Update on the creepy dude
Teesa®© wrote: I have the website for the company that employs the guy who was in my home yesterday. I send an email to the Customer Service department and complained about him. I sent a copy of the email to the owner of our unit.
Needless to say, the owner was not happy and called the company to complain as well. He also stopped payment on the cheque he had written to the company and told them he was not writing a new one until this issue is solved to MY satisfaction. He so ROCKS!!! He also told me that the guy was going to get talked to about this whole thing this morning. I'm curious to know if anyone else has complained, if he's done this before, or whether I'm the unlucky "first".
The company's Field Operations Manager emailed me this morning and asked if I would meet with their Technician Supervisor. Not really sure what a technician has to do with this, but I was happy to receive a reply. I emailed him back and said that was fine, but I'm not letting anyone in my home again unless my DH is present.
He wants to meet in the next day or so, but DH has been working late and I don't know if they'd come that late or not. Either way, it doesn't really matter, it's either during business hours or nothing.
So there's my update, cross your fingers that DH isn't working late tomorrow and that everything goes well . I'm a little nervous
DVFlyer replied: Good for you.
The Technician Supervisor would (I imagine) oversee the staff of technicians. So he would want to hear your story personally.
FWIW- I would have the Field Operations Manager in the meeting too- as high up on the chain as you can go. It's too easy for something like this to get buried under the rug if the true "decision makers" are not present.
And, while still being reasonable, they can come when it's convenient for you, not the other way around.
holley79 replied: Glad you complained. Just hope putting a Stop Payment on a check isn't a criminal offense in your area because he could be facing charges is the company pursues it. Here in the state of FL you can have criminal charges against you for doing that.
HuskerMom replied: That's good you contacted them, hopefully you'll be able to meet with them soon. Good luck!
Teesa®© replied: DH finally came home and I read the emails to him. It occurred to me that in the first email from the company, NOT ONCE is there an apology or anything even remotely related to one.
When I emailed him back and said that DH would be late getting home today and I would be talking to him first to see what time he'd be late tomorrow, well first off, I'd emailed this guy back at NOON. DH doesn't come home normally till 3.15 - 3.20, and when he's late, it's not until about 7.20pm. He wrote me back and said he's looking forward to hearing from me "shortly". Huh? It was going to be several HOURS.
Am I reading into this too much or is he trying to push it? Like, yeah, I'd like to get this over with, but with my DH on board and present. I'm not in THAT much of a hurry to get this done.
ETA: Holley, the owner told them he was stopping payment on the cheque until this issue was solved. Then they'd receive payment. I don't believe this is illegal here and I doubt that the owner cares at this point anyway. He's
mckayleesmom replied: Teresa....I would be concerned that the guy emailing you back might be the same guy that sexually harrassed you....
Be careful girly.
Teesa®© replied: I hadn't thought of that, but even if it is, my DH is going to be here. I'm not meeting anybody without him here.
After this whole BS with creepy dude, I won't be letting ANYONE in my home again and I don't care WHO it is.
Kirstenmumof3 replied: I just went and found the other post about this! I'm so sorry this happened to you and so glad that you wrote a letter to complain! That is absolutely unaccetable!
DVFlyer replied: I think you might be reading a *little* too much into the "shortly" comment, but regardless (or is it irregardless?) as long as they get this handled on your terms to your satisfaction is all that matters.
maestra replied: Was thinking about this this afternoon, as I was thinking about putting some stuff up on craigslist! Did they ever resolve it? What happened?
Sam & Abby's Mom replied: Yes, ,wondering what ever happened ?
Teesa®© replied: Thanks for thinking of me
DH had emailed the guy and said that in spite of what had happened [with the creepy dude in our home], as far as he was concerned, it could all be dealt with through emails since he's working 12 hour shifts and not able to be here. The guy emailed him back and said he'd rather meet in person since it's too informal through emails and that he was going on vacation soon. I'm not sure what's happened after that, DH hasn't told me anything concerning this lately. I'll ask him when he gets home from work.
