Made mistake, me and Kimmy need ideas...found sectional sofa on Craig's list that we wanted, called the guy (Plush & Comfort furniture, Clarkston, Georgia), said I could see the sectional at the warehouse. Went to warehouse, did'nt have sectional on the display floor, like I was told, but was assured there were 4 sets upstairs, brand new. I asked about the furniture, and the guy selling it to me, they assured me it was top notch, and Mr. Carrol was a very trustworthy individual, and could be trusted, as they had dealt with him for a couple years, and it would be a smooth transaction. On Monday, I gave Mr. Carrol a check for $1415.00, and made him sign a contract (after reviewing his unsatisfactory BBB record), stating the furniture would be delivered no later than 9:00 pm, Saturday. I called him Saturday, he said the price had changed from his cost of $1050, to $1400, and that he would need more time to cover the difference, as he had already used my check to buy more furniture. I told him it was'nt my problem, and that I wanted my furniture, or my money. He wrote me a check for the amount I paid him, and I agreed to give him a couple more days to "make it happen". 2 days later, he would never answer his phone, after leaving messages, my boss suggested trying to call him from the office phone, and sure enough, he answered immediately...Needless to say, we fought, and he hung up on me. I took his check to the bank, and of course, they would'nt cash it due to "lack of funds". Now Im out $1400, and have no furniture..Police basically say "good luck" and offer no assistance..will have to go through the DeKalb county judicial system to get my money back...I feel like doing something crazy...any ideas...
