My last in-person meeting with ****** was at the property on August 17, 2023– where I gave him the last cheques. After August 17th, ****** has disappeared with the money. ****** asked me to provide him this money, as he needed to order materials for the house including lumber, new windows, entrance doors, garage doors and kitchen cabinets and payments to his tradesmen for the completion of work.
    I have tried everything possible and made several attempts to call him, meet with him for my money but no response from him. I have sent him several messages and emails to settle invoices, and refund monies paid to him for which he haven’t completed any work. ****** have not replied back to me, didn’t refund my money and didn’t provide me possession of my materials. ****** ******* *** ******* ****** ***** *** ** ******** ** ***** ****** *** **** *** ***** ******** ** ***** ***** **** *******
    I am requesting your help and other support services for assistance to resolve this matter and get my money back from ******.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    Modifications are part of a renovation business and are within the knowledge of the contractors working in this industry. In our case, any request for additions, modifications or repairs were responded to him very quickly sometime right on the site, but still ****** ******* and his tradesmen either did not show up to work, done messed up incomplete work, or quit without any notice. ****** *******, let all that happened because he did not supervise the work, provided in-complete information to the tradesmen, completely absent, or simply choose to ignore everything that was happening at the job site under his nose.
