    “How much is this going to cost us?”
    It’s a simple answer: NOTHING! ZILCH! ZIP! NADA! ZERO!
    Why would you pay for work you never had a contract for? Call the cops. They might try to say it’s a civil matter; but without a contract, this is extortion and fraud. If I was scammed like this, I wouldn’t go on national tv and let everyone know how stupid I was.

    Writing the check may have constituted agreement, thereby creating quasi-contract. Hopefully this is over-with.

      Every State that I ever lived in, the Law was if you pay them their Final Payment upon completion of a Job, that means Acceptance of the Work Done! That was an incredibly ignorant thing to do, giving them a Check and Paying them in Full. Then, to Cancel that Check, was just Dumb Insult to Injury! I can hear the Judge in Court: "Ma'am, if you had presence of Mind enough to Cancel the Check, why didn't you use the same presence of Mind Not to write it and hand it to them in the first place..."
      There is much more to this story that's not being said...

      In some states, stop order on a check after-the-fact constitutes fraud. That works against the homeowner if the case goes to court.

    WHY would you PAY someone for a job you never asked them to do? I just don't understand why she would write out a cheque--under any circumstances. (That said, the workers are clearly running a scam.)

    I'm wondering if there's more to the story. It's hard to believe that a company would give someone a free driveway.

    • @arthurneddysmith
      @arthurneddysmith 2 года назад +1

      They didn't "give" her a free driveway. They simply shuffled around some dirt on an elderly couple's property, because they couldn't find other work to do, and then insisted on a payment. It's really not that hard to work out.

      @@keithharris4378 You can do whatever you want to do. I'm not judging you.
      Here is where I'm coming from. I've lived in 13 different states during my life. I've lived in cities, suburbs, and rural areas. I currently live in a very rural area of Texas and yes, I do own guns and I've had training in the military on how to use them. I am pro 2nd Amendment.
      Having told you that I can tell you that in the cities and suburbs that I've lived in you would probably be arrested for doing that. Whether you agree or disagree with me is immaterial. Your actions could be construed as brandishing a weapon and it would most likely end up with you being arrested. But again, you do whatever you want to do. Me, I would much rather just call 911 and let them and the courts deal with the problem than get arrested over something stupid.

    I would tell them “where is the contract “?
    They had extra asphalt and had to use it up. They probably over estimated another job. I’d sue them to fix the issues.

    Isn't that when you walk into the house, grab the closest (or walk further and grab your FAVORITE) lead dispensing device AND promptly walk back outside AND suggest that ""ALL OF YOU CREATIONS NOW HAVE A CHOICE & THAT IS ........""
    1. Remain on my PRIVATE PROPERTY & continue to make your frivolous DEMANDS about some ""payment owed"" on an un-signed contract, or
    2. I can use this TOOL in my hand right here, right now that from a point in time of about 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 seconds, will be the only thing making any/all sounds that you will then VERY WELL KNOW exactly what my answer is to your frivolous DEMANDS about some ""payment owed""

    She doesn't need repairs. They need a drain installed at the low spot.
    The driveway is HUGE. You people calling the company "gypsies" and scammers are out of touch with reality.
    This is why company owners AND homeowners BOTH need to do large jobs under CONTRACT.
