    Mister Sparky deceived us into believing we had to do a major repair to fix a minor problem, that electricians later said was not the case and a large part of the outdoor project was covered by the power company and in no need of a private contractor to fix. However, on the day of our meeting with Mister Sparky, they told us they could not fix the minor issue without our pre qualifying for a loan to fix the major work. We were told we were pre qualifying only and they would not be paid until work was completed. We did not have a formal itemized estimate for this work. They could not locate the materials and could not even give a cost. Mister Sparky could not get county and power company approval. Mister Sparky abruptly left, saying he would call as soon as he had these things in order to set a date to do this work. We found out the following day that he abruptly left because what we were told was a pre approval, with no physical signature from us, the lender funded Mister Sparky over $17,500 in our name. We called the lender and requested they cancel this loan in our name that we did not feel we authorized. They told us we had to get Mister Sparky to pay them back since they already funded the project. A project with no formal estimate, cost, permits or a date set to complete. It is illegal for contractors in Colorado to demand full compensation up front for work. We have been fighting Mister Sparky for 4 months to return the money to the lender. Mister Sparky responded with gaslighting and retaliatory threats so serious, we considered a restraining order. Most of this abuse came from the top out of state co owner of the company. The ** CEO claims he cannot return the money because of his own lending costs and costs of materials that last we heard could not be located and are not on our property or in our possession. Now the lender is trying to destroy our credit. I believe this is a class 4 felony grand larceny theft, theft by deception, and retaliatory business.
