damage, crooked foundation, could not get him back on the job to fix or finish anything, was totally arrogant when I called. Thought about small claims, then rejected it, just wasn't worth the aggravation. Stuff like that can really piss you off, there's a place called Hell for people like that.

[tom w]

the part that makes me mad at myself is I have tools, service manual , mechanical ability, just not enough time to get it done before our up coming vacation at the time. as it ended up we had to take a car on a bike trip cause it wasn't done. took 3 weeks to put a cam in. then it was screwed up. wrong lifters/ wrong pushrods.

next time I will make time!

[drumdoctor]

I got an email from him a couple of weeks ago and he told me
"To watch what I say about him"

I asked him if that was a threat but he never replied.


The bible says that "you will reap what you sow"


I wish the best for all those who lost money to him and that all of you get every penny back---plus more!!!

[bikerbillone]

People like that use threats and intimidation to get what they want. It's disgusting and we should all stand tall against people that use those tactics to demonstrate that it doesn't work.

[tom w]

question: why are there so many horses a$$es and so few horses?

[Bill Reber]

These con artists, you can take them to small claims, but then, ya still gotta collect. You get the judgement at great cost of inconvenience, if the the sorry lout still doesn't pay, ya get a lien on something he owns, there's another problem if doesn't own anything or sails under the radar in selling an asset.

Why not just piss away the file fee . you get the same result BTDT

Exactly, might just as well by yourself a six pack.
